Think of it like a new game!!  LOL



Oh my goodness wtf is going on? Are all the MS execs are double crossing the company or have they gone completely insane?

This day just gets crazier and crazier.



 

And he is not talking about used games in that part btw

"The Xbox exec wouldn't give further details on how this system will work, but we're assuming that once you're done with a game, you can trade the code online and it will be erased from your machine. But what will you get? Other games? Microsoft Points?"

This one is about used games



No way in hell this is happening :D come on you're not serious are you? It's fabricated I'm sure.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Goddamn, this keeps getting worse and worse.



The only good think out of this is that hopefully, this is the beginning of the end of GameStop...... :/



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.                            

 By: Suke

"But that doesn't mean used games are dead. In fact, Harrison told us, you'll be able to sell your Xbox One games online."

Or.. you could just scrap the whole thing and start from square one. No-one wants overcomplicated game sharing policies or offline game passes.

What the fuck are you doing Microsoft.

after that both have the game as the full game is installed on the systems and can be played without the disc, so it is a full new game

the more interesting part is the used selling method (which they seem not to be ready to announce), as that might make it possible to lend out a game

I have a bad, bad feeling they're not going to do this in exactly the same way but will let third parties institute some kind of always online requirement. They already do on PS3, but so far I think only Capcom has taken advantage of it. Thanks to MS and EA, I can't imagine they'll be the only ones doing it next generation.
