Think about this before you buy an Xbox One - Lukasz Lindell

Xbox One Xbox One

Xbox One is an impressive machine in many ways, but before you buy one, you should know these things.

LiveTV

TV functionality as Xbox showed up on his presentation will be exclusive to the United States at first. The idea is that TV on the Xbox One should work in the rest of the world, but when is not certain. However, it said that it will be needed bought an extra receiver for non-Americans, once the feature is enabled.


Requirements for connection

order to play games on the Xbox One will need to connect to Microsoft’s servers at least once a day, otherwise the game functionality to fail. This requirement applies to all games, then even solo games not played on the Internet. No game playing out in the country rather than in other words.


Backward compatibility

Old games will not work. Have you bought yourself a bunch of games for the Xbox 360, none of these work for Xbox One. This is due to the new processor architecture of the latter machine. Neither old game controllers will work.


Used games

There will be a second hand market for games for the Xbox One, but it’s every game developer determines the conditions for trade. You will be able to sell back the games you bought on disc to authorized dealers who have made agreements with the company develops. Game designers can allow you to sell or give away a game to a friend. The requirement is that you have the person on your friends list at least 30 days. Each game can only be passed on once.


Privacy

Xbox One listen and watch almost always, this is for you to be able to control it with your voice. Previously it has been said that the camera and audio module Kinect would not go to shut down, which is now shown to be possible, unless you are playing a game.
