It looks like Microsoft are stealing our ideas again. Our consoles haven't been able to play used XBOX games for years

 

 


I'm not a fan of Kaz at all, but that is SO hilarious. Props! (EDIT: Oh... that twitter account is a parody. Nevermind.)

:(

 

OT: I hope Microsoft doesn't do this. These similar rumors keep popping up.... hopefully they're all just running off of each other and not off of a real source.

If that's true, then it'll be Wii U + PC next gen. I like my 360, but no used games? Not buying.


u will never lose like that....

This is a bullshit rumour, MS isn't that stupid.

No used games is really hard to believe.

I don't understand this. I don't buy used games, but I trade them in against a NEW purchase. The used game marking helps to fund my NEW purchase. On the topic of the 720, I don't think MS are this stupid , most likely they will take a leaf out of Sony's books and use online passes.

I understand why if true Microsoft/Developers would want this to happen However I don't believe that publishers can justify selling a full price game for $59.99 anymore, or at MSRP levels in other countries. They need to bring that price down. If you're going to restrict a customers product then the customer is going to be very cautious about buying it, and more often times then not pass on it.

I'm a huge Xbox fan.

But what Ive been hearing lately about the new Xbox sounds not very exciting. Big focus on motion control, weaker than PS4, and now all of this. Maybe its just false rumors but if this is indeed their strategy I dont see a particularly successful new generation for them.


What do you mean?...that´s a rumor I haven´t heard about.

I've heard about Kinect 2.0 being bundled with every console. If true, that sounds like a big focus to me.

Its not all or nothing....they built up a lot of studios in the last 2 years



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I bet everyone who bought an xbox 360 has reliable internet connection.........if u buy one wtf you expect?

Pretty shoddy article from the usually reliable Edge.

Agreed. This seems so wrong people! Online always? No used games? Yeah, doubt it.


Now they have another article, lots of people on gaf are worried because it seems Edge are really confident in the sources.

They´re usually very reliable, so either they lose a lot of credibility or there´s truth to this story, as surreal as it sounds.
