Second hand video game sales have been around since the dawn of the video game industry and second hand sales have never been mentioned to be a problem until this current console generation. Do wonder why that is? I will tell you: it is because of greed plain and simple.
It is obvious that one of the main reasons why people buy used games is because it is cheaper than new games. And common sense on the most basic level dictates that if a company wants to increase revenue &...

Excerpt form article:
"Last week, Xbox World magazine leaked details it says it has surrounding Microsoft's next console, the Xbox 720. That device, according to the magazine, will include improved graphics, an enhanced motion-gaming experience with the Kinect 2.0, and a Blu-ray drive."
- Lol, what? I thought microsoft was not including a blue-ray drive in their next/future console. I guess they finally realized that the digital distribution only model i...
I was looking forward to sony having a black friday sale or cyber monday sale on some of their psn games like they did a year or two ago. Instead they had a sale on their useless movies & tv shows selection that no one that I know buys.
What makes me mad, disappointed, and confused is the fact that they will have a black friday or cyber monday sale on their useless movies & tv show sections that the general psn populace has very little interest in, but at the same ti...
I already bought Saints Row: The Third — The Full Package(includes all current dlc for the game on disc as well) for the PlayStation 3 hours ago for $24.99 which is 50% off the retail price on bestbuy.com. I have been waiting for a price drop on the game for a while & I finally took the plunge. If anyone is interested in the game for the ps3 now is the time to get a copy considering the limited time good price that it is now. I also think that you get a copy in some form or another of sai...
Nice, I already re-ordered the hardened edition of call of duty: black ops 2 because not only do you get the nuketown 2025 multi-player map, but you also get an exclusive zombie version of the nuketown 2025 map that is atm only available with the pre-order versions of the hardened & prestige editions of call of duty: black ops 2. If you pre-order only the standard edition of call of duty: black ops 2 you only get the multi-player version of the nuketown 2025 map(not the zombie version) fo...
Shareholders will be the main cause of the next video game industry crash which could happen in the near future. And the ceo's in charge of these video game companies don't have the balls to be a boss & talk some common sense into these shareholders by telling the shareholders how it is or will be in order to rake in good profits over time, & also the consequences in the piss poor courses that some of these video game companies are doing in the name of shareholder greed.
He was referring to the mk 3d games, not 3d fighting games in general.
Agreed, as soon as I found out that the hardened edition will have the exclusive nuke town zombies map I upgraded my pre-order from the standard edition to the hardened edition mostly for the zombies nuketown map.
It looks like treyarch is finally taking those steps of making an improvement concerning the franchise of making it fresh and moving it away from the mundane staleness that has plagued the series in recent years. Though I am not going to hold my breath in the promis...
Excerpt from article:
Why are people still buying Call of Duty games?
Answer: Imo, for me zombies.
I only buy treyarch's call of duty games exclusively for the zombies mode, though if they discontinue zombies in their future cod games I will more than likely not buy any more future cod games unless of course they come up with something better than zombies or develop a "zombies only" type of cod franchise. I have tried both infin...
@Captain Qwark 9:
FYI: The original model ps2 had an expansion bay which allowed an hdd to be installed, and correct me if I am wrong but the original model ps2 came out at least a full year or more before the xbox. I just thought that I would point that out before you start spouting out anymore untrue facts.
You want a good fps(s) try the time splitters series, it is for ps2 though(unless you have a fully backwards compatible ps3 or just a ps2).
It is a fun series and you can even make your own custom levels/maps. The series was from a company called free radical in which the company is/was composed of ex-rare(another game company) staff that were responsible in creating the original and legendary golden eye 007 and perfect dark games(+ other good games).
I hig...
My heart and prayers go out to the victims of the Colorado movie theater massacre.
I have a question:
How on earth was video games dragged into the situation of a massacre in a MOVIE THEATER???
Apparently violence that occurred in all forms that existed before video games were invented, the many unbiased psychological studies that prove that video games actually relieve stress and violent tendencies, and the millions of people that play video...
I just bought the ps2 version of this game last week and now I find out this!!! This has happened to me before concerning a few other ps2 game franchises/series. I do plan on getting this along with other ps2 games that are remastered in hd that are part of ps3 hd collections, but it will be a while before I get them.
I had wanted to get okami for ps2 for a while. I knew I should have waited a little bit longer before deciding to get the game, but I did not listen for some s...
If I could download big files in hibernate mode I would do it. Otherwise If I am not on or downloading something I shut my pc off and save 99% instead of 50% of energy consumption.
Excerpt from amazon:
"Resident Evil 6, along with digital copies of Resident Evil Director's Cut, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil 4 HD, and Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition redeemable on the PlayStation Network."
- I have all of the resident evil collection(the best versions of each game too) in hard copy form. So this would be a useless waste of money for me to shell out the extra cash for digital versions of re 1-5. If all of the d...
@2pacalypsenow:
Call of duty modern warfare 2 was made by developer infinity ward, call of duty black ops was made by developer treyarch. Two cod games each made by different developers, so get your facts straight before posting next time.
I only own a few cod games(The original, waw, and bo), and imo the zombies mode is the only reason why I play any present/future cod games. With the exception of the early cod games and waw, If any of the other treyarch cod game...
If anyone wants to play a game that messes with your mind try the game called: LSD: dream emulator for the playstation.
Sadly it was only released in japan, but people can get a hold of the game in one way or another either by importing it, having an account with a credit card that is able to be used on the japanese psn, or another means *cough*pirate it*cough*. I definitely recommend trying the game out for anyone that is interested in playing a game that is interesting and ...
WOW another cod title!?! YOU DON'T SAY???
If this anti-used game practice is adopted universally by game/console companies I expect the video game industry(for those who support it) to crash much worse than the video game crash of 1983, I guarantee it.
No intelligent common sense consumer in their right mind will be able to afford this type of draconian restrictive business practice even if every game got perfect scores and the economy is booming. If the online stores like live and psn are any indication 50,000 to 1...
