Master of RKO Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 No new here. EA has started doing this with their games with madden 11 and ncaa 11 and so on. Because of the economony is bad right now. Game companies are lossing money in game sales. Now companies like EA and THQ doing extra things for online to increase money by making people pay for extra stuff now. It's kind of BS to me.

TheNetworkZ Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Good thing I buy all my games new, not pre-owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRadiation Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Best news I could have asked for really. This will drive down the costs of 2nd hand copies in stores which means if I ever decide to buy SvR 2011 (not likely but if I ever do) I'll get it much cheaper than the norm and THQ/Yukes won't be getting my money. Win win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis222. Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I always buy svr on the release date, but that is still bs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anyel Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 OK, sorry im spanish and here it is said "Juegos de segunda mano" which is in English something like second hands videogames. I didnt know that pre-owned was the word with that meaning. Well, as Cliff Blezinski(or what his name is written X-D) said, they shouldnt punish the preowner gamers, they should give a reward to the ones who buy a new game.

MrBrightside1189 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 This is such a petty thing for gaming companies to do. The reason game sales are going down are from a number of variables, not just from buying games second hand. They also have to consider the fact that because most games have online play now, the replay value is much higher and you spend more time on one game. No longer is it "beat the game, trade it for another, beat that, trade it, etc." Many players can spend months on one game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamXtreme2000. Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 [i]I always buy brand new when possible. Second hand games round my area are like £10 cheaper than the new game anyways! . I only own several pre-owned games, and thats because I've bought an older game which is rare to find new and sealed [/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoned Clown Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 rather than doing this THQ should start making decent games, fair enough svr is best wrestling game around. but saints row isnt much more than a comedy san andreas, metro 2033 wasnt as good as fallout, 50 cents games was bloody awful [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=496-HyZi0oI[/media] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choas eagle Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 is this like the thing with Skate3 where you have to have a code to use online features? if so then it doesn't bother me because i always buy games new, only time i brought pre-owned was COD5. i only really buy older games (like ps1 for £1) pre-owned.

Generations Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I didn't think people could actually fail to understand the concept of something being pre-owned. Welcome to Caws.ws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
