Did you guys know you have to check-in online on X1 every 24 hours or the games won't play?

What happens when MS abondands the X1? Will you still be able to play then? What happens if in 15 years the tech to go online has changed and now X1 can't get online?

I'm sorry it's a shoe-in to buy a PS4 right now.

X1's initial conference tried to sell you a Tv box that you could talk to.

You do realize that your Xbox 360 games won't work on the Xbox One right? What makes you think X1 games will work on the next?


Even Sony said PS3 games both digital and disk will not work on PS4. However through a paid streaming service they might have an emulator available to play PS3 games.

So what of X1 has a masterpiece game that you'll replay every four years cause you love it and sorry you want be playing it on X2 because it won't play those X1 games and oh now you can't play it on X1 because its broken, Internet connection is newer tech now, or MS abandon's the X1.

To many unknowns.

#1, in the entirety of my console playing life, backwards compatibility has NEVER made a difference to me. why would i want to play previous gen games when i have the sequels to them or just plain better new gen games to play? i understand that's a concern for some, but not for me.
and, on top of that, the 360 will be near worthless within probably 2 months of the XB1 release, so i don't plan on selling it for a measly $20. if i want to play old games, i'll have an old console to play them on, no big deal. you can't put SNES cartridges in a WiiU, but i don't hear anyone complaining...

"what if..." can you please give me a legitimate argument here? "what if..." the PS5 won't play that masterpiece PS4 game? OH NO!!! :bored:

None of the above.
don't play enough to warrant the cost of a new console.

I'll rather use that money elsewhere.

Meh, none are for me. I don't like having to have an internet connection to play my games. I live in OK and usually once a year or so the internet will go out due to some severe weather and it'll take a week or more to get it working again. Mine is still buggy from the last round of twisters that hit the metro.

You missed my point which is.... There is a chance you won't be able to play your X1 games on the x1 its self. You do realize you have to be always online so Microsoft can check your game ownership status every 24 hours. If your console isn't online for more then 24 hours then you can't play the game. Sounds wonderful. You don't own the game anymore. Just the license to play it.
