I liked it over all, I just had a problem with the used game fee. So other than that I'm still thinking about getting the Xbox 1 but I'm waiting until E3. |
I've been meaning to ask people this without a thread so i want to ask you since I've always looked at you being a reasonable guy. But why is it that you care about this fee? Shouldn't the money go to the publisher/developer rather than retailers like gamestop getting 100% of the money? Isn't that kind of jipping the people who made the game? It has been no secret that ive never supported used games, but the way this works you are still allowed to resell your games. So what exactly don't you like about it? Say you buy a game at 60 dollars and beat the game. You can resell it to a retailer for let's say $30. You still saved $30. The only difference is that now the developer/publisher gets money when used games gets bought rather than the retailer taking 100% of the money. This is a win for people who buy games and like to resell them, retailers, and the developers.
By the way this is a real question.

I don't buy used games that often my only problem is that I use rentals a lot from gamefly. So am I going to have to pay a fee to rent a game? Don't get me wrong I buy plenty of games new but I have limited funds that can't be spent on every game new that I want to play.

I also use gamefly, however they have to pay for licensing. MSFT already said they have been working with retailers so rental stores may get special copies of games to rent out. We will have to wait for that though. I am also interested to see how that goes.

what if I want to lend my game to a friend? This special copy thing won't work here and it will definitely be a deal breaker with many people who exchange games. Especially people still in school(from grade 3 to university) which is a large chunk of MS's audience.
