So it is a old leak, and things could of changed. Yet it is ovious Microsoft is really looking at doing a Always on, must be connected to the internet game console. Kind of like Steam - for your game system.
No used games (I guess they don't plan on selling this console through Gamestop?)
Maybe I'm getting old. I don't mind steam. .. but I never (EVER) buy a steam game the day it comes out. I wait for the discount or humble bundle. I don't pay full price for a game that I can't sell.
The only variation in this is I did buy Activision Blizzards Starcraft 2.. which I don't think you can sell.
I don't think I will get a console where I don't actually own the games, and can only rent the games for the full price I used to pay to BUY the game.
But looking how its headed. . .i'm sure all the games will be $10 bucks and you need to buy $80 bucks with of inapp crap to get the full functionality.
I'm really missing the days where I could turn over $50 dollars for a game, enjoy it to its fullest, and move on.
*sigh.
