I was thinking after reading the post.

Do you think that is a wise move from a business sandpoint or not?

On one hand they screw with used games dealers and take the money for themselves which is nice.

On the other hand they might have people who wait for the games to become platinum hits (then again those are the same people who would probably wait and try to buy it used).

I think it's a good strategy...

I didn't see any games that peaked my interest though.

Haven't purchased or played nightfire, but from my limited experience with lotr, it really sucks. I haven't made it very far, mostly because of boredom.
