Edge reports durango to block used games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RyanMurf]

Walmart, Target, BestBuy, KMart, Cosco...all of these stores are just as readily available as Gamestop. Gamestop is great for used games and used console systems, and you can find some real great deals sometimes on them, but it's nothing magical to buy new there. The costs are the same as the other stores; plus, the other stores have better policies when it comes to new games. People would just move on to other stores to buy their games.

Totally agree with you here. But the amount of gamestops per town don't even come close to the amount of single location Walmarts, targets, Costco.....especially, and kmarts. Just would be anywhere near as convenient anymore.

Don't know about anyone else, but I think that if a company announced that their console didn't play used games, Gamestop would refuse to carry it or carry much less.

They're the largest retailer of both new and used games. A lot of their profit comes from the latter. I'd imagine they have quite a lot of power over companies simply by choosing not to carry certain things.

If Microsoft and Sony really are looking to kill off used games I'm pretty sure that they weren't expecting full support from Gamestop.

There's plenty of other retailers where you can buy a new console and games.

Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, Best Buy, K-Mart and many other stores now sell used games, because it is pure profit for them.

I don't know how they'll manage to convince these stores it's worth stocking their product when they break a source of income these stores have been relying on for a very long time.
