The used market is the only way that I'm ever going to buy games like GTA (Never worth full prce, no matter what the reviews say). Also, it's the only way to get hold of older games, including retro ones. I agree.

Besides, the publishers have to understand that people buy new games knowing that they have resale value. It's why people prefer Japanese cars over Chevys, even though the Chevys have caught up in reliability. The Hondas still have more resale value. You wanna connect with other gamers directly? Go online. There's eBay and Amazon and Goozex and Dawdle (Disclaimer: I'm a co-founder). Amen.

Every other industry has used sectors, why should this one be exempt? I think that the industry needs to stop it’s tantrums about the market for used games.
