I think the always online bit is going to be for certain games. Like MMO types and multiplayer which is a no-brainer. wouldn't be surprised if MS made this last min chg

I think that pay to play 2nd hand games is a change that would happen mid console...and likely would occur across all consoles, else cause a specific platform to fail.

also .. your forget, EA is pulling their online pass to play... so this seems to mesh with what we have seen

If the game is on a disc, how would the system know it is used?

As an owner of multiple consoles that could be a problem, but in general doesn't bother me that they want to limit the used market. Buy most of my games new will just

wait for the right price point

Because you'll have to be online when you start the game. And possibly always online, MS could still announce that later.

Dunno but with all that tech anythings possible...Maybe an installation code just like the old online pass...

There will be some sort of code or serial number on the disc that is registered with your gamertag when you install it. These bits will be uploaded and tracked.

The cost to encode a disc would not be worth it. If they start doing the register code thing it is going back 20 years to the PC. Code Gens galore will be made.

Or they will lose sales because people will not buy the game. See PC pricing. It is much lower than consoles and drops really fast. Used market drives buzz.

Maybe they treat it like a Xbox live purchase? 1st xbox it is on, anyone can play. If play on a second xbox must be that gamertag.
