I do my best to buy games new to support the industry but this however is just ignorance. buying the game twice just to play it on your friends console..... uhhh pretty much defeats the purpose of physical media. 
Xbox one used game discussion thread (merged threads)

Sony said they will supposedly leave it up to the publishers themselves. You honestly think EA for example, won't have any measures put in place for the PS4 version of Battlefield 4 to prevent us from playing a used copy knowing full well there's a used game paywall on the Xbox One version?

Exactly. nikkas would rather cheer like rabid fanboys than actually sit down and use reasoning. Both M$, Sony, and numerous game publishers have been extremely clear on their distaste for the second hand gaming market and have all vowed to make sure it doesn't repeat itself this gen. Sony has already developed and patented a new technology that will ban prohibit piracy, and the Sony hacking community knows all to well what can happen to them if they decide to hack into the playstation's firmware enable it.
The truth of the matter is the traditional way of gaming on the console will change significantly this gen. All those who don't like the idea of an always on, connected console that prevents used games should stongly consider a wii. for me it will likely be a PC and an Xbox sometime down the line.
I will be reserving all systems though and flipping them come Christmas though...

EA must be paying a lot of cash to try and make both consoles fukk used games.
GameStop still sells new games and systems. Of course they would still be excited. Plus that's PR talk, what else were they supposed to say?
but some one that has a poor internet connection could go this route if the game is out of stock. Buying a code that unlocks the used game would be a decent choice compared to not being able to be played at all I guess.
the price of the used discs at some point will adjust to this. I know when I sell games on eBay I adjust my sell price if I used the online pass.
Maybe they will do like Sony does with their digital games and have them at a slight discount price online.
If your paying full retail for a used games rights, then there is no point in paying anything for the disc the game is on if its going to be stored in the cloud.

If Sony does this no used games bullshyt....then I'm not fukking with them either. I'll get a Wii U. Enjoy my dying 360 and be finished with games.
uploading your entire game to the cloud huh...you sure? waiting for the game to download at friend's house and activating under your profile before yall can play sounds like overkill.
that's a whole lot to go through for some DRM shyt. But the rumors ended up being true so
the plan is for you to never have to carry around your disc never, disc are basically a source to download the game quicker. Even when you go to your friends house you just go online and log under your profile.
disc only useful to sell your games basically, when you sell your game you lose your rights in the cloud.
I'm almost 100% positive we will be able to sell our games to friends online on the xbox.
1) They never mentioned this at all yet. People were talking about letting friends borrow games or going over to their homes to play it. I can understand "authenticating" your game at a friends house to play, but even then that person has to have internet and you have to wait for it to download from the "cloud" to play in this scenario. MS mentioned NONE Of this. To me it was go over to a friend's spot with the game, have it download to their box, you have to authenticate the copy, and then yall play
2) If you don't need the disc anymore after you install it to the HD, of course I'd sell my disc copy then. They didn't say you need to have the disc in the system to verify it before playing off the hard drive. They need to clarify this as well.
3) The selling of the game online to someone else sounds real shady. I could see them having you sell your rights to another person, but the bulk of that purchase money goes back to the publisher. They aint foolin no one. It's a ploy for the publishers to get the used game revenue instead of Gamestop and other resellers. MS/Publisher will set the "price" of the activation exchange. One big hustle.
They are actually using MS as the scapegoats to kill used games. If there is a backlash (as we see right now), who's getting the blame? MS, not EA.
Quite brilliant actually. All the negative press goes towards MS. Promising MS exclusive or timed DLC in exchange for them crippling the used game market is some real Marlo type shyt EA pulled on MS.
MS: What we do wrong?
EA:
Another thing EA didn't get rid of Online passes for no reason, I think this is actually better then online passes which are 100x more shytty for used games. If the used games are priced appropriately consumers, gamestop and publishers will eat.
No disc switching will>> imagine being able to say xbox play conker and it comes on
. Then xbox forza comes on while sitting and being
