The Xbox One is coming – sell your used video games now

Microsoft’s Xbox One reveal on May 21 left the gaming community with more questions than answers. Will it play used games? What about backwards compatibility? Does it have to be connected to the Internet all the time? Will Microsoft abandon the Xbox 360 the way it did the original Xbox? What’s up with cloud storage?

Right Now!

Sell used games for pennies to buy new incomplete games for 60usd or even more + dlcs. Only to rebuy the games you sold as HD remakes lol. Seems like a complete rip off to me.

[Cam977]

Exactly. Beginning last year I stopped trading in games unless for a superior edition of that game (ie: GOTY edition) because it just isn't worth it. Games cost lots new and the trade in value is about 1/4 of what we payed for it.

Not only does this build my collection, but it means I won't be wanting game's I've sold - I learned that the hard way.

Oh well, it won't happen again! Call me strange, but I enjoy looking over my collection every now and then. That means looking at the boxart and the manuals of OLDER games; newer game manuals rarely surprise me as they used to. I used to enjoy reading game manuals on the PS2 and earlier because they were interesting. Take a look at the Silent Hill 1 manual, or even the original MGS manual, they're a toilet-worthy read!

Huge library of games = less desire to pick up new games = money possibly saved in the long run = win.

i have a better I idea..

I will keep my used games... keep my old xbox 360 to play them on and NOT BUY an XBONE !!

Job done !!

[r1sh12]

lol..sell your used games now??
Why..Its not like they will work on the Xone anyway.
Stupid idea

[MariaHelFutura]

Better idea- Just keep your 360.

[elhebbo16]

even better- Save up for a PS4.

[CynicalKelly]

Even better. Buy a PS3. That way you will get the exact same thing excluding a share feature..

It's a shame people are so blinded by brand name that they will throw all their money at companies to get what they bought years ago.

[elhebbo16]

@cynical only games I'm waiting for the PS3 is TLOU and GTA 5, why would I want to play any other 3rd party game later this year at a lower resolution and framerate when I could get the better one? I already saved up my money so there's no problem.

[PraxxtorCruel]

Even better, don't game at all.

[FrigidDARKNESS]

Article is totally lame and flamebait. Article doesnt make any sense at all.

[Jakens]

Haven't sold my older games yet.

[Roccetarius]

Sell my games? Hell no, i'll keep my collection.

[Inception]

You're telling me to sell my Tales of Graces f Day 1 ed, Disgaea 4 CE, and all of my PS2-PS3-3DS collection for Xbo...wait...never mind :P

Microsoft CEO Explains...

[OC_MurphysLaw]

bubs for the funny clip.....loved that part of the movie

[GreenRanger]

360 > One.

[Imalwaysright]

Yeah paying to play the online component of the games you already paid for doesn't seem so bad now does it?

[GreenRanger]

I wouldn't know.
I don't play online and i only have a Gold subscription because i got it for free.

[Kos-Mos]

Why do you bother commenting this? Why not wait for all the information?
Ps: I`ll never buy a micrsoft product again.

[nirwanda]

When I bought my house a 3 an a half years ago and needed some extra money I asked how much money I would get for a mint condition bioshock ltd edition with large metal big daddy figure and a mint condition ltd edition oblivion with map coin and novel and they offered me £5.
Its just not worth it unless it's a few weeks old and a trade in.

[urwifeminder]

Ready to trade all my gear for xboxone about 90 games and a console.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I am still not sure how i want to tackle this next gen...sell my old gear and games... both my ps3 and 360 will likely be getting replaced so its just a matter of when i pull the trigger i suppose

[kevnb]

I never sell my old games, and im disgusted by gamestop. why the hell do people buy used games to save $5 and trade in a bunch of games for almost no return? Console gamers aren't used to it, but slightly older digital distributed games at deep discounts are a much better solution for everyone. If we stick to the model we have now, there will be a crash.
