  Good Night Tampa Bay!

  Carolina Hurricanes came back from trailing behind Tampa Bay Lightning by three. They won in over time by a smooth goal from Eric Staal. That just made my night. I'm off to bed now. Next blog will be in video form. It'll probably be after my B-Day. So expect some cool stuff.

  EA and Epic want you to stop buying used.

  In a time where America's economy is down the toilet I am in no way surprised about EA and Epic Games move. If you haven't heard about it yet it's basically EA and Epic throwing an extra bone to people who buy their games new. For instance if you buy Gears of War 2 you'll get a one-time use code to get five OLD maps. EA has already shown their middle finger to used game stores by making Burnout: Paradise for download on PSN. EA has also done the one-time use code for Rock Band 2 and with that you'll get 20 new tracks for free. But it doesn't seem to stop there. EA has just put another one-time use code for NBA LIVE 09. With the code you'll be getting Dynamic DNA and NBA Live Rewind. These two additions have been talked about heavily for this year's game. But FYI if you buy it used the only way you can buy this content is through PSN and XBL for $20.00 bucks. Kind of makes buying that $5.00 cheaper used copy of NBA Live look horrid doesn't it... I've looked all around and have found different comments on this subject. These comments at Destructoid's and G4's websites. GuitarAtomik said on Destructoid "Honestly, I think it's awesome. Gamestop is ripping people off 95% of the time with the used games market and it's insane that they've gone so long pushing a product that gives the original developers nothing. It's about time the games industry started pushing back." Then a couple of posts down I found this quote from Superezekiel saying "Before anybody else posts. It's either DRM, or this. So get the **** over it. That's if you have a problem with it, if you don't, well then b***jobs for all!" G4's comment section had a different view on this. RedRingOfDeath posted "This won't stop used games sales. Who wants 5 old maps for Gears 2 anyway. Gears 2 is alrady a rehash of the last one with nothing new and giving 5 of the old maps just proves it." Then Tmidiman said "If they want me to buy more new games they should lower the prices. Money is not a problem for me, but $120 for just two games is crazy. Some games may be worth $60, but MANY MANY more are not worth it." With all this being said it makes me feel like I'm hearing static. So much complaining from both sides of the coin. I'm kind of gray on this matter. I do feel like bringing the price back down to $50.00 bucks would be helpful. But I also see the man & woman power behind these games that are made.Then when I do buy new I feel like I have paid to help them keep their jobs. I also feel like this plan is stealing game play, which should already be in the game. I honestly feel like this is a "You're stealing from me so I'm going to steal from you." vibe. So what's your opinion on this subject?
