"Even if I'd stop buying games right now, I'd be good for at least two more years."
Not bad, I think I've got at least 10-15 years worth of backlog games to combat the problem. Plus, a lot of them are Strategy/tacital and RPGs, so different approaches can be used each playthrough..... I may never need to buy another game again.
And if Sony and eventually Nintendo follow MS lead, I won't....
Yeah, this whole thing just further points out how badly schools are failing to educate kids, that they think this would be a great "Feature" rather than a crime against humanity....
What if I get banned from Xbox Live? Does this 24-hour check-in fail? Am I no longer allowed to play my single player games?
Excellent question!
I look forward to the first full-scale anon attack, cracking random user accounts and behaving in such a way as to get the innocent user banned, thereby rendering their shiny new console into...well, basically an ad-supported suck-ass browser / crappy media player?
better not get too attached to those games...
Normally I'd be against this sort of hope, but since I am not buying one, I'd like to see it happen:)
Maybe that's M$'s plan to save money. Sell the XB1 at a loss, so fewer sold systems mean they lose less money! That's a profit to the corporate mindset.
90 is an awful grind... At least leveling alt and classes/races you've never played before provides some value and fun until my current subscription runs out...
Not to mention, those soldiers are generally American citizens with friends and relatives, how many are actually going to obey an order to open fire on their own friends and family?

And maybe if the Wii U had any games I wanted, I might consider buying one, but right now I see absolutely no point.
"Only causes cancer to people passing within 20 feet of the console!"
That'll be the biggest selling point of the ad campaign in the third month I'm sure...

To be fair, I think "Family" means more that just Spouse and kids...

You aren't familiar with the American population in general, are you?
Won't be possible under the XB1 model unless you pay for the "license" to play the game.
"Sorry, but Microsoft cannot obtain the data required due to your firewall settings, your console will be disabled now, the warranty voided."
Sadly, there will still be people that buy this garbage. Just fewer of them....
If no fee, why bother with this useless "feature" at all?
So WTF is GameFly going to do?
Wither and die while Microsoft laughs so hard they shit themselves...

Very true.
Even truer... Fuck the nazis at the DoT and NHTSA...
You win the internet
So by your logic, if people use cars to kill people, we have to ban cars?
You are a fucking passenger?
Fuck these Nazis

It doesn't matter to him, so why should anyone else care when the world revolves around him?

If the car won't start it can't drive, sounds even safer if you can't take it out on the dangerous road!

Oh, but 3D printers are here and soon they'll be just like Star Trek replicators /sarcasm:off
Why is any any fucking company's fucking business how much a used game sells for?
It's not.
But why would anyone buy that "used" game when it's full price?
