Redbox opens GamingFuture site to discuss rentals for Xbox One, and PS4, Wants your "comments"

[Fangz]

[quote="Engaget"]
Microsoft revealed some details of how "game licensing" works on its upcoming Xbox One console, and included the tidbit that "Loaning or renting games won't be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners." In response, Redbox has launched a site called GamingFuture.net, which is ostensibly a place for gamers to express what excites or concerns them about next-gen gaming. It should also help provide a base for Redbox to defend its $2 per night videogame rental business. Interestingly, Redbox and Microsoft would appear to already be close "partners", since the former launched an Xbox 360 app for its Redbox Instant service earlier this year.

The future of video gaming is being decided this week, as amazing new game consoles are beginning to be unveiled. Industry experts are talking right now about the potential features and benefits of these new consoles.

Have you heard about what’s coming? Reports say that Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4 might have enhanced graphics, enhanced motion control, cloud-based storage, new games and experiences. But you might not be able to play without an Internet connection, lend games freely, buy used games or rent games.

We want to provide a forum for you to talk about what excites you about the future of gaming… and what concerns you.[/quote]

I'd like to see these companies receive special copies of the games which they have to pay double/triple the cost considering how many customers they're being distributed to.

Even though, it does sound like an easy buck.

I like redbox, until I rent a movie or game and get a paper copy inside.
