Prettu much why I am goinf digital

Yeah me too......not launch games though! Those are always deeply discounted and hundreds of copies sit unsold. Nintendoland £10 already in cex and they have 20 copies in the local! Seems only Japanese games tend to hold value like Mario or anything made in Japan by nintendo or JRPGs/curios like steel batalion/samba d'amigo.
If I traded in the entire xbox 360 launch line up for the UK all those years ago now at game I'd get under £20 credit.

Whilst nothing has been said, I sincerely hope they are. Despite the objections of the majority of people, the way MS seemed to envisage the future of digital games had a lot of good things about it (loaning to friends, being able to sell them) and I really hope they haven't dropped it completely because of the people who spoke up. If they continue working on it, and get it right, it could get them a huge swing of supporters back from the PS4.
I did the same yesterday, came out with £160
Knocks a chunk off what I'll be paying for the Xbox One plus games etc.The MS way was certainly more permissive than Steam. Hopefully it was put on the backburner and not in the bin.
thats the impression i got from the press releases and talks they did.
They got that the public wasn't ready for this yet. Given the console can easily have the same lifespan as its predecessor, maybe in another 5 years or so we might be.
Bare in mind the lend to friend/family sharing thing wasn't made clear and there was talk of it being pretty much a demo which is turd and major Nelson couldn't give a straight answer on it in his interview with angryjoe so we didn't lose anything there really.
Also how many games can the storage of the console even hold?

The rumours afterwards (and I stress rumours here) was that it would actually have been a proper sharing scheme, not a demo system. Of course, now it's been canned it's easy to say what it could have been. I guess we'll never know what they had planned.
Probably 15-20 at a time, depending on any other digital content you may get. My 8MB connection is one thing that definitely holds me back from going fully digital as it would take a very long time to download some games, though I do like the idea of being able to easily swap between games without getting off my ass.

I could've had more than my £194, as I still have around 50 games sat on my shelf, but they are games I really don't want to get rid of (stuff like Fallout, the ME series, stuff like that).
got me thinking now.
I've got 70+ games from release titles to GTAV, I swear i'll never touch 60+ of them again so maybe its worth dumping them into GAME. willa tleast make some space on my shelf for some Xbox One games and even if they fleece me and give me £3-£4 a game it all adds up.
Maybe keep GTA for me, lips and some of the other games that get dragged out when the kids are round and dump the rest.

Going from how Major Nelson answered Angry Joe I'd say those rumours are ********
Microsoft are there to make money so it should be no surprise they wanted to do it that way and have firmer control over second hand sales, or rather have none.
15-20 is reasonable I guess, will be a pain eventually so doubt I'll bother going digital

If you're going to do that, go onto CEX's website first and get a list of all the trade in prices for your games. Game will match any price of CEX, then add an extra £1 per game. It meant I went up from something like £160 for my games to £194

unless it doesnt suit them, then they refuse.
I had a massive clearout when game had 20% extra trade in last weekend.
Only got 2 xbox 360 games left to last me until next week.
Some of the employees at my local CEX are terrible for this. They obviously have targets to achieve in terms of knocking peoples prices down due to made up BS reasons about having too many of that game or the disc needing a clean. However i've dealt with other staff members before when I've taken a pile of stuff and they took loads of crap i was clearing out without any hassle and bartering.

They really shouldn't be able to, considering the adverts are quite prominent in the shop. The worst my shop did was refuse to completely match a few prices, as the CEX trade price was more than they were selling the game for. In that instance, they just gave me the price they were selling it at (which I thought was decent, as they were making no money on that game).
