I do the same thing. I rarely buy used/gutted, but if I do, I check the disc and reject if it's abused. They'll get another if they have one, if not I just skip it.
Yup, the first one got a retail release on the PS3.
There's a policy where PS3 games must be in english language before they get a physical release in the States. This is why KOEI games now or any other third party Sega, etc. won't release games physically anymore.
1. Musou games sell well in Japan
I brought a gutted copy and it is (slightly) scratched so that is why a lot of people avoid it if possible.
They sell sealed games? Because I know I quit shopping there out of principle. Don't sell me a clearly opened if not already used game as if it were new.
I did say you should open it, upon buying it. In that case they can't give any excuse. As far as sealed copied goes, they checked for me in the system and all local stores only had 1 copy....
eeehhh heeemm *cough cough*
I bought a game the other day that was sealed. I played it and wanted to return it. They told me no, because it was opened. Yes, that's right. An open game to them is not new anymore. See the problem?
hah, seriously. Honestly it amazes me how many people seem to have no problem paying for a 'new' game that is obviously used. Would you buy a box of cookies from a store that they dumped the cookies out, crumbled them up, and threw in a dirty sleeve. THen put the box out for people to paw and slapped a bunch of stickers all over it? Hell no. Why the hell do people tolerate that shit with their games?
But it was 10 dollars. I don't buy gutted copies of 60 dollar games. But it was 10.
There are people out there that are perfectly fine with buying gutted games at $60.
Exactly. If nobody bought gutted copies ever, Gamestop would have to change. But the sheeple still do, which is why Gamestop will always have gutted games.
Price doesn't matter. $60, $10, $1, I don't buy gutted games. I don't pay a new price for a used game.
Right. That's my threshold. Game has to be cheaper than $.01 for me to buy it gutted.
That doesn't explain how Aquapazza and KOF XIII got a retail release (since they're both in English in text, only JP in voices, Sega's Yakuza series and Project Diva are certain exceptions), besides, their rules these days for stuff like that are somewhat lenient for certain titles.
You're over thinking it.
