Not really, I don't think the used game debate is over because this deal has ended...

Lol the used car analogy is so stupid that I don't know where to begin. Look, unless if you're the collector type, you're buying a game for the digital content on the disc, which will be the same whether you got the disc used or new. People don't generally buy games to longingly stare at the brand new cases.

As I said earlier: maybe - just maybe - not everyone agrees with your way of thinking. That's ok. We're allowed to have different opinions on things. It only becomes a problem once somebody decides to overbearingly insist that their way of thinking is the only correct one.

I agree with Zee. I wouldn't ever pay £26 for a used game. Cold.

I would really have to question your exact definition of a "deal" if you think getting 50p off a used item is a bargain. You must really get ripped off all the time, you look like the kind of person who would pay full price for a used car. So it's not me that has any issues getting my head around anything, I believe it's you who cannot seem to fathom the difference in valuation of a new and used item, irrespective of whether one cares or not.

But again, some people don't care if it's used, especially if there is no included DLC (major ones anyway) or online pass. Even if it's 50p cheaper for a used copy, they'll still go for used, so £3 is fine and is considered hot. Don't know why it's difficult to get your head around. If your definition of a good used deal is £10 cheaper, I suspect there are very few used deals you're going to be voting hot on anyway.

Still worth £30 of anyone's money! The new content that keeps being added adds to an already massive game :smiley:

I'm sure they are all intelligent enough to pick up on the indicators, if they actually see them. Which was my point. Some may not. And lets me honest, the "used" isn't exactly the standout statement of the title, it can very easily be missed by those quickly skimming through the blogs.

Wish Rockstar would move on from this game now as its incredibly stale but they are too busy milking people for shark cards.

cold, no stock and goes for a similar price on ebay

Look, I'm not trying to be a jacka** or anything, I just don't think it's a hot deal and I think others may be thinking so because they don't realise that you can buy it for £30 new. So ultimately I was messaging to let you lot know that it is available for £30 brand new.

Interesting theory. I would point out that the title clearly has the word 'used' in it, and the fact that it's a used copy is mentioned in the very first sentence of the description, which also shows on the main page.

I think most HUKD users are intelligent enough to be able to pick up on these indicators, and know what they're voting for.

Honestly, I think the people voting it hot do not actually realise it is for a used game. Many people probably see it from the main page, see that it's GTA V for £26 and upvote without really looking at the full offer.

Because people think it's a good deal, as evidenced by the hot votes it has received.

Maybe - just maybe - not everyone agrees with your way of thinking, and appreciates being able to knock a few quid off the cost of a (fairly pricey) game like this one.

Isn't the Smyths version £32.98 after shipping? At least that's what your pricespy link states.

My point wasn't that it's new or used, by point is that you're only getting £3 off for a used game! Maybe it's just me but that isn't much of a discount at all. A used game should be at least £10 cheaper than it's new counterpart.
So my argument is, how is £3 off a used copy worthy of being considered a Hot offer?

How in the world is this HOT!??

£26.12 for a used copy, AFTER a 10% discount!! ... Really?
The game can be bought for £29.99 BRAND NEW! Without any discounts taken into consideration.
