Okay, for me, it's a non-issue. I still have my N64 and my original Xbox. N64 is plugged in and hooked up, my Xbox is in the closet, but it's there if I want it. Once I get the new Xbox, my 360 will probably stay out for a while until there's a good library of Xbox One games. I personally don't have an issue with this. Like I said, I'd rather do that than rely on some shoddy emulator like we got with the 360.

I'll admit, I'm not a big PC gamer, but I can't think of a game I've played that didn't require a code of some sort.

: There is irony in that statement. And it's your job to find it, gumshoe!

I'll concede that point, I suppose.
