Yea, get your poor asses out of this rich man's xbox forum! What do you think this is? A forum for finding good deals? Retail or GTFO!
buying a 50 doller used game is not being a CAG lol
so let me get this right people don't want o support anti consumer xbox one but will gladly walk into gamestop buy a used game for 50 bucks when they only give person 20 dollers for that game. plz tell me out that right their is not anti consumer
Games don't cost solely $50 used and $60 new, and Gamestop isn't your only option. I'm an Amazon seller, I sell mostly movies, games, and occasionally books I buy from mostly thrifts and pawns. Say what you will about that, but I make crap at my day job and it's a fun way for me to make extra cash on the side, and fund my gaming habit, as well as paying for my wife and I to go on trips, etc. This isn't going to hurt GS, as they'll be one of the only places that will be allowed to trade-in your games. It DOES, however, hurt small-time sellers like me, mom-and-pop and independent game stores that can't afford or aren't allowed to buy a MS trade-in system (which by the way, will not even be ready for retailers at launch), and last but not least the consumer. According to your logic, since GS's terrible terrible trade-in values are anti-consumer, the XBone is doubly ant-consumer, since you can't sell your games AND have to accept whatever GS offers you. Trade-in values are also going to go nowhere but down since they won't need to compete with Amazon sellers, Craigslist, eBay etc.
um they kind of do with allowing publishers to put any kind of drm or restriction they want lol. pretty much if a company want to charge a giant fee to unlock a game they could. sony kind of did all this in a sneaky way with talking all good at press conf then after it was done it call came out that publisher could do anything they wanted to their game
False. The only DRM of any kind allowed on the PS4 will be online passes just like we have now. It was stated that no "full game unlock" kind of thing would be allowed beyond blocking the online multiplayer aspect of a game.
