This week we’re talking about pre-owned video games and ask the question, do you buy new or do you buy used? Do you sell your games? We answer some listener comments and hit on a few hot topics:
- Another Call of Duty set for release in 2009 (1up)
- Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII isn’t even started yet!
- Blizzcon Pay-Per-View, OMG.
- PlayStation Game, Fat Princess, is the new focus of game haters
We’ve also got a bit of history on The Golden Age of Arcade Games and we take a gaming flashback to Mario Brothers, the original non-super version.

Hey guys, It’s me again. yesterday was my birthday and I got Command & Conquer 3 for the Xbox 360, and a lot of other stuff, but, This leads to the question, what is your favorite RTS out there for any console including the PC? For me it would be C&C 3, not because I just got it, but because it’s a well developed game that balances each faction (The different races in the game).
Thanks guys, I love your podcast!
Hey!
First time listener and I must say your cast rocks! Keep up the good work!
As an indie developer I see no problem in pre-owned games. If a game has good replayability and is worth playing over and over you keep it, if it is more or less a one time thing… well…
I guess it is up to developers to make games that are enjoyable multiple times and/or keep their games alive if they don’t want gamers to sell their games.
I have bougt pre-owned games to my gamecube. I have never sold a game…
