Buy new, feel that the feature isnt worth it, sell for $10-15 bucks. I'll be the first to sell my code for $18 bucks.

You don't think the codes will lock themselves to the console that uses it the first time? If it didn't then this whole thing wouldn't be a big deal at all.

im saying, dont even LOAD up and type in the code. i dont know if its a scratch off code like other things, but rental places usually take the game out and leave the stuff on the inside of the game case inside the game case. I have for years asked to rent out the manual as well as the game. if its in there with the manual, im guessing its not locked into anything until that first person uses that code.

who knows the legality of it, im just saying, some folks may want to save 10 bucks and never have the 365 feature and sell it to someone who bought it used.

I looked on XBL last night and the 365 code was 800 MS points. That's $10. I guess I'll keep my rental, and not send it right back.

Sure, buying it used at Gamestop when it is new isn't very smart. But, what about after it's been out for awhile and the price of a used copy drops to $40? Or people who use Goozex or just friends who trade among each other?

If I make something - be it music, furniture, clothing, etc... You have 100 people buy it - if those 100 people resell all of that USED that means 200 people have had my product, but only 100 people actually paid me directly. I just lost 100 chances at making a sale.

You might not agree with it, but it's business. You don't make things just to have people recycle your product. You want new sales on everything you make not used sales where you see nothing.

EA did what they had to do and I'm sure other companies will start doing the same thing. It just means us as gamers will have to be more picky about what we buy.


Again,
DNA IS IN THE GAME!!! It is a main feature that you don't have to pay for!

What you PAY FOR is the daily updates which only affect ONLIINE and Play Now!

Franchise mode has it's own string of DNA!!! No need to say EA is screwing you out of a main feature.

Even in the LIVE 365 video feature it says you input a code for the rights too it. It's not like EA is hiding anything.
