Keeping Your E-Ego Intact: Your Xbox Gamerscore and Avatar Can be Ported to Xbox One
Huzzah! You'll be able to keep your gamerscore.
However exciting the Xbox One reveal was, the new console isn't all sunshine and unicorns. Recent reports reveal that the Xbox One won't be backwards compatible (understandable in light of the fact that the One's architecture will be completely different from the Xbox 360's) and that the One will require an additional installation fee for every new account for a game.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel, at least for gamers who obsess over achievements and Gamerscore. Microsoft has confirmed that Gamerscores will be ported over to the One, along with Gamertags and avatars.
"Your hard-earned Gamerscore will port over, so yes you'll take that with you," stated Xbox UK marketing director Harvey Eagle, "You'll also take your Gamertag, your identity with you. Whilst we're making a much bigger bet on natural identity with the camera, Avatars will also feature as well. All of the gaming identity that you have on Xbox 360 will be there on Xbox One as well."
So while you can't take your XBLA downloads with you over to the One, at least you'll be able to keep your ego intact with the points you've racked up with your time on the 360.

Assuming I understand that correct the used game market for Xbox is dead? Since if you buy a used game you will have to pay for it then pay a fee to unlock it on your Xbox One. I think some other company tried something like this where you had to pay to unlock online multi player and it bite them in the butt. Seriously whats gotten into company's use to it was make a profit while giving great service... Now its just make a huge profit screw service. Who cares if we lose a customer there will be another uniformed sap to take there place.
Now you're telling me that If I want my kids' stuff to be kept separate so they don't accidentally overwrite my saved games, I have to pay an additional fee?
FFS Microsoft, cut the nickel and dime bull$#!t. In less than 24 hours I've gone from excited as hell about the new xbox to deciding whether I want a PS4 or a GTX770....
As for charging a fee for every new account used for a game disc, there goes the Xbox game rental market.
I have a feeling Microsoft wants to get out of the console business all together. I have been a loyal Xbox consumer since day one. I bought the first Xbox the first year it came out, and I have bought three Xbox 360s. One of those 360s was to replace a broken one. This will be it for me though. I won't tolerate this draconian gaming model any longer. A new PlayStation it is then.
Actually, a lot of people care about this. Trueachievements has about 200k members and thats just one site for xbox achievements.
I know its not just me, but being required to run a camera attached to a DVR device that has internet access to use my Xbox is complete BS. This alone is enough to send me to the PS4 camp.
Whoa, wait a minute there. I haven't been following the xbox news too closely, but are they seriously saying that if you have different people using different accounts on the same system that they will have to pay more money to play the same games? That is crazy. So if you are a family with a few gamers, they will all either need to use the same username or pay for each user for each game. I must be misunderstanding because that would be fu*king retarded.

If you have 5 people playing on 1 xbox, you're good. If you have multiple xboxes...SoL.
