@Darnasian Actually the comparison is not bad imo, its a matter of perspective, you and probably others may see it as bad while others and myself see it as good. There are some companies that believe a product is your property once you buy it from a retailer, there are companies that believe no matter what their product will always be there property even if you paid full price for it (many enforce dcma). Im not sure how things work in your part of the land, but in this corrupt land of mine (USA) "usually" and i use that term loosely, rights holders, distributors, or merchants have no claim to cash once YOU buy that particular product. Same with movies, different product same circumstance...ironically Hollywood (which is the MOST corrupt) does not say used video markets like blockbuster, redbox, etc are damaging the movie industry. No other industry says the used "fill in the blank" industry is destructive to them. This was my point of saying that is this, rent a center, red box, blockbuster, any car lot, used home agency, all have been seen in a just light, needed for those who want the product but not at full price and yet they do not complain about lost sales due to used products.The Gaming industry is the ONLY product based industry that has a usually set price for all mediums, and push expansions. Movies go for 12, sometimes 20 dollars, games 60, sometimes 70 no matter the quality, you can return cars, homes, movies, clothes, even food but not games. They all have the same thing in common, you buy a product, you own that product, but one industry does not allow you to return their product, and thats how they are similar. At least in my opinion my friend

I am so tired of hearing about they spoiled creators not getting their cut from the "used games market".. It literally blows my mind that garbage games and top rated games are priced at 60 bucks new, with dlc and add ons coming left and right, not to mention EVERY game you buy now is technically a beta. Its like one day Hollywood woke up and forced its creepy, greedy, self centered, self righteous values onto all most game companies. We never hear about the used cars market being a threat, or the used homes & apartments being a threat, but somehow game companies are crying that they don't see their cut of an already purchased beta disc ?????? You guys got your cut when that guy/girl went out and brought your game, what happened after that is not your business, we gamers don't you all a d@mn thing else.

600$ is not overpriced ?? im not sure what your thinking but in 2006 600$ for a gaming/blueray was way too high. It may not be that pricey compared to todays standard but that WAS overpriced in 06. Sorry, sales will prove you wrong on this issue friend. @shadowhunter0
