Xbone and ownership

- To make all this work, tracking which games you own, tracking which games which Xbone can currently play, tracking which games your friends have access to, and tracking which games are being resold, Microsoft requires your Xbone to check in once a day or else it will not play any games, disk or no disk, period. And if you or your friend are playing a game on an Xbone you don't own the Xbone must check in once an hour or else it disallows the playing of games a friend owns.

Kind of random but I had someone trying to sell me a dongle from my mobile provider yesterday - she said "but what if your broadband goes down for a few days and no one can repair it?"

I didn't ask her how much data an XBone would use, poor mite.
