Another thing to consider is Steam/PC gaming. While Steam has 40+ million users you have to wonder how many of them buy $50 titles at launch on Steam.

I think developers are in for a rude awakening if they think digital only/no used copies is a good thing. Sales won't increase much at all, because a pirate will still find a way around to getting the game.

I buy 80% of my games new and when they are usually discounted (So far KOF13, SF X Tekken, Halo 4, Borderlands 2 and Mass Effect 3 will be the only games I buy at release from this and last year) , but those 20% I buy used are because they are drastically cheaper. When you throw in a gamer pass for $20 or so my gaming collection will most likely drop, and the developers will also not see a dime from me DLC wise. Why is they always forget that they make money on DLC? Saints Row 3 has a lot of DLC already, and they will lose out on a few dollars there alone if no one can buy a pre-owned copy and do some DLC.

DRM at it's finest.

This is the devils wish.

With Microsoft's business model and the way the industry has changed since they've arrived this wouldnt be too far fetched of a position.

i can't wait to never be able to get a game below £20! TAKE MY MONEY

what if your xbox breaks and you buy a new one? will the game still work correctly?

if it is linked to an xbox live account and you don't have one how will it work then? if someone signs in with their account on another xbox (ie a mates) would the game work then?

I wish for MS to do this! please do this!! .. so everyone will see what happens to your games division.
