XBox One DVD and PC

Xbox One will be able to play DVD's. DVD + Bluray + TV watching + Xbox Live + Apps + Gaming = All in One entertainment system = Xbox One. All in One entertainment system is what M placed emphasis on @ Xbox Reveal & E3. M doesn't just cater to just us younger
generation but to older people too (who may enjoy watching DVDs and want to play it on a Full HDTV rather than a 1333x768 resolution PC. The popular Xbox 360 uses a DVD drive.

The disc will only work on the console. You would have to purchase it for the PC if you want to play it there.

It's an Xbox ONLY Download IceStorm III & any DRM on a PC would expire & your DVD is of the PC DRM unless you have burned the Xbox Live DRM on the DVD...

A DVD burner & DVD+R DL, isn't an Authorized device for transferring HALO Legends, as the usage rules state..

so why does a DVD player or a DVD ROM on a computer lasts up to ten sometimes twelve years before they die from wear and tear playing DVDs all the time.[/quote]



Discs in DVD players spin at 1x, and they generally not on nearly as much as a Xbox console, unless you're watching one film after another all day.



PC DVD drives don't fail as much because once software is installed on to the computer, the DVD drive no longer utilised. The same goes for PC games. Even when PC games are installed, the disc is only read for verification. Many PC games don't even require
the DVD to inserted once they are installed as they use various types of DRM for protection. They last longer because they aren't running at 12x speed for hours on end.



PC DVD drives can still fail though, believe me, I repair PCs and I've replaced a fair few.



If you install your 360 games you can extend the life your consoles DVD drive immensely.
