Buy an EA Sports game second-hand, pay for online.

Honestly, I have trouble picturing this hurting either Gamestop or EA. I think it's most likely that the consumer ends up the only losers. Especially for the 360 user, since they're already paying fifty bucks a year for online and it's now effectively premium (I know, new buyers get a voucher, but that doesn't really change it so much as turn the premium into a retail incentive).

And, especially, since this is not likely to be the end of it.
