LAS VEGAS — Inside the massive complex on the Las Vegas Strip that houses the glitzy Venetian casino and Sands convention center, amid a soundscape of conflicting noises, thousands of players are mashing buttons while staring intently at flickering screens.
They're not playing slots or video poker. No, they're trying their hand at upcoming games such as "Titanfall" and "Ryse."
"It would be great if people had to buy more of the thing," says guy who makes money selling the thing.
If they did then collectors wouldn’t be getting f***** over with discless collectors editions
No shock, GameStop is alive because of trading. If they don't have used games on their shelves they are absolutely donezo.
Well of course the GS boss thinks this... that's their bread and butter business. That and funco pops and clothing, though those two were added as a means to supplement the decline in people buying used games or even new games. GS just sucks overall when it comes to gaming. I buy my physical stuff on Amazon or Best Buy.
As for "requiring" disc drives... nah. Not anymore, but i like having them as an option. They had a means back when games actually ran off the discs and were more/less complete. Now they are incomplete and the disc is really an installer with a license to play. If you want to change games you have to take out the disc and put in another. Its more convenient to just use digital. I have been into digital for years now and when the PSPortal comes along i wont even have to go into my game room. I will just play my PS5 from my couch downstairs. I have a bunch of digital installed games to my 5... I'm all set.

At this point in time If I didn't own a PS5 I would have done this in a heartbeat but I had already acquired a PS5 first before I acquired an XBSX.
I'll stick to keeping both. Gamestop though... seems kind of desperate to take in Series X units. What could they be plotting???
I just want some games for my series X I have both since release and after weighing the offerings in PS Essentials to Gamepass I quickly realized I Owned anything of worth in both catalogs. And, the things I didn't I didn't see as justifiable for maintaining both subs.
Since then my series X is a legacy machine that I play my old games on and that's it. 3 years ago I really thought from that Xbox showcase we were going to have some great games by now. Instead, it's just been a lot of meh
GameStop’s chief financial officer is resigning, in the latest of several executive departures from the video game retailer.
Man I wish I was over there. I would love to see how Killzone, Battlefield & Ryse really look rather than just seeing videos of these games online. November can't come soon enough.
I don't know if this is just an oversight, but they did not mention any PS4 games. Even the GameStop exexc mentioned Titan Falls as the game gamers came to play. PS gamer even identified myself in the line for Titan Fall.
I Titan Falls becomes "That must have game", Xbox One will be in high demand among online action gamers.
I was at the event for the ps4 they had knack , drive club and warframe the sony booth was classic they had kratos there hell of ps vitas where you can play that new kz beyond 2 souls which was playable alot of ps3 with a playable demo of batman live music all in all great booth
I was there, and I got plenty of pictures and videos. It was a lot of fun. I was amazed by the graphics on both consoles. I played RYSE for X1, and I played Driveclub for PS4. So much info to tell I don't know where to begin.
