It's one thing to complain about the video game industry's treatment of DLC on the internet, but gamer James Collins is taking action. He's taking a stand! James Collins is mad as hell, and he's not going to take it any more! Well, he filed a lawsuit, anyway.
Collins says he bought a used copy of Dragon Age: Origins from a GameStop. The box clearly indicated that free content could be downloaded for the game, but it couldn't. Whoever sold the game to GameStop obviously used the redeem code for the free DLC, leaving Collins holding the bag.

He paid $54.99 for the used game, but would have to pay $15 for the DLC. That adds up to a used version of the game costing ten bucks more than a brand new one. GameStop wouldn't refund his money, so Collins is suing GameStop. Check out the full suit here.
The class-action lawsuit seeks to prevent GameStop from selling used games with text on the cover promising DLC that doesn't exist.

The only problem, as I see it, is that I think that copy on boxes already says that the code is a one-time-use thing, and the suit even seems to acknowledge that the the box contains fine print that reads, "One-time use code; available with full retail purchase, Expires April 30, 2010." So this might be a case of letting the buyer beware.

Haha exactly.......

rofl he gonna lose

Honestly I hope he does lose. His stupidity, not GameStops or the Developers fault.

Silly noobs, DLC codes can only be used once!

/Pun

yh but its common sense to think that sum1 wud use the code

lmfao he wont win..... thats the risk you take when you buy a used game, if u spend 54 bucks on it why not spend 15 more to have it brandnew.,... waht a dumbass loll

Nah, they're not. Bethesda created a Fallout - Game of the year edition. Resident evil 5 created a "Gold" edition. They came with preinstalled DLC but theyre new game cd's and require redistribution rather than slapping a code inside and adding a sticker to the front.. It's a lot less effort but to a degree you're correct. Perhaps when they create Game of the Year editions as such they will preinstall DLC. Then again I guess it wouldn't be DLC nyeh-eh

What a fuking loser hahahaha!!!
