So like you, who saved your money, a kid saves their money, to buy it, and they want to buy used games, or rent a game, what then?
Holy shit, didn't realize video games were a basic human right like access to clean water.
It sucks that you can't have everything you want in life if you can't afford it, but if you can't afford buying a couple of $60 games a year are you really in a secure enouph position to be buying the latest and greatest technology.
I'm not saying craziness like a low income person can't have a HD TV but they should be buying the 32inch RCA for $299 not some $5000 4k TV.
Why can't you pay more, poors?Holy shit, didn't realize video games were a basic human right like access to clean water.

I'm going to wait and see how this plays out...
It's interesting how vocal we are yet Steam doesn't allow some of the same things.

Just stop man.
You're digging yourself into an elitism hole that nobody comes out of.
Except, once again, it's not as restrictive. Not even close. And Steam is available on non MS systems now, too. Not sure about Amazon.
There is nothing sensible about chuckling at something you're not quite understanding. That's just sort of arrogance.
Groovy. But if you start with name calling, you don't get to turn around and pretend to get upset at other people name calling. "Us normals" is not conducive to grown up discussion.
Or we could do this the same way we've done it for the last 30 years and those who are trying to change the game can get stuffed.It's not elitism it's a fact of life.
I want a BMW M5, bit I couldn't afford one unless I saved for a few years, and even then the maintenance would be probably out of my current budget range.
So I drive a scion, that I can afford.
Much like the low income people will have to wait till the prices come down. It's not fair but it is what it is.

Did this happen when the PS3 was released at a ridiculous price point? And now people are bitching about a 400$ price tag for new* tech with more power and more features?
Ah well.
what fight? who are we fighting?
Seriously, talk to a government representative about anti-consumer practices of DRM.
I know, I use steam on my Mac. But that doesn't change the fact that if you want a good selection of games that rivals what you'll find on the Xbox One or the PS4, you're going to need Windows.
DRM is DRM in my book. I think the fact that prices fall so fast on Steam suggests that they will also fall fast on the Xbox One.
There is nothing stopping Microsoft from changing the check up period and I believe when Steam first implemented an offline gaming system, it was just as bad as this one. But things changed since then.
This isn't as bad as some here are making it out to be. As a result of the MELTDOWNS, I've had many sensible chuckles.
Of course it did? That was horrible? One of the biggest backlashes to a console ever, until now.Did this happen when the PS3 was released at a ridiculous price point?
soundscream said:Lower income families shouldn't be buying $400+ video game boxes. $100-150 Wii/Xbox/PS3 should be where their money should go if at all.

Worthy of Sunhi. That's as high as compliments get.
I don't mean to shock you so you better sit down.
Are you sitting? Okay, we've discovered that you've come down with an awful case of Kuchera's disease. Your red blood cells can no longer carry enough empathy to your brain. Oh what's that? You don't have insurance? I'm sorry lower income people shouldn't be expecting medical care.

Woah, first page, first subject of reddit.
Impressive!

I have no problem if people vote with their wallets.

And that's what this thread is about. Promoting the "features" of Xbox One, which should spur some to vote with their wallets.I have no problem if people vote with their wallets.
What if you bought a BMW M5 but BMW decided who could drive it, who you could lend it to, who you could sell it to abs worse. That's what this boils down to, consumer rights and value being taken away from them. Stop being so damn obtuse about it.

Can you explain this thread you made back in 2012:

The title of which is:looks like i may be working on Xbox 720
Never, ever mess with Detective-GAF. That's some Grade A sleuthing.
Chill the fuck out, guys. If you're going to have such a hard-on for sleuthing, maybe start with his last several posts (prior to the 'incriminating' one) where he complains about Microsoft along with everyone else.Haha oh my god. They're leaving BREAD TRAILS for us now? This is the true next generation of videogaming right now. All fourth wall breaking and shit lol
Too latedelete
A grown up discussion would be great. Stop lobbying for my ban and respond to my actual point. The only thing I find odd is the 24 hour check in, which actually doesn't affect me at all since my console is always plugged into the internet, and if I am affected by any sort of natural disaster the last thing on my mind will be playing videogames.
Digital rentals and purchases of movies/tv shows are outpacing physical copies, digital music is outpacing cds, ect... This is the future, im sorry you cant trade in your movies or music anymore but consumers have made their choice. I honestly don't see how or why it would be any different with videogames. It wouldn't surprise me at all if by the end of this generation the majority of videogame sales were digital.
I have no problems with any of this :\
I actually think it's kind of neat that I can access my entire game library wherever I go and that I don't need a disc. Also, it sounds like you can basically give a free copy away to a friend? That seems pretty sweet if that's true
Have you ever heard of the DMV?
People without drivers licenses aren't allowed to drive cars, yeah?
If you get caught without registration, you're boned...
I'm sorry, but that didn't work well in your favor.
What the hell are you talking about? Obviously I meant lending to people who have a drivers license. You can easily borrow a nice car off a friend or family for a day, and if it doesn't already have a third party insurance policy, you can add insurance just for the day for peanuts. I do it all the time.
Not sure why would you get a BMW M5.
