brentalfloss is sooooo good. If you get a chance to see him live you should he is awesome in concert!

Here's the thing... The margin on first-sale games is extremely low. I run a smaller game store and we pay usually $53 for a game we sell for $60... that's $7 profit... That's horrible considering how many games you actually buy that DON'T sell.

Basically the only way we or Gamestop (who prob pays less per game I'm thinking around $48 bucks cause they buy so many) can stay open is to make a larger profit in selling USED games.

If a law was passed to stop the selling of used games it would destroy the entire video game market. It would be a disaster. The only reason Best Buy carries games is to get people in the door so they will buy other products while they are there so they can profit.

If Gamestop wasn't able to sell used products it would be terrible for the entire industry and I think this is the main reason why Game Companies don't try to pursue making selling used games illegal.

Also moving to entirely digitally downloading games is defiantly over 10 years away. How many farms and rural areas still can't even get high speed internet. Just because you have it where you live don't assume the whole country has it yet. I do think that physical discs will be cut to about 60% of the sales of games in the next ten years due to downloads though.
