It's not that developers are trying to hurt gamers themselves they are trying to go after stores like gamestop who are making money hand over fist on used games. Most people don't even buy new games anymore unless it's a game they really want, instead they just wait to buy a used copy which is usally only 10 dollars cheaper anyways. How many times a day to you hear people say "oh I'll just buy a used copy later",???

They've all got that "pre-order bonus" BS with the likes of Gamestop anyways, forcing people to buy at their stores if they want to actually get the complete game. They can't do one thing and cry about it at the same time. Besides, game prices are $69.99. Especially when A LOT of games aren't even worth that price tag. Especially when those very companies try to pull a fast one on you and expect you to pay for the rest of the game despite *you* already paying full price. Some people can't do 59.99 and 69.99 all the time especially the given current financial status of a lot of people. Maybe devs should actually make an effort to make a game good and complete and get the word out to us consumers to buy it. There are no excuses what so ever (imo)
I get what your saying I also think pre-orders bonuses are B.S I'm just going of the mind set of the developers. They are just upset that they don't have a piece of the used game pie. So naturally they are trying all sorts of scheme's to make an extra buck. Gamestop is just as guilty in this story as the developers if Gamestop was smart they would just give a small percentage to the developers otherwise game makers will continue to find ways to kill the used game market.
Sony just bought Media Molecule, though, and that's after one game, namely LittleBigPlanet. Wouldn't they have bought Insomniac years ago if they wanted to?

Insomniac doesn't want to be owned I'm sure Sony has offered to buy them in the past. I think this rumor is B.S it reminds me of one of those a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy over heard that Insomniac is going multi type rumors.
Not going to happen I would chalk this one up as another wild rumor. That someone either took out of context or decided that by creating this rumor they would get more hits on their site.

I don't think IGN would be the type to need more hits. Ahh but they are that type, all the gamesites have flame topics to get more hits not just IGN.

who really give a fly fudge!!!! I'm against all waggel controllers even NIN's, I would imagine it would be pretty hard to track 7 moves with the eyetoy anyways.
