The Ultimate Hi Def Next Gen Console thread (internet connection required)
Blue Kitty:
--- Quote --- But no, it's all used games that did this. Used games made Capcom make some horrible design decisions on DmC and piss off the entire fanbase. Used games made Activision and EA flood the market with guitar games and accessories long after people stopped caring. Used games made Microsoft make a fourth Gears of War game that nobody asked for from a developer nobody cares about. Used games made Sony pump out another God of War game after they spent the past few years flooding the market with HD remasters. Used games made Sony make a Smash Bros clone with no appealing characters to help sell it. Used games made Bizarre Creations make James Bond and racing games no-one wanted. Used games make publishers shutter studios the moment the game they were working on goes gold, before they've even had a chance to sell a single new copy, let alone a used one.
I could go on. And on. And on. You could write a book about every single executive level screw-up this gen and yet these same people with their million dollar salaries and their shill puppets still try to insult our intelligence and blame used games and awful, entitled consumers for companies shutting and talented people losing their jobs.

From a post on NeoGAF,
Parkour Lewis:
Holy shit that article the thread is about...
--- Quote --- Listen to what Harrison told Kotaku. “We will have a solution—we’re not talking about it today—for you to be able to trade your previously-played games online,” he said. What that likely means is that you’ll be able to trade your license for… something. Microsoft points, or credit towards another game, and Microsoft will simply remove the license from your account. Think about it this way: No used game is created from this scenario, it’s simply a license that is cancelled. That changes everything.

so...
What he's saying, basically is: You Buy Halo 36, take it home, install it, play it for a month and get bored, then Forza 57 comes out and you want it, so Microsoft erases your license for Halo 36 and gives you a discount for downloading Forza 57. And that license is not sold to anyone else to make up for it as a "used" title. Why would they give a flying clusterfuck about you erasing a title when they can just charge you full price for Forza 57? They're going to give you a discount out of the kindness of their hearts because they know you really want to lose a game for no reason and get that discount.
that....
That is one of the finest lines of absolute bullshit that I have ever had the priviledge of witnessing. It almost brings a tear to my eye.

Man it's great to not be a console user, us PC'ers don't have to put up with bullshit of this magnitude. Granted, we have our own fair share of bullshit, but at least on a PC, there will be some dedicated person who discovers how to break a game's "always online" requirement so it can be played offline (Diablo 3 and Sim City 5, anyone?) and then spread to everyone.
On the other hand, my computer is over four years old and is finally starting to show its age, so it'll be time for me to upgrade soon. Fuck Windows 8... -.-
Parkour Lewis:
I can respect the PC market well enough, but I never liked it. maybe it was just me, but I was always having problems with incompatibility with video card drivers or sound screwups, or the game's display being upside down for no adequately-explained reason, or a thousand other problems and glitches that was the reason I eventually went solely to console gaming. Sure I might not have the 10324324 X 90523532 resoluton display some have that I don't really care at all about (OMG MUH PIXELS) but on the whole gaming on consoles has been a lot more stable for me.
That and after I paid good money for Spore I swore to never play a PC game again.

Just noticed something in a Cracked article about Xbox One:
--- Quote ---So no, you can't loan a game to a friend to let him try it -- once a disc is registered with one machine, it can't be used on another without that person paying full price.

So what happens to a person whose Xbox One is destroyed, say in a fire, or by a stupid roommate, or by a RROD, or some other calamity? Does the person have to pay again to play his own games?
Man Microsoft is kicking up the shitstorm to end shitstorms with this thing...
Edit: What the holy hell??? The forum just...added that link to the article at the end of the quote! I didn't even copy the link to it at any point, just that snippet. Internet is getting fucking creepy on me...
