I agree. There's a reason Gamestop and such do OK still. It's not on new game sales.

I'm still a used bookstore shopper, when I have time. I get much better prices, no DRM, and I can always trade a book back in if it turns out to suck. When I'm in a new town I always try to find the bookstores

But I'm in the minority - a DRM hater. Most people don't seem to care. You'll learn some years down the road. I guess if you're one of those rarer read-and-chuck people (why not just use the library?) maybe you won't care. DRM always bites you in the ass eventually.
