So if this truly happens who is going to actually buy the next Xbox?

won't happen


but online and offline passes will be common for a lot more games

online passes are dumb..
people have the right to sell their copy of a game they purchased if done with it or it just plain didnt fill their gaming needs.
and if someone purchased it used... it was their right to wait and buy a used copy than paying full price they felt wasnt worth 60$

I am already contemplating whether or not to buy a new counsel. I am spending 1700 on a pc so news like this really puts me off on buying one.

not sure if ill buy a new console or not, but their restricting the use of used games wouldnt change my decision either way.
the online passes only piss me off because the publishers are greedy assholes. if the money actually went to the developers of the games, it wouldnt bother me so much.

Intresting..
if games weren't $60 each + DLC costs, no one would have to buy used

And companies have the right to require an online pass.

I really don't get why everyone bitches about Online Passes. They are almost the exact same as CD keys for PC games.

so true lol

this, wish I could get used pc games though.
