As summer rolls on, shorts get shorter, tops get scarcer, corner shop Curly Wurlys get goopier, and the video game sales, oh the video game sales keep on coming.

Basically, you buy and download any one of the selected games, and if you ask for your money back before Midnight PST on Sunday they'll refund all but £1/$1/€1. More than…
A big part of the industry's support, such as it is, for game download services such as Steam, GamersGate et al is that it kills the second-hand/trade-in market. A sale's a sale, a customer's a customer, and shops don't end up with endless dusty racks of second-hand copies of Call of Duty: World At War that only confused mothers try to buy when their kid…
