EA/Bioware plans to make it worthwhile to buy Dragon Age: Origins brand new. Introducing a new scheme that is bound to rub a few individuals the wrong way, the company has announced that anyone opting to pre-order or purchase a brand new copy of its upcoming role-playing game will receive with their orders a free DLC entitled "The Stone Prisoner".
The move has since received a barrage of complaints, prompting an EA/Bioware employee to make a response, which can be read in the article.
GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
Here are some great action role-playing video games to play while waiting for the highly anticipated Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
I think this is a good move... Give new game buyers something extra. Why buy a used game from Gamestop? They reduce the price by $5 on newer games, might as well fork over the few extra bucks and get it new anyway.
Also, you can find good deals on new games on Ebay, Amazon, and Half.com

What are you saying "the moment you sell a game you should have to guarantee a way to pass your DLC along with it out of the box." I'm not following you.
What about new cars??? Say a dealer gives you $1000 cash back on a new car. Do you think they're going to give you $1000 back on a used car of the same model?
I think should be illegal, or considered by law some sort of foul marketing. You can't discourage second hand market cheating this way. In my opinion, the moment you sell a game you should have to guarantee a way to pass your DLC along with it out of the box.
I see nothing wrong with this incentive.
"scheme"....is the word....
i don't really see a problem with this reserve or buy it new and you get DLC buy it used and you get no DLC. EA would lose so much money for used game so they give you an incentive to buy new rather than used
