This is not the same mentality as the pirate discussion. A pirate gets a $60 game for $0. That's a huge price discrepancy. At used game stores like Gamespot, the difference between new and used is often $5 or less. It also doesn't matter what the retail price point is set at. The used game price point will always be lower. Since new games are currently identical to used game, why not pick up the game for $5 less? This helps Gamespot and hurts EA. Now, more a burden will placed onto Gamestop. They will have to lower prices on used games to compensate for the new 'taxes'. If anything, this is a win for used game buyers at the expense of Gamestop (an undesirable company from the perspective of EA).
