The rumors and rumblings about Xbox DRM have been going on for the past 3 years now. You still haven't explained to me what exactly is anti-consumer about the policies? So consumers would have had to pay a little bit more for certain new games instead of used, how is that anti-consumer? Gamestop wants an arm and a leg for used games anyway, so you may as well buy new. And Gamestop doesn't give you barely anything for your used games anyways. Microsoft was going to allow Gamestop to resell games, they just needed authorization from certain third party companies like EA to resell their games. The first party games like Halo and Gears would have been resellable and tradable with no problem. 

They're putting the power of the consumer's abilities to practice their consumer rights in the hands of the corporations. THAT is what is anti consumer about it.

So that's not Microsoft's fault, they just sell the consoles. The developers are responsible for their own games. If you had a business, i'm not gonna tell you how to run your business, it's your job to take care of it. I'm not gonna tell you what gets sold and what doesn't, and you take care of your own customers.
