Exactly this. However, their pre-owned deals are extremely good value.

Good deal for the customer, not the person who traded them in ;)

Don't you mean not for the game developers/manufacturers and good for the customers? Seeing as games developers don't make any money from sales of pre-owned titles, which is why companies are putting stocking prices up to deter this, along with the rumours that the next generation of consoles may include a "one console per game" lock system

My loyalties do not lie with the server, players or game, no. They lie with the two men who built and sustain this community, for without them, there is no Argonath RPG

Of course. I shit you not, Game wanted to give me one quid for about 10 XBOX 360 titles, all of which were relatively new (3-5 years old). But then again, I hardly ever trade in games, so I don't really care.

This was one of the main reasons for the whole GAME/EA controversy. If you go into the store and ask for a title, and they have it pre-owned, they will encourage you to take that copy instead of paying the full retail price for a brand new copy, which in turn was losing EA serious money.

I can't stand EA to be quite honest with all the bullshit that surrounds them such as the decision to realse day 1 DLC, but I guess business is business.

I hope this doesnt end the same as the CD shops, as less and less people are going to buy, but instead of it download the music.
Ofcourse its easier and cheaper to download the music, but seeing as CD shops get closed by this and the music artist would make less money, it might turns into a total mess in the music / game instustry..

Sorry, but music artists making less wat??
