And it just deletes the data (licence) allowing you to play the game obviously ... because you've sold it. Whats the issue.

dont care, I dont buy used games, and dont sell old games, but the only thing that would make me buy x1 is if they have different kinds of exclusive games like playstation, and hopefully not shooters galore, and hopefully the controller is still as comfortable as the 360 one, we'll see at e3

So you don't own the download on your own xbox one? Even PC users don't have this crap to put up with.

What download? You mean the game disc that you installed to the HDD? Because no, after you sell it to gamestop or whatever you obviously don't own it anymore lol thats why they delete the license to stop you from continuing to play it.

...you keep your achievements and save data though (hopefully) if you sell the game you sold it since its tied to your game account it's not that bizarre Also we kinda got it. MS has gone crazy over the used game gig. Just buy games new and I guess stay clear of steam you can't return Sh** there either lol. I love the drama around this. You hardly get money for trading a game in anyway its straight criminal. The only problem I see genuinely is renting games. all this technicallity Bull people are crying bout doesn't really matter. if microsoft addresses the rental games reasonably then people should stop crying.

Then you take the 10 minutes to install it again the second time? Seriously, this is a pretty dumb complaint.

This is the same report reported on three times today, with nothing officiual from MS, But the Cow circle jerk continues, lol. You guys leap at any potential bad news for MS when this is only a repeat of a earlier article from a overseas vendor, lol. Cows are looking beyond pathetic today.

When I get rid of games, I delete the game saves because it becomes useless because I got rid of the game. Achievements are part of you profile and has nothing to do with getting rid of the game.

I still fail to see the problem though, why should you be able to play a game that you sold? :P Not even Sony lets you do that.

The issue is that M$ is trying to get money of used game sales. You cannot sell it to your friend, or give it away for free. You gotta go to retailers that have agreed to Microsoft's terms and conditions and have integrated the company's cloud-enabled azure preowned technology.

M$ is the devil.

I disagree even though I like the cool picture of the 9th Dr in your sig. That was an awesome Season finale and I can't wait to watch the 50th anniversary episode....

...how is this different to if you sell a game now? Your install is useless once you've sold the disk, and you can't play the game anymore. All this trade in stuff is going to do is mean you get even crappier prices for trading in games than you do now.

The difference is that it cuts out the individual market. I CAN take a game to Gamestop now. But I can just as easily sell it on Ebay to a consumer. This practice microsoft wants to push would make Gamestop a complete monopoly in used game trading and selling.

that's a different issue of consumer rights.  People seem to be getting all upset that the xbox erases your game data/license once you trade in the game

louisfoxton
I told myself that after I got the red ring for the first time.. Anyone who falls for this new system deserves to be ripped off. People should be smart enough to see when they're getting shafted, I really hope people take notice and make this new Xbox a complete and utter failure. A devastating failure.

OMGOMG brilliant marketing ploy:
-Marketing company makes TV advertisement for a videogame or whatever.
-During the ad it says in a clear loud voice "XBOX Watch x (HBO or whatever)"
-All Xbox Ones switch to HBO or x.

That is fantastic!
DO THIS evil marketing dudes. DO IT.

Oh yeah shit, I didn't think about that. Well that really does suck, no wonder Gamestop were happy with what they were doing with used games.

Well, duh. As long as saves and achievements remain untouched it is quite obviously it would erase the data,
