Gabe just might be right. Consider that films ship on blu-ray at about half the price of games and dvds sell at around a quarter or less. Fair enough, games have no box office revenue but they do have a much longer lasting appeal. This might just be the flaming torch that the games industry need to burn second-hand games market down dead. If games come down to a similar price range to films then it's not going to be worth trading things in for a discount. Imagine Gears of War 3 released at £10/$15?
If games and movies don't develop some mutual respect, all we can expect are films that are really bad action games and games that are really bad films, says Steven Poole.
