& then pay xbox more money to play it as if it was new. 
That's like buying a used Chevrolet at Carmax & then GM turns around & demands the difference you paid Carmax less what is was new be reimbursed to them for what it cost new or you can't drive it.

Yea, the whole purchase a license for a used game is so they can totally switch to download-only marketplace. Seems like a terrible business model. If it's like $1 per used game, ok maybe then I can understand, but even then... my nephews bring over their games to play while they're here, kids bring games to each other's houses. I don't understand this one.
The games announced for the One don't look good (interesting) either. Launch day games rarely are.

Also, I think Xbox's launch games look better than PS4's.

The game will feature cars representing four of the top teams in the IZOD IndyCar Series: Andretti Autosport, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, Target Chip Ganassi Racing, and Team Penske.
Forza Motorsport 5 will feature Formula 1 cars, including the 1976 McLaren M23 and the 1976 Ferrari 312-2. These cars were driven by Niki Lauda and James Hunt during the extraordinary 1976 F1 season, where the World Championship was decided by a single point. They both feature in Ron Howard's upcoming film Rush and will be available as a free download to all Forza Motorsport 5 players at launch.
