Sorry, man. I'm lame. Forgot all about it, and I'm not even sure where it is at the moment. Give me your address again and I'll send it back. Or my firstborn child. He's almost 8 now and getting a little attitude. Whichever you prefer.

Hah! No, I don't care! I got a free GoW1 downloadable code with my copy of Gears Judgement and I wanted to give it to somebody. No worries, man. I forgot all about it. Keep it.

I'll take that code if no one else wants it, Michael.

-Console checks in every 24 hours.

-Trade-ins are up to the publisher and only at participating retailers.

-You can give a game to a friend only if they have been on your friends list for 30 days, and then it is stuck with them.

-Up to 10 family members can play your games from any console at any time.

Well you know how the saying goes. "Keep it as complicated as humanly possible."

So I guess I was wrong when I said this would screw over Gamestop. Turns out, only "participating retailers" can resell games so this in effect kills off Gamestop's competition (private sales, eBay, smaller game shops, etc.). Let's see if the mainstream consumer will eat this DRM console up.
