Major nelson releases another statement about used games

Statement

Over the past few days, we have been reading comments and message boards following the Xbox One announcement. There are a few questions regarding used games. I wanted to clarify and provide this official statement:

The ability to trade in and resell games is important to gamers and to Xbox. Xbox One is designed to support the trade in and resale of games. Reports about our policies for trade in and resale are inaccurate and incomplete. We will disclose more information in the near future.

Can we wait until MS releases more info about this guys now?

Even if it's true, I'm pretty sure it's hard to stop people now. The news has spread widely.

They need to clear all of this up well ahead of E3. Otherwise all their games will be completely overlooked.wolverine4262

True. What happened after the conference was a disaster.

Wait for official news? Cool. I'm still behind on  everything  X1.

All they need to do is make you register the game on a new console because of the new install feature. No fee is required. That way if one disk is registered 100-1000 times they know somethings a miss. Problem solved! If they do this I'm in. If there's a fee I'm out it's that simple.

Good to hear. His second comment in as many days means MS is aware of how big an issue the used game thing is. Hopefully we get a resolution that everyone can live with. But its nice to know they are aware that this is the biggest MS issue.

M$ knows what they are doing. They can't come out and give a clear answer because its too far from launch. They want people to find out after its too late because not everyone does research.

I'm pretty sure that are some kind of fee or restriction! Other wise they can simply said that used games are support at 100% (something like that)

at what point did they start planning this launch? seems like this shambles was almost put together the night before the accouncement.

Too late to cover it up. Xbox Done.

They will allowit. Don't mean it will be practical or economically feasible.

Actually if they are reading message boards (And according to Cows they have one person per Kinect's sold watching every household through Kinect's lens so I am sure they hire people to read your shit all day as well.), then they know where they need to fix things before E3. I am not saying they will fix all the problems, but they are probably gonna reconsider some things.

There are alot of casuals out there who have no clue about used games being blocked or internet being required or that Kinect will spy on people to charge for every person watching a paid program.

Why would it cross their mind that this will happen?

For people saying that won't make a plan that benefits the consumers they probably will if their is enough backlash to all that info that was posted after the conference. They are still talking about this most likely anyway.Companies do change their policies if they think it won't benefit the cosumer who buys their product.

I have no clue.

Which is most likely going to be limiting our options to places like Gamestop where MS and publishers will now get a piece of the pie. Private transactions are going to be nonexistent.

[QUOTE="timbers_WSU"] Damn you are stupid. People do not usually impulse buy a $300 item without knowing some details about it.timbers_WSU

MS did not release an official statement saying that they would block used games.

Thanks for saying precisely jacksh*t Major Nelson. Only open your goddamn mouth when you actually have something worth saying, not more PR gibberish. 

It must be so unnerving for them... Those who have insights that could (in theory) quell the raged gamer community. I wonder if there is a mass of MS employees just sitting there, dying to tell us how their grand master plan will unfold to make all of this worth it or even just okay... 

That is... assuming said information exists.

If it were just like always, they would have stated so. Fees are incoming, one way or another.Giancar

Yep. All it takes to figure that out is common sense but lems have none.

[QUOTE="NathanDrakeSwag"]

[QUOTE="timbers_WSU"] Maybe because Microsoft actually announce shit on TV instead of online like Sony and Nintendo? Maybe because CNN and other news publications are actually talking about the XBOX ONE? (Something they hardly did with PS4 and Wii U). And unlike Nintendo who does not make commercials and Sony who only makes commercials about games, Microsoft will spend millions to advertise the Hell out of the X1 which will get interest up. In the States at least, we will hardly go anywhere without seeing XBOX. Word of mouth + Gamestop and other employee's explaining the system = They will find out way before they buy it.timbers_WSU

You have to check in once every 24 hours to do anything on the console including playing single player games.

Maybe they are waiting to see the reaction people have to the info that was released after the conference.

I have a feeling that Nelson is going Major cry soon.

Even if they did fix this I would not get a Xbox One. I just know now MS out to rip, Bad enough we pay to play are games online, when its not worth it. Never had to pay to play most games online with PS3, PC, wii or anything else. MS is really out for that money. Any little thing they want money, even add ads on Xbox live while we already pay for Gold. They should be ashamed.

So PS4 for me no matter what unless Sony came out with some crap, suckier than what MS is doing, wont happen though. Sony this time around wants all the gamers.
