So as long as you sign into your account it can be played on multiple consoles despite what you and Cs were saying.

It's exactely as we stated.

each disc would have to be tied to a unique Xbox Live account, else you could take a single disc and pass it between everyone you know and copy the game over and over.

Since this is clearly not going to happen, each disc must then only install for a single owner.

Microsoft did say that if a disc was used with a second account, that owner would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc

BOOMM!!!

I think both Sony and MS should add features for used games, but make the publisher have to actually turn them on for a game.

Right now the publishers want the money, but want Sony and MS to be the bad guys. The market will quickly tell you who is right.

Do you even know why he wanted to take his disk only to his friends?

To play the game which he can do by signing into his account in the cloud despite you telling him he can't.

-Processor and graphics: as rumored, a heavily customized AMD chip that combines an eight-core CPU, a GPU tailored for DirectX 11.1 graphics and 32MB of high bandwidth embedded ESRAM memory. The 28nm chip will consume around 100 watts, which is slightly higher than current Xbox Slim and PS3, but Microsoft promises noise from the cooling fans will be "four times quieter."

-System memory: a Sony-rivaling 8GB of RAM, although it'll be DDR3 instead of the PlayStation 4's GDDR5.

-Audio and video: 1080p and 4K both supported; 7.1 surround sound.

-Kinect: This will be bundled with the console and contain 250,000-pixel infrared depth sensor as well as a regular 720p web cam.

-Storage and media: a 500GB hard drive of unknown speed plus a Blu-ray / DVD combo drive that will be used as little as possible. We're told disc-based games will be ripped to the HDD automatically.

-Connectivity: HDMI 1.4 output and passthrough; a "few" USB 3.0 ports; gigabit Ethernet; plus, three separate 802.11n radios to allow the console to communicate with its controller (over a form of WiFi Direct) as well as other devices (such as perhaps other Windows-based phones and tablets) without losing its connection to the internet. At other times, two radios could be used to maintain a stronger WiFi signal.

How big are games storage wise? This concerns me for both consoles if the mandatory installation is legit.

BF3 was around a couple gigs I think and each DLC has been a gig or more. It adds up
