Based on recently closed auctions?  I highly doubt it.

I'd also point you to the fact that the downloadble content itself is selling for about 15-16 bucks on ebay.

So $40 is not a good resale value for the game? And that is through Amazon, so no bidding, send them the game and they give you credit.  Which is the main point of contention for this type of DLC.

That explains why on Ebay the resale value is actually MUCH lower.  You had confused me there.

Amazon is just a ripoff fest.

One person is selling the game for 149.99 on Amazon.

So why is Amazon a ripoff?  You can use your traded in game worth $40 dollars towards a new game at $59.99.  Isn't that the benefit of the used game market on new game sales?  After owning ME2 for 2 months, you can get a new game for $20.  And ME2 contains this new type of DLC.  And free shipping on orders over $25.

No, my point is... I bet not many people are actually going to buy that game at 45.

 

Just because that one guy listed the game to sell for 149.99 doesn't actually mean it's going to sell for 149.99.   It's why it's better to use recently closed auctions... because you KNOW what they've sold for... even though such a thing still benefits the seller to some degree.

Gamestop prices would be best to go off of, but as mentioned... their dicks... and also who publishers should be punishing if they think they're the ones pulling "slight of hand" not ordering new product when people want to buy new.
