True, but each game given away removes it from your share list, as you would no longer be the owner of that disc.

Want a nice strategy? Gamers can organize on a weekly or even monthly basis only giving a single person access to their game share.

Alright, Phaethon borrowed my copy of Forza 5 over family share last week, so this week, jolly has exclusive access to it.
Phaethon could also give jolly exclusive access to his copy of quantum break.
Grift could give Phaeth exclusive access to his copy of Battlefield.

Basically, you could easily see a dedicated thread where people are asking, "Hey, who has a copy of quantum break they want to share with me?" A person responds and then gives that person exclusive access. Could be an interesting system if managed and organized via a forum. People would become their own gamestop/blockbuster/gamefly LOL.

Then I could charge phaethon a shipping and handling fee, even though shipping the product would cost me nothing. :)

You are confusing me more :S

You originally said "The only people restricted are the other 9 people on your family share list who suddenly decide they want to play your shared games, too, only to realize that they can't because one person is already occupying the single shared game slot."

But now you are saying each game has its own share slot ?

So its not 1 shared slot per account, its 10 at one time ? So 10 people can be playing 10 of your games at one time as long as they are all playing a different game ?

It really shouldn't be this hard to understand :S

No, each game doesn't have it's own share slot, each live account has a single share slot, and that single share slot alone. What I was referring to was a strategy of sharing that was less unpredictable. I'm suggesting each gamer only providing access to their game share to a single user only, that way no matter what that person is always guaranteed access to the games that you've chosen to share without having to worry about other people beating them to the single available slot.

And then gamers on a forum can take advantage of this basic concept of one user to a game share on a much larger scale, effectively increasing it's effectiveness and reliability across a wider list of users. If there's only a single slot available to a potential list of 10 users, might as well make that single slot 100% reliable for a single user.

Hey Deft, too early to start trading future PSN user IDs? Last gamer off XBL please turn off the lights!

deftangel on PSN and Steam already. Hope you're well dude.

And the ball got rolling with their constant destruction of internal studios, getting $$$ signs over the eyes over media, getting in bed with big media in regards to DRM, mesmorized with the Wii/Kinect social angle, mistaking their 12 mo lead and snagging exclusives as a sustainable strategy, and the HUBRIS they could ratchet up the price to $500 on 2010 hardware when their competitor has BETTER hardware for CHEAPER. Heck, they even pissed off Indie devs and axed BC for XBLA!

Amen. You clocked on to this quicker than most. Harrison has come in and got a lot done in a year but understandably not turned it around for launch. Working on Xbox One is largely why they got a pass the last two years so wtf have they been doing. First party launch wise it's horrendously thin.

If Peter Moore was there they'd have had a 360 virtual machine going for BC. Glory days of Xbox are long gone I'm sad to say.

Agree with Grift's sentiment re Don entirely. This entire fiasco is on his watch. Couldn't believe that comment when I saw it earlier. Crazy Ken was less arrogant (and achieved a lot more to boot).

I'd just like to point out how awesome the SOURCE engine looked in Titanfall. All you doubters and non-believers in the power of Source, get ye behind me!

The Source detractors don't understand what an engine is and what it's for.

I'll be very interested to see how this actually works out.

Dev on Titain Fall.

"We're using Microsoft's cloud compute initiative to run all our servers for it, so it's all running on dedicated servers," Owens said. "We'll spin up and spin down servers as necessary, and it'll do all the AI hosting and physics calculations and all matchmaking and all of that good stuff. It's all dedicated servers, all the time." Owens also confirmed the PC version would feature dedicated servers.

I very much doubt it has to or that you'd notice the difference.

Dedicated servers on every game is great news for the MP side of gaming.

That's only possible because its an multiplayer only game, think of it like an MMO, all AI is done on those servers also, its hardly new.

The actual cloud computing AI solution actually offloads those calculations from the server TO the cloud (to THE CLIENTS). It's obviously only viable in MMO-type AI calculations. There are some practical applications.. But really.. Microsoft is calling everything cloud and wildly exaggerating what it can do. So yeah. Lies.

One good thing they did is have more games than PS4. I can't find any other reason. I think if they continue to bring more games not just 1-2yrs but for the console life cycle may be it is some consolation. But I would not put my money on it, xbox and 360 to go by. There is no way it deserves 499. LMAO. They love Kinect too much so I do not think they will remove it. But may be next year price drop. Surely in 2015 at least.
