I have some questions about upgrading from Minecraft 360 edition to Xbox one edition. They said that if you own a copy of Minecraft Xbox 360 it would be cheaper. we would only have to pay a lower price for Minecraft on Xbox one. An upgrading fee if you will. But Xbox one does not have a download history list. so how would marketplace know if you already own Minecraft on Xbox? How would the Upgrading fee be applied? So basically how does this whole upgrading thing work? wouldn't you have to prove that you have downloaded Minecraft for the Xbox 360 in order to upgrade? Thank you for taking the time to read and possibly respond. Xbox for life. Keep it gaming.
Your account transfers to the Xbox One so it still knows everything you purchased and played on the Xbox 360. I've had the same account since like 2007 I think.
My assumption is that when you go to the marketplace to purchase the Xbox One Edition, it'll know you've purchased it before on the 360 and offer it for $5. Or Microsoft will send an email to you giving you a code or something that makes the Xbox One Edition $5 if you previously bought it.
Geneo is correct. When you have an Xbox Live account you have an account with Microsoft that has a unique ID; your gamertag (email really). That's how you're able to transfer content licenses from console to console. When you connect your gamertag to your new console, in this case an Xbox One, the console becomes registered to your gamertag. That's how Microsoft knows it's you. It's all pretty much cloud gaming now.
Edit: Actually, I think you need to register the console on xbox.com. It's been so long...
Yup, you have to register the device on the online services section of xbox.com.

Damn it, Mustache_Guy........... 90 seconds before me...
So when it comes down to purchasing a hard copy does anyone know how this will work because I did read that 4J was going to also try and apply the discount for hard copies as well but I hadn't heard any more details about it.

Yes, they stated that if you have 'played' it on the console you can get a discount if you use a disk. It just needs to be in your history of played games on the 360. They may change the definition later though.
