Tried out Deadlight on XBL.
It was pretty fun. |

I'm not going to watch a 5 minute video only to find out that your reeruned take had nothing to do with anything.
I would much rather you simply explain to me how Xbox is/was charging the used game retailers.

So the PS business model is "Hey, let's see what MS does. If they make money off of their ideas, we'll piggyback on it. If it doesn't work, we won't do it."? |

Basically, it says that Gamestop is crying because currently on used game sales they take 100% of the profit. With Xbox One, Gamestop will send 45% to MS & 45% to the publisher leaving them with only 10% of the profits. So the theory is that Gamestop will then have to charge higher prices for the used games than they already do in order to make the absurd amount of profit they currently do - which means that nobody will buy used games. And they are crying about Gamestop's stock price plummeting with the announcement of Xbox One as if anyone should really care. They've been ripping people off for years on the cost of used games & trade in value. |

It's not just about GameStop. It's also about me being able to sell my used games on half.com when I'm done playing them or being able to borrow a game from my friend (who buys a lot of games to my benefit . without paying a fee.

If my previous post is true about MS/PS making $0 on the used game market, why on earth would they even care if another used video game is sold? |

I did not watch the video. You still don't have any proof of Xbox charging used game retailers because it doesn't exist, you silly child. The last part of your post is too ironic to even be addressed.

It won't happen but it would be nice if consumers voted with their wallets and told MS to **** off and didn't buy the XBox One.
