@maajin: I just wanted to say that at the time I was starting this thread, the One had just been announces and everybody was hating on the used game aspect of the console. It was probably because I was spending a lot of time on Kotaku and GAF. It also seemed crazy that to me that people relied so heavily on used games. I was surprised because almost this entire generation I was saving tons of money buying games brand new at nearly half the cost by just waiting for an online sale. I thought more people did this but apparently I was wrong.

@egg: what do you mean "plant"? I swear gaming communities are the worst. I don't understand what the point of a discussion is if your motive for adding a comment is to be as vague as possible.

@andorski: Jesus I hate this argument. Games are different. Not only do you not buy 5-10 cars a year, but the game industry already has examples where you can't sell a game after you bought it. You can't resale a pc game that you physically buy at the store. You also can't resale mobile phone games, xbLA, PSN, or any other downloadable game.

@jay_ray: $30 for dishonored is still a pretty awesome price. I was surprised by how much I liked that game.

I think that part of the reason why none of this bothers me is because I've never been the type to buy a game the day it's released. The only exceptions have been the halos and bioshocks. Otherwise I have no problem waiting a month

@liquidus: Maybe For brick and mortar stores, what about online shops? I usually get brand-new games on Amazon.com with considerable savings. Cheaper than buying used in a lot of situations.

@kishan6: Sorry, first post. Not wise to the GiantBomb etiquette yet.

@toowalrus: I've read that, and believe it, but even though that article exists, it seems that lately everyone on the Internet denies it and refers to hating on the system. I think Microsoft at least deserves a chance to prove themselves.

Maybe I'm just a special case, but provided that what Microsoft has said about its used game approach (as opposed to Internet meanderings) is true, is it really that bad? I come from a camp that believes the developer should be able to make as much money as possible for the entertainment they make. They've been doing it forever on pc, why not consoles? But more importantly, if the advantage with used games is being able to buy titles at a discount, why not just wait for the game to go on sale? I bought Dishonored, brand new for the 360 two weeks ago for $12 on amazon. I have consistently found titles go on sale. So much in fact that I can't remember the last time I bought a used game. It's worked out for me extremely well. Why don't more people feel this way? You don't even make much money selling back to GameStop so why do people care?

This is my first post by the way. Asked the same question on NeoGaf and got banned. I don't understand that place. Hope things go better here.

Your a very gifted and respectable individual, so by default, your father must have been an amazing man. I hope you find peace in his memories.

I knew this was going to happen so I downloaded papa quash immeadiately. Nobody has heard of jsjoust but everyone I've played papa quash with love it. Gameloft copies games all the time, more offensively in my opinion. This is just a game mechanic, and it's a shame that they were bullied into taking it down because It copied a game that hasn't been released yet.
