I hope not because if Sony and Mircosoft have Game CD Lockout meaning cant be used again on other friends system then that Suck and not only that....the game going be very expensive like £50 or more.....who going affords that!

IF that happen....their next gen game console could Failed if Steam Box console(if they go for cheap price) take over it

I think all the games are coming on to Digital which mean you Need Internet connection to get the games to be played I guess

What do you think?

I hope it doesn't come to this. If a game is truely excellent, I'll buy it brand new, but often I'll buy a console towards the end of its retail life and stock up on cheap games.

Not a great contribution to the game industry, but I don't have a lot of cash, so I have to be very selective when it comes to buying new games.
