oh yeah brother no doubt. sony is going to play it cool and let xbox take the fall. then as titles come out they will pass the blame to the publishers of the game.
anybody who works at gamestop better take some community college courses asap and look for another job, I see them going out of business in 2-3 years.

xbox will bounce back. people will forget about this by the time the console is released. they just need to justify why should we pay $100 more, and having a Kinect so the NSA can spy on me aint it lol

Lol. Fuckers deserve it. I mean I buy alot of used shit over there, but damn I remember trying to trade in a fairly new game for the 360 (Forgot what it was) a few months after release and they only gave me like $8 bucks in store credit or some shit. But, if they go out of business, I can't wait for the clearance sales lol

She made a decent arguement about gamestop being a big reason for a lot of these changes. In that they give you a few bucks for a game and sell that game at near full retail while keeping 100% of the profit. Many games don't make money, many lose money and really only the huge blockbuster type games (madden, cod and the likes) make good profit, but many others are hurting /struggling and so there is a big shift in gaming developers now making games for phones/tablets since they are so profitable. Thus by limiting trading / selling games to gamestop and the likes more money goes back to the publishers thus more/better future games.
This was her logic and argument, mind you. I whole heartedly disagreed, but was an interesting perspective.

I rarely shop at GameStop, because I think the stores suck for the most part. Sometimes you can get good deals on used games, but trading in games is a rip-off for the customer.
I didn't like Microsoft's policies with used games mostly on principle. Don't dictate what I can do with MY purchase.
Also, GameFly, while being kinda shitty as a rental service, is great for buying used games, especially when they have a sale. Not only are the discs is pretty good condition, the cases are in mint condition and contain any online passes or DLC codes that would have came with it if purchased brand new.

Lol yea man think about it,..they were fucked even before the launch,there was a good strong chance they werent gonna sell alot of those shits,so they have to think of something to get the people to buy them pieces of shit!...and then later?......they are gonna fuck over everybody who buys them and not give a fuck about what people think,just like they said last week!...they have plans,and they r gonna go thru with them,they just need to find a way to get these illuminati contraptions into peoples home!
That's a BS rant because Sony has always support indie games and already shown they will continue to do so with the ps4.
Look, gamestop is a faggot everyone agrees but MS shot themselves in the foot by trying to impose restrictions that gamers simply didn't want to accept. Also, I have no sympathy for game publisher's losing money or whatever, it simply means they need to be more creative and innovative to generate more profit.
And its not like digital games don't already exist and will continue to exist. I've purchased and downloaded plenty of games digitally as I'm sure everyone else has, the point is having the option.

That rant did make some sense, and I definitely see it from their point of view, but these faggots gotta understand, it's the consumer that's ALWAYS fucking right. We're the ones who are putting the money in their pockets. We are already having to pay 40-50 bucks a year on Live, and the BS map packs that they rip us off on. If they are bitching about how much profit they make, maybe they can start by looking at their overpaid ass CEO's and shit.
GameStop is a faggot for sure...I have literally bought new games there, opened them and came back in the same day to the same store only to have the value dropped to 25-32 dollar range...i sell my games on craigslist now only losing about 5-10 dollars..unless its sold out everywhere than i can get full retail back
