Wow.... That's so dumb! It's only gonna cause people to pirate more, heheh. Games are like $80 new, and what, $40, maybe less for used.

MS should really redesign the controller though, that thing is just so awkward and huge

Compare the Xbox controller to the Xbox 360 controller, they did streamline the design making it less bulky and easier to handle.

The controller is fine the way it is - a bit heavy, but ideal.

Ideal, but also a bit heavy?
Perfect sentence.

Nothing, not even you, is perfect Sweeney. Haven't you gotten tired of searching out my posts and making fun of me?

What a delightfully loaded question. I don't search out your posts, you narcissist.

Nevertheless, you haven't answered my question. I'll rephrase it: Haven't you gotten tired of seeing my posts and then making fun of me for them?

If I had, I probably wouldn't do it anymore.
And you wonder why I think you're an imperceptive numpty.

Now stop derailing the topic with this insane persecution complex of yours.

Ok, but forgive me if I'm wrong, didn't YOU start this - my 'persecution complex' you believe I have was nothing except a couple of questions.

Let it go, man. You're looking pretty unstable right now.

Trying to troll a troll?


that must be the reaction of failure.

Alright. It's gone.

At least Microsoft brought in some designers to make their control look ORGANIC and feel ERGONOMIC.

How old is the DualShock? A relic of the 90s, by God, sits in your hand like it was drawn in CAD by an engineer and then sent to manufacture.

The only good thing I can think of to come from this is Game Stop losing significant business.

"It has also been reported that the Xbox 720 may include some sort of anti-used game system, with users encouraged to download cheaper games via Xbox Live."

Just remember it's not for certain yet.

[Elindoril]

*cough*unhackable*cough* didn't help either.

Do you never pay attention to the scene? It's been able to have homebrew and play downloaded games for a while now.

Hell, getting a GO is much better if you're just pirating games because of the nice 16GB storage space instead of paying for memory cards for a normal PSP.

[Feral]

I've never owned any xbox system and if this does happen, I don't ever plan to.

[Blissey]

Even when the Xbox 720 is released, it will be using an ATI Radeon either 6570 or 6670 GPU, which, upon the xbox's release in 2013 (as reported) will ALREADY be 2 generations behind upon launch.

There actually was nothing wrong with it. Its design is ideal, but its slightly heavy when it was implemented.

Try harder next time.

Anyways. On topic.

Implementing anything of this sort would violate the US copyright law that states that you are allowed to resale or lend your games. They would break the law by implementing this. It wont be implemented.

Silly rumors.

l2argue, iargue. 'Ideal' in the context in which you've used it is an opinion. You shouldn't assert your opinion as fact. Personally, I prefer dualshock controllers to Xbox's offset control scheme. Perfection or ideal-ness is in the eye of the beholder. And I value symmetry.

Oh God no, please...

Unless the phrase is prefaced with "It's fine the way it is". Not "the way it was designed".
That explicitly rules out your wildly overreaching interpretation of his words.

We've established that your reading comprehension hasn't yet improved.

[Pilot]

You know why it's called the xbox 720? When you see it, you turn 720 degrees and walk away

And it only took 19 posts.

[mobster281]

I wont be getting the next xbox if they do this.

[Frank274]

Another reason I would never buy an xbox. PS3 all the way, baby!
