"Xbox One will apparently require users to pay a fee to play second-hand games on the console. Speaking with Wired, a Microsoft representative said that all Xbox One games will be installed to the system&amp;#039;s hard drive to be played without the disc inside the system.  The game disc is then registered to a user&amp;#039;s Xbox Live account, tying that copy of the game to a single user. Microsoft added that a second user could still install the game from a second-hand disc, but there would be an activation fee to install and register the game to an additional Xbox Live account. Microsoft also confirmed to The Verge that Xbox One will not be backwards compatible with Xbox 360 games. &amp;quot;The system is based on a different core architecture, so back-compat doesn&amp;#039;t really work from that perspective,&amp;quot; Microsoft Xbox Live vice president Marc Whitten said. However, Microsoft&amp;#039;s Larry Hryb later said that no specifics around fees for used games have yet been confirmed.  Writing on his Major Nelson blog, he said: &amp;quot;While there have been many potential scenarios discussed, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail.  &amp;quot;Beyond that, we have not confirmed any specific scenarios.&amp;quot;  Hryb also said that if users choose to play their game at a friend&amp;#039;s house, there will be no fee as long as they are signed into their Xbox Live account. Announced earlier today (May 21), Xbox One - described as an all-in-one &amp;quot;ultimate home entertainment system&amp;quot; - will be launched later this year. Microsoft has confirmed that while Xbox One won&amp;#039;t require an always-on connection. Xbox One will see 15 exclusive games launch in its first year, including Forza Motorsport 5 on day one. Exclusive partnerships with EA and Activision have also been announced, with exclusive content for FIFA 14 and Call of Duty: Ghosts. &amp;gt; Pre-order your Xbox One now from the Digital Spy Store "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
