Selling a game for $60 that isn't worth that much is worse. That's why copies end up in the used games store in the first place.

Companies could use DLC to reward people who keep their copies and don't sell them back. A new copy (at standard price) comes with a code that gives you access to all DLC that will be free of charge. People who buy used need an online pass to access all that free DLC. There, that's a much more consumer friendly solution which ultimately would benefit companies more than their current practices.

Thats exactly what EA does.....Thats what i was saying lol

No, EA charges for DLC. Their current online pass is only for online multiplayer functionality. Before DLC, EA would have put the content that is missing in Tiger Woods 12 on the disc at no additional cost, but today they are increasingly ripping off people in the hopes to increase their bottom line. If all DLC were to be free, then companies most likely wouldn't abuse it.

My idea (which you didn't quite understand) isn't the ideal scenario anyway, but it's far more consumer friendly than the current DLC practices while still helping companies on their mission to prevent people from selling their games back to the stores.

Your idea, is the same thing EA has done for the battlefield games, dante's inferno, dead space, and even mass effect and a ton more. They sell the special edition (which only last about a month) and then anything after does not include the free dlc. The online pass only affects people who buy used and even then it includes a free 2 day trial so that you can return the game before its a final purchase (all used games have a week long money back guarantee).
