I went into GameStop, was discussing E3 with the manager cool guy, He mentions that He was sweating listening to the press conference, and let out a huge sigh of relief once Sony made they're used game ether

My question is What value does the used game market have on the company, can't they sell brand New games and systems and still be a strong organization?
Nonetheless, Sony saving jobs outchea :salute:

I would assume( well I just about know) their profit margins are extremely small, so while they probably could stay in business, you wouldn't see a gamestop every 10 miles like you do now..:russ:

nope not different at all ... it sucks that we will have to pay for online play

but since its only 5 dollars a month I think I would have traded that for the ability to buy used games I think its the sacrafice sony made to have them... no one is happy about this ... but at the end of the day the pros outweigh the cons .... since Im saving 100 dollars instead of buying the xbox one I can pay for 2 years of PS Plus instead ... which in turn will save me money by giving me Ps Plus games ... then I can buy used for everything else
