$100 says PS4/Xbox games will go up by at least $10 .

The online passes don't bother me since I rarely ever play online. What I would like to see them do is sell you the game for $49 and then give you the option for the $10 online pass. At least on the multiplayer heavy games.

Also, there are some rumors out there that it's actually the publishers requesting the ability to block used games - if true, it won't matter what console you are on, you'll be paying for it.
Edit: But, if true - that still only means the only restrictions for PS4 will be if you want play online, not offline. Different situation with MS. |

All the more reason I hope they don't kill the used game market.

I don't think this (for either console) will make much of a change for anyone buying used games at Gamestop/Best Buy/etc. I think it's people that sell on Craigslist/Mom&Pop game stores/etc that will see the problems.

I'm not sure how an increase in cost, by say 10, will influence my game buying. Granted, I rarely buy a new game. Last two were NBA2k13 and BF3.
I'd say I'd be even more selective with new games. Could be a different ball game for me if the used market goes by the wayside. Haven't read up at all on that subject.

I think you'll see both systems at some point going digital download only - eliminating the discs. MS is obviously set up the One for that, hell they are basically setting their system up with that in mind - PS4 is likely set up for it as well. Personally, I would prefer the digital/no disc route - but that's me. The only real issue I have with the One at this point is the daily online verification (although rumors are they are already changing that to 7 days or something). |

Not a fan of the digital only option either. I like being able to get some money back for games I no longer play. NOW that being said, if they put together Steam like sales then I would feel differently.

I agree. It doesn't REALLY affect me because the first thing I do when I get on my 360 is sign into Live so I wouldn't ever be locked out of any single player game, but it's definitely an problem if there was a major issue with our internet provider.

If they would drop the digital price a little bit to accommodate for no disc/case/etc, I'd never buy another actual disc again. |

sometimes we would take the xbox on vacation with us but there was no internet connection. With their new policy it would just be a brick.
