You forgot the fact that Microsoft will require you to pay a fee to play a used game.

Dude, this is that Star Wars stuff. Microsoft put legit apps on your console now. The one should play nice with all your Microsoft products meaning so perpetual syncing of information. You know the One means we're getting Xbox branded surface RT tablets with Kinect cameras.

Most importantly, users don't have to use a controller to navigate anymore! I hope you can search the web and download with the One. Imagine posting to OKP by dictation. Finally, this console will be subsidized so stop whining. It should cost $300 with two years of live.
