Why not drop the need for discs all together? They could also cut the bluray drive out and lose less on each console. If they're going to shoot themselves in the foot by nuking used games, and not letting you play your disc on multiple consoles they might as well have gone all the way.

I never was a Steam fan, what the hell... I don't like Steam at all, I never supported the idea of have all the purchased games tied to an account and play when they want, where they want, how they want, and for the time they want.

If the new xbox is going to be the same as Steam, more the hassle of a fixed not replaceable internal 500 GB HD, with online activation, mandatory games install and the games being worst than the PC counterparts, as always they will be... then... why to buy a Xbox One at all? Steam is giving us the same now, augmented and multiplied, only that it is better, way better, and even with all this dislike from me towards Steam I am unable to see any advantage of Xbox One over the Valve's solution.

No they didn't. They're going to drop a fortune on exclusive games to ram this into the market and get people accustomed to it. And people will buy it in droves.

Hmm, it's tempting, but I just can't stand 8 bit games.

Could always hang onto the code to swap with someone later...

He had a side business in which he helped his friends and family object to class-action settlements and then retrieve cash settlements in return for withdrawing their objections.

One of those cases was a class-action settlement involving Groupon on appeal at the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Hansmeier objected to the settlement on behalf of Padraigin Browne, who is not only his client but also his wife.

While you can save your game, you can only do so at a space station. This means that once you leave a station, until you return or find another one in your travels, you cannot save the progress you have made on that journey until then. This adds a level of tension and is not intended to frustrate you.

A survey of thousands of peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals has found 97.1% agreed that climate change is caused by human activity.

So instead of Half Life 3 we continually get crap like this instead.

That would be because valve found it fun and interesting to do this trading card badge thing. Looking at TF2 you can get a sense of what other things they find fun and interesting, mostly involving hats.
