Riff Moonraker said:First, I asked the gamestop owner about the used games policy, and considering he has a vested interest in the deal, he actually said it wasnt a big deal. It just hasnt been explained well, and he said its not really going to affect anything we are currently doing now, and it wont really be any different. Sure, thats not going to be enough to convince you, but he actually seemed a bit knowledgable on it, and I think there is most likely some truth to what he said. Second, I have been supporting the gaming industry since PONG, so I dont need someone trying to tell me the first thing about gaming, and harming the industry. Are you really so brain dead that you want to see the Xbox go out of business? If you do, you need to look in the mirror, because it would be YOU that would be hurting the industry and gamers alike.mohit9206 said:Well you do know that by supporting the Xbox One you are supporting Microsofts's dirty policies of used games restrictions,renting/loaning games,requirement of internet connection every 24 hours and so may more i cant even count. Sure its possible none of those things affect you, but by supporting them you are screwing over the gaming industry and people who love games.You should know that.Riff Moonraker said:Opinion. Not fact. Personally, I think the Xbox is better for gaming. To each his/her own.mohit9206 said:How is it a better choice unless you are really into TV stuff. For TV xbox is better but for gaming PS4 is better.9thRequiem said:I am. At least 1, possibly 2.

And yes, I do have very good reasons for picking this over the PS4. It's not just blind loyalty - it's legitimately the better choice for me.
I have preordered my xbox one, and I am from the USA.
He does have a vested interest in it, but maybe not in the way you think he does. Gamestop actually stand to benefit from this restriction on used games because it's going to remove much of the competition. If only selected retailers can trade used games, then we're obviously going to see a lot of smaller independent stores not selling them, nor will sites like eBay and craigslist (at least not to the degree they currently sell used games. honestly, how many do you expect will be willing to put people on their friends list for 30 days just to sell/buy a game slightly cheaper than at gamestop?). That means more people are going to be buying their used games from Gamestop and even with whatever fee the publishers charge, I'll be extremely surprised if they stand to lose money from this.
