I saved $499USD plus postage by deciding not to buy it. That's a positive thing, right?

Family sharing thing sounds promising.
Reminds me of similar functionality for Zune.
...which nobody uses because nobody buys those fucking things.
What exactly is stopping you from sharing your disc with your family right now? There's nothing positive about a 10 person limit being added.
Apparently you have no idea about how it works.
What you do is add ten people to your family list, these can be anyone, friends, brother, parents ect. Anyone, they dont even need to live near you.
From there any game you buy and attach to your account is loaded into a pool, anyone on your list no matter how far away can look at your games and install one of them on their xbox and play it so long as you arent playing it at the same time.
This allows friends and family members to build up a large library together, or for a friend who has a good paying job and can afford to buy games brand new can help our a less fortunate friend as he cvan go through the more fortunate ones library and play games he couldnt pick up himself.
Personally this is the feature that excites me the most. Even if the Xbone fails spectacularly I would love to see this kind of feature implemented on PC and other consoles.
