Used games blocked?

Quote :

Microsoft has confirmed that all Xbox One games will require mandatory installation onto the system's hard drive and, to install the same disc onto another user's drive, a fee must be paid.

Individual games will be tied to Xbox Live accounts, Microsoft said, meaning that the software giant can detect whether a game has been sold to a retailer and repurchased, or handed from one friend to another. In such instances, the second user must pay a fee.

No wonder EA is all over Microsoft's dick.

Want to lend a game to a friend? He gotta pay and he gotta have an internet connection, wanna let your bro play on your console on his account? He gotta pay. Wanna play your games when MS turn the servers off? You can't.

......

That's fucking ridiculous and is indefensible. All this news about the Xbox should be hyping us up but instead its just making us more cynical to this shit.

But what if you want to bring a game disc to a friend's house and play there? You'll have to pay a fee—and not just some sort of activation fee, but the actual price of that game—in order to use a game's code on a friend's account. Think of it like a new game, Harrison says.

"The bits that are on that disc, you can give it to your friend and they can install it on an Xbox One," he said. "They would then have to purchase the right to play that game through Xbox Live."

"They would be paying the same price we paid, or less?" we asked.

"Let’s assume it’s a new game, so the answer is yes, it will be the same price," Harrison said.

CONFIRMED!! If you want to bring a game over to a friends house, YOU HAVE TO RE BUY THE GAME FOR $60!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS OFFICIAL

I AM GETTING A PS-QUADRUPLE

Look at this. Well done Microsoft, can't wait to see the official poll results. lol

I'd probably piss myself laughing if Sony did the same come E3.

And then I'd cry because I wouldn't buy either.

Portugal, Albania, Montengro, Sri Lanka, and Qatar. YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF THE QUADRUPLEZ!

Everyone is saying they wanna build a PC now.

Well isn't this convenient

But that doesn't mean used games are dead. In fact, Harrison told us, you'll be able to sell your Xbox One games online.

"We will have a solution—we’re not talking about it today—for you to be able to trade your previously-played games online," Harrison said.

They are even attempting to make money off of people who want to sell their games. Gamestop must be so pissed right now.
