Two guys want to make a Gizmondo movie

May 2nd 2009 7:07AM (Joystiq)
I think it'd actually be pretty good since most of the movie would probably be centered on Erickson's criminal career and hopefully, the crash scene would be a climax scene of sorts.

I'd fire Sheriff Lucas Simms so I can literally throw the law at people.

Bungie: Game companies should pocket money from used sales

You seriously need to take ONE business law class and LEARN SOMETHING.

What you're saying would violate the First Sale Doctrine. To summarize, this doctrine states that once you purchase a CD/DVD/etc. you are free to do with that copy what you would like (sell/play/use as a coaster). You own both the license for that copy and the physical copy of the game itself. However, the license is attached to the physical copy so no making copies and selling the physical item.

To simplify things, once you buy the game, it's out of the developer's hands. To charge some sort of "licensing fee" after the sale would be double-dipping. Can you imagine car companies trying to charge a "reseller's fee" when someone tried to sell their used car? It doesn't make any sense, does it?

Believe me, I'm all for seeing developers make great games and succeeding, but violating the First Sale Doctrine and double-dipping sales is not "earning" anything from me (including my dollar).

If you guys don't want to give me your garbage, I implore you to pile it up into a big ball just in case the people of planet Earth need to deflect a smelly comet comprised out of garbage. Just saying.

Gamerush or Blockbuster when I can. It's all about being a CAG though.

Apple not just refusing cash, also refusing Apple Gift Cards for iPhones

Oct 29th 2007 2:46AM (Engadget)
I think that Apple may run into some problems with the gift cards though. Gift cards can be used to purchase products sold at Apple stores, even iPhones. Unless they feel like fully refunding people who purchased gift cards with the sole intent of using that gift card to buy an iPhone, I suggest they ditch this policy quickly. It's that, or they need to include a disclaimer notifying potential customers that gift cards may not be used to purchase iPhones.

If I don't win, I will have no choice but to activate the Ark and send this solar system into oblivion. Either that or I'll tell Jack Thompson that joystiq wants to meet in person for a face to face interview and apology.
