Jonathan Bester from ITF Gaming writes: For some time now, one of the biggest fears in the gaming community has been that Microsoft, and for a while even Sony, would implement some sort of Draconian locking system, which would prevent console owners from either trading in or even loaning their games to a friend.
TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
Say what you like, but virtual farming is big business. And that means the release of Farm Tycoon onto the Xbox ecosystem should appeal.
Whether it's entering a zen state during DPS or the rush of dopamine on its completion, Destiny 2's Raids excels in multiplayer teamwork.
... but the sheer fact that I can't simply loan a game out to a friend for him to enjoy, is reason enough to not want this console.
(Among the many other reasons they've given us...)
I like to buy pre-owned games sometimes, especially with games I'm not sure about. This has put me off the Xbox One.
NO BUY
i get all my games from gamefly. No word yet if there is going to be a rental deal worked out, im assuming not. If there is no deal with Microsoft One ill be going the ps4 route.
Ive had gamefly for almost 3 years now & have played basically every major release to come out this gen & a lot of not so major ones. Dear god ive played 199 games this gen.
I like to buy used games later on in it's cycle, maybe to replay some classics that have dropped down greatly in price.
O well, I'll just stick to Sony.
