"Microsoft has reportedly changed its policies regarding Xbox One’s internet requirement, used game restrictions and more. Contrary to the details announced earlier this month, anonymous sources now tell Giant Bomb that Xbox One will no longer require an internet connection or need to check in every 24 hours; instead, internet will only be required when initially setting up the console.

Xbox One will allegedly also no longer restrict used games, and will instead allow discs to be exchanged in the same way they are on Xbox 360 with no additional restrictions for trade-ins or lending games to friends. The system is also said to no longer be region locked and all downloaded games will function the same way whether your console is connected or not.

Microsoft's decision follows mass confusion following the announcement of Xbox One in May. At E3 last week, Sony announced similar policies for PlayStation 4, which will not require an internet connection or periodic authentication and does not restrict used games.

IGN has reached out to Microsoft for confirmation and clarification and will update this article with any comment we receive."

figured they would recant their statements when everyone was saying how much bs it was.

It's about time the drugs they were on wore off.

They did change their policy but also just crippled other policies people wanted.

You are required to have the disc in the drive just like the current gen since they are allowing sharing of disc's.

It says you can no longer share the games digitally so that whole 10 family members sharing thing is now out the window.

But yes it is true - http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/update

Xbox one is still going to be crap, still im buying it .

Microcrap never listened to the players, they saw how bad pre orders were vs pre orders for PS4 and then stepped back on their mistake a lil and are hoping it brings up their sales now.

PS4 still on order and Xbox One... iffy

They listened just needed to listen better. People would have been fine with some changes but instead they just turned around and walked away.

Good to hear they have stopped with the stupidity.
TBH I haven't touched my 360 in over 6 months and have very little interest in any of the new consoles whatsoever

Hmmm... If this is the case, I will consider buying this Xbox Three (which is what it should really be called).

It sucks people can't handle change, I was looking forward to not having a disc in while playing my games. The family plan they had was actually a really great idea. But when people are complaining, change has to happen I guess.
