From GAF.

When asked about Xbox One's potential second-hand fee, Bartel said the information came "as a surprise" and declined to comment "on speculation."

"All that Microsoft has said so far is that they've designed the Xbox One to enable customers to trade in and resell games," Bartel said. "That's what I'm going with at this point. I think there's additional details they're going to reveal later on."

Good bye Gamestop... you will be dead soon.

Sadly that means, the Gamestop CEO and the board retires with big checks on their pockets, while the regular employees get fire all around the country...

I think the goal is to have users selling or trading games with each other. Perhaps there will be fees involved that go to publishers and MS.

Ultimately, its clear the goal is to kill the used game market.
