I always trade in games though to buy a new game. So no used sales would basically cause me to buy hardly anything at all. I am stubborn like that. I am sure many are the same. Or they would just take longer to save up.


That's what I do too.  Games around here cost up to US$100, so selling old games is even more important here.


Where do you live exactly ?

they won't lower the price, but they will also not increase the game prices which they have to under normal conditions.

or something like that...

Indeed wishful thinking, no used games will hurt the market big time.

Honestly... take used games away... Lower the price by 33% and I'm down.


I'm down too...Games today aren't worth $60 IMO.

It cost approximatively 6$ for a 2 hours movie at a cinema, and 60$ for a 6 hours long game ...

Where do you live? In Germany it costs 8-10€ to see a movie (+ ~8€ for drinks+ popcorn/nachos) and 40-60€ (PC games are near 40, most console games between 50-60€) for a 6h long game. Still overpriced (if you don't include drinks and popcorn into the price for cinema), but not nearly as bad.

5.5 Euros for a movie in belgium (most of the time), and I buy all I need at the supermarket (Low cost potato chips 49 cents, 1.5 l soda, 45 cents)

They will do the first part, but they would burn the whole industry to the ground before doing the second part.
