I find business men the best at running a business into the ground. On the up side, after all the backlash, this game will hit the bargain bin fast. I wonder how much they make off a games that's hit $20?
The only perceived entitlement is that of the publisher and maker believing that they have a right to a percentage of all sales: used, new or otherwise.
I also like how being a business makes you inherently not evil. Just replace “business” with “assassin” and you've described the “free market”. Just because I kill people for money doesn't make me evil. I'm just trying make a profit. Now, if I could just get rid of all those government regulations about not killing people. It's really killing my business model. Stupid people and their perceived entitlement to life.
Except that copyright is an entitlement too. At this point a poorly justified one at that, considering all positives and negatives in it's current form.
While price point they are equal for the total package. I went with Xbox360+HDDVD since my HDTV doesn't support HDMI 1.2, but it does have VGA. I was not about to drop another $3000 just to watch and play my game in HiDef, because some flawed copy protect is missing from my TV. That's my 2 cents.

Straw that broke the camel's back, I guess.

Slaves? I don't remember anyone asking them to work for free or to own their persons out right...

Exactly, just how Atheists and Catholics share the same belief system.
Atheists and Catholics both believe unicorns don't exist.
Agnostics don't know if unicorns exist.
Therefore everyone is crazy, because obviously unicorns exist.
