Hard to say right now. I think they are going to give the final say about non-Sony published games to other publishers but they won't force anything. I know Sony charges a fee to play their games online if you buy them used, but I don't know if that will continue. Lots of gray area right now.

can't you get amazon to match the price?
I read that this policy has been discontinued.
yeah, i can't find anything about it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/ ... eId=468502

excwept in relation to TVs: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/ ... =200726210

best buy does price match its own sales, though. idk about any other retailers.

I usually buy things on Amazon just to avoid sales tax.

Ditto.

Got into Bioshock today; enjoying it so far, I love the story that's being put together in just the first five minutes. Had a tough time in the first Big Daddy fight, though (it felt cheap to keep respawning).

it's about to happen everywhere (as it should--hurts local biz and local govt and probably makes the sales tax more regressive than it already is)

I think it is on a state by state basis. There were some rumblings that the federal government was considering changing the Internet Commerce laws to charge sales tax in all states but I haven't heard much about it for awhile now.
