The stuff saying that you'll have to pay to use used games.

The always on connection.

etc.

There's plenty of stuff. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions if you're being ignorant to it all.

Even when the Director of Programming Larry Hyrb confirms used games isn't a possibility anymore unless you cough up the extra money.

Hey, you know what, he doesn't say that.

All he says is "today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail.

Beyond that, we have not confirmed any specific scenarios."

Hey, look, misinformation.

It's not misinformation because the both quotes come from the same source.

Larry Hyrb created and distributed both statements:
1) "Today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail".
and
2) "should you choose to play your game at your friend’s house, there is no fee to play that game while you are signed in to your profile".

If one source came from Larry Hyrb and another from a random source that isn't Larry Hyrb, then quotes may have been changed, changed context or edited slightly. But the point is, both statements come from the same source, meaning, it hasn't been edited/reported/misinterpreted by anyone else and therefore not misinformation.

An example of misinformation would be this:

"Trade and resell games at retail"

Who in their right mind would pay retail price for a used game?

The quote doesn't state anywhere about price but that used games will circulate via retail[in someway]. It could mean retail shops or retail price which would change the context of the statement...and which is why I haven't bothered to comment on it yet because we don't know the full story.
