GameStop Offering Catwoman DLC for free with used purchase

The battle between retailers like Gamestop and video game publishers has only really affected the consumer's bottom line. As gamer's have been coralled into purchasing new copies of games that have no business offering an online pass for their mediocre experiences, some have been getting disgruntled with the new trend that has developed over the past few years.

Why would you buy this game used. Just spend the extra $5 and get it new. Give the money to the developers so they can make more games.

“GameStop will include this one time use code on every receipt for pre-owned copies of the game.”

I don’t get it…? If someone buys a pre-owned copy of the game, what if the previous owner already used the one time only code? Then that means it doesn’t matter if GameStop writes the code on the receipt because it’s already been used and it’s a one time use only….am I missing something here?

The devs have given GameStop the go ahead to do this, it will be printed on the back of the receipt and will be a fresh code.
Less than 2 days left, I can’t wait. Sadly I know I’ll be spending an extra $12 to get the Nightwing pack and the Batman costume pack. Sinestro Corps Batman!!
