New Xbox unable to play used games. Say what?!

If they do decide to get rid of physical games, I'll more than likely have a lot more money to put towards my collection of older items since there's no way I would buy something like that. I know a lot of you guys really like steam, but I have to have something I can physically touch or I don't collect it.

agreed. although I have a few games on steam. I prefer the physical copy. I only have a few PC games where I don't have a physical copy. Things like starcraft, you buy an account that works online, not the game...

if the ps4, xbox720 and wii require games to be bought online. They've lost me. Besides, datacaps would hurt their sales so bad.

I prefer physical copies as well.  They go all digital and I quit buying games.

Pretty much my sentiments. I appreciate the physical copy as much as the game (box art, manual, inserts, tangibility, etc).  The worst part is how it's all just a money making racket - not only do they not charge less for the digital copy, even though they don't have to manufacture a box, manual, etc, but they charge a PREMIUM for what they call a "special edition" that actually comes with this stuff with the download code in the "box" (like with the Marvel vs Capcom 2 re-release).

So digital only media can go fuck itself. I'll just be a pirate when it comes to this.

I agree with this completely. If the main consoles ever went digital only, I'll focus on classics instead.

Too bad game companies don't appreciate the box, art, etc.

Now-a-days manuals are 2-3 pages and are hardly informative. 360 boxes are super cheap and the tray that holds the disc is flimsy as hell and the artwork while usually cool, lacks any kind of info on the back at all....
