    Sony thinking of charging for used game online play

    I think this is a horrible idea. I can only aford a few games at $60 bucks and often have to wait several months after a new release for the used games to fall in price. Even then I use my old games to help pay for other games. In my opinion this will kill the used gaming market.

    I don't see this happening, due to the fact that if it did...... the legal issues alone would crush them. but also the consumer loyalty, that they'd be flushing down the tubes. Along with the money of possible present and future earnings, due to corporate greed. It would be finical suicide.

    I think Jack is right, but companies have done much dumber things. :?
