I think providing the incentives to buy new (like the bonus content in Batman Arkham City and Mass Effect) or to hold on to games for longer (like the Season Passes in games Like Gears of War 3 and Forza 4) are the way to go. It doesn't stop people from buying second hand by rewards first time buyers.
Banning used game sales completely will just promote piracy, as would Microsoft's rumoured plan of stopping used games from being played. |
Mass Effect's free content feels good on the surface, but keep in mind that you need a Cerberus Network code to get at their bad-ass DLC, too. Used customers end up spending a lot more on ME2 if they decide they like it enough to get more DLC. It's like some kinda trap. I steer people away from used ME2s (when we have them in, which is rare) with all the fervent passion of a thousand suns.

So you needed the Cerberus Network to play The Lair of the Shadow Broker, Arrivaland Project Overlord? Didn't realise that. Hardly mattered to me as I managed to pick the game up new for £15 (total bargain). Though I did dislike how if I didn't ahve my Xbox Live connection it stopped me from saving my game, that got really frustrating.
