rwfan2cPosted 2/9/2013 2:43:55 AM | There are games i have played that i would have NEVER played if i didn't randomly pick it up for really cheap at a gamestop buy 2 get 1 sale.
Call of Duty 4 is probably the biggest success story for me. I bought it on a whim with 2 other 30 dollar games so i got 3, 30 dollar games for 60 bucks. I would have never bought it otherwise. I played the multiplayer and loved it. I did not buy W@W but i did buy a hardened Edition of MW2 - 99.99 and a Hardened Edition of MW3 - 99.99 and a regular copy of both Black ops 59.99 and 59.99.
So long story short i may have bought that first one used which they didn't see any money for. But they got over 300 bucks from me retail because of it (That they wouldn't have gotten) and thats not including any DLC i bought for those games which was all of it for MW2 and MW3.

But they still didn't make any money of you when you got it used. true, and i can't argue that. however i can say they would have never gotten that 300 dollar + from me because at the time i had very little interest in the Call of Duty Franchise. (Mainly because i wrote off all Military Shooter immediately... and i kinda still do. Although i've been hearing tons of good things about Spec ops: the line... may pick that up soon.) --- XBOX GT & PSN: thetimeofthe9 Currently Playing: Heavy Rain, Assassin's Creed III, Tera |
CronoGuyverPosted 2/9/2013 3:01:53 AM | I got Call of Duty 4 brand new for 20, Halo 3 Legendary Edition for 30 new. Star Wars Sith Edition for 20. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Prestige edition for 40. I bought every ultimate edition of the games to date at prices far below their original suggested retail prices at bestbuy on their sales. Why pay 20 for used game, if you can get new game for the same price or even better for just little more. Your point is mute.

darkness1018Posted 2/9/2013 3:02:15 AM | I did the same thing a few times. I bought Gears of War 1, Assassins Creed 1 and Dead Space 1 used and loved them. Then i bought all the sequals brand new and in the case of Gears of War 3 i bought the LE 360 system and the collectors edition of the game itself. Also bought the LE Assassins Creed 2 game and Dead Space 2 CE game instead of the reg editons. If not for used games i wouldve NEVER spent that much money on the series.

Because CoD4 new at that time i think was still around 34.99 (may be wrong there). 2. I bought it because i did not see a single other game that i wanted and i needed 1 more for the buy 2 get 1 free. 3. i would have never went in to gamestop and came with 1 copy of Call of Duty 4 brand new at the time.. even if it was 4.99 brand new. 4. Also the word your looking for is "Moot" not "Mute" --- XBOX GT & PSN: thetimeofthe9 Currently Playing: Heavy Rain, Assassin's Creed III, Tera |
CronoGuyverPosted 2/9/2013 3:46:32 AM | Actually, I meant MUTE as in no bloody sound was actually made just bunch of hot air and useless attempt akin to some unintelligible motion.
Moot point would actually mean that the point was intelligible to begin with.
I got COD4 within first month of its release, it was 59.99 for months afterwords.

That copy was already paid for, publishers aren't entitled to anything past the first purchase, they didn't lose a damn thing. --- I am a dedicated member of the "Walter Sullivan Is Bad-Ass" group!!!
