I almost always buy new. Any used games I buy are no longer sold at retail.
When it comes to the online passes that EA is now selling, I agree with you completely. However, I'm with the buying new to support the developer over paying a company like Gamestop $5 less than the retail value, especially considering that $5 less is usually equal to what you can get it for new at a place like Amazon.com.As far as supporting the industry, the way I see it, a publisher/developer already got their cut on the initial sale of the game. So what if it gets bought/sold 100x after the fact? That's the consumer's right.
