CAGiversary!
Relatively new to CAG and relatively new to Xbox 360 (got one end of this summer) and I know of no better place to ask some newbie questions. I apologize in advance! I already asked for some older game suggestions earlier this afternoon and got a lot of helpful suggestions, so here goes a 2nd inquiry...
I was under the impression that when buying used games, you can't ever buy GOTY or Complete Editions b/c the codes would most likely be used already. I purchased RE5: Gold Edition new and used the code myself, so now that game could not be resold used as Gold Edition obviously and I thought this was the way it worked across the board when buying special editions with DLC/expansions.
But in looking at Fallout 3, per someone's suggestion earlier that I get the GOTY edition, I read that the expansions included are on a disc, not codes, and the extra content on the extra disc can be used multiple times, therefore I could buy this game used.
So my question is this: Is there any rhyme or reason to this (whether these are 1 time use download codes or discs containing the DLC) and is it just on a per game basis that I would need to research to find out which way the DLC is provided before considering used vs new?
I feel like a jackass for asking questions here, but thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to enlighten me. And again, if i'm using the wrong forum or if these type of questions don't belong on CAG, please advise so I don't make the same mistake again.
