When I worked at GameStop, I made sure to sell all PS3 and 360 games used. The only games I would sell new are Nintendo games. It was easy.

Nintendo customer: "Ah, it's only five dollars more, plus you get the comfort in knowing it new and has never been played before."

HD customer: "It is basically the same thing as a new copy, it's only five dollars cheaper. Plus, if you don't like the game, you have seven days to return it!"

This is partly the reason that Wii software sells.

lol you're kidding right? You're partly the reason for the software success of the Wii...I'm sure you made a huge difference in the console wars. As for the main topic, they sell used consoles for every console and handheld out there. They've been doing this for a long time and the effect wont be any greater or worse than before. When I worked at Gamestop people were scared to buy used 360s because the chances for the RROD was much higher.

Oh and just so you all know, he's not doing anything bad or evil. You're supposed to push used game sales at Gamestop. Be happy he did it for at least one company, most employes don't do it for any.

@bolded. It was a joke, bro.

As far as used 360s go. Yea, I liked my customers to buy them used so 360 doesn't get a sale, but if they had a bad history with RROD, I would tell them to buy a new one.

And yea, I don't get why people are pissed off about this, I sell the most software at my store for a reason.. because I have an agenda and I am actually motivated to do it.
