Looks like a real challenge. I'm kind of afraid. :)

I'm so done with Sony and their continuing anti-gamer practices. Good luck guys.

Another WoW clone. A definite "no thanks." Too bad. The Neverwinter IP was awesome.

@Spankyspanky What you are stating here is the complete opposite of what every first semester economics student learns. When demand goes up, prices go up. When demand goes down, prices go down. That is why, for example, the media is asking Nintendo if they plan to lower their price on the Wii U. Demand is low for that console. People aren't buying it. The way to get people to buy it is to LOWER, not RAISE, the price. Raising the price of an item that isn't selling well to begin with would make no sense.

So what happens when people buy used games? Does the demand for new games go up or down? The answer is that the demand for new games goes down and, therefore, the price of new games also goes down. That's what Sony doesn't like. So, they are trying to eliminate the competition -- and by unethical means. It's called "cornering the market." If they successfully eliminate the competition (used games), they can charge whatever they want for games -- and they will.

It's all about greed. If buying used games drove the price of new games up, as you have said, Sony would be encouraging used game sales -- not trying to eliminate it. That would mean more money for them.

It's good that Sony is feeling the backlash for their greedy idea. If they ever go forward with it, it will do them much more harm than good.

@BuldozerX People hate them for no reason except that they are top dog. Some people just like to hate on something or someone that is successful. I've never had any gripes with Gamestop.

@j-bldes Uh...ya it's a business, not a charity. They are there to make money.

Meh. Looks like a pile of crap.

@youngzen69 I have yet to walk out of Gamestop feeling ripped off. They have used stuff for sale. If I like the price and I want it, I get it. If not, I don't. They let me trade stuff in. If I like the price they give me, I trade it. If not, I don't. <shrug>

@Saketume @kpolicoff You do have to consider the source. However, if it's only half of what they say it is, 30% is still a major hit to the console makers.
