No used games for you 720 owners:
Meh. I never buy used games anyways. Most of the games I buy and play, they've all gone to that whole code thing to unlock multiplayer and other stuff. I just buy new and avoid all that crap. If it's not a game that I must have on release day, I'll wait a couple months until the price goes down, and buy it then. Just like I bought Battlefield 3 Premium Edition brand new for pretty cheap last week, a game I was interested in from day one, but didn't need/want it bad enough at the time to shell out full price for it. So that gives me a chance to spend some nights playing that now when other games don't sound interesting.
Honestly, the whole used games crap is overrated to begin with. There pretty much are no used games when it comes to PC, so for those of us who play PC games, we're the ones who view this who used games shit logically and realistically.

I can not imagine this would happen, especially sports titles.For the curious and sleuthing mind, there was certainly a lot of intrigue as to who was missing from the PlayStation 4 launch event last week in New York City. Where, exactly was Electronic Arts?
Today it appears a bit more is being answered on that question, as it appears EA and Microsoft are cozying up with each other in the form of an exclusive arrangement. The announcement of any such deal would be held at the XBox 720 reveal event, which looks to potentially take place on April 26.
EA is certainly a heavyweight third party publisher, so it's possible the arrangement could be a first-dibs type of deal, where games from EA come to the Xbox 720 first before releasing on other consoles later. Such a deal could also mean exclusive DLC to the XBox platform or perhaps an exclusive title or two.
How a rumored EA/Microsoft partnership affects the sports titles is relatively unknown. As we saw with MLB this year, sports leagues want a presence on all of the major platforms. It's doubtful, for instance, that the NFL would allow EA to only release Madden on the XBox 720 for a few months before it appeared on the PS4. Most likely, the deal will be a limited exclusivity deal with some titles but not all. It remains unlikely EA Sports will find itself only publishing on Microsoft's console in the future.
EA's CFO Blake Jorgenson had this to say about the PlayStation 4 a few days ago, "At the end of the day we are very excited about Sony's platform. We feel there's a huge opportunity there. The technical power on the platform is going to allow us to do a substantial amount of things that have never been done before."
What do you all think of EA and Microsoft cozying up to one another? Do you think this affects the sports titles in any way?
If it does happen bravo microsoft, bravo!!!
Sports titles will not be exclusive but WOW EA has a crap ton of publishers and titles released under there brand.
I'm guessing it's just some kind of DLC agreement on Battlefield. Or if Respawn Entertainment is only going to go 360 only like Bungie did with Halo.
It'll be exclusive timed DLC for either Battlefield 4 or Respawn Entertainment's new game. In other words, "yawn."
Yeah I imagine it is much to do about nothing (just like Watch Dogs on Sony's event). Funny thing is I'm not even sure EA going exclusive everything on the 720 would force me to leave Sony. I imagine the NFL would want a Sony game so perhaps the Show people could make an even better football game than EA does; etc...
EA to charge more for games on 720:
Thankfully I won't have to worry about it since EA games are 720 exclusives.
Yeah if EA prices games at $69.99 next gen you can darn well be Activision will follow suit. Activision was the one who pushed for $59.99 game at the beginning of the current gen.
Nothing has been set, the guy even said they have not set pricing yet. Your headlines make Fox News almost seem fair and balanced in comparison. How about watching the videos you post first.
And that's when I stop buying games at full price and NEVER touch a console again. $60 is already bad enough. $70 is fuckin' ludicrous.
wont matter much to me. ncaa will be one of, maybe, 2 games that i'll buy all year.Originally Posted by morsdraconis
Agreed. I will NEVER pay that much for a game. I'll just wait until it drops below $40 like I do now.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if games were more expensive on next gen. Personally, it's not a big deal since I only play a few as it is. That said, if digital media caused a price drop, I may buy a few more.

That is why Amazon rocks. Just wait a month or so and it will show up for $39.99. Got Far Cry 3 for that price just a month after it was released. While I am eager to play Tomb Raider I am going to watch my wishlist and wait for the drop.
I don't buy used games but I do trade in my old games at Gamestop for store credit. I guess that will be out the window. If games hit the 70 dollar mark, I won't be buying many games anyway. The ten dollar price increase plus being nickeled and dimed to death with DLC will cause a lot of gamers, including myself, to think twice about picking up a new gen system in the first place.
Well Sony has at least confirmed that games won't be higher than $60. I highly doubt XBOX would go out on their own and make their games more expensive and force you to pay for XBOX Live on top of it.
I'm not so sure the rumors also appear that 720 is going to "ban" used games while Sony has left them wiggle room. Perhaps it is shaping up to be a war where only one will survive. Sony going with the "consumer friendly" approach. MS going with the "Save the Publishers" approach?

Update: A representative from EA characterized Jorgensen's comments as a hypothetical discussion of pricing patterns at the beginning of a console cycle, and said that he meant to use software price examples of $59 and $49.
