Do you have a source that said it was unlimited?

It'll be brilliant if they introduce a sharing feature for digital downloads, it would promote transition from disc to digital very quickly up to about 50% of owners.

The dude saying "it was as we described" is kind of a snotty response since they barely described it.

Well I'm sure it was a tremendously promising extremely vague service that worked differently from day-to-day, depending on Microsoft's mood.

Didn't the other guy say they were still negotiating with publishers over the feature? You'd think that publishers would want some level of control over the sharing. If the used market is killing the industry, and if they only wanted users who were forward looking, didn't mind being online, and didn't mind a lot of digital stuff, well, that userbase probably overlaps a ton with people willing to share games digitally.

The deals with developers were probably "You can do this sharing thing if you block used games."

Actually, if you have the gift card number, i think you can do it yourself from the order in your order history. Pretty sure I've done that before.

It's probably like Redbox, "You can't share in the first 90 days."

That would actually be awesome. Just imagine the newbie slaughter on day 91 for multiplayer games.

re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??

After seeing the list of exclusives for both consoles that was posted a few pages back, I doubt if I'll ever buy an XO. The PS3 list was far more varied and interesting. I don't play Forza, I'm sick of Halo, don't need anymore GoW And Titanfall is coming out on the 360, right?

Also, in regards to Watch Dogs sales, I'm not buying it on release day because it's Ubisoft. It'll be $40 or less within a month.

I've been carrying over $150 balance of a $200 Amazon Gift Card I got from my in-laws last year for my birthday since Labor Day. I've been moving it from one deluxe pre-order (Bioshock Infinite Songbird Edition) to another (Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist Paladin Multi-Mission Aircraft Edition) with the eventual plan of putting it towards a next-gen console. I just now cancelled that Splinter Cell pre-order and went into my PS4 pre-order and there was a highlighted message at the top of the screen telling me I had a $150 gift card balance and would I like to apply it towards this order. I clicked Yes. Now I just owe $250 for the system (and I have another birthday between now and then. Come on, In-laws!!!

They all say "includes exclusive in-game content that will unlock unique items and experiences and collectible box art". Most likely these will end up being like the "Limited Editions" of games that say "Exclusive content in this run only!" and then never get a second pressing.
Excellent! Thanks!

I put the first 3 in my cart.

Sports Rivals should come with the system!

Awesome thanks. Basically that is what I want to do.

That is actually a great idea! Kinect Sports was pretty much the only Kinect game I played and enjoyed. Bundling the new version for free with consoles may have softened the blow of forced Kinect and the $100 price increase.

Yes. You can change your form of payment on a pre-order up until Amazon processes it for shipment.

I've added Amazon gift cards to pre-orders numerous times in the past.

Also, if Assassins Creed is any indicator, it will be a technically competent but incredibly repetitive; the sequel will be the must buy.

That isn't a policy, that's a hardware impossibility at this point.

They need a Gaikai (currently non-existent) style service.

Did we already know that "Spark" is free on Xbox One? Well, at least partially F2P with some DLC add-ons etc? Seems cool and now I will actually try it out. I just read about this today, but I guess they announced it a few days ago.

Xbox Channel.

I just want a Sega Channel-esque service. Flat monthly fee, no additional costs, unlimited games. Whoever does it first, Microsoft or Sony, will get all my money.
