- Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.
- Trade-in and resell your disc-based games: Today, some gamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash and credit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers. Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games.
Give your games to friends: Xbox One is designed so game publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There are two requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once.
Does anyone understand these correctly?
For the family thing, does that mean everyone can play same game as you at the same time, or only another game at the same time as you playing a different game then them? And does it mean every memeber can play a game at the same time or just "one" member, so no multiple family members playing games from the library at the same time? God why can't they just detail it properly.
And the friend thing, does that mean it's a gifting system? Your copy can only be transfered once, once your friend got it, he can't gift it another friend? Or does that mean if you gift the game to one of your friends and you buy another copy, you can't gift the game again to anyone?
I understand that last one as 1 user/1 license. Say I let you borrow Madden 25. I can let you borrow that ONE GAME one time. If/when you give it back to me, I can't let you borrow that one game again. Doesn't mean I can't lend you another one of my games.
And, I wonder if you let that other person borrow it, if you'll be able to continue playing it too. If so, that's pretty awesome. Especially since there doesn't seem to be a time-limit on the borrow (which I don't expect there to be). Obviously, that is the best case (awesome) scenario.
