Hi there!
Here's a thought I'd like to hear your opinions on, just some silly math based on heavy guessing of mine...
=========
Assuming a good game sells 2 Million copies, 1 million of which get sold used.
Now the standard bigger, better, more sequel comes out, that is bought by let's say 80% of people who liked the first.
That would be 2.4 Million copies
Now after killing the used game market
That would be only 1.6 Million copies
=========
Maybe I'm missing something essential here, but how will companies manage to ever grow a franchise once they limit their target audience for a sequel to just the people that bought the first game? As I see it they'd be just cutting their own flesh in the long run...
Greetings,
Manuel

Hi there!
I just bought this today, but it seems to have a weird bug, as it won't allow me to save my progress. Upon startup already, I get a message saying:
"No Memory Stick Duo found. At least 256 KB is required to save game data."
This is nonsense of course, since I have such a stick plugged in - with over 3GB free memory, which is perfectly working for all of my other dozen PSP games...
Next I tried updating the game, but I got a message that I already have the latest version.
Is that some common problem? Anyone have a idea for me to make the game work properly?
