discs for me. i like to feel i own something.

forget digital. if they're charging the same price; i'm making the publisher pay for a disk, case, and manual/covers.

i find it ridiculous there's no digital discount. the publisher spends much less money there. why should they make more? (maybe if developers saw the extra, but not publishers ;-) )

i'm pretty sure i know where my xbox is heading, but i'm curious what others have to say.

i have an old 360 (2007) that was getting loud, so i decided to clean it (it's well past warranty ;))

it was quite dirty, but i swear the fans seem almost louder now than they were before (quite confident the shroud and everything else is sitting correctly)

weird thing is; it doesn't feel THAT hot, and doesn't get loud if i play arcade games, only retail games (and i've tried installing them with no change)

that's what confuses me. dashboard, movie watching, arcade; no worries. but a game.. i can't play more than half hour before it's too annoying and gets turned off.

pretty sure she's on her last legs, but do you think there could be something else i've overlooked? (would really like a few more months with it; kind of late to buy another 360)

kind of..

she's working, but i think she's on her last legs ;)

it's funny you know. always thought/heard the big deal with used games was places like ebgames/gamestop making cash off them. 

..with xbox's talk of tading games at "participating retailers", it's blatantly obvious that isn't the case.  they don't want us having any choice/control with what we do with our games when we finish them. 

ebgames/gamespot will likely participate.. so the only loss for the used game market is personal stuff; ebay and the like. pretty obvious we're their target. so the only thing you can do with your games when finished is give them to a friend, or get what they decide to give you at a participating retailer.

i could understand if games weren't doing well.. but it's one of the biggest entertainment markets right now, with AAA titles selling millions.

such a slap in the face (all of what they've announce so far is, really)  "you supported us, made us big.. thanks. but now we're gonna treat you all like criminals, checking up on you, and not give you choices on what to do with your spent collection"  (thats another thing, i usually sell my old console+collection to help pay for the new one.. i guess with these implementaions, that wont really be possible with the xbox1. unless i sell my gamertag with it (or the games and everything will be useless for whever buys it))

i hope people will stand against supporting this. and if not, you all deserve what's coming next generation.  (maybe not allowing others to play your games with you at your house? seing as they mention they allow you to do that as a selling point for the xbox1 (which was comical to me they announced it like it's some new feature or somethng we didn't expect) )
