DVD market was well on its way to establishment before the PS2 released. I had a dvd player around 1999 and payed around $199 IIRC.

Its not guaranteed to work, but I swapped boot drives a number of times prior to windows 10... Id set the laptop to boot into safe mode, then swap it into the other system, and hope for the best. :P

Doesn't work that way. Look at MLB The Show 09. It scored AAAE but has a PSP version so it is not counted as a PS3 exclusive

Outdated way of thinking. But that's SW for you.

It is silly, just like how 360 loses exclusives when MS publishes a game for both 360/PC (Mark of the Ninja and Mass Effect 1 for example)

Next gen this should change

If you sell your car than Ford or Toyota don't get any profit from that either. Why is this only an issue with software and not any other kind of mechandise?

probably because software doesn't show signs of wear
also cars need dat maintenance

dun get me wrong i want used games to continue to be sold.

[QUOTE="Captain__Tripps"][QUOTE="Miroku32"] Come on, then if that's so buying used products is something that should be punishable by law I admit that ppl are stupid in buying a game by $55 in Gamestop while buying it new is $60 but what if the game is like $20 or something like that?; where I live 3DS games cost $50 without taxes and I managed to buy RE:Revelations at $24 used. What would you do?; buy the game at $50 or buy the used one?xxxLUGZxxx

The gaming industry has you brainwashed into thinking that the developers deserve to continue making money off their game after it's purchased initially. Can't think of any other industry that has pulled this **** on the consumer. Once it's bought retail, it's none of their god damn business what happens to the game...they made the money they're entitled to.

Maybe if they sold games cheaper, people would be less inclined to purchase them used. Sorry, but taking a risk on a $60 game is a bit much to ask of the average gamer considering how **** terrible the games are these days.

Used games are argubley worse. If someone buys a used copy at gamestop for $55, that is real money that the publisher would have seen, that they dont for a savings of 5 bucks... a cheap pirate, likely would have not bought it used or new, but the used buyer would be more likely to buy a new copy if there was no used one available...

[QUOTE="DanielDust"] For companies, they are identical, but considering your post in that other thread, I wouldn't be surprised if you actually believed they aren't.DanielDust

Not at all, for a game to be used it has to be bought first... company gets money.. and is one copy....

Pirating ... the company doesnt get anything at all.. and can be many copies that isnt being paid for...

Steam is successful on its own merits. It doesn't block other digital stores from existing on any platform. Microsoft only wants their store to exist on some editions of Windows 8.
