I'm more worried about consumer rights. If we accept this we are to reap the fail.
And if these games are online validated....what's stopping MS from shutting down servers in 5-7yrs?
Used games are not the problem...it's the retail stores handling of the used games. If they waited 3 weeks before selling a released game....I bet that solve it. Some people might wait the 3 weeks...but most won't. Gamers look to release day and want their game ...
I know of a place I can go get it right now. The owner does this for long term loyal customers.
It's always a mom n pop shop. Never big chain stores.
Prepaid ps3
Deal with it
Lol
So what exactly makes this a 6.5/10? Simple because many don't find the art direction exciting enough? That's valid. But it's no 6.5/10.
Go play Singularity or Wolfenstein.
Everything but the art is top shelf. It's 4plyr co-op with echelon mode. It's horde mode is never the same twice. It's been glitch free so far.
And the art? It's no more generic than gears or halo. Yet I don't here t...
I have it prepaid....but I'm not sure I can pull the trigger. Last of us is just around the corner.
I'm 100% against used game DRM. But try and remember you don't own the games you buy....you pay $60 for a license to play for eternity. (Except DRM server crap negates this doesn't it?)
This is the issue we need to fight! This bs applies to movies, tv shows, videos you buy.....it's precisely why you can't copy or share these things. And yet who hasn't loaned a movie or had more than 7 friends over to watch a movie?
(In Canada there's a limi...
This indeed is telling. I assumed that the logical plan was EA asked MS to create this DRM bs. EA does away with online passes. MS loves it to combat piracy. (If MS ever succeeded in eliminating piracy - they'd lose out on all those replacement buys! But whatev)
But it makes sense that pubs don't know anything yet....otherwise we'd have leaks long time ago. Oh wait....kinda did didn't we!
I just get a vision of some kid humping his carpet yelling "I'm prone rolling bitch!" On his brand spanking new xbone.
No buy cod. No buy xbitch.
Is mirrors edge really getting a sequel?
One of the most memorable games from this gen! Love it.
If its exclusive to MS (and kinect makes me think EA would be that stupid) then bye bye.
Sorry MS - but you can't sway me with your spy box!

Not sure how to post a new article so I link this here for what it's worth. 7/10
So as I suspected....much better than 2.5/5 from some no name site. Lol
I just wanted to bring some balance here - who the $&$@ are these guys?
I'll wait for some reviews from more trusted sites. And more importantly, a few actual gamers reviews.
I enjoyed the demo...felt bit too bullet spongy. It is no where near their earlier works ill concede.....if the demo is full representation of final.
I'll take the risk tomorrow. Picking up grid 2 too.....don't see any reviews for that either. Wtf?!
It's times like this I wish minority report was real.
I'd preemptive sue with class action so fast!
Lol
But seriously....Canada, Australia, Germany....these countries won't allow this. No way!
Count me in! Love BoF!
Canada pretty strict on these issues too.
I can see Canada restricting xbone or requiring modifications.
It's MS fault. Arrogance and greed....the American way?
I'd like to point out that those with Internet and dedicated gamers/media consumers ....will not tolerate downtime & all this costs bandwidth. Internet providers will love gouging us.
Imagine Internet use at college campuses! They have incredible fiber optics but still....that might be a nightmare waiting to happen. You think cloud gaming is going to have a footprint comfortable to regular server to peer connectin? Lol
Make no mistake - it's MS a...
Here's the thing - are casuals and fools (not trying to be insulting....but there's no other word for anyone who's ok with MS take on xbone), are they enough purchase power to negate the mass loss of core gamers? I suspect yes. The reason being that the xbone is no longer a gamers console. It's a media hub.
Core gamers buy multiple games a month. Full retail. Plus, LIVE titles. This all costs sub for live.
To play online I mean.
So...
There's another angle I think many dont realize.
This train wreck DRM - 24hr check & used game fees.....MS can change this policy right now. I'd argue they already have after the interwebs melted down!
But....you've always known they are greedy and manipulative. What makes you think that after they establish a landing party in the hearts and minds of buyers....that they won't change thier crap back to their original plan????!!
<...
The GameStop theory is legit.
But I'm not convinced that had they played ball with the big consoles makers that they wouldn't go this route eventually anyways.
And I do believe Sony will be the lesser of evils here. WiiU even more so....lol
meh indeed
Conan the barbarian this gen last boss was soooooo redonkulous.
