Ok, I've been doing some major searching of the internet and I've read numerous articles depicting the small amount of details concerning the familiar used games concept we all love and enjoy. I know a lot of people are excited about next-gen gaming and the possibilities that come with that. But do you know what we are prescribing too? Huh, huh, well do ya?!? This is what you are getting for your money now. Through my research I've found that used games are playable on both the PS4 and the Xbox One......BUT FOR A PRICE!!!!! No executives or PR reps have given any final word on what that price may be or how it will be paid at this time. Imagine that..... Speculation by many experts and journalists, like my link I've shared, believe that the fee to play a used game may even be the price of the whole game! Now you ask yourself....How is that possible? Well, for one, Xbox One will make that possible because they are adopting the PC habit of installing games on the HDD and you no longer needing the disk, outside of installing it yet again on another system. So say you want to play a game I have to try it out. Guess what? You better buy that crap because even my gaming friendship has a communistic price on its head now. So a question I had is, What will happen to Gamestop, my favorite gaming store because the people know the games instead of Walmart Jackasses who stare at me when I ask them for a copy of Halo 4 and state they've never heard of an angel games. Gamestop predicates itself on the profits of used games. Moreover, these morons at Microsoft and Sony will effectively eliminate a large chunk of fans who buy brand new games using the trade-ins from their used games. I've bought numerous games brand new, even today I bought Defiance (don't laugh) brand new on four trade-ins. By doing this they are limiting their demographic. What's next? If I sale my Xbox One, the new customer that buys my used system has to be charged a "haha sucker" fee to play it!?! Don't get me wrong, I am a diehard Xbox fan and love how they handle things, and even PS4 has its benefits but, seriously, WTF? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
