I sometimes buy a game new when I really want it or feel rich enough and so get the online pass codes. I NEVER play online multiplayer so these codes always sit in box unredeemed.
Now something occurred to me today, why don't I just give these codes away to anyone who bought it pre-owned? Then I thought I'm not the only one in this situation so why don't we about setting up a market place type thread where people say what game codes they offer or want? I guess it'd turn into mostly want, as is the way with the world, but surely some sort of system could be worked out.
What do you guys think of the idea?
The less of the usual droning about pre-owned games being satanic abominations that are bankrupting the poor publishers and how all us consumers should bend over the better. Also I own it, so I can give it away.
Is this even possible or are the codes disc specific?
EDIT: Had a good look and it does appear most are disc specific. Should've known the likes of EA wouldn't miss a way to make sure people have to pay them twice for 1 item.
