Yeah right. Not everyone wants to drop 60 bones on every single game that comes out. For many people if they can't get the game used, they won't get the game at all. |
Except GameStop only sells the used version of a game for ~10% less than the new version. So a $60 game goes for $55 used. A $30 game goes for $27 used. If people aren't willing to spend $60, they're not willing to spend $55 either. The difference is that employees like myself are told to talk customers into buying used over new.
Your reasoning is hardly a justification for GameStop's crappy practices that *are* hurting the industry, because the price differential between used and new is neglible to the customer.
