Its maybe truth if you took what sony said about account binding it maybe possible sony will have a way to deal with it.

maybe you ill have to connect with your account at your friend house to play a game you bougth . like a key in the game maybe.

If AndyH has somewhat confirmed EDGE`s statement, than at least, there is a plan to stop used game sales.
Doesn`t mean it will happen, but things are pointing that way.
Well, that would be a great way to attract 3rd parties - but at the risk of keeping away gamers.

Realistically I don't think any company would be dumb enough to restrict the use of used games, ESPECIALLY after how violent the outcy has been online once it was announced. Granted, Microsoft HAS done some pretty terrible things with XBL Gold (holding back shit that other things give you free of charge), but I don't think they'd be dumb enough to do that.

I mean, what would be better? How would Microsoft OR Sony benefit from not allowing used games? the developers might be happier with them, but consumers won't buy as many games, not to mention sequels won't guarantee a return on investment or an improvement of sales, because Sequels rely on used or borrowed games to gain the user base.

Not to mention an 'always online DRM' deal would result in more broken Xbox's than the Red Ring of Death (think of all the temperamental 13 year olds who would flip out if their internet flickered while playing ranked Call of Duty).

Point being this has virtually NO chance of benefitting developer or publisher or hardware maker.

I think the only reason this rumor scares people is because there's been a war between gamers and developers the entirety of this generation to see who can screw the other over more. Piracy, DRM, locked DLC, entitled whiny shits boycotting....Gamers and developers aren't friends, they're enemies. Like business rivals doing all they can to screw one over the most efficiently, or an eternal game of cops and robbers.

It's really time for us to start to work together, which is why I try to support the devs that I respect, even if I don't play their games.

I saw some people said this means it's true because he didn't denial a non-exsit console rumors

Indeed it's so poorly put together and just slapped together any few bits and pieces they could which they thought would get some hits on the site basically, it's cheap but it works during these times I'm sure at least one person from here clicked the link to see the full article.

As soon as I read always online as part of the idea I just knew it was bs given that microsoft just released figures which suggest that just over 40million of their 360s are connected to Xboxlive in some shape so I don't think they would want to revert back to a system with around the same install base as the first Xbox by cutting out those who just want a games machine to play games. Rest of it's clearly for hits, it has 1000gbs of ram but to use the Ram developes have to sign a waver which means that all their family must serve under Windows 8 overlords til they produce offspring to replace them in their contract... any other buzzwords we can get in... oh yeah IT'S BETTER WITH KINECT2MALS!!!! zomg this writes itself.
