Some of you are comparing used game sales to piracy?????? One method the consumer is still dishing out $$, the other method the consumer is stealing property. Used Gaming is perfectly legal, and as far as I'm concerned not moraly wrong. Yes, used games from the monetary perspective is equivalent to piracy, but in terms of the individual THAT'S AN OBSURD COMPARISON!!! I understand the dilemna the developers and publishers face, and if EA feels the need to combat it then good for them. But seriously, the discounted sale of a used item is by no stretch of the imagination a new concept.

Glad it's just sports games for right now:)

Oh so because you throw money at it it makes it less hurtful. What a horrible logic. Just because you spend money does not mean it actually gets to the developer, which is the entity that should see the money.

I hate to break it to you, but as far as piracy and used games go, used games are far worse morally than piracy. "Not only will I deprve the developer of money, I'll make some for myself off his work." That's why used games are so morally fucked up.
