used games...hurting video game industry?

found this article on kotaku linking to gamasutra. so what do you think? i don't think it's necessarily GameStop's fault but they certainly get fat profits from the used games we buy from them. i think the industry needs to lower the price structure of their games to be more in line with the movie industry. doesn't the video game industry always try to copy the movie industry anyway? why not do the same for prices? i'd say games should cost slightly higher than DVD's, around the 25 to 40 dollar range. no more 60 dollar games. even 50 sounds kinda ridiculous too concerning wii games..i'd say most games out on retail shelves right now are not worth the asking price..that's why companies like GameStop are in business because we depend on them and with the recession, i know i'm going to be getting more used games..
