I was going to post about the being able to trade games etc. and taking them to your friends house and whatnot but Zelkova beat me to it. This opens up a weird bunch of possibilities. Possibilities I don't even want to talk about cause I think they'll be creepy lol.
But the used game thing is the problem. Physically it doesn't even make sense. You buy a game for $60 and then wish to sell it physically to a friend for say $30. The friend has to pay the $60 again for the game if it is still classified as new. Your friend has just paid $90 for a game instead of paying $60 for a new copy. This will kill off physical sales. But Microsoft has a plan for that they do, sell your games online through them! Yay, now you can pay only $30 for that game friend! Only where does the money go? Microsoft's pockets. What exactly does the seller get in return? Nobody knows yet. This will kill off Gamestop/EBGames and all others from buying used games unless they are all free or $5. Or they work out a deal with Microsoft somehow.
Also, Call of Duty Ghosts should really be called Call of Dog Doody.
