 It would also mean borrowing a game from a friend will require a payment to play, possibly the full price. Torch and pitch fork time!. |

If a game is sold then that should be between the person that bought the game and the person they sell it to, MicroShaft have already had their cut.

I can see all these issues disappearing pretty quickly when the ONE doesn't sell... M$ are shooting their feet off and sticking them in their mouth with every new quote they utter. A shambles of a launch methinks. |

To win this round, Sony just need to do the same as Nintendo and say "We will not in any way prevent you from trading your games once you have bought them" Used games do indeed drive new game sales, so even if the original publishers dont usually see a second profit (I know of at least one online trade site that attempts to pay royalties to the original publishers) from used games, they benefit from peoples money being freed up to spend on new games they would otherwise not buy. As a classic game fan, I really hope this stupid idea fails and drops Microsoft down a peg or two in the process or gone will be the days of buying a handfull of games from a carboot/yard sale in the future. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Fact sourced from Microsoft themselves: Less than half of all X360's purchased have EVER been online. Fact #2: XbONE is required to be online. Conclusion: Microsoft intend to sell less than half as many XbONE as X360. Apparently, they are in the business of driving customers away. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.
