I'm gobsmacked

The source revealed that game retailers will be forced to sell second hand games at just a 10% discount on the original RRP. This news will come as a shock to consumers who are currently used to purchasing trade-in games at up to 50% of the retail value.

@mestre that is where your wrong.. I will not be buying the Xbox one with its big brother style surveillance in my living room even when the consoles turned off

I will not buy any EA games

And I will not pay to play online I made a stand against not buying the 360 because of it because I knew it would encourage Microsoft to see how far they can push things because of greed and I was right the Xbox one is the worst thing to happen to gaming

Big brother... In your own home

I'm racking my brain as who would buy this machine.. Kinect always on always watching always listening connected to microsofts servers.... Fack me sideways

@bunt you are soo wrong

Kinect 2 uses power even when the console is on standby it is always listening and watching as reported by euro gamer

I have not seen one interview saying it can be turned off... I've read reports also that Kinect 2 has to be kinected* for the Xbox one to even work

So Microsoft controls the game YOU bought... You don't own it, you can't lend it you cannot do what you want with a game you paid for

Kinect is always listening always on even when you power down the console... Basically microsofts control everything

Read this shite then tell me game journalism isn't a joke

Anyone and I mean anyone who thinks cloud storage is going to add processing power to hardware is an idiot.

Just saw it's official Xbox magazine LMFAOOOOOOOOO

LMFAOOOOOOOOO at edonus saying fanboy is destroying the industry

Then look in the mirror... We've all seen your posts talking nonsense defending the shite that is Xbox one

The only thing destroying gaming is microsofts greed, DRM, and the crap that is Kinect 2 which is always on and always watching and listening

Kinect 2 is worse than the DRM ms have implemented

The camera is always watching and listening even when Xboxone is on standby

You have no privacy that is mad scary... You basically are inviting ms into your private sanctuary to log how you behave... Remember Kinect is 24/7 logged to ms servers

This has to be the most terrible console ever made

The always online so you can't lend games is bad enough

But the Kinect even when you power down the console itself is still always on watching and llistening which is why you can say Xbox on an it turns on.. Everything you say can be logged on Microsoft servers.. Plus recording your every move... That scares me even more.. It's actually terrifying

We already live in a big brother...

Yup hating coz you spend your hard earned £50 on a game to realise you don't even own it...... Just a license to play the game

Yep Phil Harrison llet this little bit of information slip out to CVG site earlier

We now know why EVERY single game is linked to an account it's so you can't lend games

That's the reason why it's always online... To check game licenses.. Wana start a game offline? FORGET IT

They were planning on charging full price to 'lend' a game to a friend... Price could change who gives a f**k it's still a piss take

Thought it would be higher....wait till people really understand

respect to Adam sessler for trying to get MS to just come clean

so what we know...every game is linked to an account..basically you cannot just pop a game in and play offline..ms have stated there are advantages to linking games to an account its so you can log in anywhere...bullshit

every game is linked to an account so you cannot get round the no lending..every game has to be ...

@Whoyou wit your an idiot

why do you think everygame is downloaded to the hardrive?or registered to an account? Do you think you can just pop in a game an play offline? NOPE

its registered to your online account for a reason if you ain't online then you aint playing...and the ONLY reason why Microsoft have done this is so they can check the game is being played by the account holder DRM basically

its just worded to sound less severe in a...
