I wonder how many of the removed OnLive coupons were "discarded" as instructed, and how many were just pocketed by employees for personal use or resale.

Can someone who bought the PC version NOT from Gamestop confirm if there was anything on the plastic about there being an Onlive voucher included?

@Jimbo: Youre only half right. The game is NOT property of Gamestop. If SE and Eidos were to tell GS to pull all copies of the game off the shelf, GS would have no choice but to comply.

How's it work then? I always assumed stores were buying games at wholesale price and then selling them on again with a markup.

Im not going to question whether or not this is legal.  However, I cant help but wonder if this violates the code of ethics that businesses are expected to follow.
 
Regardless, this is a very short sighted move by Gamestop.  They are launching their own version of Onlive, however wont they need the publishing companies to sign off on their games being used by Gamestop's service?  Didnt GS just essentially just shoot themselves in the foot here?
 
In the meantime, I think the appropriate response on the part of both Eidos and SE would be to deny GS advanced copies of future release titles such as Final Fantasy 14-2 and Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

" Mass Effect. It took me 6-7 hours alone to beat Matriarch Benezia, because I hadn't really specs too well, and I went to that mission first. I hated the game. I got past her eventually, and It became my favorite game ever. "

If I were to say Ironman, how many people wielding the ole torch and pitchfork could I expect on my doorstep?

Oh I have another one that I KNOW Im in the minority group for.  I actually liked Deus Ex 2.

For the record, I NEVER stated that I hated other FPS's compared to Halo.  I was able to pick up Halo 3 brand new for 13 bucks and ODST came with the Elite system I bought a couple months back to replace my first system.  I posted a few FPS games I enjoy playing but those didnt count because they werent "real FPS" games.  Which is funny considering Hitman doesnt consider Halo a "real FPS".  Like I said previously, I buy games based off what interests me and what my budget can afford.  Since I buy games of all genre's, certain games tend to get put on the back burner until they come down in price.

" Ok so my next game is only considered bad if you dont ask a fanboy.  But I really liked Final Fantasy X.  Its one of those games that may have done well in the reviews but great many of gamers despise the game for one reason or another.  So depending on who you ask, FFX is a good game or its a bad one.

I love FFVIII. Now that right there is an infinitely more controversial statement among the FF community of nutters.
