Just gonna throw this out there. Live in middle of Wyoming. Drive a Model Y. Haul stuff with a small trailer, around 3500lb max. No issues with battery performance when it was more than -20f. At -10 I was getting around a 7% loss in efficiency, over around 480 miles total driven at those temps. There are no issues with cold, and as long as you think ahead for half a minute, range is not an issue. Plus this thing has the best traction control BY FAR of any vehicle I've ever driven. The responsiveness with electric motors to detect wheelspin is INSANE!

Have a 3d tv, pani tc-p65vt30, but not for the 3D as I could care less about it, my old samy p59d7000 was also 3D, watched a few movies, not impressed with either. The kids hated it, got headaches on both of them. Be nice if you could by a high end tv without 3D and save a few bucks, but how else are they going to push a technology that nobody sane wants?

That's a "Use" tax or in some cases a property tax, not a sales tax, different thing. It may be based off the value of the vehicle however. Wait, no that logic still fails, yup you still get ripped off, hum. So many similarities..... Sorry thinking about the registration fee's, not the re-taxed sales tax from the dealer. With crap this complicated, it's a wonder anyone buys anything.

It's the principle at stake here, I agree, if this is a bonus for first time buyers, cool. I bought Duke Nukem Forever, the $90 pack, if I were to sell the game, I wouldn't get rid of the extra's, that's why I bought it. The problem is, the industry thinks this way with the BASE game in most cases, that's wrong. DLC bonus? Fine.

So I buy a used ford and I no longer get to use the radio without paying an activation fee? Same concept, a stupid, naive, greedy one. I have only bought a few games at gamestop as I know their markup practices, but I don't disagree with a used game market. I use Steam almost exclusively as I can get most games at incredible savings, then I don't feel the need to sell them to recoup on a crappy game. If game makers are so concerned about this, maybe they should actually make games worth playing for any length of time. Like Skyrim. Then this wouldn't be an issue to the degree it seems to be to the publishers. People play their copy longer, won't put it on the used market for a while, probably sometime after the initial profitable margin of the games release, then used games are available for those that can't afford the ridiculous price of todays games. Seems pretty simple to me.
