It certainly is, and it goes all the way back to at least the late 90s. I lived there from 00-03 and I saw so. many. games. do this. Granted, I was console only back then, and in Japan the number of new and used game stores is mind-blowing, so it's not like you couldn't trade in the old version and get at least SOME money back. Can't do that on PC.
