I haven't bought a used game since I was a teenager. I'm not knocking it, but I'm reading some people saying if they block used games they wouldn't buy the next gen systems... I know gamers like to ? because theyre*insert KOA joke* but this is crazy... Or I'm just crazy.


I say if we take out used game... Cut the game price by half and everyone is happy.

    I enjoy selling old games. Helps me purchase new ones. If people stop buying used games because they cant play them anymore then i cant put that money i would have gotten towards new games which sucks

    Basically, both the XBone and PS4 will have DRM and the Sony stans are in denial about it.

    I don't really get rid of games. I'm proud of my collection. But that's just me. Read reviews before you buy games. It's your fault if you buy a bad game.

    with demos and redbox, i dont see any reason to buy wack games anymore. this is why i laugh at dudes who complain about an ip like infamous and killzone, theybought it and was mad they aint like it. both games had 2 gb sized nearly hour long demos on psn weeks earlier, and you still went out and blindly bought it w/o trying? lmao

    I trust no reviews cause most of them are paid off that's why I have gamefly and if u like the game u could keep it and they sell u the game at a good used game price unlike gamestop's prices.

    Disagree. Well, somewhat. ? could look good and have decent reviews but just not be your cuppa tea.

    That's why you actually read thru the review instead of just scrolling to the bottom to get the numbers.

    I buy used only cuz my attention span for games is so short they aren't worth $60 yo me. I dont even get games when they first come out. ? im about to get Black Ops 2 and Halo 4 for less than $60 together used.

    i only buy used games unless it's something i've been waiting on like gta 5 or bioshock infinite and/or pre ordering or buying on release will give you exclusive in-game content, but it's rare. so it would suck if used games became a thing of the past. but ultimately it's not a game changing decision when deciding which next gen console to buy.

    Arkham Origins should be a first day kop for anyone who has ever posted in the Arcade
