Hello Escapits!

First of all, if you don't know what Project 10 Dollar is, here's a video that'll explain (by the way, how's life under that rock?):

Anyway, this question was sparked when I had a choice to make a few days ago. I saw Dragon Age 2 new for $30 at a local Walmart. I was thinking of buying it now that it had finally gone down in price, but then I remebered I would be going to a used entertainment store (not Gamestop) in a few days, so I decided to wait and see if they had the game. The used entertainment store is an hour and a half drive away from where I live (the closest place to buy used games from where I live) and it was there for $20. I thought about it and decided that I'd buy it used for two reasons: the extra DLC wasn't worth me going back to Walmart (by "local", I meant it was 15 miles from where I lived), and because I wanted to spite EA.

So then, my question is, do you think Project 10 Dollar is really stopping a portion of people from buying games used, and do you think the people who buy the game used pay that extra $10 for the DLC they missed?

I don't think the point is to stop people buying used but to get people who buy used to pay the dev/pub something.

In which case I think it's been somewhat successful.

I'd say no. It's annoyed a lot of people but it's hardly been that successful in killing used games.
What it has done however is make people pay the devs for used game since they will then want to buy that extra content.
