href=\"http:\/\/www.edge-online.com\/news\/the-next-xbox-always-online-no-second-hand-games-50gb-blu-ray-discs-and-new-kinect\/\"\u003Esources speaking with EDGE\u003C\/a\u003E, the next Xbox console (sometimes referred to as Xbox 720) will require an online connection and not allow second hand game sales.  If there are two worse features for game collectors I can't think of them.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nThe majority of the readers on this website probably have an NES or other classic console hooked up to their TV right now and play it 20+ years after it was launched.  This wouldn't be possible with the next Xbox.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nSoon after Microsoft cuts support for the Xbox, online servers will be turned off.  Original \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.1up.com\/news\/xbox-live-cut-original-xbox\"\u003EXbox was no longer supported on Xbox Live\u003C\/a\u003E about five years after the 360 launched.  If the console can't connect to the online servers because they don't exist, the console no longer works.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nStopping second hand game sales would hurt collectors as well.  At some point Microsoft will stop selling the Next Xbox and retailers will stop carrying games.  At that point the resale market becomes the only source of games.  The last remaining new copies floating around will be the only ones you can actually buy to play.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nYou could buy used copies for display and collecting..  One of the great things about video game collecting is the ability to play what you collect.  Next Xbox games would become like art, coins, or baseball cards - meant for display only.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nAs a game collector I hope Microsoft listens to all the negative press they are receiving for this decision and changes their mind before the console launches.  They still have nine months or so fix this before the console is released.\u003Cbr\u003E\n\u003Cbr\u003E\nWhat are your thoughts on the Next Xbox rumors?  \u003Cdiv class=\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003EThis is a post from \u003Ca href='https:\/\/blog.pricecharting.com'\u003EPriceCharting.com\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/blog.pricecharting.com\/feeds\/6646701524765878764\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/blog.pricecharting.com\/2013\/02\/next-xbox-is-bad-for-game-collecting.html#comment-form","title":"3 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/5166264252243602432\/posts\/default\/6646701524765878764"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/5166264252243602432\/posts\/default\/6646701524765878764"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https:\/\/blog.pricecharting.com\/2013\/02\/next-xbox-is-bad-for-game-collecting.html","title":"Next Xbox Is Bad For Game Collecting"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"JJ Hendricks"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/10255138459888881579"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-2oreqPAlOms\/URLulNhxNSI\/AAAAAAAAFy4\/xPOLTGrneXE\/s72-c\/xbox-logo.png","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"3"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-2117791609990421781"},"published":{"$t":"2009-04-29T09:26:00.010-06:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2011-05-17T10:06:16.178-06:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"playstation 2"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"sega dreamcast"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"video game index"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"xbox"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Marvel Vs Capcom 2 On XBL \u0026 PSN Lowers Resale Prices"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Ca onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_Dmi7Txvz7iI\/Sfh9ECEtbQI\/AAAAAAAABGk\/lZfqWprjYCA\/s1600-h\/marvel-vs-capcom-2-banner.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003E\u003Cimg style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 160px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_Dmi7Txvz7iI\/Sfh9ECEtbQI\/AAAAAAAABGk\/lZfqWprjYCA\/s400\/marvel-vs-capcom-2-banner.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Marvel vs Capcom 2 Prices Dropping\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330147667222555906\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMarvel announced that the classic fighting game \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/marvel.com\/news\/vgstories.7770.Marvel_vs~dot~_Capcom_2_Returns_This_Summer\"\u003EMarvel Vs.

The Xbox is substantially lower at 14 percent.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI don’t know for sure why these differences exist, but I imagine the Xbox prices are lower partially because bootlegging games on the system is easier (and more popular) on the Xbox than the PS2 or Cube.
