Thats terrible used games are bad and killing this industry slowly.

$60 a pop for a game isn't?  When a game fails to have replay value, and goes for $60 a pop, I don't know why people should be forced to keep it.  I hear how "piracy" kills the industry.  Now used game sales kill the industry.  I think the industry needs to stop making excuses, and make games people want to buy.

 

Used games has changed the pricing structure of the video game industry. A certain percentage of people will buy a game new regardless, now Publishers have to rely on pulling bigger returns from these guaranteed customers because they are losing out on the return from the customers that want to save a few dollars and buy used games. If there was no used game market $50 or even $40 could be the standard price for a new game.
