Disclaimer:
IGN rumor based on Kotaku rumor

Source: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/121/1217257p1.html?utm_campaign=twposts&utm_source=twitter

Relevant info:
"Rumor has it the next-generation Xbox may limit exactly what kind of games you're allowed to play. According to sources speaking to Kotaku, the Xbox 360's successor will have some kind of anti-used-game enforcement. There's no explanation of what that means, but speculation surrounding the issue says the console could outright reject used-games altogether."

Who could possibly have predicted such faggotry?

Great, now consoles are looking to have the same DRM bullshit PC gamers get to go through, and probably without any of the attractive Steam sale pricing, either.

Services like Xbox Live for the original Xbox going down (though it's hardly the first such case) are only a sign of things to come at this rate...they don't care about game longevity and preservation, just repeat sales and profit.

only way I could see that working is that the disc has some sort of embedded key (like THAT'S gonna work) that the console reads, validates, attaches to your xbox live account and phones home before the game will even start.

What if your console fucks up though? Or you don't have your system connected to the internet?

I wasn't fucking around when I said I'm not buying into the next gen.

Save us, Nintendo.

Make the WiiU competent from a hardware and online perspective and don't put up with this faggotry from third parties.

Yeah, there's a 0% chance I am getting a PS4 or Xbox 3 (except if they flop and go bargain bin, like I expect Vita to in the near future).

Still on the fence about WiiU. I am thinking it might be the last true "game console".

I wouldn't be shocked if they just went digital distribution, which would make the idea of used games impossible anyway.

Not feasible.

Game .ISOs are getting too big and there isn't the infrastructure to support that in the US yet.

Imagine if all of those CoD-bots tried to download MW4 at the same time. The whole god damn internet would go down.

Everything bad with video gaming starts and stops at Call of Duty. It will cause the industry to crash again. If there was no Call of Duty the entire rest of the industry would be flourishing as a result.

Wouldn't go that far.

I would say everything wrong with the industry today begins and ends with the Xbox brand. They're the ones who shifted to a paid online model, they're the ones that started pushing microtransactions, they're the ones who just plain will NOT allow developers to give out content for free, they're the ones who keep pushing non-gaming features and tying game features to them...

Xbox 1 and then Xbox 360 are the problem. Sony trying to keep pace with shit like Online Pass is a problem. Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed are a symptom.
