Bet the Sony fanboys wish they didn’t make so much fun of the Xbox one’s digital plans now. Xbox’s digital plan had:
- digital reselling
- digital game lending
- retail pricing competition
PlayStation buyers will definitely not get the first 2, and Sony will likely prevent the third.
“Arrogant sony” is well and truly back.

Yeah. The Xbox One’s initial digital library plans were actually pretty compelling. The ability to lend and sell licenses was actually pretty neat, but they had to cancel it with the backlash to the announcement that you’d have a license code tied to the disc.
Honestly, if Xbox had ditched physical entirely that generation instead of causing the confusion around requiring the digital license despite having a disc I think it would have been better-received. That or going to a 2-tiered system where you had to have the disc in the machine to play games that hadn’t initially been a digital download.
Oh, and ditching the Kinnect bullshit.
