Nope, not one bit.
No they don't deserve it either. What they deserve is the price that they ask for when they sell it. Once they have sold it, then that's it. If they want to make money from used game sells, then they should buy them back like Gamestop does.
Exclusively for Playstation 3, even though all of the most loyal DOA fans are on the Xbox, as they have been since Itagaki was there.
Go figure.

You are both wrong. Ownership of a video game disc is license to play the game. It's always been that way. Microsoft is trying to change it, but it won't work; the market will kill the Xbox rather than allow that to happen.
No one wants to install the game to their HDD. They want to own the game that pay for. That is what they have always had.
This stuff about the license being non-transferable and the ...

But forcing they buyer or the seller to pay a fee to the publisher is the same thing as preventing the sale. The issue is the right of someone who is not a party to the transaction to prevent the sale for any reason, not the reasonableness of the amount of the fee they may charge. If Microsoft or the publisher have the right to charge $5.00 then they have the right to charge $50.00. If the have the right to charge a single penny then they have the POWE...
I agree with both of you guys. The people seem to think that everybody has limitless pools of cash to spend. But that's not the truth. People are not going to magically produce $60 instead of the $30 that they planned to spend just the Microsoft or the developer eliminated the $30 used game option.
Dedicatedtogamers is right. Removing used games is going to raise the entry point into the market for video games and hurt the sales of NEW games, it won't help their s...
I, too, think that it will sell less on WiiU. Once it bombs on WiiU, they will invent some BS reason to put it on Playstation / Xbox where it will also bomb because re-releases/delayed releases never sell well. The problem is that Bayonetta 2 will need the sales. When they don't come, and they can't because it's on the wrong platform, that will effectively end the franchise. It'll be a shame because the franchise will most likely consist of two great games.
This is the same thing that Sony has been saying since the PS4 announcement. If the publishers want to make their games online only then that is up to them. But the logistics of it won't work without Sony's support. They would only end up chasing their customers over to their competing games.

Your example is wrong because you didn't consider entry price and competition, and you left didn't count some of the money in the first scenario.
In your example, before used games were banned, the first person would get back $300 and immediately spend it on brand new games. Gamestop give back store credit, almost never cash. That means there would be 15 new games sold in the scenario with used games, not 10, and the publisher ...
They all sell out at launch because there are not enough of them to go around. However, over that following year the PS4 is going to sell a lot faster unless Microsoft drops all the DRM/Ban used games stuff. And if the PS4 is cheaper than the XBone.....
Hey man, that's not right. Pachter was right once before.
It doesn't matter whether you disagree or not. Your opinion is irrelevant.
Your opinion doesn't matter BECAUSE I OWN IT. I don't need your agreement to do what I want to with my own stuff. That is why I want to own it...so that I can choose what do with it in spite of someone else's disagreement. If I want to let 20 people use my game for free, then I can do that no matter who disagrees with my decision.
You can do what you want with your ...
If the early adopters choose the PS4 over the Xbone at the rate shown in the admittedly non-scientific online polls, then after the first year of sales the install bases will be close to 9 million PS4 vs. 1 million Xbone's. Numbers that lop-side will affect developer support. If they stay that lop-sided then we will start to see 3rd party exclusives on again on PS4.
This is the dumbest comment ever. Gamers were not "afforded" any rights to the games. Gamers "bought" games, and therefore they owned those games and could do whatever they wanted to do with them.
BTW, Yes it is fair that I can buy a game and 20 of my friends borrow it and they all beat it but yet the developers and programmers only received ONE sale of the game. They SOLD me a copy of the game. So long as I made no copies and all 20 of my friends one ...
Which site is the official Xbox One Forum. I want to have a look for myself to see how they are taking the Xbox one news?
Edit:
Hey, somewhere along the way I got a sixth bubble, I wonder when did that happen?
Except that the used games fee has been confirmed.
Microsoft confirmed it, and then once everybody got mad, they said that it wasn't confirmed.
Except that it will hurt us if the Xbox One succeeds in it current form.
The Xbox one will make gaming less convenient, and more expensive, and more restrictive at the same time, unless Microsoft changes its policies.
EDIT:
I forgot more intrusive with it ever-watchful Kinect.
EDIT:
And the once per 24 hour internet check-in requirements
I'll say this.
This is NOT a case of Microsoft in-artfully delivering its message; this is a case of the message being flawed. Microsoft told the market that they were going to take something from gamers.
The gamers are saying, "not with my money you won't."
There is no way to put lipstick on this pig.
Late but I may want to reference this later.
Awww, I thought is was a new game. Well, the original Fable was really good so if you are going to remake something Fable is not a bad choice.
Here's to hoping that Microsoft makes a new Fable game for the Xbone....and that they allow us to freely trade our games to whomever we wish without fees or restrictions.
