The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 27 January, 2012
According to Kotaku, Microsoft's upcoming console will play Blu-ray discs, catching up to Sony 7 years after the launch of the PS3.
Another part of the report that will certainly be notable if true, is the notion that Microsoft will "incorporate some sort of anti-used game system" in the new console. It is unclear how this system would work, but it will likely not be foolproof, regardless.

As always, take these rumors with a cargo ship of salt. Just a few months ago they were saying that the next Xbox would run an ARM processor.

Why you already need activation key's for a number of games before you go online,it's the only way it can be implemented apart from moving to 100% digital download,which would create a massive drop in physical media sales,meh there's a crack for everything

Well this is a step in the right direction if there goal is to make true the forum post about consoles being dead in the next 10 years... So if ur console breaks or you upgrade to a newer one all your games wouldn't work??
No time for Leap frog!!!

(@ Johnstarr) Not really. Serials and codes tied to you Xb account would be sufficient. once transferred to another console you should be able to play. Just like with the games now that have dlc that is tied to you account. Once logged out of that account the DLC does not work on that console.
(@ the stubborn folks against advancement of the video game age) As far as never buying if they go that route... I'll just say this. I play online with friends 95% of the time. I have 2 years on my xblive family account and I buy games new. I have had a modded 360 and when I was broke and jobless it was a nice relief not to have to buy games. I found that I played all the titles a total of 5 mins and still went back to the one or 2 games I liked. When my console got banned I had to wait until I got a job and money to buy another system. Then I had no time to play all the modded titles so I stuck to games that were important to me. The cost of my entertainment totals around $120 to $180 a year. That is relatively cheap seeing that I would spend double that at the bar or a club in one night.
Tech is changing and you can't stop it. And who cares if you ain't buying. Somebody else will!! Stop whining and buy your games. You can't play them all and if you are then you need to be getting paid to do so.

If there is any truth to the whole "no used games" thing Microsoft will probably test it out, see that it sucks, then do an update to get rid of it.

It's laughable to think they would go ahead with no used games. They may want it, but they have to know that won't work unless they only want to sell a small fraction of what they sold before in console sales.

The Xbox360 is hugely successful despite used games and modded consoles. Don't mess with success too much. . .

It should be noted that MS has not confirmed that it will not play used games. So my guess is MS started this rumor out to see public reaction. So far negative feedback on the idea has been slammed on other sites, so my guess is MS will pull away from this idea.

There is no way MS would allow this. Come on. I knew I would see this here on ADF. Internet gossip gets around worse than a sewing circle. I would never buy a console if this were true and MS knows this.

Well we know it will use blu ray and a 6XXX radeon at least.

If the rumor about used games is true I hope there is plenty of lubrication handy so they can stick the new xbox up their ass.

I get that with my 5870 ALL THE TIME. I gave up trying to update the driver. I can play my game for 5 min and whammo! My comp crashes. If I keep the original drivers installed I dont get that problem so that's what I do. I will def be going nvidia next time.

I have no trouble with my uncles ATI rig or my ati based notebook but I have random crashes with my nivida rig, it seems to hate running videos every now and then it will shutdown the video card then lock up. I think it has more to do with mobo configs than pure video card based.
Also have you tried http://www.omegadrivers.net/ .

What most companies do is through back channels is put out and idea which might not seem to popular releasing information as a rumor. not allowing for used games would make the company alot more money as long as they dont loose to many users...
Microsoft said they wont comment on rumors im guessing because they want to see how well the public would take to having to buy new games. The response by the public will be echoing disappointment so Microsoft wont move forward with the no used games feature.

If it has bluray, ps3 would lose its biggest advantage over the other systems.

It's ok i know how to get it to work,in a nutshell i have to put my hd2400 back in use the hotfix so ccc can detect the hardware or it will bsod,then remove the card & place the 6670 in it's place & install new driver for that card,frak'n unbelievable there are posts all over the place with people having the same issue through out the range of ATi cards,it's incredible ATi don't automatically supply the hotfix on the install of the software
@ dab0ne
to get driver to install if it bsod's,you extract contents of ccc or just get the driver download & extract it,then use device manager & select graphic adapter or whatever & hit update driver,then manually browse to the extracted driver folder = support then hit update it should install fine

Well, apparently the PS3's biggest advantage is now being able to play used games...haha.
