Thoughts on used games

So over the years I've been going to EB/Gamestop, I've notice the amount of used games there are at the store. The most recent game I got used was Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 Sigma which I recently had an urge to play for some reason, pretty good stuff. So the main point I wanna point out is that whenever I walk into a store, about maybe 1/4 of the walls, maybe less then that actually, is filled with used games. This is actually really sad to look at, whenever I see it I'm just like "man just look at all these used games gradually pilling up", and just some of the conditions that they are in too. Another thing I wanna point out are gutted copies of games. This is when they take a couple of new sealed games, open them and put them on the shelve for display. Worst case is when they run out of new sealed copies and have to resort to selling the guuting copy to the customer, fpr the same price. First off, if you open a new copy of a game, its now used, I don't care what you say. Even if its "like new" its stil like used now son. Honesty I think if your going to gut copies of games you might as well just sell them used now. Another thing are prices, now 5 bucks less for used I'm fine with that I guess. But sometimes when you have a used copy that cost more than the new then there something wrong, maybe its an outdated sticker tag or they're just lazy to just change it which I can understand I guess.

 

But yeah, thats's mainly some of the stuff I wanted to talk about. What are your thoughts on the whole used games situations. Do you buy used games? Why do you buy them? Is it because you proably can't find them anymore or cause they're cheaper? Do you not like it? I'd like to know.
