I never lend games out to my friends. At least not in the last 10 years. If my grown ass friend wanna borrow my my game I'll tell him to buy it. Stop with the fake outrage
You're in the minority though. Alot of people lend/borrow games.

This is a legit issue because there's a big history in gaming with this practice.

And if they did a study on it they'd probably find out that it probably helps sells cause it opens people up to new things.

Fake outrage is worrying about that Kinect always connected shyt :laugh:

nikkas is delusional if you think something similar won't emerge for the PS4

Unfortunately this is probably true. Publishers want to squash used game sales.

Still, after this debacle, Sony will soften the blow and 'sell' this much better than Microsoft.

GameStop still sells new games and systems. Of course they would still be excited. Plus that's PR talk, what else were they supposed to say?

but some one that has a poor internet connection could go this route if the game is out of stock. Buying a code that unlocks the used game would be a decent choice compared to not being able to be played at all I guess:yeshrug:.

the price of the used discs at some point will adjust to this. I know when I sell games on eBay I adjust my sell price if I used the online pass.

Maybe they will do like Sony does with their digital games and have them at a slight discount price online.

There are plenty of ways it can be implemented. I'm just addressing the info in these two articles. One says the activation code will be FULL RETAIL the other says used games can be sold/traded. You can't make consumers pay for an item twice. That shyts probably against the law.

some people do sell PC games without the key. they have to tell you tho...or at least its nice to tell you that. and the price is usually significantly less(for example if you try to buy Diablo 3 on eBay you can get it for $4.99 without the key). Obviously thats eBay tho but they have their own policies.

maybe that will be the new policy change for GameStop?

When asked about Xbox One's potential second-hand fee, Bartel said the information came "as a surprise" and declined to comment "on speculation."

"All that Microsoft has said so far is that they've designed the Xbox One to enable customers to trade in and resell games," Bartel said. "That's what I'm going with at this point. I think there's additional details they're going to reveal later on."

No, not just like retail steam.


Considering Steam is 100% Digital downloads, how is this like Steam, when you're buying a physical disc for the Xbox one? Is Xbox Live going to offer new games at $29.99 like Steam as well?

we'll find out wont we, we will also find out about selling our keys at a price. most likely can sell digital downloads as well.

Why not just build a PC and call it a day for all this bullshyt...I swear console gaming is fukkin up its appeal by blurring the lines as much as they've been doin and tryna do...
