Forums - Gaming - Next Xbox to block used games...No rumor

 

MCV India spoke with Eidos' life president Ian Livingstone about the possibility of a digital-only gaming landscape. First, he addressed the plain fact that broadband Internet hasn't yet reached an install base high enough to justify getting rid of disc-based media wholesale. Then things got interesting.

“With the next Xbox, you supposedly have to have an internet connection, and the discs are watermarked, whereby once played on one console it won’t play on another," Livingston said. "So I think the generation after that will be digital-only.”

Yes! Finally it's been confirmed, by using words like "supposedly" no less.

Nextbox lost.


Well, either he´s just joining the talk about the rumor...or 'supposedly' is just a nice way of him not breaking any NDAs.



Congratulation. You just made ANOTHER thread (about the fifth) with the same message (whose content IS a rumour)

Hey, You're not a mod.

If it weren't for you it might have worked.  I saw his post and left without even trying to post cause was like "oh it's locked"

Wasn't going to add anything productive.  basically going to say there are like 10 other threads about this already and love how "supposedly" form a third party equals confirmation.
