This comment was simply moronic but nothing compared to political and religious zealots trout out when talking bout abortion rights,immigration, stem cell research, evolution or many of the social programs that many lower income people depend on.

Where does this leave Rightheaven lawsuits based off media news partnership? Also if its determined that Rightheaven had no standing is Medianews on the hook..?
WTF are saying there, I'm either tired or drunk maybe both...
"The cost of a new car pays for the factory it was built in, factories that cost money. When you buy a used car, you have not helped pay for those factories."
OK so i buy a new car that pays for the factory that it was built in and after after a few years i decide to sell it and take the money i made and buy another new car that pays yet again for that same factory. So you have an issue with what? Please don't tell me you think that the auto manufacture deserves to keep collecting off the one purchase?
Well if you are one the first you may get 40.00 back but i highly doubt that. I would think it starts @ 30 something and starts dropping fast to maybe 15 or 20.
The fact is Gamestop is making more money selling one used game than a new one. It's all greed and fear. Gamestop knows eventually a majority of game publishers will set up digital distribution methods and Gamestop wouldn't see a dime so lets gouge now. The publishers been the stupid moron that they are are pissed Gamestop is gouging first and what some of the action.
"Crap happens. Printing company was told to use a certain field from a file, and a programmer chopped it at 19 characters instead of 25. "
Well they never should have it in the first place. This what happens when you start to nickel and dime people willing to pay a premium to play your games.
To make thing even more tragic for consumers if you have an Xbox 360 and would like to have Netflix you have to be a Gold member(60.00) and now pay the 7.99 streaming plan to Netflix also. Its all greed and fear that's running things now these days. The thing that gets me further pissed off about all these they make no mention of the extra you might have spent on downloaded DLC. They just want more cash from Gamestop.
To play games on Xbox Live you need their Gold service which close 60.00 yr, auto recurring. The online pass that these companies are starting to sell is because of Gamestop is making a killing selling used games a few bucks off what the new game would cost.
New Game 59.95
Used Game 54.95
That's for newer or popular titles. Somehow these game companies feel that there are been cheated since Gamestop is not cutting them in on the action.
"In the end, it makes you wonder how after 30+ years of printing registration codes inside PC games that such a system could fail so badly when translated to console games. "
Simple...GREED.. Now they deflect this utter disaster and blame piracy as the reason why they need the codes in the first place. I guess not enough blood, sweat and tears went into the code panel.

Yes the cake is a lie, its not the cake you are eating but consuming your self. I was shooting for Matrix like quote, also for the cake haters you can substitute pie or any non dairy product dessert product.
"It's difficult to get away from the fact that as a developer, as somebody who puts their blood, sweat and tears into this thing."
Well I guess that explains why a lot of games suck! They keep putting the wrong thing in them! Instead good play, replay value, story that makes sense, and looking to make it at a reasonable value.
