Many times this gen I've fallen into the hype and bought a game people raved about, only to play it for an hour and find it to be complete shit. I would then put the game on craigslist immediately and have it sold the next day for either 50-55 dollars or for a game trade-in.
I guess with the Xbone this is no longer possible. Either I buy a game, dislike it and get screwed over by keeping a game I'll never play, or I'll get screwed over by selling a one week old game at Gamestop or similar "authorized" retailers for a rip-off price of $35. I really hope Sony doesn't go this route, otherwise it's PS360WiiU for me. |
35 ?? Thats what you would get at the moment. But all of this used games deal is for a reason. That the Developer can charge authorized reseller for reselling the game.
Its not sure how much a retailer has to pay to reactivate an used game. But whatever it is 10-20-30 Dollar there is no way that reseller will give you the same money they do today. They will obviously give you less than today or else they won't make any profit by selling used games.
So if the Activation Fee the Developer demands is 20 Dollar. And the retailer would have given you say 35 Dollar for a new game. He will now give you 15-20 Dollar since he has to pay 20 for the reactivation and he still wants that 10 Dollar profit.
