Dude, why would Atlus care about people on Ebay making money when THEY can make money. They don't make shit from used game sales on eBay.

And honestly, it's a GOOD THING when games get reprinted. I shouldn't have to pay $80 for a used copy of Rez, when it costed $50 when it first came out. Fuck that shit, I like being able to get a new copy of a game.

Why the fuck do you have to be so selfish? Don't you think it's a good thing that more people are getting the games you love so much, so there can be more fans and more interest in sequels and shit?

Why should we get screwed and be unable to buy games just because you want to have collector's value. Dammit man, you want to have an investment, buy STOCKS or something, not VIDEO GAMES.

EDIT: Oh yeah, why did you buy the reprints of Rhapsody and Persona 2 if you have a problem with it? The best way to protest something it to NOT SUPPORT IT with your money. Buying those reprints merely shows Atlus that it's profitable to reprint games and they'll reprint MORE.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And unless you were planing on NOT opening the game, its the exact same thing as a new one because if you just ask the sales person, you can choose the cleanest, not scratched-"est" CDs. They're just sitting on the shelves collecting dust. So, I don't think thats a good enough argument for reprints.

Except they are still used.

There are some people, such as myself, that don't buy used games for various reasons, the major ones being product quality (I must have things immaculate), and support of the game companies. Buying used games hurts game companies just as much as downloading them, so it defeats the purpose of buying them in the first place.

I mean, I'd personally like to own a copy of Suikoden 2 and Valkyrie Profile, but I'm not about to spend $100+ to eBay users who keep 99% of that profit, and give none to the game developers. I might as well pirate the games, since they don't make money anyway.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
