Hm. Could have sworn the 28min video was linked to me by you. Could have been back in the IRC days or something as I rarely go looking for this stuff myself. Looking over the used game arguments he brought forth back then, I still completely disagree with it.
He brings up Gamestop and GAME primarily as reasons why it's horrible. And to that point I'll agree. Buying used games at Gamestop and GAME at 5 dollars off New prices is indeed detrimental - but at that point it's the gamers doing it to themselves.
They don't HAVE to buy gutted games to get 5 bucks off - and we know they buy those games because in a lot of cases the NEW copies of those same games are in the exact same condition anyway. What games should do is demand the new product to be unopened, like I do. Rather than just buy used copies to save a couple dollars just because it's the same condition.
Ok I think I'll stop before I launch into a rant about that again. ^_^
