THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS IF THEY RELEASED ON THE SAME DAY. I WOULD TAKE OFF WORK JUST TO SEE THE MAYHEM AROUND HOUSTON.

The Xbox One Will Not Launch On November 8 After All
Yesterday, we heard from a source at a marketing company who had seen documentation pencilling the Xbox One in for a tentative, unconfirmed November 8 launch. Today, a source close to Microsoft tells us that's not the case.

Rumor of the day: MS will have an X1 marketplace where you can sell and buy used digital games

sounds kinda dumb
i thought u only are buying a license to play the game
idk man M$ is so confusing
why they gotta make it so difficult
all we wanna do is play a game

Being able to resell a downloaded game is dumb?
Maybe all YOU wanna do is play a game, I like options

What the hell is a "pre-owned digital version?" Are you reusing the same electrons?

And you can if you choose the old fashioned way and buy a disc.
Like you said, we only buy licenses. Even when we buy discs, all we're doing is buying licenses. All the disc is for is to confirm that we have purchased said license.
A digital marketplace is not really confusing.
It is essentially the same thing as going to Gamestop and seeing a new copy of a game for $59.99 placed right next to the same game, but used, for $49.99.
Both work and both contain the same content.

i mean with all that stuff they stirred up with drm and everything else
and now they wanna give the option to sell ur digital used games
just seems like they trying to come up with stuff
i dont think will be true

How can you tell the different between a pre-owned digital game and a new, the seller? I feel like they're doing too much. Its so confusing lol.. Why not the sell the game at a cheaper price from the jump?
- 63,609

cause the publisher probably gonna get a cut of the resell
sounds like a money grab plain and simple
something to pacify the developers who M$ probably promised initially about initiating drm

that's a great feature, if true

Keep on fighting the good fight breh.
God forbid a company try to implement something new that is not only good for the consumer who choose to buy games digitally, but also generates developers more profits.

I'm assuming that you'd be able to tell whether a digital game was "used" because the license would say whether it was resold or not.
That's just my guess.

Yeah, like I said this is a great idea.
Being able to resell a game is why I'd rather have it on disc, then dl it to my hdd.
If this rumor is true, I'd have very little reason to cop discs.
When I can just dl a game, sell it, then delete it when I'm done.

This is what they were planing to do originally with the old concept. This is just a step to get more ppl on board to go digital.

why not digitally rent games? its essentially the same thing, if you're just gonna resell your digital copy after you're finished with it?

Sounds like a good idea.
But what exactly is a "used digital game"?
That part of it doesn't make any sense.

I should have been more clear. I was speaking upon new releases. If we're talking about cheap digital games, I'd probably just "keep" them.
The most expensive digital game I've bought was $25. Anything over that, I'm buying the disc. I don't see the point for buying at dl-able game at retail when you can just buy the disc copy for less money and dl it to your console.
I would assume people would be able to tell that your digital game has been sold several times.
Let's say a game company allows ppl with "new" digital games to dl exclusive content.
Maybe the buyer of the "used" digital game wouldn't be able to dl that exclusive content b/c the game company or whoever detects that your digital copy is used.
Thereby making you pay for said exclusive content.

Nobody is being forced to do this... The reason I've never sold a game is because of the inconvenience that may or may not change now but at least somebody's trying to innovate

I've never seen a bunch of consumers be so adverse to any change in the way things have always been done.
Do I think this digital resell marketplace is something that'll happen? Probably not.
But for people to take issue with being able to resell your game instantly from your console is ridiculous, the concept is beyond convenient. The only person that should be against the concept is GameStop and I'm hoping they disappear like blockbuster.

To be honest, I wouldnt play half the games I do without trade-ins. Off setting the cost really allows your to stretch your wallet.
