Why not support 38 studios (in this case) by buying new games instead of the GameStops of the world for ripping you off on both ends (selling to them and buying from them)? I like to get the free stuff when pre-ordering a game I know I will like (such as ME3). Why should some schmuck who waited a year down the line still get the stuff for free that I had to pre-order to get when he buys it for pennies on the dollar for a used copy? Hell yeah the company should be able to put that stuff on the DLC stores to try to get some kind of money off the secondary market because the aren't getting anything else out of the cheapskates who wait to play the game(s). Now if there isn't any bonus stuff that comes with the game that's fine too, DLC is another way that companies can keep making a little extra cash to fund other projects and other DLC for the current game on the market. People don't have to buy it, but a lot of times the DLCs are just as much fun as the core games or they add some cool stuff to them without being "needed" for the core game.EDIT: I also agree w/ the article that games shouldn't be made unplayable in the secondary market, just charge for the "free" stuff or "dlc" that you'd get when buying the game new, don't make that stuff unplayable.</blockquote>
