If Microsoft did that I wouldn't buy their system on principle alone ...

there is no way in hell i am going to buy their system. can you believe what they are trying to pull? i always knew they were no good for the industry, they dont do anything but leech. in a way, i am glad they are doing this.

for me, its going to be no problem, because i am just going to stick with nintendo, so i am not going to have to deal with any of this crap. but for anyone else.. boy, are they going to have to learn the hard way. lol.

with any luck, this will put microsoft out of the industry for good. this is just plain evil.

Well there is the 3rd home console curse (Atari 5200, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, Sony PlayStation 3, etc.).

It is just Microsoft's turn to harm themselves. If Xbox^3 can't play used games then it would harm them severely; consumers would jump ship to the competition at an unprecedented speed (Since all game prices would be glaringly high without competition of a second hand market on the platform).

believe me, i have thought about that! hopefully microsoft will not escape that curse! really though, its theirs to lose. they have a lot going for them right now. but so did sony and nintendo, and look how that turned out lol.
