Did he let you down? Where are you seeing this?

be funnier if sony came out and said oh well we're releasing ahead of schedule...
also I'm doubtful of digital resale, but that would be awesome.... even still it wouldn't really be re-sale but downloading from the same host... :/

Me???



With all the changes in policy that has had, it would make me weird that come out before PS4. I'll wait until Microsoft make the official announcement.



Digital policies are a great idea...but no way will the system come out the same day as the PS4. Might have had to go down and check if it was the same in the UK.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Sticking with nov 5th



what he says about resell might be great.... but I'll believe it when I see it....

I have more faith in the power of the cloud (because it's already proven with other support than the console) than in such plan coming any time soon or being as great as it sound.... but you know what it's awesome if true.... and won't affect me if not, since I already planned to go DD and didn't expect to be able to sell them...

It would be great to resell digital games. But I remain skeptical. It's not really needed if the games lower their price after a while. Currently Bully: Scholarship Edition is under $5 on Xbox Live. It's hard to beat things like that.

And with CBOAT's latest track record I remain skeptical.

An interesting post over on Reddit about CBOAT:

1) He said PS4 will launch in October as a "truthfact,' meaning it's fact. False, middle and end of November for NA/EU.

2) He said there is no final indie solution, and that it will come post launch. False, we got a coherent self-publishing statement at Gamescom, taken into effect immediately; you can tweet or email ID@XBOX to get your independent game on Xbox One.

3) He said indie devs will be limited to 3GB RAM total. False, as said at Gamescom indies will get FULL access to Xbox One and all it's RAM/power.

4) He said indies on Xbox One will be published through the "windows store ghetto." False on multiple accounts.

5) He said PSN will have no paywall. False, it was announced you need to pay to play online with PS4 right after.

6) He said he saw an exclusive Prince of Persia for Xbox E3 conference. False, he got the desert from Halo mixed up with PoP, especially because Master Chief was wearing a poncho to hide his appearance from his enemies. He has since apologized, but this goes to show his position within Microsoft, not even knowing something as big and staple as Halo from PoP.

I've seen a few more things in another comprehensive list on NeoGAF, but this week alone drastically affected his percentage rate. Sure he's obviously a whistleblower within MS, but it's funny that he gets to be wrong so many times and have no repercussions on a site that was built on banning people even if wrong one time, all because he's leaked some info in the past. He's able to troll Xbox fans and call them "xbotz" or "xbottlez," and even say he enjoys their "tears."

The vast majority of his "leaks" never end up being proven and/or are extremely vague, and yet people (usually with agendas) take it as gospel. You can tell that over the years he became a disgruntled employee through his post history. Why only post negative info? He can say something like Gamescom announcement not being streamed because the hardware isn't ready, but not because its at 5AM EST? Not because there IS no conference, really? Even though there was tons of game play and UI navigation showed, and over 100 Xbox One consoles to be played by gamers there? Riiiight.

I wonder if he was leaked the wrong info on purpose and caught out. ;)

Really? Because from the looks of things is seem to be the PS fans more than anyone else.



So, can anyone tell me what would be the point in buying non-preowned digital version of a game ?
