Someone will buy a brand new game on day 1 for $60. Beat it in a week and trade it back in for $30. GameStop sells that same game to someone else for $55 and the original guy buys someone elses just released used copy for $55. Wow I just saved myself $5!!! Duhrhurrrr!
And then the cycle repeats itself.
GameStop is ripping off the industry, but more importantly they are ripping off the gamers, their own customer base, but they're just too ignorant to realize it.
Riiiight, because used game prices are in no way affected by the same devs your claiming GS if killing?
You think GS would price there games that way because they can? It'd be soooo much easier to make a profit under cutting the industry but GS doesn't. GS prices the games that way so that consumers don't feel obligate to buy a game used.
Think about it, from a business point of view it doesn't make sense to sell a game at 5 bux cheaper but they do because the relationship with devs would be shattered if they sold the games at 15 bux or more cheaper used.
Ignorance plays both ways in this argument.
