Xbox One May Not Be Able To Be Sold Used

Even more bad news for the Xbox One. Microsoft isn’t commenting on whether the system can be sold used right now. This is an odd thing because if it was able to be sold into the second hand market then they would come out and say it.

[JoGam]

Damn if true that's crazy. Things getting worse and worse.

[wishingW3L]

when you think something can't get any worse just remember, it can!

[shivvy24]

when you think something cant get any worse just remember someone in africa is being chased by a tiger

[Skips]

Almost every announcement or leak for the Xbox One just points to doom for the console. Meanwhile, practically every announcement for the PS4 get better and better. lol. Either to the benefit of PS or a jab at Xbox.

What's next?

Sony announces that the PS4 can play used Xbox One games!?

[DARK WITNESS]

That would be a Lion dude, Lion... lolol

Just remember, when things can't get any worse... There is a poor kid in Africa with NO internet connection. He is going to be stuck with the xbox 360 for the rest of his life.

[Serg]

@Sonic

Now that the hardware is so damn similar, you actually may be on to something here haha. The hardware wouldn't need to be emulated, which is the most performance taxing thing, just the OS backend...

[Blachek]

Lol that would be funny.

Same hardware, developers, publishers, disc drives, inter connectivity... if MS ever decides that they are in the wrong industry it wouldn't take much to do an update and enable everything

[abzdine]

i never thought it could get any worse than the few countries where the live will work!
this is clearly the best thing i have ever heard!!
good job guys

[xHeavYx]

What's next? Xbox beating up little kids?

[nix]

if you think something can't get worse just remember that someone is pushing the door instead of pulling it.

[kneon]

@DARK WITNESS

Actually hippos kill more people than any other animal in Africa. But they don't do a lot of chasing, they just drag you into the water.

[xHeavYx]

You seem like a mix between a fanboy and an used cars salesman, the funniest thing is that your profile says "I am in no way, shape, or form a so called "Fanboy". Right, that's what I thought after seeing your user ID.
I can give you plenty of reasons why someone would want to sell "their Xbox One console when it provides all aspects of ones gaming and entertainment needs"
1) Something happened to this person's internet and was offline for over 24 hours, then realized that he was stuck with a $500 brick.
2) Someone finally realized how much of a rip-off it is to pay for Xbox Gold.
3) This one using my crystal ball that lets me see the future, M$' fee for used games ends up being true and higher than normal.
4) People realize that the Xbox is not as powerful as the PS4 and decide to switch.
5) People also realize that true exclusives are better than time exclusive DLC.
Should I keep going?

[mewhy32]

Wow. I'm so glad that I'm going with PS4!!!!! Micro$oft is cutting it's own throat with this stuff.

[Army_of_Darkness]

After replacing your xbone controller, your gonna have to pay an insertion fee in order for it to operate on your xbone console.

[ABizzel1]

If this is true I'm not buying one at all. This was the only way X1 was going to itself into my home, because I refuse to let MS make hundreds from me off of this console (I'll buy it used when it gets a price drop of at least $100).

[JoySticksFTW]

I just saw an xbone push an old lady down a flight of stairs!!!

[travelguy2k]

It really wouldn't make sense the M$ to block the sale of the system for 2 reasons.

1. If you want to sell it, you probably are not purchasing games for it. Since game sales are where they make their money they should want you to sell it on to another person who may in fact purchase games.

2. M$ might be losing money on the system for awhile, if you sell it forward to someone that will buy games, they did not lose money on the system sold a second time.

The second reason is a bit of a stretch though.

[blackbeld]

True things getting very ugly for M$oft.

"I’m not sure why a major retailer like GameStop would even stock this console if it makes so many hoops for gamers looking for second hand content to jump through."

[Gigaguy777]

@xHeavyx
1. There's no such thing as a "true exclusive" it's one way or the other. Exclusive or not.
2. The value of XBL Gold is the same as PS+ now, with the exception of being $10 more I think. So that's just flat out wrong.

[Enemy]

Lmao! Another day, another perfect opportunity to sh*t all over Xbox Ones' never-ending flaws.

[DragonKnight]

@Gigaguy: When Gold provides BRAND NEW games for free, or early beta invites, or basically everything PS+ offers for the same price, then you can say they are equal. As of now, they aren't PS+ is a MUCH better service.

[Mounce]

It's like Microsoft wants to shoot themselves not even in the foot, but the face. They don't want to survive and want to be obliterated from the console scene - They just don't want to do it silently, they want to cause a huge commotion so people won't constantly whine at them about when the next console is coming out. No one will even want to ask now.

[dredgewalker]

This is actually not an issue....who in their right mind would ever buy a second hand xbox one?

[ThanatosDMC]

Just imagine if the console ends up having some sort of RROD... you cant have your own console back after the reset or maybe you even lose all your games.

[loulou]

look at the voting... lol

this is getting ridiculous. i really cannot imagine this happening. anyway, i have no intention of reselling my xbox one once i have it

[SecondSon]

I heard Xbox One stole a sandwich from a starving child in Hungary!

[komp]

It will get worse when the product is in the shops... kids all walking around saying 'xbox off' etc...

Then when in party chat if someone says it (sound from speakers) 'xbox off' over the mic and peoples xbox go off...

Is the xbox off or on darling? said the wife.

Xbox off course, said the kid when asked what console he was playing on.

My xbox OFF ers better value then your XYZ.

Is the internet down or is the XBOX off? Was the question to parents when the game would not play.

Man this is going to be fun for a while....

[Mikelarry]

that was actually good

[Caffo01]

lol that was funny XD

[italiangamer]

My brain melted lol

[eclectified]

Crazy thing is, you're right. Whenever I'm on xbl with my friend talking about random stuff, he has to occasionally start yelling "cancel" at his kinect.

Last night was the best though because he said, " damn it man, I didn't even say xbox... sh!t, cancel!"

[mediate-this]

I think shivvy needs to go back to school, Tigers are not in Africa, that's india, and lions are in Africa...but you already knew that/

[torchic]

don't people get tired of all these Microsoft news articles? it's all too much.

I'm jaded.

[DiRtY]

If there is one website that knwos these things, it is gimmegimmegames.com!

[solar]

if MS doesnt explain you can sell a used Xbox 1, then might as well start getting the shoves and finish the grave MS already started digging themselves. because it's game over.

[ceballos77mx]

Next to E.T. Atari cartridges.

[marinelife9]

Xbone wants til death do you part?

Even if you're strapped for cash and need to sell your console?

[ravenl0rd]

Well, you can keep your xbox one until your death, but your games will not work because no doubt the servers will be shut down sometime after the system is old.

[SecondSon]

Scenario: 2015 Triple dip recession hits.

Spring
I lost my job and had problems paying the rent. One of the first things to go was my landline , my cable subscription and my internet connection.

Summer
Soon my savings were all gone so I began selling off my appliances and my furniture to pay my rent and buy food for Jimmy my son.

Autumn
After 3 months we could no longer afford the gas and electricity bills but luckily the fireplace kept us warm during the cold nights. Until I could no longer afford the rent and with just $50 in my pocket we were forced to seek a homeless shelter.

Winter
Jimmy had a cough for 2 months and I couldn't afford to buy him any medicine. The recession has hit everyone badly and no one looks twice at children in need anymore. The cold had reached down to his bones and it only got worse when I had to sell out blankets to the homeless guy with a guitar in exchange for some food.

Spring 2016
Jimmy passed away. His cough got progressively worse till he started coughing blood. I couldn't afford the $60 visit to the doctor so I never found out exactly what he had. All I have left is the Xbox One which I had been using as a pillow since my real pillow was stolen by some thugs.

I know its only a box but when I stare into its Kinect eyes I feel like it knows who I am and I know what I have been though, buying an Xbox is a bond stronger than marriage because you can't get a divorce, my Xbox will always be with me.

[Sevir]

Great, a license product that plays licensed games that arent yours even though you purchase it!!!

Keep it up MS your fans are looking to make sure they get their fix on the PS4.

[jmc8888]

...and you have to prove that you bought it by having it check in...even if you purchased it from them digitally.

...and meanwhile Kinect2 is beaming this info back to your local friendly NSA/CIA moron.

[iceman06]

It's like a you're licensed to have a console...with NO option to buy and own ANYTHING!

[GameSpawn]

Are you surprised that this would come from the same company that wanted to license use to your PC by having Windows 8 be subscription based?

Yeah! That happened. The community shot Microsoft down on Windows 8 before it even hit the market.

Soooo...what does Microsoft do? They apply the f-ing subscription model to Office and the damn Xbox One to coerce people into thinking this s@#& is OK so they can introduce Windows 9 with the same subscription model.

Imagine if you will, a future where you need to pay $50 a year to use your Xbox, another $50 a year to use your PC, and another $200 a year to use Office Professional on said PC, and say $20 a year to use Windows 9 RT on that lovely Windows tablet.

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS KIND OF BACKWARDS CRAP!!! Voice your opinion! Refuse to buy into this subscription based crap because all it is doing is telling Microsoft "Hey I'm OK with this, but let me grab my ankles first before you do anything else."

[Gamer-Z]

Holy crap, that means if somebody buys the thing they are pretty much stuck with it. I feel bad for all those uninformed casuals who will run out and by the X1 without even knowing what they are getting themselves into.

[Narutone66]

Don't underestimate the general population now, a lot of people who MS is selling this console to have internet. Right now, in social medias, these so called "casuals" are being informed of the restrictions in this console. Ironically, MS is betting on these casuals for the success of their console. It's a double-edged swords.

[buynit]

From an article i read here yesterday, it seems as if that is the plan.. To take advantage of the ones that dont look for details.. I just hope there isnt enough idiots to fall for it.

[lucaskeller1]

Whats fishy is its almost as if it was built for the NSA surveillance. Every feature sounds like it was custom for it, always camera listening and always online, or it won't function. But also no selling it so the NSA don't get confused with who they are saving data about.

[sAVAge_bEaST]

NSA is opening the Utah Data Center,.. this fall /release of xbone. Yotta bytes of info- thats over a trillion dvds of data.

[ajax17]

The first thing I thought of was: Say Whaaat?

[Jazz4108]

Why do people hope this rumor is true as its at hopefully. Is it you really dont care or is it allegiange to sony?

[Narutone66]

MS could easily debunk this rumor if they comes out and say that you could sell it used. But they chose to stay silent. Didn't you know, silence means "yes", that means the rumor is true.

[RedHawkX]

so why again do some people want to get an xbox one? seems like the only reason to is if you want to torture yourself.

[nosferatuzodd]

damn xbox is going down hill well its bin on a down hill clime since kinect

[maximaz]

As it stands, it cant be sold brand new either, if you catch my drift.

[MYSTERIO360]

I think the only worse situation MS could find themselves in right now is if its officially confirmed that Kinect 2.0 actually does spy on you.

[ArchangelMike]

It figures that this may well be the case. More anti-consumer bs from M$. I bet retailers are going to love the this gen. /s

[Sharius]

if this is true then i belive the PS2 era will be all over again, except this time we have indie devs join into party, that will be one of the crazy gen ever

[sAVAge_bEaST]

can't wait, with all of gaming's brothers and sisters under one tent,, with a company that currently cares.

[Astargatis]

The next info about Xbox one will be that we will have to go to Mount Doom to destroy the ONE...

[Fishermenofwar]

Bubbles for that...Ha Ha

[adorie]

Lmao. +1

[Lou-Cipher]

RROD is also an easy way to destroy your Xbox.

Turn on your launch Xbox, and you have a 90% chance of an explosion. (at least that is how the launch 360's were)

[komp]

You know what info I have either missed or just not been stated yet?

Where is the physical ON/OFF button on the thing?

I would really like to know. Thanks.

[unknownhero1123]

there's no button. in order to turn on the xbone you have to kill a kitten in front of the kinect. Then the xbone will turn on. Don't get me started on turning it off. It involves justin beiber, a strap-on, and mayo.

[T2]

@unknown - wow if you thought of that in less than a minute, you should be a standup comic cuz that was genius LMAO

[TheDarpaChief]

Nah. Just all shipments will be handled by FedEx

[nosferatuzodd]

lol very good lol bubble

[Mikelarry]

lol come on did we expect less. i mean if they were blocking used games it only makes sense in ms little bubble to want to stop you from selling the item used. so even if you regret purchasing one you are stuck with it for life like AIDS

[Why o why]

Aids is a bit extreme..... maybe herpes

[TheDarpaChief]

Id say its like having james woods as a friend

[airgangstarr]

what about if ur xbox breaks what are u gonna do about ur used games an all that shit then bein ur gonna be on another console better make another gamer tag an keep it on ur friends list for 30 days an hope ur xbox doesnt break by then so u can share ur own games thing is a nightmare they done fucked it up they should amke a game on ps4 were u go after an kill the microsoft ceo

[FITgamer]

Yeah you'll definitely be able to recover everything it'll just be a pain in the arse. If those overheating issues are true there will be plenty of people to explain the process.

[Jazz4108]

You can sell used games on one the same as Ps its up to third paryy to restrict. You can even give your games on one to someone in another condolr. Here is the proof gor thosr saying no trading on the one snd gamesyop snd bestbuy have allready confirmed this ane ms should not even have to answer a question if you fan sell your system. Sony has not said you could either and its just stupid. Anyways here is the truth on turning used games into retailers and sony has the exact same policy

[Jazz4108]

Microsoft also spelled out its policies on game lending, trade-ins and rentals. "In our role as a game publisher, Microsoft Studios will enable you to give your games to friends or trade in your Xbox One games at participating retailers. Third party publishers may opt in or out of supporting game resale and may set up business terms or transfer fees with retailers. Microsoft does not receive any compensation as part of this. In addition, third party publishers can enable you to give games to friends."

[Hadoukameha]

Lots of guys losing jobs at M$ soon.

[jmc8888]

In today's world, you fail upwards.

Expect these guys to get a promotion.

[Hicken]

What world am I living in, then?

[ThyMagicSword]

Yes, you cannot sell it used, but I will buy one used in the near future of 7-8 years for a chunk of Euros. I bet, my 4 years old Cousin will enjoy it... that's the main reason of buying it.

[Moonman]

What a waste of space. That means all your $60 games hold no value after you take the plastic off and your "game system" is a DUD after you open the box. Enjoy!

[True_Samurai]

Rumor? Pass >_>

[badz149]

with the XBone, almost if not ALL of them have come to be proven true! so...don't quick to throw this one out of the window yet!

EDIT: I just noticed the pun about throwing this "ONE" out of the window. pun not intended

[krazeecain]

I'd like to throw all of the "one's" out of the window actually...

[from the beach]

Probably just subject to the same rules as selling games.

[SexyGamerDude]

They should just get out the console business.

[Z501]

What happened to the "WAIT TIL E3" chant! Wasn't these questions supposed to be answered AT LEAST by Tues? Microsoft is stalling. It's going to turn into "WAIT TIL TGS", "WAIT TIL GamesCon", "WAIT TIL GDC", "WAIT TIL PAX" etc...

[Bhuahahaha]

they didnt say it was this year
so w8 till another e3

[ThyMagicSword]

I will buy one to do MS a favor after failing hard day after day. Someone must give them satisfaction, because I fear many suicides there, if the Situation goes on...

[duplissi]

way to take one for the team.

[krazeecain]

No man don't even give them your money. Every console they sell supports these kinds of anti-consumerist policies. The best thing we can do is not only avoid buying the xbox, but ACTIVELY CONVINCE OTHERS to avoid it as well.

[latincooker214]

damn microsoft damn the things you doing to your fanboys WOW good luck to the gamers getting the XboxOne you going to need it.

[Narutone66]

I have a hunch gamers aren't going to buy the Xbox One. The people being targeted by the Xbox One are rich snobs who want to brag that they bought a $500 hands free remote control for their 102-inch 4K TV.

[Bzone24]

Lol. So a support person doesn't know the answer to this and that's confirmation? Anything to trash the Xbox for you guys I guess.

[Mikelarry]

a console support who does not have an answer to a support question is all i am going to say

[Bzone24]

If you look there are things that support doesn't know about a console that hasn't been released yet. They basically only know what's been announced. Or at least that is all they will answer.

[Neoninja]

Agree Bzone24.
I wanted to say something to the likes of what you said. Honestly I know the hot thing is to bash the X1 right now, but come on guys.

[ZoyosJD]

A lot of us were hopeful. We tried not assuming the worst.

Look where that got us...broken dreams.

[UNGR]

In recent news we decided to jump to conclusions to stir up more bad PR, aren't you glad we (journalists) are here to make crappy articles for hits? Ask me if I'm a serial killer, I'll proceed to tell you that "I can't comment on that". Now would that be compelling evidence to make a crappy article designed for quick hits? I'd say so. This site will be getting voted down, this is the problem with gaming journalism.

[StanSmith]

Yes because all the journalists jumping to conclusions were proven wrong by Microsoft at E3 wasn't they?

Oh, wait...

[UNGR]

You mean all of the journalists that simply copied one persons leak. That's not journalism, it's plagiarism. Giving it the 9.5/10 IGN twist doesn't make it an original piece of news. Go figure you're the embodiment of the character you named your profile after. Ignorant, and ignorant, a shocking combo.

[StanSmith]

"Go figure you're the embodiment of the character you named your profile after. Ignorant, and ignorant, a shocking combo."

[Why o why]

Chill. No need to be defensive 100 percent of the time. Sad thing is most of the rumours were true.. you have to suck it up.. Lets hope this isn't true BUT if it is, will you still turn a blind eye to ms's crap. You seem quite vehement when discuss sony's misgivings..

Maybe you should take a break from the whole internet until the storm settles... Judging by your reaction you're having a hard time dealing with the ish storm MICROSOFT caused.....not anybody else...MICROSOFT o_0k

[UNGR]

Did I say they were false? Conjecture is conjecture, condoning it is condoning stupidity. God forbid I'd want my species to make progress with rational thinking.

"Yes because all the journalists jumping to conclusions were proven wrong by Microsoft at E3 wasn't they?"

NONE did, they copied a leak. Regardless if it turned out to be correct or not is irrelevant, it's conjecture.

People here seem to think defending something means you're wrong, when I was simply pointing out a fact. If people can't be bothered to do basic research. I haven no problem with what Microsoft did, it will never effect me. I see how it can effect others and they avoid it, rightfully so, but this crap is getting out of hand. We're at the point were giving credit where it's due is now considered trolling, can you tell me what's wrong with that picture please? I need to know I'm not the only one seeing this.

[Why o why]

You're preaching to the choir. Been here since 07 so I know fud and flamebait all too well.

Conjecture it may be BUT many of the things people thought was just that turned out to be true. Now journalists, unquote, now see ms's missteps as food for hits and articles for valid reasons even if you aren't affected or think they are.

If it was sony that had a 'deal with it' guy, or 'those without net should buy a 360' guy or blocked used games and prevented renting or borrowing, they'd be getting it in the neck too. Swings and roundabouts...remember the 2 jobs to buy a ps3...yeah..

If this turns out to be true would you apologise for going off.....doubt it, you'd probably be fine with it all anyway.

Some people just wont be as passive as you are towards the crap, and it is crap, ms are doing. Just like you aren't passive towards sony's misgivings....see how it works

[T2]

yes and do you care to comment on how wrong those leaks were? Now you are all worried about plagarism? You are on a global crusade to end plagarism, is that it?
Or are you just another weak Microsoft shill downvoting every rumour about the xbox, which by the way, 90% of the bad ones have turned out to be true.

END PLAGARISM! LOL

[johnniejay]

Boy Microsoft cant win for losing

[talocaca]

Maybe they know the Xbone has a high failure rate so they want to make sure people don't buy it until they can fix the problems?!?

There most be a reason for all this stupidity!

[Foxgod]

Why would that not be possible, you delete your profile and wipe the console, and voila its in factory settings.

That option was already in the 360.

[Z501]

Because it's Microsoft. What other 'optons' WERE in the 360 that's not in the XB1?

[Foxgod]

None, the Xb1 can do more then the 360, including sharing games with 10 friends all over the planet, as well as selling your games to friends that are at least 30 days in your list, as well as playing a game without a disc.

[badz149]

there will be restrictions regarding that, I seriously believe!

this is M$ we are talking about and let's just hope that I will be proven wrong in this and somehow the anti-consumer M$ will freely allow you to share your library with whoever 10 people you like!

[Z501]

In response to Foxgod's comment above (I can't reply)

"None, the Xb1 can do more then the 360"

I'm not disputing "do more", but as an example. How bout the XB1 headset issue? Same as the 360's?

[Foxgod]

You dont need an headset, you can talk to people without it.

[sAVAge_bEaST]

@foxgod -10 family members on SAME CONSOLE.

[PSjesus]

Not because im a PS fan,but lets face it we all buy some retro consoles,last month i bought a used Sega mega drive(genesis) with greatest titles for less than 75$....after 10 years from now you'll never be able to buy an old Xbone and if you wanna play old games you have to buy it from eshop with high price.that's the stupid strategy of M$ and if Sony follow it's the end of console market, every one well become a PC gamer cos it's cheaper ..... MS used it's fan base as a host for media Box in every living room

NO. AFTER May 21st (May 22nd) we had tons of questions. But were told "Wait Til E3". E3 Has come & gone.

No one is jumping to conclusions. It is June afterall. Almost a month later.(after the reveal) How long are we supposed to wait for clear cut answers? Launch, i'm assuming. Again, Microsoft is stalling for time. But they've had all the time in the world. It's not like they're making AAA new IP's for the 360/

[ThyMagicSword]

Microsoft is doing well. Their plans will have a hard time with reality. But for now they're doing good, defending the One will all their Forces. One time serious to yourself, which parent wouldn't defend his beloved child? I mean, you get Money for your children. But is this Money enough to saturate all of your children? Only time will tell about Xbox One, I'm pretty sure they will make it through... despite the Problems. There will be always sheep like humans buying crap products, see Apple, Samsung and the Facebook community buying friends (contacts) with real Money in order to blow themselves up in front of dumb People like themselves and Jonathan Blowhead.

[Eyesoffiction]

Damn, they are neck deep in shit.

[badz149]

I thought they have long drown

[ThyMagicSword]

Lies will be praised and loved. They're all living a lie, it's sort of a comfort Zone, I don't think that the critics are crushing them that hard like they're doing, People without shame and much Money will always find a way through Dante's Inferno, 'cause the devil is corrupt. The Backbone of Society is corrupt...

May I interest you in a toilet as well to go along with that piece of shi....

[mcstorm]

Ok so it is a peace of s**t you happy now run along little boy and go and tell all your little friends how you are now a big boy because you called a Xbox one a peace of s**t.

Grow up and stop being a fan boy. I don't click on ps4 articles to say I don't like the ps4 and say everyone should not get one.

There is a reason why we have choices in life and just because you don't like something dose not mean other people don't like it.

Just like I like windows phone over android or ios, or I would rather watch an ice hockey game over football. Dose not mean im wrong or that other people are wrong we just like different things and that is why we have different products on the market.

[Rivitur]

Ah so you are a fanboy lol... I twill tell my Xbox live friends, steam friends, and friends on my Vita about the XB1 being a piece of sh!t.

Also the comment section is for stating opinions so don't try to insult me just because my opinion varies from yours.

: P

[stuntman_mike]

Also throw in that the xb1 wont even be supported in certain regions?? It's getting worse with each announcement.

[TheDarpaChief]

How is last of us everyone?

[Rivitur]

I hear the campaign is longer than the XB1's life cycle.

[mydyingparadiselost]

I've been wondering whether the console could be sold used, I'm glad someone asked. I would like to get a better answer than 'no comment' though...

Where is rock bottom for Xbox One? So now you can buy a $500 piece of hardware and can't resell if used.

You can always make a divorce by throwing it out of the window.

[GABRIEL1030]

Sure.....But Xbone is always watching... crap....she'll know all your dirty secrets...and later she will bribe you... expensive divorce!

[sly-Famous]

Im trying to understand how this will work, how will they be able to detect that the machine changed hands? Through kinect?

[stage88]

Just when I thought it couldn't get worse...

[Takwin]

Microsoft has always been an innovator, a trailblazer, a true visionary - when it comes to ways to screw the customer or entire economies over.

Their R&D for asshattery must be enormous.

[LNDCalling]

As much as I am in to bashing MS for their practices lately this isn’t true and the full Twitter exchange explains that console is indeed re-sellable, the initial question wasn't phrased very well.

De-bunked on Noegaf already.

@XboxSupport2 yes, I just want to make sure I can sell it if I'm not happy with it after I've used it.

@ryanjs242004 There would be no issue with selling the hardware if you decided not to hang on to it. ^RH

@XboxSupport2 ok! Thanks! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't like the games that you can only sell to participating retailers.

On a more positive note, the PS4 looks pretty damn awesome and indeed smaller than anticipated!

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

Neogafs very own EviLore testing the PS4's spinning capabilities:

PlayStation (PS4) and plaids clearly making a comeback in 2013! :)

[GABRIEL1030]

Hey, nice contribution, with your commentary this misunderstanding could be closed, thanks for the information. Glad to read a good news for Xbox one users.

[ger2396]

Maybe they didn't think that far ahead. They assumed you'd never want to get rid it.

[LNDCalling]

Naaah.. if they were thinking that far ahead they would have seen you'd never want to get it!

[Ares90]

Overly Attached Xbox One

You can't sell me again

I'll be tied to your account forever

[jmac53]

A commenter on Neogaf who predicted alot of what was shown at the E3 Xbox presser said 2 things: 1) Titan fall is a timed exclusive and 2) the DRM is a lot worse than what MS is showing. This could be it.
Edit: he said alot more than 2 things, but those were my 2 important takeaways.

[LNDCalling]

Cboat, but I took that to infer they were going to be worse, but could of course mean the region lock and limited release countries. Either way it isn't this as console CAN be sold on!

[spike]

I wonder if you can watch Blu Ray movies with no XBOX LIVE

[Nunchez]

Every stupid thing they say I think its the final nail in the coffin for them. But no they have to find a way do some ridiculous thing like this. We need more place on the coffin for nails.

[oweowe]

WHAT!! Pre-order cancelled!

[e-p-ayeaH]

wow this is beyond absurd if true.

[josephayal]

Would not be surprised to see the console tied to your IP address

[Bonerboy]

Might not be able to be sold used!? I would figure their main concern would be that it might be a very difficult sell as "new".
Arrogant bastards are delusional assuming they will do well this gen.
Regardless if this rumour has been debunked, its all negative PR and people will remember these 'bad' points (more so than the factual positives, if there actually are any positives)and become even more wary than they already are, factual or not.
MS has proven repeatedly that they cant be trusted through misinformation, withholding information, and greedy shady business practices etc.
This is all rather humourous watching them repeatedly stumble over their own feet on this one. Restrictions, money, restrictions, TV, restrictions, sports, restrictions, money...did I mention money? Pass.

[Akira2020]

Greed can be a cruel mistress......ain't that right Micro-lost?

[PunisherRevenge]

Lol....wow you guys are so funny.....lol the console is not even out yet and you guys are worried about whether or not it could be sold used. Since when has any console make ever commented on this? Why is there so much hate for Microsoft and the X1? This is starting to become a sad generation for gaming and Im starting to get embaresed to even call myself a gamer. This is why every other industry bash gaming and dose'nt take it seriously. All gamers do is bitch and moan about dumb s###. If you don't like something then don't buy it simple as that. You don't have to go to every website and every Micosoft article and bash them. This is business and every company that has been assembled number one goal is to make as much money as possible. Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft all share this same goal. They are not here to cater to your every need. If it was up to us gamers everything would be free. These three companies don't really care about us, all they care about is money and profits we are just numbers to them. To all of the Sony fans out there, when was the last time Sony called you just see how you was doing since they really love you and care about like you say they do? Yeah that's right NEVER!!!!! You guys need to grow up and just play games like gamers are suppose too.....geeezzzz this is ridiculous.

[Relientk77]

Honestly with all these restrictions, I dont see any reason to buy an Xbox One

(btw games dont count, I could care less, Microsoft's policies are the nail in the coffin for me)

[BreakNeckSpeed]

'Is this rumour true? Hopefully'

People on this site sicken me. Who would want that? Only delusional fanboys with an affinity for a certain brand of console perhaps.

I read the follow up - http://i.imgur.com/4YLuYqZ....

"There would be no issue with selling the hardware if you decided not to hang on to it."

Extremely poor wording in the initial question. This is coming from someone who will not buy either consoles at launch.

[Goldenarmz]

I actually dont see why it COULDNT be sold used. No doubt it will have a "Reformat" feature that will completely wipe the system clean. At this point any accounts associated with it will be cleaned and deleted and in theory it should be like a new machine. So i guess at that point, you could sell it. Now, the only question is, if you wipe it will it in turn re-add your log in information and your games automatically or do you have to input this info yourself. Hmmmmm

[Master of Unlocking]

THE cherry on the cake! XD

[spinegrinder23]

shivvy24:

There is no tigers in Africa. lol

[VonBraunschweigg]

Nobody wants to buy your xBox One anyway so it doesn't really matter.

[PerryCaravello]

I remember before the X1 aka FAIL1 reveal, all o the xbox fanboys were claiming that the DRM stuff was false and we shouldn't jump to conclusions lol.

At this point what else is left.... This thing deserves to DIE!

I'm buying a PS4 because I'm a consumer, and I don't like the anti-consumer attitude from microsoft. Sony is at least still giving a fuck.

[AKR]

It's amazing how quickly the tides have turned. Just a few weeks ago; N4G was slamming the Wii U. Every 2 new news articles were some exaggerated doom and gloom.

Now that the XBOX One is being ravaged with all these bad points - we can all see which system will really slump this generation.

How could Microsoft make the successor to the successful XBOX 360 so bad? I mean really....You get something good going then you ruin it? It's like a bad movie sequel...

[TakahashiDemon]

It's likely with all the online requirements. It was what I was thinking too.

[vigilante_man]

FAKE! There is no way for them to stop you doing this.

Come on people. How can they possibly tie a console down to a user/location? It is the One (had to do it) ironic story that you can't trade your games whereas you CAN trade the console.

Will this week ever end for MS?

[TakahashiDemon]

Well, they're saying any countries that it isn't available in from launch can't use it even if they imported. So they must have some IP thing in there.

[vigilante_man]

You can block country-wide, I agree. But not individual consoles within a valid country.

The only reason they will block a country is because you need internet access to verify games (DRM). Seems petty to me. Surely the more the merrier.

[Toadsanime]

Having asked Xbox Support on Twitter whether this will be the case or not, I was given this vague response:

'No info on that at this time but much more info will be released in the coming months.'

I assume there's not been a definitive decision on it yet.

[gamingisnotacrime]

comedy to sony's ears

[Hillyhill]

THIS JUST IN!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!
XBOX ONE is holding Bill Gates hostage. XBOX ONE reportedly wants its times exclusive DLC back from Bill...
Prior to this hostage situation Mr. Gates was interviewed and said he could not use the DLC in his XBOX ONE anyhow, reason being as it was used timed DLC which can not be downloaded for use on his PRE OWNED XBOX ONE. Mr. Gates reportedly likes to stare in amazement at the beautiful shape of his PRE OWNED XBOX ONE and looks at game cases for XBOX ONE games on the shitter, as he can not essentially use his PRE OWNED XBOX ONE at all!!!!! .... Microsoft swears there will be a resolution to this outbreak by XBOX ONE and says there is more content to be shown in the future as this is very important to Microsoft!!!!!

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Can't even sell the console used LOL.

Yes, yes I know its a rumor but if its true....LOL

[Subzero200]

Microsoft you F***ed up big time, and do they really think people dont care about any of this after the fact? Greedy bastards people buy things to own them not be charged again, because they want to share them with their friends.

[turnerdc]

LOL, did this site intentionally cut out the rest of the tweet...here it is:

http://i.imgur.com/4YLuYqZ....

"Xbox Support 2: There would be no issue with selling the hardware if you decided not to hang onto it. ^RH"

Very wrong and deceiving of the site to only report part of the tweet.

[ArtificiallyYours]

Heh, that's just damn odd.

[oscarcat59]

Mmmmm does everyone believe every rumor they hear? Just asking.

[batbatz]

oh you have got to be kidding to its completely worthless, well youre a moron to buy it in the first place

[a_bro]

What the flying f**k? I thought the whole banning thing alongside with disallowing you to play your games was enough, but holy s**t...

[badkolo]

wow hes a little upset https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Allowen]

This just seems some thing that only would happen in a dream.

SO far I don t understand why MS invested more then 1 billion dollars to develop new games since it will only work in 21 countries.

Plus all this DRM and policy regarding xboxone is upseting too many potential buyers that by the end of this gen if this video game sells 30M it will be some thing ultra impressive.
And all the cash that MS put on this new project, to sell only 20-30M would be a failure I belive.

[Plagasx]

Dafuq is MS doing to themselves?

[Diesel888]

Forget buying it used, one can have a difficulty buying it new if you are outside of the US. If I travel, I need to activate my games first in the US so I can play it overseas. So what happens when I want to purchase a digital game overseas...do I need to take a flight back to the US just so I can play my games...Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!

[strigoi814]

Yup im thinking the same. With all those restrictions i can see this console being locked to the users account..and with all things M$ will say you can sell it to our list of partners

[Prcko]

bad news
