I have been gaming with a xbox since the first one was released. I would like to know the idiot who thought it was a good ideal not to have a disc drive. Im not going to buy a game and get stuck with it. Buying new games and trading them in after a short time is what i do alot. I know a bunch of people who do the same. I dont understand the marketing stratgey behind this, but I personally think that playstation is going to blow microsoft out of the water. A friend said the games will be cheaper for the 720. If that is the case I may reconsider.. Right now though Im thinking Playstation. Of course I will buy 2 since my kids play to…

So, assuming the game release pattern of COD, the next game will come out some time in late 2013. Do you think Microsoft would be greedy enough to make the new xbox not compatible with 360 disks so the new COD game would not work with the new xbox? Will they a) make new xbox compatible with 360 disks? b) release the new COD game after the new xbox? or c) be greedy and release the game before causing people to either buy it again for new xbox?

Wait I won’t be able to get used games or sell my old ones? Digital only? HAH I need something real in my hands, I hope they come with a 10 terabyte SSD not to mention I have to download and wait for high bandwidth hours and server crashes. Yeah I won’t be buying this system, I love Microsoft, I love Xbox, but every time I see a company trying to combat piracy I see the honest paying patrons paying for a few people compared to the masses who legally buy. But this is all due to the stock market. A system that is set up to out perform last quarters profits and output which is never sustainable. Because they do bad, they have to try to corner the market in someway. This tactic is a failure. Pirates will never pay. They will wait for release and find a way like they always do. Because they are thieves. Thats how thieves work

I am sick of DRMs and I am sick of game publishers that are willing to punish me because some one else has hurt their profit margin. I will not be buying a next gen console, I guess (at 47) I have just grown weary of their whining. I have always bought all my games legally, but they insist on making it harder and harder for me to just sit down and play a game. I AM NOT THE CRIMINAL! If these publisher are not careful, I will start buying pirated games just to avoid the DRMs

If this is true, I expect xbox sales to plummet into the 0 region.

The Durango better have blue-ray, internet connection required at all times is not a good idea, and digital download only, I mean come on its always nice to have the actual disc in your hand.

Looks like its time to switch to Playstation, after all wasn’t impressed with kinect or paying too much for small storage options these past few years.
