"There is rumor that Xbox 3 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."
Well what do your think? Me? Well I don't like it and I hope it is just not going to happen. Now I usually buy my games new anyway but what if I can't afford to always buy new games? I don't want that option taken away from me. Heck, what if I want to sell a game I no longer use or just give it to someone who can't buy every game they need. There are kids out there suffering from poverty. Now how are they going to have any fun if this happens?
I think Microsoft is just going to hurt themselves and their developers in the long run if they take this route. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

True true, Microsoft might just have to rethink this one. They will end up selling far less consoles for sure. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

I think they should allow us to play 360 games but keep xbox3 games digital, games will start out a $60 anyway and for most people you can only return the game if its sealed.

Yeah, I really want my xbox and 360 games on the 720. I was going to buy the newer 360 but have decided to hold off until I hear if we at least get to use our 360 games on the 720. With bluray sure to be part of the 720 it sounds like games will still be released on disc. I do buy allot of digital games so it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me if it was all digital I guess but then there would be no used 720 games as default if that is the case.
Still there is a good market for used games. Some people wouldn't even buy the console if they can't buy at least some used games. No used games equals - LAME _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

Not really agreeing on that part the same thing is going to happen.
Time will pass and game stores will deny accepting 360 games as trade in offers like how they are starting to do with the ps2.
Those return policies are part of the reason why I mod my consoles too many times have I bought a game and it sucked, demos meh they can be misleading they only show the first part of the game or then they're timed demos.
People may not like it but this worlds going digital. Like I say most stores will only return games if it's sealed or give you crappy store credit for %60 less of what you spent for it.
Theres just not much of a point in my eyes anymore just go digital this way is better also in a sense that you'll never loose a copy, or worry about scratches.

I like my big giant collection of original games. In fact I love them. Now I'll never finish building 'the wall of video games' that goes back 30 years to now.
