Sorry MS. I'm out. Cameras/microphones in my house always listening? Nope. Telling me what I can do with games I buy? Nope. Not allowing me to take a disc over to my friends homes to play? Nope. Making me buy used games from you at a price determined by you and then making me buy an access code if required by the developer? NOPE.

That's the thing you misunderstood me. Microsoft is not imposing any fee to play used games. They are leaving it up to the developers. What Microsoft did was take it a step further. Looking at both extremes a developer may not pose any type of fee to play its game used. On the other end a developer may require you to pay a fee to "unlock" the ability to PLAY the game. What this is is a step further than what we have now where developers put in a code that is required to play ONLINE with the game. If you bought the game used and what to play online you would have to pay for that. This whole setup also helps to combat people who tried to cheat the system with a Jtag Xbox and had the ability to download as many games as they liked for free
