Xbox One and Used Games

We know there is some confusion around used games on Xbox One and wanted to provide a bit of clarification on exactly what we’ve confirmed today. While there have been many potential scenarios discussed, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail.

Beyond that, we have not confirmed any specific scenarios.

Another piece of clarification around playing games at a friend’s house – should you choose to play your game at your friend’s house, there is no fee to play that game while you are signed in to your profile.

Just found this :



No used games confirmed. GameStop doomed. Such a madness in order to kill piracy. Every day online + no used games, 3 GB RAM for OS, I cant belevie they bury Xbox One right now.

Who uses their account on a friends system? I know I don't trust my friends that way.

The whole point of lending games is to play it for yourself and get your own achievements/trophies. Microsoft knows this, I'm sure they have the data.

Still sounds like no used games. And I just read that live tv on xbox one will require an additional "supported receiver device with HDMI output" sold separately.

Things aren't looking good for MS right now. This blocking used games made me totally change my mind on the system. I have 2 360's at home and often go back and forth between them. I don't want to have to pay a fee to do that or have to keep moving the system back and forth.



maybe the reason why gamestop is happy is because they will allow you to sell the code to them over live and put the money onto your account.

so buy halo 4 put in code, months later trade in code over live for a price or discount and buy something else.

Surely even the most diehard Xbox fans are getting frustrated with all this?

What a complete meltdown, they are just twisting, spinning, and lying about this news but at the same time confriming it.....

They are done for if they go down this path. Its like they are trying to sell us crap on a stick.

And this is the only bad thing about this console, everthing else is fine. Just do us all a favor MS and allow used games without a fee. 

 

This is equal to PS3 $599. Become over cofident and screw up, works all the time.
