In Response To: Re: That's because here... (proof long, point shor (Schedonnardus) : on top of that, "buying" Halo 3 with game trades-ins is not how you : would stick it to the man. You are giving blockbuster trade-ins that can : be resold/rented, which gives blockbuster the money it needs to pay MS for : that copy of Halo 3 that was sitting on their shelf. So, MS still gets : paid for that copy, albeit indirectly. : Had you said that you will wait until used copies of Halo 3 surface before : you buy, then you would be purchasing a product for which MS would get no : compensation. Except, to a degree, the original purchase. In the end Microsoft isn't loosing money by having someone buy a second hand copy, it's just not gaining any either. Either version isn't working in the least as a form out sticking it to the man. And I agree with everyone here defending Microsoft, I don't believe they are the perfect company, but then I don't think such a thing could exist. I know a lot of hatred out there is because of how Microsoft runs their business as a whole, but in the end, and some of you may resent this, if they are providing me with a good service for my hobby (video games) I really couldn't care less about how they opperate in other sectors. - Charley
