| | | Gamestop is just a pawn shop for kids, really. Same slimy guy behind the counter willing to rape you on used games and resell them for 80% of the new price.

| | | lol, I don't have a console at the apartment, so I guess this doesn't really mean that much to me, but I think EA needs to give it a rest. The issue at hand isn't resolved by EA taking a slice of the resell pie, it's preventing gamestop and etc. from putting a 200%+ markup on their fucking used games.

: 70 th | | | I think that they are starting to get mad that people won't buy a copy of some of the sports games every year. People are starting to figure out its just a roster update and maybe one big (but ultimately flawed) upgrade. Just like this years Madden. All they added was the Madden IQ (which doesn't work properly IMO) and kept everything virtually the same.
I'd rather buy Madden 07 for $6, because its just as good as 09 but for 90% cheaper.

Certainly its a losing proposition for the consumer but it beats them sitting in the garage for 25 years and then ending up in the dumpster.

| | | I have no problem with EA. If you don't like them or their products, write your own or buy someone elses...
That said, I'll sell EA my plans for a time machine so they can go back 50 years and stop used record sales and prevent a precident being set with used content. Otherwise, they can go piss up a rope.
