I know I should be hating on the Xbox one but... What do you guys think about the posibility of sharing your game library with ten family (not really needed for them to be family) members?
Seems like a really cool feature to me. I mean, you could have 10 friends with your same traste for fighting games or whatever genre and have access to 10 times more games. Seems pretty cool.

I know, this is why I ask. If this turns out to work well I really wouldn't mind about the rest
As I understand, how it works is that one other person on someone's family plan can play a game at the same time as the main account holder. It is all fine and dandy but I cannot help wonder what happens when two non-main account holders are playing a game the the main account holder decides to play, that and the fact that it is subject to change.

They must make a White ps4, looks amazing.
Until the controller gets all disgusting from sweat and dirt, lol.

If you want a different looking console, keep a lookout for case mods to come out later (NOTE, case mods VOID your warranty).

I'd imagine you would have to check the gamer tag to see if they are playing the game, or its possible the system itself tells you someone within the family is currently playing it and warns you before you boot the game.
Wait, what? A family "plan"?

Apparently MS thinks all their consumers are stoopid.
They haven't been very clear on it, but it seems that you can up up to 10 people to your "family" which can then share your entire game library between those 10 people. How much of that is true is still up in the air as MS hasn't been very specific about it.
does this family "plan" cost extra? I hope at least two people can play the same game at the same time.

No, from what I recall from an interview with Major Nelson, it's just like "taking a book from a library." Anyone can take the book, but only one can be taken at any time. Also, it does not cost any extra.

Ahahaha! you can't fool us Microsoft lol.
Better off building a PC which can easly out perform Xbox One & PS4 ( I might get a PS4).

On a related note, one of the PS4 demos (for Knack) crashed at E3, and guess what came out.
In other words, we know that at least one company was showing of games on actual dev kits, and that company wasn't Microsoft.

Microsoft has been EXPOSED.
Update: PS4 will be what I start with. Adding in all the sports games, BF4, Destiny, Watchdogs, KH3, Final Fantasy & CODG are in my interest. They are all multi-platform. The Xbox One will have to wait but I still say the games are better, unless they address the policy issues, it's PS4 1st. But for all this stuff I'm hearing from others, if it isn't from the official websites or from the companies themselves, then it's false to me. Nothing against anyone.That's just how it is for me lol.

Even with the only one person at a time feature it seems pretty cool. I would play my games. When i felt like trying out something different I'd check what's available from my "family" (out of ten people there would be something available).
Personally, I dont mind about the second hand thing (I buy new). I dont mind about the 24 hour thing either (I already do that). The only thing that really bothers me is the 500 price point. It will take years for me to buy it because I cannot spend that much.
Still, the ps4 is also a strong posibility for me.
Another question:
What about the cloud computing?
People say it's false. But developers who are developing for the Xbox one seem to describe it as very useful (although not as amazing as MS says)
