The Xbox One was revealed yesterday.  Kotaku has a good summary of the information given about the console.

Launching later this year worldwide, Microsoft’s next gen console is marketed as ”a state-of-the art gaming console, a new  generation TV and movie system and a whole lot more.”

There were some good things shown.  I’m sure Forza will be excellent, and Quantic Break looks very intriguing.   I’m not a huge fantasy football player, but I could see how cool it would be to have those things updated while you watch the game.

However, I feel the need to focus on a couple huge pieces of information that came out after the conference, courtesy of Corporate Microsoft VP, Phil Harrison:

• First, relating to the rumors I posted in the past few weeks, talk about used games being restricted/blocked:

But what if you want to bring a game disc to a friend’s house and play there? You’ll have to pay a fee—and not just some sort of activation fee, but the actual price of that game—in order to use a game’s code on a friend’s account. Think of it like a new game, Harrison said.

“The bits that are on that disc, you can give it to your friend and they can install it on an Xbox One,” he said. “They would then have to purchase the right to play that game through Xbox Live.”

“They would be paying the same price we paid, or less?” we asked.

“Let’s assume it’s a new game, so the answer is yes, it will be the same price,” Harrison said.

• And it was later revealed the console will need to connect to the internet at least once per day for games (even single player offline titles) to work:

Kotaku: If I’m playing a single player game, do I have to be online at least once per hour or something like that? Or can I go weeks and weeks?

Harrison: I believe it’s 24 hours.

Kotaku: I’d have to connect online once every day.

Harrison: Correct.

I find these two pieces of information very troubling, and they’re enough that, if true, will keep me from purchasing the system.  Think about all the things that can happen where you might not be able to connect to the internet every day.  Do they not know how many countries around the world do not have reliable internet available to the people?  Or even how many areas of the US have the same issues.  Those are no longer potential customers.  I think the other entertainment industries have found ways to adapt to the used market and have benefitted from it, while video game publishers are struggling to do so.  These publishers and manufacturers seem hell bent to collect as much money as possible on every part of what we do with our consoles and games, even at the expense of their own marketshare. 

How do you feel about it?
