I'm away working again :( they both should be nearly there

Out of town for that work eh

eeyyyy

225!? Shiny

to listen and to cave so quickly are two different things

I don't see what is bad with that tho senpai. Heck, region free, that's better than the 360!

It was already better than the 360, region free is a new plus, I guess, but I would trade that anyday to have the DRM the way it was. and now i cant have

up to ten people that i can share games with, without needing the disk. They just held themselves back in many ways, just from listening to a few days of internet panic.

But that would hurt developers much, much more than used games do today. If everybody would go by that plan, devs would only earn one tenth of everything.

The average would be different of course, but it would still cost them a lot of cash. This could easily lead to another great crash in the industry.

I can see the appeal to that, but you also must consider the devs. They wouldn't want to program for a system that would earn them much less cash.

if you don't think that current used games sales are hurting the industry more then you're blind.

And you have to consider that games cost several millions to produce today. With that plan, it likely they would need to sell more than several million copies to get the

being able to share games would encourage more purchases. the fact that you can't sell them back means that the only place to get said games is from the source.

money back in. Nobody would work with such problems.

That's foolish to say. The logical consumer would build a group of 10 people. Only one buys it cutting sales by ten. Show me a game that you can buy and sell more 10 time

s to proof that used games hurt the industry than this plan does. Nobody said used games aren't hurting, but this plan has very strong potential to at least double the

loss of money. Unless this system would have some limitations to it regarding acceptable members, it would be much more dangerous.

First, most consumers aren't logical as demonstrated by current events. Second, there would be limitations.

You have to be friends at least 30 days. You have to get permission from the owner when you play their games. Also, I'm pretty sure you can't play them at the same time.

This is all meant to be in past tense of course.

First off the 10 group sharing would not have equated completely to 1/10 of sales. and i would have preferred the prior direction of things to the current used game setup

well we can only move on from here, if speaking up really does carry so much weight I guess I will play my part and share my voice.

It was an extreme overestimation that's true, but I already stated that it won't be like that. It's not that I am against this plan, heck I would be all for it but there

are just some things that bother me about the idea I have mentioned before. I am just... not sure. I guess I see things too dramatic... I apologize, to both of you...

Unfortunately for everyone we won't be able to see these benefits. The new consoles have been reduced to boxes with better graphics. Hooray for next-gen.

no need to apologize for speaking your mind. It's just sad that we aren't going to be able to try these things out n then if it is a fail change things, but i guess those

pre-orders are more important.

well back to BioShock

I do have to admit something... I was never worried how the sharing thing would affect the gaming industry. I was simply worried it how it would have affected me. Let's

say it really is only limited to the family (I didn't even know up to ten people were possible!) I would be all alone. As there would be nobody to share with, I'd still

always have to buy games completely new. I just can't afford many of those so I would be at a severe disadvantage. I am so selfish... that's why I am sorry...

It wouldn't have had to be "family." The Xbox wasn't going to do a blood test.

Yes Microsoft 100% confirmed that you could " add any ten people", well we could have

Oh... Well, that does point me towards the worries about it's effects on the industry but... yeah... I doubt things are gonna change again.
