Is that before or after you get hassled with missing codes and such?

One thing I wonder is how much Rocksteady really has to do with this silly stuff. If I had to, I'd put money down on the influence coming from a bit higher.

Keep in mind that Rocksteady hasn't said anything to this effect, but kicking the golden goose for a little face saving generally isn't good business practice.

Eh, whatever. I still the developer, and I fully understand their viewpoint on used games.

It's completely nonsensical to compare used video games to used cars because the markets are so totally different. There is almost nothing that can be compared beyond the fact that the markets exist. The time it takes the original owner to turn around and sell a vehicle is considerably longer than the time it takes somebody to play a game and sell it used. Car manufacturers are not competing against their own products in the market place on any significant level. They're selling the latest model vehicles, while the used stuff is considerably older (at least, when looking at the grand scale) and the impact it has on new sales is negligible. Especially when most of the dealers (many owned by the manufacturers themselves) are selling their own used vehicles - this is something that doesn't happen in the video game industry because it wouldn't make sense.

But since you are unlikely to want to abandon the comparison, just think of it like this: The used copy is missing the code for Catwoman (or whatever else for whatever other game this might apply to), which is a lot like how a used car comes with wear and tear, several thousand miles on it, etc... Consider this the used games "wear and tear" and get over it.

At least with video games you can put a little extra cash into it to obtain all that content. I don't know where you buy your cars, but the last used vehicle I bought I wasn't able to throw another stack of cash at them to get the odometer reset to 0.

I wrote this article and I can assure you I confirmed with several Achievement websites that the Catwoman content is not required for the original 1000 Gamerscore. Therefore this is bonus content. I don't mind if anyone proves me wrong on this, but the information I've gathered so far seems to support my argument.

Then perhaps you should return to your hunting and gathering tasks, ye man of the past.

go someplace where there is internet and spend the 2 seconds it takes to download the catwomen pack.

I thought that first purchaser code was shadier than Crenshaw Pete with a coat hanger!
