 How USED Game 'Trade-In' works on XBOX ONE

We all now know Microsoft is blocking Used Games, but they claim 'Trade-In' will still work!

So more information has appeared in the war against USED GAMES and how Microsoft plans to please everyone with their XBOX ONE scheme of DRM control over your 'game disc'


Ever since it was reveal that XBOX ONE blocks the usage of your game disc on another system after its tied to your Live account and registered into the CLOUD using a one-time code, people have been asking well how does this work, what if I want to sell the disc!

Well it seems Microsoft grand big brother scheme of a plan, is to have its cake and take a piece of it also, so in the future you will need to visit an OFFICIAL store that has agreed to Microsoft's ToS for 'Trade-In' and as such they will de-list your disc, give you what they want, cash or in-store credit, wipe the info from the CLOUD and put it on the shelf as an USED GAME, and in exchange for all this work, when the game is re-sold, a piece of cake will go to Microsoft, another piece to the original publisher, and store can keep whats left over.


You, the shopper, won't have to pay the activation fee for a used Xbox One game - the shop will. Therefore, the price you see on a second-hand Xbox One game in a shop is the price you'll pay to be able to play it.

That's what a high-ranking UK industry source explained to me this afternoon.

The reason there's all this confusion is because Microsoft hasn't decided what the activation fee will be yet. The £35 figure reported in the story below sounds too high - perhaps it includes the shop's sale price as well.

My source confirmed that part of that activation fee will go to a publisher and part to Microsoft.

What this means for second-hand games is that Microsoft effectively controls how much they cost, because it controls the activation fee. Whether that fee will move up or down or diminish over time isn't clear. But it does mean second-hand games will probably be more expensive than they are now.

My source didn't know what Sony was up to but doubts the PlayStation maker will do the same thing, not because it's angelic but because it lacks the kind of pricey infrastructure something like this requires.

Original story: If you want to trade in an Xbox One game you will need to find a shop that has agreed to Microsoft's terms and is therefore connected to the Xbox One cloud.

The game will be registered as traded in and will be wiped from your Xbox Live account. The shop can resell it for whatever price it likes but the game's publisher now takes a cut and so does Microsoft, a source-based MCV report revealed.


After the news broke of how this 'trade-in' system going to work, the stock value for GameStop dropped like crazy!

 When and How Xbox Live was hacked!

Yesterday news broke that Xbox Live was hacked, but the 'pastebin' was fishy no solid proof!

But today, exclusive proof was given to Maxconsole that the 'hackers' had access to Xbox Live Source Code over 6 to 7 months ago, even tho Microsoft claims everything is OK and SAFE, is it really?


Yesterday, a tweet by 'Reckz0r' pointed everyone to a 'pastebin' where he claimed he dumped all 48 million Xbox Live users and offered up a 6gb file as proof, but it was soon figured out the 'file link' was just an hoax and the actual story smelled very fishy at best, and Microsoft soon confirmed to 'GameSpot' that Xbox Live was NOT hacked, and everything is secure.

Now this is not the first time a story broke with Xbox Live claiming to be 'hacked' and then later Microsoft claims it is all A-OK and keep gaming along, back in 2011 the newspaper SUN claimed there was a huge 'Xbox Cyber Fraud' and Microsoft was even doing an cover-up on it, later on Microsoft backtracked and said it was just all 'social engineering' and 'kiddies' were giving out their own personal info that was why they were getting 'hacked', and security is secure on Xbox Live, but just to make sure they added more protocols to made it harder to change your info, if you had been duped into giving out info to these so-called 'phishing' attempts.

But today MaxConsole was contacted by an professional security auditor that of course wishs to remain anonymous and has offered up to us exclusive proof as 'screenshots' taken via 'TeamViewer' of an actual 'hacker' (which is rumored to be ex-employee) getting into the Xbox Live system via its 'Source Code', which using an actual Microsoft VPN connection, and this they were told all took place about 6 to 7 months ago, during an operation to 'steal money' from various companies, and since then all those involved have been raided by the FBI and Secret Service.

So does this mean Xbox Live is really safe and secure? -- You decide yourself after looking at the 'pictures'!

 Xbox Live is Hacked

48 Million Users Leaked

Some key people were not 'happy' about Xbox ONE, so they decided to show Mr. Microsoft, whom is really the boss of the 'net, not the 'must connect once a day box', but the 'hackers' of the world unite


World famous hacker 'Reckz0r' that cracked into CNN websites and data stream, claims via a 'pastebin' today, and other tweets that Xbox Live has been 'PWNED!' all 48 Million Users Exposed, and offer up a 6gb file with all the details of his trip into Microsoft servers!


Good morning, faggots

Today is a pretty fine fucking day, and a good day for the underground too, as I believe everything happens for a small tiny reason. Today, one of the biggest IT-companies known as Fagsoft, oh sorry, autocorrect-problems, I meant, Microsoft. They are often known as the biggest cocksuckers that history has ever witnessed. They released a faggotry-infested 1960's-machines inspired Xbox One! They said that they have created 30,000 servers just for this lovely moment. I believe, you better shut the fuck up before you get smacked the fuck up, billy.

Today, Xbox Live has been brutally owned, in true-fashion. I shall not expose the vulnerability this time, as I do not want Benjamin Kuns Mejri masturbating all over my releases, oh and, Vuln-Labs, your advisories fucking suck.

On the second hand, after the downfall of our well-known friends, Lulssec. sony was truly happy, sitting behind their chairs and ejaculating over pictures of Katy Perry. But I believe, that Microsoft should get a taste of some pure ownage too.

I brutally owned Xbox Live a few days ago, but I decided to dump all the super-dooper precious data now.

Oh and, If I get another stupid BBC-journalist talking crap on this lovely work-of-hand, thou shall be cursed.

And most importanly; Microsoft, this is not a dick-sucking contest. You gotta stand the fuck up infront of cyberhackers. You seek help and therefore; You'll get owned.

Lastly, Microsoft is a pest to humanity.

Enjoy this lovely ownage for now.

I have uploaded the entire credentials of every Xbox Live user in an nickname;email;password;joindate format, It contains nearly confidental-info on around 47 million users.

 XBOX ONE is unleashed into the world by Microsoft

The ALL-IN-ONE system for controlling and watching everything

Not just your average 'gaming console', this is not Xbox 720, it is the all new XBOX ONE, the one and only system you will ever need, from gaming to watching movies, to even making phone calls!


Well the day is finally here, Microsoft has spilled the beans on the juicy stuff on their new XBOX, and its not 720, not Loop, not Now, not Fusion, it is ONE that is right they are counting down, because this is your ALL-IN-ONE baby, the only 'box' you will need connected to your TV ever, throw out all those other devices, buy, own, control, watch, game everything with XBOX ONE.

So far the specs are:

* 8GB of RAM
* 8-core CPU
* 500GB HDD
* Blu-ray drive
* USB 3.0
* Built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi

And the new Kinect which is always-needed as you control this all-in-one box with your VOICE, like XBOX ON will power on the system, includes a 1080p camera that is so good it can record your 'heartbeat'??

And the OS is combo of 3 things M$ is great at, the Xbox 360 (gaming), Windows 8 (apps/simple), Kinect (voice/control), and finally the XBOX ONE even tho it looks almost the same, they claim it has over 40 different changes, one of them being games can control the triggers, you will feel it more, it might take more strength to push them depending on the game.

Of course EA is major factor as an PARTNER with M$, with them being first on stage after M$ talked about how it will change your lives in watching tv, movies, and even phone calls with its built-in Skype system, and EA claims they have their own new engine designed just for XBOX ONE, with 4 games coming out within the next 12 months.

Forza Motorsports 5 will be a LAUNCH game, and there is alot of talk about how everything is CLOUD based, from saves, to weather, updates, connection with others, almost sadly like the CLOUD is so much needed, you might not be do anything without it there!

Plus another 15 Exclusive Games from Microsoft themselves, with 8 never before seen, with preview of one called QuantumBreak.

TV TV TV, SOCIAL SOCIAL SOCIAL, with exclusive drama designed only XBOX ONE, including something based on HALO, basically Microsoft claims your XBOX ONE will re-think TV as we know it, with interactive TV, better story-telling, and true live-action drama.

Finally it launches later this YEAR, but no clues on the price, with final word that E3 will have more info, and Call Of Duty is #1...

I am sorry to say, but my personal thoughts on this, is they better have an XBOX EU plan, as after the one hour, it was all way too much focused on USA, if you don't live like an American, you will not be grabbing an ALL-IN-ONE system called XBOX ONE.

We end this write-up summary, with the most important fact regarding 'GAMES' since there was not much about DRM or other rumors:


Microsoft's Xbox One will use Blu-ray discs for games, but you won't be using them as frequently as you might have with your PlayStation 3. In a statement made to Wired, Microsoft said that all games are installed to the Xbox One's hard drive to play; you won't have to insert the disc to run the game after that initial process. The news confirms earlier information seen by The Verge.

Prior to the Xbox One's official unveiling, rumors had flown for months that Microsoft's latest console would contain a mechanism to block used games. While Microsoft has so far stayed quiet on this particular point, the mandatory installation would seem to suggest that it may well be the case - at least to some extent. Microsoft has said that a fee would be charged for any game disc to be tied to a second Xbox Live account following its initial installation.

 Rumor: Microsoft killing off Xbox Points

...In favor of 'real' currency/gift cards system.

According to The Verge, Microsoft is doing away with its current Points system to introduce a true currency system very soon. Reveal expected at E3 2013.


According to a report from The Verge, Microsoft is killing off its Points system used primarily for the Xbox, in favor of a true currency and gift cards system.

So, similar to the infrastructure that Apple has in place, users will be able to make purchases with debit/credit cards, or buy gift cards at retail stores. The new system would work across the Windows Store, Windows Phone Store, and the Xbox Live Marketplace.


The new gift cards will be offered in a similar way to Apple's iTunes vouchers, allowing Xbox owners to purchase true currency to be used to download content. We're told that normal cash transactions, using credit and debit cards, will also be supported. Microsoft currently offers gift cards in its retail stores, but these can only be used for purchases in brick and mortar stores. The new system will work across Microsoft's various marketplaces, including the Windows Store, Windows Phone Store, and Xbox.


Apparently, an official announcement is expected at the upcoming E3, with a planned launch later this year, just in time for the next-generation Xbox.

If true, it was about time, don't you think? Stay tuned!
