This confirms the need to connect every 24 hours to play on Xbox One

Microsoft has officially new details on the operation of Xbox One and some of its features. Among them, the company has confirmed the requirement to connect to the internet every 24 hours, as long as we play from our main console, because if we play from another need to connect each time. Once overcome this period of play offline, we can not keep playing until you reestablish the connection, but we can watch TV and play movies on DVD and Blu-Ray. At the same time, Microsoft has announced a new system for families, which allow up to 10 users can share their libraries in a single console game. Furthermore, as now all games are linked to our account, the entire catalog can be purchased digitally, allowing us to access our library of games from any Xbox One For example we go to a friend's house who has Xbox One, and have all our library of games available.

The second hand will depend on each company

On the thorny issue of the second hand, the company has said that they have designed the console so that the editors are those who can allow or disallow sharing shopping games, so Microsoft will not establish any kind of fee to distributors, enable consumers shopping or titles, decision lies with the editors. Another interesting detail is that we give the games disk to our friends without any rate, even if it means there are two requirements: only allow us to gift a game to someone who has been on our list of friends for at least 30 days and same title may give away only once. About the game rentals, a very common practice, Microsoft has confirmed that no game rentals will be available at launch of the console, but that they are still exploring this possibility.

Kinect can pause and off

Finally, do not need to have Kinect always on and can "pause" so that only responds to voice command "Xbox Off", something that even we can disable so that Kinect is off completely. Yes, there will be some games and other applications that require we have it on.

If there were any doubt, when Xbox One is on and you are having a conversation in the living room, the conversation is not going to be recording or internet.
