Why did the customer buy a game they should have known they wouldn;t like? If they hate FPSs why would they buy an FPS all becasue its hyped, they should know they hate the genre. So its not the publishers fault that the customer was an idiot and bought into hype from the media and their friends who like the genre. It is completely the customer's idiocy.

Two things.
A. The vast majority of this topic isn't about returning games you've accidently purchased. That should be illegal. Amazon doesn't even allow it(and I didn't think Walmart did either, anymore). It's about reselling games you've beaten, which you should be allowed to do, imo. Especially with the high prices for retail games. This is not the PC market. Sony is NOT steam, and Jaffe would keep his shit full price for eternity, if he could, knowing his ego.
B. Even I've bought a few games that I regretted. It happens sometimes, no matter how much research you do. I didn't return them, but I did resell them. Why should I have 5000 dollars worth of games on my shelf, when the gaming industry is charging 60 dollars a pop, and I know I'll never play them again. You don't get a good return for your investment on most games. Period. I can't justify paying 20 dollars an hour to play a videogame. It's rediculious, and now Activision wants to raise it. Used games are good for the industry, and I doubt DLC will take over as quickly as Jaffe seems to hope.

Actually, he's explicitly said numerous times that game prices are currently way too high.

Well, again, not the biggest Jaffe fan here. Don't exactly read his blogs. That said, a broken clock is right twice a day.
While the used market could dissappear, however, I doubt prices on new games would drop.
It's called "throwing you a bone."
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
