Xbox 720: 10 Rumours We Hope Are True

4. Pre-Owned Games Are In

You€™ve probably heard the vicious rumours by now that the next generation of consoles will look to place a block on preowned games, effectively laying waste to an entire fringe industry. Make no mistake, in a free market, effectively barring us from buying and selling our own property is nothing short of an affront to consumer rights and should be regarded as such. Thankfully, most of those in the know believe this to be wild speculation and in fact not true. If Microsoft were to wall out the pre-owned games market, I€™d foresee a mutiny. The gaming industry loves to complain about the pre-owned market but one thing is for sure; it won€™t curry favour by spitting the dummy out until it gets its own way. So let€™s hope that pre-owned games are in; if they€™re not, I€™ll certainly be picking a different console for the next generation.
