Sony hate thread

[Belvedere]

What's interesting is that a few games I see on there are shovelware or average licensed games, yet they could still be worth at least $10-15 because they're not in print anymore. Even some trash games from PS3/360 could be worth a fair bit in resell value.

Honestly, that might be the case but I'm also seeing a lot of good games as well, just the few titles I was able to recognize:

Gears of War
Just Cause
Prince of Persia
Battlefield Bad Company
Mass Effect 1 and 2
Hitman Blood Money
Dead Rising
BulletStorm
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate
Prototype
The Darkness
Dishonored
SoulCalibur IV and V
Shadow of The Damned
Red Faction Guerrilla
Resident Evil Revelations
Fable 2
FEAR
Skyrim

God knows what else is on those piles on the back.

he could've went to a local game shop or sold them himself on Ebay for better value.

Local game shops would've low-balled him to death to get those games, just so they can mark them up. Better to dump them at GameStop who'll take anything game-related just about, than wasting your time arguing with an auctioneer.

Selling them by himself might've been another option, if he's willing to go down on some prices to be competitive or otherwise he has a long wait ahead of him where buyers are just going to also come up to him and haggle him down in price.

The video game market is dog eat dog.

A collection that size should have been sold piecemeal on eBay, no question. This dude lost a metric fuckton of money doing it this way. Gamestop blasting his antics publicly far and wide is just an added humiliation ritual.

If he's one of those people who are like "I just want these games off from me, I don't care" then yeah I'll side with him. But if he came into this thinking he was going to get a bargain, I'd agree with you.

Nintendeen goes through the numbers on digital sales and such, tl;dr is that Sony is cooking the books.
