Honestly, my opinion on this subject can't be clearer:
I wont buy a console that doesnt allow me to play used games.
I wont buy a console who does not have a physical medium.
The only way i would is if the electronic distribution cuts on the average retail price. If i cant resell my games they arent worth as much as they would if i could, thus im not willing to pay as much for them.
Now as for why companies like gamestop can sell the same game 3 times is very simple. They are buying the copy 3 times. The game publishers and developers just get ratty about this cause they arent getting a share aswell. Well, but last time i checked they arent re-buying their share from me when i sell my copy to the game store, so why would they be entitled to anything else besides what i already pay'ed them? They got no part on the second business. If they want in, then they have to go in on the buying part.
