    developers know about it, and will drop brand new price game lower or same price.

    i could not see people buying second hand games for 5 quid cheaper then new one.

    1) developers dont set game prices

    2) people have been buying second hand games for a fiver less than new games for years

    Do you know it for fact, or is it just a guess? havent seen much of second hand new releases to be sold out quickly, unless no brand new in shop.

    Because they're brand new trade ins, they generally won't bother putting new title preowned copies on the shelf because they won't have many. They'll keep them on the counter. So if I go up to the till with LA Noire, and they go "Here, do you want that for a fiver cheaper second hand?", I'll probably say yes.

    It's only a fiver, but it's better in my pocket than theirs.
