It can only be attributable to human error.
xbox:skynet…its alivee
I’m wondering why this thread is still open when the report was proven false. There’s a general XBox thread.
Nothing was proven false. Just a lot of back paddling and flip flopping on Microsoft’s end.
i see a 360 thread i dont see an xbox one general thread. also a mod made this thread.
Because this is still garbage. Being forced to sell at Microsoft approved retailers? You thought the trade values versus resale prices was bad before, now there is no middleman-less option to compete with.
There is no reason Microsoft or any publishers should see money from second hand sales especially when it screws over the actual customer to this extent.
Game companies are so entitled these days, god damn.
That whole middleman complex just so they can get a piece of the action STILL puts them in muddled waters with the consumers. It means if I loan a disc out, my friends or whomever is screwed.
Right so if I came across a rare game and wanted to move it on EBay for a nice little profit I guess that’s out of the question.
Microsoft wouldn’t be doing it. They would be providing a means for the MPAA to do it. In other words, it would be akin to the arrangement colleges have with the RIAA and MPAA where the organizations can track the use of torrents to pirate copyrighted material through the college’s network.
I’d love to know what the percentages are?
we shouldn’t even be romotly suprised about this.
Regular gamers don’t give a fuck about this type of shit.
The more core genre is fucked. I don’t see video games crashing anytime soon.
The moment your hobby becomes profitable and big, expect shareholder mentallity to ruin it and fuck it up for the normal people.
Not too bad for the retailers? Read the next paragraph in the article:
Also, fuck MS trying to control the entire second hand market. People need to stand up to this.
Xbox one will hacked open like a pinata by expert modders
<<<Challenge accepted
I will be interested how Casuals don’t care that that they can’t hand their games to their friends. Or if they can shell out a 60 dollar bills like nothing when there no way to get the used game price for a cheaper rate. Or if they can truly prove that destroying the second hand market will grant a profit higher than the PS4/WiiU.
I mean Sony got FIFA so Sony can still edge the M$ in the sports game just because other countries would be more interested in soccer.
35 british pounds for a used game license. Do the math, and that equals about 55 bucks US or Canadian. I can get a brand new game for 60 bucks. So basically, people better be selling their used games for less than 5 dollars.
I can’t wait for XBone launch day. I will troll everybody sitting in line waiting to buy one.
This will most likely be the first generation of consoles since I’ve been old enough to shit in a toilet where I will just not buy anything and find a new hobby.
I stopped lending people my games when I was a teenager. Fuck that shit…thats how shit gets busted, lost, stolen. Fuck that.
Anyhow, I love all of this stuff. I want ps4 to drop some mega bomb of lameness and make people even more sad.
edit - I wasnt lookin’ forward to E3 or anything this year but im kinda hype for it now. Not for the games and shit or these new shitty consoles but for the tears of sadness and anger.
How will you troll them? I wish to borrow your plans
reminding them what they’re about to waste money on will likely work wonders.
