Could Microsoft Redeem Their "No Used Games" Blunder With This Idea?

[ThaBronxBully]

Now To Get This Out The Way Let Me State That I Am XBOX All The Way, From Day One Of The FIRST XBOX Till Now, Never Owned A Playstation, And I've Been Completely HAPPY In My Experience With Microsoft

With That Said

What The fukk Am I Gonna Do With XBOX Games I Beat? They're Useless Now

People Are Gonna Either Pay Full Or Sale Price For A Brand New, Sealed, Unopened Game Or Download It Off XBOX Live, Our Games Are Now Useless After We're Done With Them, Yeah I Hardly Buy Used Games, But I DO Sell Games And Use That Cash For NEW Games

Here Are The Only Redeemable Factors I Can Think Of

1. New Releases Should Be Available For Download, In The Marketplace, ON GAME DAY, As Soon As It Hits Midnight

2. Downloaded Games Should Be $15-$20 Cheaper Then Their Physical Counter Parts, If You Want To Own A Physical Disc So You Can Have A Pretty Looking Collection, Or You Want A "Special Edition" Toy And Artwork To Go With It That's On You. If Physical Games Are $60 Then NEW Downloadable Games Should Be $40-$45 On Release Date

3. The Option To "Share" Your Download For Credit. Ok Lets Say I Buy A Downloadable Game For $40-45 Bucks And Beat It, It Takes MS Damn Near 2 Years To Lower The Price In The Marketplace. Instead Of My Friend Waiting For A Sale And Buying It In The Marketplace, He Pays A Smaller Fee To DL It From Me (Think Of It As An "Early Sale Price"). He Pays Cheaper For The Game, I Get A CREDIT That I Can Build To Eventually Use Toward Whatever Purchases I Want, And Microsoft Gets The Money That My Friend Paid For The DL, Everybody Wins. It's Basically Like A Virtual Gamestop, Only Now Microsoft Gets Their Piece.

To ME This Would Be Worth It

I Ask BOTH XBOX And PS Heads To Put Their Lame Ass Biases Aside And Tell Me What They Think Of This Idea.

MS is still sorting the "details" of their drm system and used games. With this huge backlash hopefully cooler heads will prevail. MS is not charging a fee for used games, So you can still sell your used game to gamestop etc, for credit or money.

And Whos Gonna Buy That Used Game?

 

[Doctor Wily]

sounds like an excellent idea & it should be pushed.

this alone would convince me to purchase a Xboxuno.

Alright, some clarity needs to be brought to this topic cuz it's getting ridiculous.

YOU CAN RESELL AND TRADE IN YOUR XBOX ONE GAMES. It clearly states this in the official article from last Thursday. It's just that now you're only option is to resell or trade-in at participating retailers (most stores now). This kills the ebay/craigslist hustle, hence why you see outrage. But of course we have stans with agendas piggy-backing the genuine cries to make it seem like the end of the world.

In addition, BUYING used games hasn't even been discussed. Literally zero details from Microsoft. It's anybody's guess when it comes to that. A far cry from "no used games" at this point.

They can change a lot of stuff about their console but the one thing they probably can't change very much is how they're implementing their DRM. Maybe there are some details we don't know yet but I think the spec they have now is pretty much what we'll see from them in regard to DRM for the next 5 years.

They have addressed it and there will be no fee for buying used games.

Is It Up To XBOX Or The Game Publisher?

Can This Change On A Game To Game Basis?

They haven't addressed shyt. They've hidden their policies for now because they're afraid of more intense backlash.

That Can Be A Good Thing Or A Bad Thing, They Better Smarten Up

They should be able to kill off those services I would think. Depends on how stubborn Microsoft is

Wow.

Please send this to MSFT. Great idea especially the discoutn on gameday for the digital copy.

Had they dropped that point alone during the conference, that would have crushed the building.

well there is used games, but they could just allow you to go off line for an extended period of time if you turn off your gamesharing abilities. I think that would be the best of both worlds IMO. I like the abilty to bring my account anywhere as well as lending my games accross the country for those who don't they can just stay offline.

More than likely it'll be up to the publisher. My biggest beef with ms is the online checkin and kinect since I could not care less for it. I guess now, after sony pulled the rug from under them, they will go back and do some things differently. I saw earlier too, that sony didnt decide on a system price until after microsoft revealed theirs. So sony allowed ms to make all the mistakes then came in after to clean up. No doubt we'll see some changes from microsoft even though gamewise they did excellent imo.
