Penny Arcade did a comic about this in April... strange how it's back on the news with the same moniker (PlayStation Pornable) all these months later. Make sure to check out the Penny Arcade podcast about this strip, as it's frickin' hilarious. It's called "The Same As It Ever Was."
You dumped the cool and quirky soundtrack of Lumines for some crappy tune-of-the-moment MTV jukebox. Now you are charging for progression through the game? I was going to buy this game, no doubt. Now, I will not. I hope others feel the same way.
I agree. EB and Gamestop especially tend to rip people off when they trade in games and when they buy them used. But the one thing they do right is the huge bargain bin: with no set prices, I've found gems like Beyond Good & Evil and Final Fantasy Tactics for 3 bucks or less.
