Microsoft says you can turn your Xbox discs into digital licenses for free so I bought a stack of used games and found out how many actually work.

Sony MADE the cd, then KILLED the cd
Would have been nice if you tested what happens when that digital licence is then claimed by somebody else. Sure, this all looks great now but this is just the soft approach to Sony's hard stance. No doubt in my mind, there will come a day when that digital licence kills your disc altogether. There is no future world where Microsoft wants you to be able to own a digital licence and the physical disc of that one game. This will inevitably kill the second hand market and we will all be forced to purchase games that would have been $5 in a gamestop for $20+ through their digital store.
Do you have to complete the download to be able to claim it ?
NO DISC DRIVE I AIN’T BUYING NEXT GEN CONSOLE FK THAT DONE WITH XBOX 🖕🖕🖕🖕
The Next Xbox will play all Xbox games from original to Now. Thats how they will stay alive in this console war
Digital licences can also be revoked later. This isn't a win
I don't understand why people are liking this disc-to-digital thing…Isn't that just one more way to get rid of physical discs?
I dont think people have realized how much storage has gone up the last 12 months…if you think you can afford all digital gaming, you will be sadly mistaken when the time comes. Just getting a 2TB drive for a PS5 will run you the price of the console itself.
6:02 See, this moment when you test if you get a digital licence for Forza Horizon 3… That's where I have a bad feeling about this feature…
Alright, let say I get all the digital licences I can using all my physical copies. And I move on to.the next generation of console, fully digital with no disc player. And then, Microsoft, or any editor, decided to remove games from the online store. I might lose access to those games, with no solution to play them anymore…
I don't know, everyone is ecstatic about this disc-to-digital licence feature, but I feel it to be a Trojan Horse to convince us now to stay in the Xbox ecosystem, and trap us later…
so if you activate a Series X game on the xbox one, it makes sense that you couldn't play the disk but can you play the digital version of it?
is it possible to send an xbox one disc game to a xbox series s ?
(I want to play mincraft xbox one edition on series s, I have the disc for the xbox one s)
Can't believe I'm considering an Xbox after so many years with PS since PS3.
This is good; I have a Series S, and I plan to buy cheaper second-hand Series X/S or One games just to activate them on my older Xbox One so I do not have to put up with the digital hell of pricing on my Series S.
PC GAMING will be the only option
now can someone else take those same disks and make their own license after you
It don’t work you lying
This feels like a sneaky way to actually completely kill your physical media long term. Because if these servers go down that tie the disc to the "free digital copy" now those discs associated with this method are now just trash. This is 100% a trap to actually kill off your old physical media.
I havent bought a console since my xbox 360 – give me Xbox Play Anywhere so I can play OG/360/other xbox games on my pc!
Ubisoft works now peoole are reporting
Ima have to spend $200 and buy stuff on the old PS3 store while I still can…
3:07 Wut if its delisted after digitizing? Will my digital copy be affected “due to licensing issues”
PlayStation doesn't need to make so many physical copies. If the demand increases then make more.
That's why Indie games is the Future. Check out "Square Shootout" a game developed by broke devs with a tone of passion. A game for the holidays
Xbox just KO'd PS with this method.
Old xbox with drive.
Login and do the thing.
They work on Series s?
20 years and Xbox 360 still hits different! Just unboxed a MINI Xbox 360 that plays Minecraft on MINI TV, childhood is back!
I am done with PlayStation. When you tell me that I dont own the thing I bought.. then Piracy is no longer stealing
This isn't good enough. It seems the only way forward with this is emulation which is far superior then any of these efforts.
Does marvel ultimate alliance work???
Need a third gaming console platform to shake things up
This was mostly exactly how it was going to work, oddly. It was up to the publisher to support it or not… and you could toss either the physical disc or transfer the license temporarily to a friend to play. So in a way this is more restrictive than what the FAQs and interviews post E3 announcement indicated.
They just really, really fu**ed up the communications on it. This is the reason this system works; it was built into the last 2 gens of consoles… just not the first pressed discs (because of blowback). They would be really boss if it was like Steam where the entitlement wasn't related to stupid things like rights and publisher saying OK. If you can authenticate the disc because you physically have it in your drive, its always good. Cant authenticate the disc because of no network connection? Then offline local only for you.
the fact you cant do this with og xbox or 360 games is an epic fail.
Feeling grateful that physical is dead 🥰🥰
Why do YOU need to test it? Just let everybody do it.
no titanfall, no care
why I play with old 360 Xbox with bad avatar mod
Xbox 15hrs a month for unlimited cloud 😂
Well, it's a good thing I didn't get rid of my Xbox, one and this is for all xbox xbox one games this is not bad
Your next video needs to cover the supposed supply chain crash to where Xbox does not have enough disc players to put into their next generation😅
My understanding is that this can't be done on playstation. The unique serial numbers encoded on xbox discs are a relic of the original DRM from the launch xbox one that persisted into the current gen. Ironically, Sony's focus on being consumer friendly when the PS4 launched could very well be the reason they can't match Microsoft's consumer friendly move here.
You can't upgrade GTA V only the digital copy has Xbox Series X compatibility. I checked 😅.
