Guy 1: Hey bro! What have you been up to?
Guy 2: nothing. My X1 just broke..
Guy 1: really!? That sucks. What games do you have on it?
Guy 2: Grand Theft Auto Atlanta, Halo Condense, Final Fantasy 13-6 and Tales Of Runeldia.
Guy 1: OHHH BRO IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR TALES OF RUNELDIA EVERYWHERE!! let me borrow it, bro.
Guy 2: .. Its pointless. Its locked to my account. Its not like the old days when things were easy. Now we have to go through a bunch of wack ass loops just to play a damn game these days. Those 7th gen gamers really took that generation for granted. They had no idea what was coming. I miss the old days.


That's how it is going to be. I just know Sony has something like this too. I wish the wii u had more support because if Sony says they are doing the same thing wii u will be the only system I have for next gen. Luckily at least I love smash.

My god this is just sick.

Basically you don't own the rights to sell your game on your own anymore. You HAVE to trade in to Gamestop.

No wonder Gamestop said it was ok, they probably have some exclusive deal with this thing. Disgusting.
No way this is flying in Europe.

M$,EA,Gamestop Trinity of Greed.

And ms forces its own proprietary azure system on all gamestops.

its a browser based system.. you could access it from your phone browser.. they don't need to buy new hardware or something like that.. and since its MSs own registration system Gamestop would probably get free access..

And how do they get the reg. number off the disc?

1 - Buy 10 games.

2 - Install the 10 games. Disc isn't needed anymore to play them.

3 - Unplug your Xbox One from the internet forever.

4 - Go to Gamestop and sell your ten games to get some $$$ back.


But the games get wiped from your account when you sell them back.

The games are installed in the Xbox One's HDD.

When you sell them a game the "delete game X from profile Y in console Z" command is ordered, but it cannot reach your console until it goes online.

How are people here happy that we are now handcuffed to retail chains or the console manufacturer for the products we purchased?

Do gamers really care more about the developers than they do about their fellow gamer?


This industry is so backasswards all around that it isn't even funny...

I'm kind of in the boat of not caring. I understand peoples fraustrations but it all comes down to money. The who reselling and purchasing of used games is just an attempt to recoup money spent on the game in the first place. Many people compare this to the PC market, I just hope that publishers and MS/Sony, start matching those prices. Or at least coming close.

I myself was confused as to why people so happily supported the used market. Want a game for cheaper, wait a few weeks and pick it up for 40% of its RRP. http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/31434667/-/Product.html 

 

 


That's not our fault. These retailers are the ones banking on the used game market. They are the ones providing this extra pool of cash that devs arsn't seeing.

 

They need to go after retailers for that, not the fucking consumers.

I dont think they released every detail of this new system. Im pretty sure your going to have to uninstall the game before selling it. It has to be connected before you can sell it to gamestop. Something needs to be wiped from the account when you sell the game back.

Since your console has to go online once every 24 hours or the games do not work, that point is irrelevant, plugged in or not.

probably a code pressed on the disc.. or they could put it in a pc bluray drive and pc software will read it out MS will probably give those away when you are a partner to the program..

Like every freakin PC game you buy at the store, it will come with a code, printed on the manual or on a card in the box, there is no need to press a code on a disc or encode it somehow.

so i can sell used but only to those that MS deems worthy of being a reseller like (probably) gamestop. knowing MS policies to date this will probably be very strict with only a few "approved" resellers and i wouldn't put it past MS to make regional "exclusivity" agreement.

better than the rumors? yes, but just barely.
