Used games are supported, just it appears a fee is needed to play them.

Well that still puts me off massively. It's a bit cheeky of Microsoft to do that really.

Agreed. And it appears selling on eBay, or elsewhere privately, is a thing of the past. Can only trade in at stores that support MS' cloud system.

Also you can never borrow a game again.

Currently a petition ongoing to stop Sony doing the same: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=568033

Yeah, I spotted that petition. Has an amazing chance of being seen as GAF is the biggest gaming forum around and actually has people in the industry that visit the site and post on it.

Probably were just waiting to see the reaction to Xbox doing it first though

edit: here is a link to it http://uk.gamespot.com/news/sony-on-...-thing-6404470
We're hoping they won't but, it's still not known for sure. I'm concerned due to EA ditching online passes. Why would they ditch them altogether if Sony allow used games to work fine without a fee or anything(?)

I'm fearful Sony will follow suit. If they do, E3 bombs big time.

GAF get stuff done. I wish I could get a working e-mail address to register :/

Sony has the advantage here right now, they must be careful they don't squander it.

That part sucks unfortunately about GAF, needing a non-free email. Who's your ISP? Can you not get an email account from them?
