I've been reading online, nothing official mind you, that the game rental businesses will be affected as well and that M$ will charge you full price for the rental game.

I sure hope enough people are as aggravated (word I have to use for here) as much as I am and do not support this system or business model . I hope this goes down as a huge failure for M$ and $ony.

Most folks are hoping that there will be enough push back and the business model will change a little so that rental and used can still have a place in this world.

I wonder how long M$ will keep Live going for the 360 users?

The system looks like it should be nice tho, seems a bit bulky but that could change by the holiday release I guess. It will be interesting to see the level of TV stb integration it has. The sports/tv part looked pretty cool.

It looks lie the sharing fee will be the same cost of a new game: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Xbox-One ... 5137.shtml" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It won't take long for Game Stop to mount a legal defense and sue the you know what out of them. If I was a franchisee, I'd be screaming to the high heavens. As a user, I am sickened that they are finding a way to make you pay full price and shutting down a business. What if printed publishers figured out a way to do this with books? It is kind of like all the ammunition manufacturers getting together and figuring out a way to stop people from reloading.

All that this type of behavior from M$ and $ony creates is a world that figures out how to hack the systems and for folks like me to do it just so I can stick it to them.

The biggest concern I have with this is the hype that M$ is pushing game developers to only develop cloud based games and nothing on the disc. This would put out of business a bunch of Game Stops. And this is the the majority way I buy games and only occasionally a new game.
