This is a good thing i think. buying 2nd games is not a right, its a privlage which is actually an exploit of the EULA.

nobody expects to be able to trade or buy used microsoft office 2007 or outdated pc software, so why does gaming deserve it, because we've been doing it for decades? doesn't make it right.

boo-hoo 2nd hand retailers will have to make less money now compared to the millions they make annually.
boo-hoo people who dropped $200 + on a console to play games will have to spend a little more on the games so the devs and publisher get their due money
BOO-HOO pirating wont be an option on the nextbox...

makes me incredibly glad we have so many people like you around here.

Boggles my mind that some people would actually care about the gamers and not the multibillion dollar corporations.

Many people are laid off in the video game industry every year and it's exactly because of the attitude of people like you who think that they aren't obligated to buy crappy games new and at full price.

Sadly, that is the attitude I sense when I read posts from people who support this type of garbage.

 

These same people don't realize that if stuff like online passes ever hit XBox you would have this kind of scenario.

Pay $45 for used copy.

Pay $60 to enable XBox Live Gold so you can play online. (That or you are already paying, point still stands)

Pay $10 for Online Pass to play used game on XBox Live, which you also paid for so you can get online.

 

I can get behind that...
