Hmm. Would this mean that Gamestop's used games would be even cheaper. Because "new titled" used games sell for $5 less. But to get all the content you would need to pay an extra $10. So, people would never buy used. Or Gamestop will starting selling newer used titles for perhaps upwards of $13 off. As for older used games, perhaps also a dramatic price cut. But probably not. gg used games. I buy new anyway
THQ really isn't happy about used games. Sony has also made statements about future attempts to counter act used games. Apparently what they are going to push is not allowing used games to be played online...
I never buy used games. But I see why people do. I also see why big companies hate used games. So I'm not to sure how to feel about this. Even thinking of it as "less used game sales means more money in company pockets", isn't neccicarily good either. I'm guessing a majority of used game sales are crappy B.S games no one cares about or just really old titles. Used games for recently released titles are only $5 off. A majority of people just get new at the point, IMO.
If something works you should be allowed to play it either its used or not. As long as its bought and the previous owner doesn't make a profit and doesn't use it anymore.
It's like you buy a second hand table, a game is no different. Period, no discussion.
hmm I don't think its turning into a question of "Should you be allowed to play used games?", as much as, what can be done to used games that gives the Dev's a piece'o the pie. Which is looking like used games buyers are going to be paying extra for all those weapon, armor, extra level goodness that someone who bought new got for free.

Think sellings games to minors crap would hurt used game sales?
