Selling used games hurts them in their pocketbooks.

Besides, unlike what you got in a new game in ME2 (Zaeed/Cerberus network/guns), you get zip in ME3 outside of multiplayer support.  So there's not much harm in buying used.

People are getting $45 on Amazon.

Your a funny guy, when your not trolling the forums you should do stand up comedy.

They already sold 3.5 million copies new, not counting what was sold on Origin. (Those figures weren't released yet).

So, too little too late.

Too bad I'm on the PC, or I'd have sold it to gamestop and bought a brand new copy of MW3 just to spite EA.

Tied to my origin account. Look forward to this feature on your next, next gen console.

Not at all.  People did wait until after the game came out to buy.

You probably want to sell early before the bad news gets out.  Plus at least you get some money back.

The multiplayer's still good. And selling the game back doesn't hurt them much; they already have our money.

Could always short EA's stock if you really want to ****** them off. Though that might carry substantial risk if the company is competently run.... After further reflection, shorting EA seems like a sound investment IMHO.

Selling the game would make gamers look like complete douchebags. No matter how much I hate the ending I will NEVER go as far as to say it wasn't worth playing through the game. I loved the game, and BioWare does not deserve all the hate. The ending was ****, but they still made a very very good game overall.

Do it.

I unfortunately, don't have stock in EA.

I think they shipped so many. They are not all sold yet. And some people can give them back. I for one am hoping Bioware is doing something so I can make another playthrough. Right now I don't touch it. I can't play it if I always have on my mind what I'm headed towards.

I'm not selling the game. It's damn good except the last 10 minutes.

Some us still hold out hope for DLC to fix the game, though.

you don't need stock to short. basically you bet that the stock will decrease in value and instead of buying it you are given cash for w/e price you short at. Then say the stock dips 5%, at that point you could buy out your short position and lock in that 5% gain. Of course if they went up 5% you might get a call from your broker to cover making you lock in a 5% loss.

Normally this type of investment is considered risky, and I'm no expert, just food for thought.
