Did they clarify if this sharing would allow you play the same title at the same time?

The only limitation, it seems, is that only one person can be playing the shared copy of a single game at any given time
It appears that only one person can play the shared file of a game at any single time, which loosely implies that the XBL account to which the game is tied would be able to play concurrently with one shared user.
Edit - It would be disappointing if there were a cap on the amount of games that could be in the shared folder at any given time. The complexion of this system changes quite significantly if the shared folder can only hold 3 games at a time, with additional temporal limits on how frequently games can be moved in and out of the shared folder.

I wish I was that good looking with a cool accent, Taylor.

No, it does not. It implies that you will not be able to play the game at the same time. You are looking too much into that. The "shared game" is still the "shared game" regardless of who's account.

depends on if there are two designations of a games digital state..
the "original purchased and licensed copy" and the "shared" copy.
Would be gay if i go to logon and some "family member" is playing that game and I couldnt play it because i was nice and let them access to my shared copy, wouldnt it? could i then kick them off? I mean, i paid for it.
but if i can play always, and one person can access my "shared" copy... that is a helluva lot better

But I see what you are saying. More info needs to come out. But when xbox first released the news, the line of how you could not play at the same time was clear. I don't know where to find that though.

I wonder if there are any additional fees involved with it. I can't see how too many publishers would be on board with this as could potentially cost them a lot of sales.

That's what it does for Netflix on Live, except it doesn't treat one account over another. It just kicks out whoever it currently watching stuff (my younger bro uses my Netflix login for streaming).

For Sony's first party. 3rd party publishers are still able to implement online passes. To put it simply, it's the same as the PS3.

I still buy used cds/dvds because often they are a lot cheaper then buying them from ITunes. Same case here. Even if you can rent a digital copy, it will be so overpriced. I bought Third Eye Blind CD for 4 bucks. If I bought it on Amazon, that's .99/song. Plus I can download the songs from the cd and resell the cd.
