nope. I refuse to buy a console that doesnt allow used games. That is over a generation probably about $2000 loss to me


It does allow used games.

its up to the publisher to implement if they want to block or not.

all 1st party MS games will support trade ins and pre owned.

you would think we would be passed this by now.

No, we can't get past it.  Microsoft is pure evil now, don't you understand?  We must defeat them at any cost, even if that means spreading around info that isn't true.  This is a moral issue.  Ownership of games is sacred and DRM must be defeated...unless it's Steam, they apparently get a pass on violating our consumer rights, because sales.  Gabe Newell must remain the savior of the games industry, next to (Kaz/Reggie/insert favorite non-Microsoft exec here), of course.

Seriously though, if people think that the console won't play used games, they'll figure out the truth pretty quick when they walk into Gamestop and, whaddaya know?  There are used X1 games on the shelves.

Gamestop?  But what about mom and pop shop down the street (that I never ever have shopped at, but I digress)???  MS has cut them out completely!  'Participating retailers' means ONLY Gamestop clearly!  

And that does nothing about the mandatory check in every 24 hours!  What if ... [thinking] ... what if a tornado hits and my internet is out for weeks???  How am I supposed to be able to play my games in the rubble that was once my neighborhood???  How is online going to help me then???  [technically could sign in on another X1 and play my full game still ...]  I don't want to hear about how my connection is never, even down for more than 24 hours or how I've logged into XBL every time I've played a game for the last 7 years, it's about the principle!

OT:  Ok, I better chill before I go where I've never gone before and tempt moderation.  If I had the money and the time to game like I did in my younger, more frivolous years, screw the hate and have all 3 including the Wii U.  Alas I'm trying to justify even getting one of these.  I need more convincing next gen gameplay experiences before I can commit.  But I'd love to have all 3 and just sit back and smile like I did with the Xbox/PS2/Dreamcast/Gamecube/PC ...
