"Achievements are a particular focus area. They’re now detached from the client of the game in question, which means developers are at liberty to add achievements after release at set intervals, perhaps to reward the kind of playful abuse of the systems that leads to FIFA physics system bungles, or C4 trolling in Battlefield. This will give wayward players an incentive to go back to games six months after release, without the expense of releasing achievements via DLC."

Not being able to share games with friends/family on the Xbox One really bums me out.
Most of the games I’ve played were initially borrowed. In fact, most of the games that I now obsess over (and spend money on) were borrowed.
When someone says “OMG, you have to play this!” I don’t rush out and spend £40 on it. I play a demo where possible, I rent it (With Blockbuster gone, this is virtually impossible financially*) or I borrow it.
I am really happy with the announcement in general. The timing sucks though, I only bought the newest 360 just over a year ago and that cost me £300 at the time.
It is something that I really want but I’ll have to wait until I get some good money coming in before I can invest in a new one.
I also feel like I’ve barely scraped the surface of epic games to play on the 360 so I’ll spend the time in-between catching up and no doubt revisiting Fallout 3 before it is retired to the cupboard with the original Xbox games, which will no doubt be further retired to under the bed.
*Note- if someone really thinks that I should be playing the Xbox One by Christmas I will take donations and gifts. I bake fantastic cupcakes and will bake you a butt load. I’ll do all your housework!
