(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); One of the hot topics of new consoles how to deal with used game sales. With EA dropping the online pass one has to wonder why that was. A little hint has come out with MS talking about used games and installs.
New games you install them to your console, this links your xbox live accounts to the game. Result any second accounts have to pay a "fee" in order to get access to the disc. Mandatory installs if people was going to ask.

Sony has so far no details on any plans like this.

-Jake the mod has found a story saying it a full price for the fee.

Don't worry not sure on if the story is true or not after joystiq has posted further updates

Not sure what to think about this could be good news if means used game prices fall along with a low fee compared to online passes.

Just read here that on Microsoft's twitter, they posted that there may not be a fee to unlock games after all. Hopefully it's true and all this was a bad mistake.
