You guys forget this will effect us trading here and the waffle thread too.



Oh, right. Those games are older I assumed they would start applying it to newer titles.



Yeah, I meant unreleased games too. Say you have Assassins Creed 5 and I have COD 17, with this rule, we wouldn't be able to trade without paying a fee to play the game.

If they ban selling used games what is to stop people from selling used cars its the same thing on a different scale! Actually used cars can be more dangerous.

Don't blame this on gamestop or whoever, blame this on the Game industry, maybe they should stop overcharging for brand new crap! Gamestop only brings the price down of overcharged crap. Still overcharge yeah sometime but more reasonabley priced, if you feel your getting ripped off by Gamestop or whoever, ebay your stuff I'm sure you will try to overcharge for your used product.
If not you'd already have donated for free to the trading thread here!

Maybe the companies should offer to buy back their games and resell them themselves?
Or
Just do what they are doing release 1st day DLC. When people buy the used product IF they FEEL they want the whole experience of the game they will buy the DLC.

I'll bring up a good point here who here would pay $60 now for just one of these titles:
CoD2, Kameo, etc. any of the first relesed games on the any system for that fact.

Here is another problem what about game that use servers like Chromehounds, Halo 2, NBA whatever. That gets their servers shut down and you receive nothing in return for losing a main part of the experience of the game. You hear us complain but you never hear the Game companies say "Hey we will take back our product to discount one of our new products." they'd rather tell you to go F yourself.

Besides if this happens we will see even greater ways of priracy than we ever seen before!

Without going into an uber long rant......

Believe it or not I actually agree with some of these ideas. I don't believe they will ever be able to be rid of the used game market, but offering some games as download only (see any game in the XBL Arcade) - you're not going to download a game that sucks (in general) so it will force developers to provide better games for the value - otherwise you won't buy them.

I also like the idea of including a bonus for buying the game new. The Cerebrus code is awesome, and although I wanted ME2 on the first day - if I was wavering in my decision the Cerebrus network (free downloads) would have put me over the top. This is going to do a couple things - encourage people to buy them new and possibly could make places like gamestop drop the prices on used games that don't have the code. Why would you not pay 5 extra bucks for the new game with a 15 dollar code?

Ultimately the gaming industry is out to make money for themselves. Its not evil, its just business. As long as they don't take it too far I like some of what they are doing - but not others (Dragon Age I'm looking at you!)

Unattributed Quote:


Mass Effect 2 *New*- $60

Trade in credit= $25

Re-sale value= $55.99

gamestops profit- one less customer



the fact that sometimes for up to a YEAR after a game is released gamestop will hock off a used copy for only $5 less than a new one is thievery



Mass Effect 2

GameCrazy= 20-30$ trade in.

New 60$

Used Value 45$

= A customer for used games.

Game Crazy kicks Game Stop butt. Game crazy weapon a nuke game stop. A 9mm.

Side note, i never buy new games at 60$. That is just way to expensive. I wait till they drop the price or are used.

So, used games rule!

Ok. For the game fly comment, if any of these go through gamefly isn't going to help. If the code can only be used once than your Prolly not going to be the first to recieve it therefore no code for you. Rental places will be the driving force behind any block on these rules. Hastings bookstores, block buster, and gamefly all strive on rentals and not original sales. These rules would essentialy cock block these companies from there primary source of income.

No loyal gamer is going to pass up the next game of the year just cause they can't buy it used. Atleast a majority of gamers will change method and buy new.

It's a perfect storm for the industry because they know that if one company can get away with it than so can all of them. They have the product in demand and will do as they please because people will not stop buying games.

Sorry if the writing is bad I'm on my phone. Peace

I'd gladly pass up a GoTY if I can't buy it used. Just because it's the GoTY doesn't mean I need to run out and buy it.



i agree.
i rarely pay full price for video games.

GoTY? What is that? But i agree on passing up games that are worthless. MW2 being one. And gears of war being the other. I can wait till those are 20 dollar games. But if the stay at 60 i will not buy them.

Perhaps goty was a bad example. What I meant was the next big game that would be of a popular franchise. Halo, gears, mw, cod, bioshock, whatever it is. People will want full options and multiplayer when they buy these. So if you can only get full content with a new game I think a lot of people will stop with the buying used and bite the bullet
