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.

This is a really bad idea. You can say goodbye to gamestop and any other gaming store.
Plus a lot of people either don't have internet or don't use there xbox on internet.
Also what happens if your system breaks?

B3ASTiixRAMPAG3 A multibillion dollar cooperation and you feel the need to dig deeper into consumers pockets,
especially at this time with the credit crunch etc.
It's just plain greed, if this happens I hope to see piracy go sky high.
I agree. They should expect skilled private developers working with a custom firmware for the xbox if it'll have such limitations.
