Report: No fee to play used Xbox One games, Skype powers voice chat
Polygon's sources note that used game sales will continue, as Xbox One game ownership is determined by an on-disc encryption code. Once a game has been sold, traded, or otherwise activated by another console, access to the previous owner's installed content is revoked and transferred to its new owner.
Microsoft's Major Nelson addressed recent speculation regarding the upcoming console's ability to play used games in a statement released earlier today. "Xbox One is designed to support the trade in and resale of games," Major Nelson said. "Reports about our policies for trade in and resale are inaccurate and incomplete. We will disclose more information in the near future."
Polygon additionally reports that Xbox One voice chat and party chat will be powered by Skype, according to an unnamed Microsoft representative. Recent rumors suggest that Skype will also enable remote play sessions.
"Skype technologies are used in Xbox One which improves voice quality during multiplayer game sessions," Microsoft's representative wrote in a statement to Polygon. "Skype can also be used to call any of your Skype contacts for voice or video chat exclusively or while playing a game. Additionally, we have improved the Kinect hardware, from microphone configuration to dedicated audio processing, which contributes to providing a high-quality voice experience whether you are chatting in a game or through Skype."

So you still cannot bring a game to a friends house and play on his/her console. I would not hold my breath either as it's not confirmed.

CheeseStuffedPizzaReverence What do they mean by, "Once a game has been sold, traded, or otherwise activated by another console, access to the previous owner's installed content is revoked and transferred to its new owner."
So if there was a game that came with in game dlc on the disk, it will delete the previous owners and it will download to the new owner.
that's still pretty stupid basically I can't borrow a game?

no actually it means that once you put a game in another console it will no longer work on your previous console you played that disk on,
i.e; I lend you my mw2 disk because you wanna play it,
once you download it to your xbox, it will then transfer all the license to your console. Causing my mw2 on my xbox to no longer have the license not allowing it to play until i reinstall the disk
