So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:

An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.

Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.

Like I was saying to Sean the other Day, Microsoft sends out these things to test people’s response to them… watch for the response to this

The Conservatives pounced. “We just saw him go, and we were like, alright, giddy up,” Ms. Rempel recalls.

Conservative MP Mike Wallace stood up suddenly on a point of order, and proposed Bill S-15 be fast-tracked. By the time Mr. Plamondon had returned, the unanimous consent motion had been passed.

“Unanimous consent isn’t like a vote, there’s no notice given. If you can pull a fast one, and you’re prepared to be ruthless and pull a fast one, you do it. That’s what they did,” Ms. May said.

Ms. Rempel, though, was celebrating the manoeuvre. “It was just old fashioned parliamentary procedure, and it worked,” she said.

Ms. May said she opposed the bill because it creates an “outrageous precedent” for industrial activity inside a national park. ExxonMobil holds rights to a gas field that includes the park, and the bill gives the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board continued regulatory authority within the park, requiring nothing more than token consultation with Parks Canada. The bill also allows low-impact seismic surveying and directional drilling, raising the prospect of a company drilling under the island from offshore.

Tories and Liberals; anything for a dollar. Can we have them investigated for this? Now, like in the near now?
