Is anyone gonna pay $54.99 for a used game?

I was at gamestop the other day and i noticed they have used copies of relitively new releases for $54.99. I thought "holy crap that is way to much for a used game." Honestly is there anyone who is going to pay that price? I personally would just buy a new copy for $5 more.

If you're saying that they're fairly new releases, then of course I would pay less.  Paying $5 more for something of about the same overall quality is kind of a dumb move.

Of course if they were older, then of course I wouldn't.

I wouldn't

I wouldn't, except if it's for older releases that I really like. heh, I paid 100 for my Suikoden 2 after all...

I did for the Gears Of War Collector's Edition. I should have waited but it was a good deal considering it was in great condition.

Yeah I would rather just pay the extra $5 to.

No way.

nope

For me Iv'e had bad luck with used games, that had zero scratches and marks,  working fine at first and then working like a peice of shit after it is to late to get my money back. Thats the main reason I'd pay $5 more.

The sad part is that the person probably traded it in for less than $20.

My brother and I are looking for a PS2 copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2 which runs at Gamestop for $80 which we will happily play.

Hell no I wouldn't, unless they give it to me and I don't even realize its used... but other then that, no.

If it's really new, then yeah. But old games no way

nah. the only exception is if its some rare rpg. just go on ebay to buy games you'll save a lot more.

I'd definatly go with the brand new release. It means the discs could be faulty, could be a beta build of the game or even an import that has been sold.

Well it depends really. Used PC games I wouldn't, because many people just buy the game, and take the CD-Key and register it to their usernames. But I might buy console games, seeing as there is no need to fear the ability to play online. Although, if I really do support a company and really like what they are doing and what they represent, and are not some mindless corporation, then I would buy their game. Remember buying used games equal no money for the game developer, rather all the money goes to the store (i.e. Gamestop, EBGames, etc...).

Sure if its new and in good condition

No, I would preffer to buy a new game for a few bucks more. I mean if it were a rare game I would totally go for it but not for relatively new releases.

I don't buy used games unless they are relatively cheaper or if they are pretty old. I recently got Vice city for like 8 bucks used, it works fine.

Agreed. $55 for a used game is ludicrous.

No, I would pick up the game new for $5 more just for it being in better condition than some used games are.

i rather get it new for that price

So true. Gamestop screws you over on trade ins."

Plus I dno't buy used games, I am a games collector and that is just unacceptable. :P

Depends on the game.. but signs points to no.

If it's a PS3 game I would because it's hard to mess up PS3 games unless your just rough with your stuff.

I work at a GameStop and most ordinary consumers would opt for the used game no matter how much cheaper it is.  I agree with what Sansname above me said, I would rather the money go to the developers.  But, if I'm just paying an extra $5 for plastic wrapping, it's not worth it to me.
