Perhaps it's a bargain in response for Xbox forcing the used game sales thing. I mean, on the face while this sounds awesome.
In reality, just how often will this be used by the average consumer?
To me it sounds like the old rebate "scam". Even when rebates are thousands of dollars... a lot of the time people just won't send them in. Regular people, not just real people.
Then add in that at least SOME of that saved money will be spent on other games. It's probably not as bad as you'd think.
Heck even the more mercanary of gamers are going to be hesiatant about WHO they add as their family. Unless you can drop and add family at will you want to make sure you don't end up with a mooch.
Meaning if you can't... we're probably just look at people who know each other well adding each other... and chances are a lot of THOSE people won't play games as much as the couple APLHA buyers. Meaning they're likely just broadening their horizens.
