NextGen gaming rumors?

@Giogiogio4  - April 17, 2012, 4:16 a.m.

So what are your thoughts on all the rumors of nextgen gaming having Bans on used games, No backwards compatibility and so forth?

I don't understand the whole Ban against used games. It's a BS argument in my book. Devs are paid plenty. Most people are being mislead in general when it comes to that topic.

Whats a used game? When a gamer trades in 2 old games for a new one the Gamer is Taking a Loan from the game store ( gamestop ). And guess what? It's Gamestop paying Devs for their new games. And when someone Buys a used game they are simply paying gamestop back. And well over 50% of the time none of those used games sell. So gamestop loses money. Look at all the old Ps2,Gamecube games those places have. Thousands of games that wont ever be sold, yet they gave all those gamers the money to buy new games. If anything Gamestop is basically giving Devs cash in hopes someone will pay them back.

Really? My PS1 still works, it might take a couple of tries to read the disc, but she works fine.

Here's my beauty, with my old ass PSM Final Fantasy sticker hehe :-)

I was mainly just joking when you said that PS1 games would be fucked if they stopped allowing used games back then.

But I didn't really specify my reason for talking about "sharing" your digital games with others.

So, if they do go strictly digital, hopefully you can still migrate your gamertag to "share" your games and beat the system.

But I agree with you Juja, FUCK GAMESTOP!!! They do get all pissey when you try to return stuff.

Like once my aunt bought me a PS3 controller and I only have XBOX 360. So I go to return it and their like we can't accept controllers in the box, because I didn't have the receipt.

I literally went outside ripped open the box and went in to sell it and they only gave me $20 for a Brand ass new PS3 controller. Cheap-o mafukkas

Really my aunt should've kept the receipt but that is shitty, $20?

Amazon is the way man! I recently bought "Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster" for PS1 on Amazon, $10. Awesome game!

I think the motors tend to die on the PSX. I might be wrong--that's just what my friend told me. Luckily, you can find broken PSXs pretty cheap and cannibalize them :-D

I've never done that (I'm not really a hardware person), but that same friend once replaced the motor in my PSX for me that way.

My playstation is covered with stickers!

while we're on the subject of older gen shit, I was thinking of busting out my n64, but i'm missing the red yellow and white cable cord thingy! Does anyone know of any stores that would sell one of those cables? I'd order online but i'd like to be able to just pick it up whenever.

Do you have a s-video cable for SNES or GC? Those are compatible with the N64 one.

(You can't use a GC component cable on N64, since that uses a different port / signal.)

I don't know where to suggest buying one in person, though. Sorry!

I got a universal RFU adapter from GameStop. I use it for SNES and PS2.

It even says Gamecube/N64 on the piece I use to play SNES. So it should work :)

Lol at getting mad at a place for wanting the receipt along with a returned item, and calling that "they don't want to let you return things"

Just for the record - when I tried to return something, I had my receipt, the game was unopened, and it was within 30 days or whatever their limit is. The guy was still a dick to me. I already didn't like everything else about GameStop, but that was the last straw for me. I even cancelled my Xenoblade pre-order from them and bought it straight from Nintendo (even though it cost more for shipping). Aside from all the other negative things I mentioned about GameStop, why would I want to shop at a place with such shitty customer service?

Yeah..? I guess a big yellow sticker that says NEW Gamestop and $49.99 with a bar code that they "couldn't" get to scan wasn't enough to accept a return.

They said "it must not be from our store". That was when I decided to make a statement by opening it and just selling it.

Not the smartest choice but I was over it. hehe

I have had other "less than pleasant" experiences with Gamestop as well.

But my point is they could have had the common decency to put it on the shelf and at least give me 30-40 bucks for it. It was a mistake Christmas gift but I guess that just further proves Gamestop being jewish as hell. haha
