Forums - Microsoft - Gamestop apparently doing all it can to push customers away from Xbox One.

Its obviously a poor choice for MS to limit what people do with thier games, I already preordered my xbox1 from MS, I'll get a PS4 day one too.

And the funny thing is I'll spend less this gen then last. PS3 $600, 360 $400.00.

As for GS they will make money on game sales and console sales, Where this will hurt MS is people wont pick up medocre titles and just pick a game out to try knowing they can trade it if its a bust.

So I believe Sony's attach rate will double MS, because achievement whores cant trade games theres no value to buying 100's of games that your stuck with forever.

I will only get what I want to play and keep there will be no medeocre game purchases for xbox1. Anything less then a 9 rating isnt on the purchase list.

Hell I have 100's of 360 games I havent played yet that could keep me busy too.

I also have 45 game as a plus member just sitting on my original ps3 60 gig with a upgraded 500 gig HD. 

I do believe I will buy more games or rent more on the PS4.

it's happening gif?



One of my local Gamestops had posters up telling people they could pre-order the PS4. None for the Xbox One. The guys who worked there said that MS was saving most of it's consoles for MS Stores anyways. But that they would still be selling Xbox One consoles and games.



I find it amusing though that some people use DRM as an excuse to hate X1 but are completely okay with DRM on PS4.

Yes it has DRM. Its up to 3rd parties if they want to use it but EA didn't design the PS4 and neither did any other 3rd party company so its inclusion in any form should be enough for people that are really against it to not back PS4 either but that simply isn't the case.

Notice how charges for Live are no lnger killing the industry now that Sony is doing it.

Look at this
"This DRM stuff cannot be allowed to stand," and yet their sig is of a console that contains DRM. The double standards are really hilarious and show that its mainly just an excuse to hate rather than an actual real issue that bothers the person

"If you buy a used disc from GameStop, you’ll have no problem popping that disc in and playing it from your PlayStation 4. The issue may arise when you try to jump online and play with other players. At that point, a third-party publisher may impose a fee or not allow that."

How many times does it need to be said before people understand this? What the PS4 has is in no way different from what the PS3/360 have RIGHT NOW.

Hurr hurr, "excuse to hate". Go educate yourself before you call people out.

Nothing personal. Only business.

2013 and 2014 are looking to be very interesting for gaming.



I hope Gamestop goes out of business ASAP. Offering $6 trade in on games they turn around and sell used for $40+. That place is a joke.

While that's a ripoff, what do you think of $60 game rentals from Microsoft?



It's no big deal if they are pushing the ps4 over xbone



VITA 32 GIG CARD.250 GIG SLIM & 160 GIG PHAT PS3

Gamestop didn't like the PSP GO either (no one did). Gamefly must be pissed. Microsoft just shat all over their business model.
