MC2 Post 1625 Microsoft "blinks" based on boxed copies and pre-owned sales Restrictions




Has Microsoft made the right decision?



The company has abandoned plans for a 'digital first' console, turning to a model based on boxed copies and pre-owned sales. Have consumers won?

The internet won – that's the message flooding Twitter. Microsoft's attempt to restrict the sales of pre-owned games and to tie consoles in to a rigorous online authentication regime has been quashed. Xbox One games will now work like Xbox 360 games – you can buy them, then take them back to your local store to trade them in for something else, or just give them to friends. They won't be tied to you, or your Xbox account; they will be yours to own and keep – well, as much as any commercial media release is yours to own and keep, which is much more complicated than many of us understand.
