wow...so much fail in so few posts. Used games are a good thing, people part with their games for money, they then use the money, to buy new games.

Then people that want to buy new games come to the store, and see the cheaper used version, and buy that.

It does much more harm then good, and developers will be the first to tell you that.

 


Not so, If you want a game whn it first comes out, you buy itm then you play it, either you get tired of it, or find out it isn't all that great, either way, you sell it. you use the money to buy the next big game that comes out. you couldn;t do that if nobody bought used games. 

I know. But if people couldn't buy used games, many would be forced to buy new games, and that would easily make up for the people like you.

Hardly, People are more apt to buy games if they know that they can sell them down the road. Also, as a true gamer, I realish that fact that more people can afford to game. 

That's fair, but try a site like ebay then. You cut out the middleman and both sides benefit from it.

Axtually, all my games have been purchased from Amazon as of late, although I do realize I'm screwing the small business owners and their employees by doing so...but, I'm all about the best value, if you can't give me the best value, I will go to somebody who can.

Devil May Cry 4, Ratchet and Clank, Dark Sector, Bionic Commando, and Prince of Persia. Buy 2 get 1 free used on DMC, R&C, and Bionic commando came out to be $45. Dark Sector another $9. Prince of Persia new for $20. Came out to be $70. Subtract employee discount because I have friends who work there and voila! It was like $59.

 

Either that or inFamous but I think I'll get more out of these games than that one :D

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Combine it with their $20 game sale like I did (see above post) and it's probably the biggest deal this gen will ever see.
