    So I loaned a friend a game and they installed it. That went fine. Now when they go to play it it doesn't work it simply just keeps trying to load. What is up with that?

  2. Xbox home account won't share games but shares gold!

    I just got an Xbox one x yesterday, added my friends account who I game share with, and can't play any of the games. They wont even show up on my ready to install. My old Xbox was a day one and finally cramped out, it game shared fine. We have spent alone
    of money on games together and now I can't play any of them. Everything is set right and I've reset the Xbox 3 times and still nothing. Even did a system reset and let it download the updates again. Still nothing I don't understand why it isn't working. Please
    help!

  3. The truth about the Xbox One and why I like it better than PS4(long)

    [quote user="auburnlaw"]

    " if you want something to be bad"



    No one wants it to be bad, it just is bad. I've been an xbox user for 4 years. I've got PS3 only because I bought it to replace my broken bluray player. I didn't want the X1 to be loaded with anti-consumer features, required
    internet, and a snooping kinect. MS did that. I'd like it just fine if they removed all that stuff.



    "Nothing complicated about lending a game to a family list.. "



    Seriously? Here's what has to happen:

    1. Joe picks out a game to borrow.

    2. If the publisher has flagged it as non-lendable, Joe can't use it.

    3. If it is lendable, I have to take Sally off my FL.

    4. I have to add Joe.

    5. I have to wait 1 hour.

    6. Joe can then get the game.

    7. LEAVE JOE ON MY FAMILY LIST FOR AS LONG AS HE HAS THE GAME

    Now for the kicker. If Sally wants to borrow a different game, now I have to:

    1. Boot someone else off my FL -- which, if Joe was the 10th person I've loaned a game to I can no longer do so Sally is SOL until someone returns a game.

    2. Add Sally back on the list.

    3. Wait another hour.

    4. Give Sally the game.

    5. Sally plays.

    That is simple in your world? For PS4 all I have to do is give Joe, Sally, and, if I want, every person on the planet, a PS4 game and they can play it. No questions asked. No fiddling with lists. No worrying that I'll forget
    I loaned Sally a game and if I bump her off the list she can't play the game I loaned her any more.



    Dude, do you even think these things through before you type them?

    Ummm lending on the family list doesn't require you to give anyone anything. they just access your shared drive and they can play any game.

    Hmmm, that is strange. I would first try deleting the installed game, and trying to reinstall it. It could just be that something went awry with the installation

    Bad news for the used game market.

    another problem wanted to add, big one for myself is loaning out my game to my friends when i already bought the game with my money. They defend this by saying you let your friend play that game on your account. that's a problem number one i cant go play
    my other games when i feel it and my friend is building my point system when that is suppose to be mine and that he accomplishments is meaningless for him. Don't like the idea big brother is going to tell me who i could or can't loan my game out, I bought
    the game- it should be my property and i should do what ever i want with it with out asking corporate if its ok.

    I DONT support the change announced today

    @ Scottiths

    What is the point of sharing if you can't play with him.

    Do you not understand only 1 (ONE) person could play at a time????

    Are you that misinformed that you believe Microsoft would let someone purchase 1 copy & simutanously play it with 10 of your friends?!?!?

    [/quote]

    then what was the big uproar about no longer being able to share games (Disc) with friends? afterall if I loan a game to a friend I can't play it.

    You can't simply take it to a friends, loan it out or give it away.
