Twist! A mere nine days after Sony preemptively won the upcoming console war just by saying PlayStation 4 will support used games without restrictions, Microsoft responded with a “screw you!” of its own.

So, while Microsoft busily reprograms its employees with the new goodthink, we’ll let famous people give us opinions. What say you of this latest development, panel of experts?
