I would have sticked with my WiiU and my PC!

LOL! This is too funny. PC has killed off used games entirely.

The fact of the matter was that you would still be able to trade in your games and everything.

Huh? Last time I checked I had no problem playing my used copy of Rayman Origins on my PC..

I dont really buy used games so......it wont effect me.

The only time I go used are when its a rare retro game or its an old current gen game for a really really good deal (which is rare) most of the time I know what I want because im pretty selective. I havent really been dissapointed with about 90% of my video game purchases 7th gen. Also if its a dev or game series Im a fan of I have to support the devs. Gamers like to $ hit on them or do the opposite and be fanboys but I just put my money were my mouth is.

My only problem with the move was that it restricted games to online only. I'm fine with banning used game resales, but online only is total bullshit. Steam doesn't have online only, so why should the consoles?
