Cracked.com does that every time you copy/paste from one of their pages, I don't know how it does it. Some kind of code-magic.
As of recently, they're saying that as long as you're signed in with your profile, you can play it on another XBone wihtout paying anything, so if your xbox dies in a fire you can just buy a new one, sign into your account and everything will be fine. And you can let a friend play for free as long as he's playing on your account and you're not using it. Which will probably just result in people craeting a new XBL account for every game they might want to let people borrow. My annoying teenage cousin has a different xbl account for every online game he plays for some reason, and wants me to add every damn one.

It should be noted that both Microsoft and Sony have been trying to position their consoles since the 360/PS3 as not 'game playing devices' but rather 'full entertainment solutions'. They would like you to get rid of all the electronic stuff connected to your TV and just route everything through them, so they get a piece of every pie. And completely forgetting that people want to buy their consoles BECAUSE they are game playing devices. Without the ability to play games, there is no point in buying one of their consoles, since you can get everything else they can do cheaper as separate pieces. Excepting when PS3 was the cheapest blue-ray player on the market at release because they were taking a huge loss selling it under cost. Now of course, you can buy a blue ray player for a third of the cost of a PS3, or less.

Not to mention the other problem is that modern TVs already do 90% of it, no extra equipment necessary.

It will all come down to the game selection. A console cannot be successful unless it has a great selection of games that the gamers wants to buy. And while there's a lot of CoD-fans out there, they cannot support a console on their own. Msoft needs to bring out some titles people are interested in.

Ah, doyee...should've thought of that, since it sounds like a console version of Steam.
