*raises hand*

The problem with Andrea's idea is that is doesn't provide any benefit to the consumer. The only real positive is that it's not as bad as the alternatives.

As for the "discount", we already get that now. Most games drop in price 30-90 days after release and the ones that don't wouldn't be subject to the artificial window anyway. Do you think activision is really going to sell COD 5 for $40 when people are still buying it at $60.

It also limits the ability of people to trade/ borrow games with/from friends. (and yes I realize this is somewhat archaic)

Finally, this would be very hard to implement as it would have to be on a game by game basis and you would never really have any price security on the games you want to buy.

But in lieu of the other means of dealing with used games, heck yeah I'd take it.

p.s. I really see this going the other way. Publishers charging for early access for preorders, etc.
