Expect the unexpected!
At first gamers thought this would be some sort of EA online pass or similar scheme, but once the event was over a press team was able to question the Microsoft team there and dig deeper on this subject. It turns out the person to buy the game Pre-Owned/Second Hand will have to pay Full Price, Yes I said Full Price you did read that correct.
So not are you only paying for the game from the store but you are then also paying full price for the game to give to Microsoft!
Questions were also raised that this would then also cause issues when taking the game to a friends house! But Major Nelson on twitter answered that as long as you download your profile to there Xbox you will be able to play the game on there console but only on your account!

I think Sony is in the lead by over a mile at this point.
They are level for now, Microsoft have won on the console specs IMO, but Sony are winning on used games. I am more worried about HD PVR's use as both consoles are using HDMI and both are using BluRay so they both have to be HDCP!

aren't both consoles pretty much identical in specs except for Sony having the faster ram?

DDR3 uses a 64 bit controller so will take full advantage of the CPU where the PS4 will only use so much of the GDDR5 speed.
GDDR5 as well has slower timings so will be slower at doing what ever it has to do so effectively the Xbox Ram wins.
Will look more in to this in the morning!

1) No used games...
2) Can only be used on one profile (so I'm assuming my brothers have to use my account to play it)
All I have to say for the diehard M$ fans is bend over and have a lot of lube ready.. Kind of sucks they have to play it that way...
