univbee posted:You still need the disc, though, the game won't launch without either the disc or a digital license. But it would be nice since the majority of people can get games physically cheaper than digital, so this would workaround let you get these same prices for digital, assuming a 1:1 trade.

American McGay posted:Yeah but I mean the concept is the same. You buy a cheap used game and then get the digital license for it. I don't see how doing it through a retailer would change that. Gamestop would obviously not be allowed to resell any discs that get turned into digital copies. But BC with a physical disc is not a digital license. You'll always need the disc to start the game, even though it uses it for nothing but to check your ownership. That rumored trade-in scheme would give you actual disc-free digital licenses instead.

The Sad Box is interesting but I’m more curious to see what Microsoft announces at GDC regarding compatibility with other platforms. I’m already thinking about replacing my iPad with a Surface for home game streaming, but if I can do that with a Switch or my iPhone then that’s even better.

American McGay posted:A 1TB 5400rpm drive (because lol you know that's what's gonna be in there) is like $20 for a normal citizen, which means it would probably cost Microsoft about $3. For reference in August 2017 I got an 8TB external drive with hub to use with my Xbox for £180, last years version is £160. I’m guessing internal drives are even cheaper than that. Edit: I could grab a 4TB external drive for £100.

ixnay posted:Bad free game alert I am legit stoked about this. I maintain that while it's not as good as 1 or 3, it's still pretty fun. It has 4 player coop, and wingsuits. While the campaign runs out of steam almost immediately, it's still fun for a mindless romp with friends. Especially for free.

My 360 is basically an NCAA 14 and Tiger Woods 09 machine at this point. I look at my shelf of physical 360 games and the ones that I can't just put in my Xbone are a pretty small minority.

Weird anomaly: Burnout 3 was originally an Xbox Original game with 360 back compat and available as a digital purchase, but it doesn't currently have One back compat. Are there many more games like this? Seems like a weird outlier. BLACK, an Xbox Original game with 360 back compat made by the same developer works with the One. I just wanna do some road rage on my OLED. (Also before you recommend B4, I'm not as nostalgic for that one).
