Exactly. I mean used games are only ever like $5 cheaper than the new price until they are 2 years old or so, so why not just buy new? |
Uh, where are we buying our used games? I occasionally buy used, and it sure as hell isn't only $5 cheaper than new.
I'm not really a fan of this strategy, as it makes the original copy worth less. When the used games are worth less, the copy you potentially want to sell is worth less (you'd get less money from reselling if you were dissatisfied with the copy if you used your code). More of the original game's value moves to "unsellable," whether it's due to additional content or not.
I was hoping their strategy to counter used game sales were something more along the lines of... oh, something like making the game worth keeping! That's how it always used to be, the only difference today is the companies can't seem to support themselves with current costs. I don't see why that should be affecting used games, of all things...

Original copy=New Copy. You can scan the disc of a used and new disc, and they will have the same exact content and data in it.

Yes, for the disc, but not for the full package.
