That's not entirely accurate, though. While they'll buy just about anything, if it sucks and they know they aren't going to move it, they'll buy it for a dollar or less. You won't see a game for cheaper than five bucks in that store, so using your example, they buy fifteen copies of a game for a dollar each, and sell six for five bucks a pop. Their expenses are $15 and their profits are $30, plus they've got seven extra copies of the game in inventory, which they can either sell through the online shop or keep in stock for the next time someone wants a copy. Yeah but you also got to figure the more a game sucks the more copies that are going to come in to the store and the less they are going to sell of said game. I think the used game market is more driven by word of mouth than anything else so if the game has bad word of mouth the store isn't going to sell as many copies.

I will personally be looking into an XBOX 360 now. I can understand the frustration of someone going to EB or Gamestop and getting shafted for their game but I would rather have that option to get shafted and make some money back on a crap game than to not have any recourse other than to become extra picky with the games I do buy. As for the game stores offering up crap for your used games it's pretty much works out in a slight profit for them. Now I know you are sitting there shaking your head going offering $20 for a brand new game only to turn around and resell it for $45 is not a slight profit. But you have to factor in that they accept pretty much all the games, even the absolute garbage So while they might take in 15 of one game they might only sell six of them. As they are running a business and trying to do so profitably it only makes sense that you aren't going to get the best deal from them. It's the same thing with a car, they offer you $500 for your clunker and they turn around and sell it for $2500.

Next summer is looking to be almost as explosive as this year release wise.

Did you really not include the original Superman (starring Christopher Reeve) and its sequel on your best comic book film list? Otherwise it was an excellent show.
