How will no used games affect you?

Me? A lot.

So many reasons to go against a "no used game" system.

1) can't buy games cheaper. Not every game is worth $60.

2) can't sell games. What are we gonna do once we finish a game? Keep it? We can't even lend them to a friend or give them for free to anyone. THAT JUST PLAIN SUCKS. You either keep them or throw them away.

3) what about games that you missed, or you wanna buy down the line? Imagine wanting to play some niche PSX game today and won't be able to play it unless you buy a new, unopened game. O-U-C-H.

I only buy new, but the way this could effect me is that I wouldn't be able to resell any games I don't play anymore, and I wouldn't be able to borrow a game from a friend, or let a friend borrow a game from me.  I honestly don't care if Sony or MS block used games, but I know a lot of people do.

I think all this talk of blocking used games sales wont actually happen, at least not this gen.  Sony only has a patent (many they never intend to use), and MS would be dumb to block used games if Sony doesn't.  If it does happen, both will do it, cause if one does and the other doesn't, the company that doesn't will lose. 

i don't buy used games ever so it won't affect me.themagicbum9720

Yes but you don't sell games, nor lend them to a friend, nor ask a friend to lend you one? This goes way beyond "purchasing something new".

Don't buy used games or resell so couldn't care less.

Not at all. I dont buy used, only discounted. However, i have been known to LAN every once in awhile and having to tow your console along with your game is tedious. But i dont do that very often any more.

A lot, but there is 0% possibility any console maker will release a console that won't allow used games to be played on their platform.

I like to keep my games, but from time to time i buy something that i can't stand, so i would like to sell it and buy another more interesting game !

exactly. AssCreed1 and Red Dead are such examples.

1) So you would save your own money and give developers 0 returns, filfthy pirate scum. 2) Filthy pirates sharing goods, those poor developers. 3) oh noes, niche developers don't deserve the same money as blockbuster casual crapfest developers Cool Story bro, cry more :DMBirdy88

save the fact that the money will go to the publishers, not developers. use your head. publishers fund the project and put devs on contract.

Haha there goes consoles only advantage

Unlike the majority of gamers, apparently, I never sell my games. I never know when I want to go back and play one.

This will affect me in that I always buy my games used, only new if it's actually worth full-price (and I have very different tastes from most of you, so this rarely happens). It'll suck, but as long as Nintendo doesn't do it, I'm golden.

It won't.

Don't care I don't buy used games, and I just throw away games I don't need.

So what does this do to places like Gamefly? It really doesn't effect me but what about game rentals?

Not really but I buy used for games I feel aren't worth 60 bucks.

I will never support any console that blocks them. At least on PC, if a game is plagued by terrible DRM or never comes down in price, there are alternative means to get it.

Not being able to borrow or lend games will effect me the most no doubt.

SUBTLE

It won't, because I wouldn't go anywhere near a console that blocks used games.

It won't. I only buy new unless it's an outrageously expensive retro game.

It won't. If the Nextbox really does go that route i'll be boycotting it.

Not one bit on PC

I almost always buy new but I do like having the option to sell my games, and I know people that have low incomes rely on used games to play games, so it really sucks for them.

If a console blocks used games it will automatically make it no my console of choice.  So if Microsoft goes that way I'll be getting the PS4 first and for all my multiplatform games, and if Sony goes that way vice versa.  If both goth that way then I'll probably move to PC and a Wii U.

I don't buy used games, but it doesn't only affect purchases.

There is also no borrowing, trading, or renting.

My friend, and his brother, always trade games between each other because they don't have money to afford everything they want, and recently I rented Halo 4 from Redbox in order to have a third Xbox going in a mini-LAN not too long ago.

Used games help to get more games to more people, and in doing so helps make bigger fanbases for your product.

Me, not one bit. I'm primarily a PC gamer. Even my console games though are all new. I like for the devs/publishers to get my money. I have a job, gotta use the money on something.

I'm probably going to be going ps4 so I hope sony doesn't block used games, however I believe the industry is going to decide this not any one "party". I mostly game on pc so I usually pick up one console usually a sony console. For ps3 I have bought many used games. In fact my favorite game this entire generation including even pc games has been dark souls which I played entirely only on ps3 and bought used. It would have sucked ass to have to buy some stupid online pass like some EA games to play online.

If other console owners roll like me it could hurt their sales a bit.

Its bound to happen, the publishers would rather go the pc business model. I'm shocked they have not done it sooner, people who buy game used are seen to the publishers as no better than pirates
