i just wonder, if we would have had an integrated ebay like store to sell and buy "used" games, would that have changed the opinion of people? i believe i read once that microsoft planned something like that and the used games market would have been great with that. developers would get a part of the fee and they could limit it to maybe 3 times or something like that to still get sales of new games.
so, let's say i sell bioshock inifinte in this store. you see that i am the first owner and you know you can resell it as well. you pay 35 bucks for it, i get 30 and the developers 5 (or something like that). then after a while, you sell it and the other people see you are already the second owner. they pay 25.....the last guy who will buy it knows he can't resell it. he will maybe only pay 10 but that is not so bad because the guy who sells it also had to pay less because it was already owned by few other gamers.
this would be only a small loss from sale to sale and wouldn't really hurt any gamer but would help developers. that option is still better as selling the game on gamestop where the difference between what you paid and what you get for this game is bigger or at least not smaller.
this option in combination with the games haring sounds awesome to me. well, yes 24h check would be still necessary but i think that there are really only a few percent who couldn't manage that. for them, xbox one would have been obviously no option.
