yes, I remember that. I remember the huge shitstorm that went with that too.
Re: Rumour: The next Xbox won't play used games
Well, I didn't buy the 360, and, if this is true, it looks like I won't be buying the next one either. I hope it's not true

So, publishers are unhappy selling the same copy of each game "just" once now?

Re: Rumour: The next Xbox won't play used games
I seriously doubt this is true. And if it is... then I've bought my last new Xbox.

Re: Rumour: The next Xbox won't play used games
Um, even if this is possible it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. What the hell would happen to the games that suck and nobody wants? They would be rendered useless and obsolete. I don't know, I wasn't planning on getting any kind of xbox ever but this is stupid not only because there's such a huge market for used games, but because like I said, it doesn't make sense. It doesn't seem at all practical.
But hey, if this does happen maybe Gamestop will start selling retro games.

Re: Rumour: The next Xbox won't play used games
Oh god don't even joke about that. The retro game market would become so expensive it would ruin everything. Plus with their shady policies on new games and what they throw out once it sits for too long, so many games would be ruined. I could see them trying to save space and throwing out any boxes when classic games come in but still charging a CIB price for the loose game...harper wrote:

The horror...

As opposed to now, where you can sell them to a used store for pennies on the dollar. I'm not really seeing much difference here.harper wrote:Um, even if this is possible it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. What the hell would happen to the games that suck and nobody wants?
