PS4/Xbox 720 Rumors about games?

I've heard a bad rumor about both systems that will probably keep me from buying either one. For PS4, I've heard that once you use a game disc on the system, that disc cannot be used on another PS4 system. This is a problem for me. A few games I've purchased in the past have had good reviews, looked good on a video, and were recommended by friends/family, but when I buy the game and play it for a short time I realize it was nothing but trash. I would usually sell them down the road. This will be bad if PS4 games are like this because I will be stuck with the game. I've also heard there will be no backwards compatibility at all. That's another problem.

Now onto Xbox 720, the rumors are about the same, but games can only be downloaded. I mostly prefer buying the game at the store so I don't eat up the memory on the hard drive. I don't have to worry about my games getting ruined because I usually keep my games either in the system or their cases. I heard the 720 will also have no backwards compatibility.

Both systems will be a problem because I could get stuck with a crappy game, the hard drive could get used up quickly, and I won't even be able to save on games by buying them used. The only way I could save is by catching them on sale. Are these rumors true or not? I heard most of this when speaking to an employee at Best Buy, then at GameStop too.

    I've seen a lot of the same information in the press lately.

    'PS4' and 'XB720' will both probably support some sort of game disc. I.e., you'll be able to walk into the store and purchase the game media as usual. Both systems will apparently do their very best to keep you from using a disc that was used in another system. I assume they will want to be able to get on the internet on a fairly regular basis, and will moan and complain at you when they are not able to. Again, I'm predicting here, but I would assume that after a couple days the thing just won't power on altogether until it can get back on the net.

    But this is my guess.. I haven't heard a lot about what happens if you keep them offline a lot. I think most journalists are just planning for the worst here.

    This will definitely pose problems for early adopters, among which I don't plan on being one. RED RING ANYONE? lol.. I had to send mine in twice.

    I it rather is that Microsoft will create an Xbox 540/720 earlier psmakes the PS4. The 360 became out earlier the PS3 became. and that i basically think of that the subsequent Xbox equipment could have greater time positioned into it and could sell rather properly. If pswere to make a PS4 i do no longer think of many human beings would purchase it. pondering PS3 basically got here out 3 years in the past.

    The 720 will have a sort of skydrive. So it will not eat up your hard drive even if it did I use an external 500 gb hard drive and that is the best
