Report: Next Xbox to "kill" pre-owned, requires always on net connection
The source says that another source “with first hand experience” of the console adds that games will still be buyable, which are supplied on 50GB Blu-ray discs. It is understood that disc games will use an activation code.
So, no more going to the shops and buying cheap second-hand games? There has to be more people who think this is a bad idea by Microsoft.

Arrive Wow this is gay what if we want to play this at a friends house or don't like the game. If there is a way to Flash the new xbox I'm just gonna do that.
I'm sure there'll be a way at some point, it'll just be a shit-ton more expensive than it is with the 360 since they're going to be 50 gb blu-ray discs.

Not going to happen because if your xbox 720 fries (like the Xbox 360 did on me; fried on December 20, 2005) the game keys or products keys will be lost for ever. For instance, on the OS's windows 7 and 8 the license key retrieves the information off your motherboard. Once your motherboard crashes, your license key is lost for ever and MS is not responsible. However on the Xbox 720, Microsoft would be responsible and have to replace all of your games because its their fault for having an ridiculous rule. Besides this required internet connection will not fly with gamer's because steam, origin, or what ever game client on PC does not require a online connection to play your library. This my predication, if the upcoming steam box coming out this year has ergonomic controllers, under 400 dollars, continues their amazing winter and summer sales, and comes out during the summer. Xbox, PS3 will be finished. Steams new big picture is basically like a console dashboard. All it is missing's is controllers for the gamer's who prefer a controller.
