first off let me say that i agree with most of what
UmJammerEri is saying.
the issue at hand does NOT affect the game in question, so.......what's the problem??
as of this moment, there is no problem, because the game doesn't need the save file.
some of you are just acting like conspiracy theorists.
i HIGHLY doubt the gaming industry would be dumb enough to implement this saving system, on a game where the saves actually matter.
especially when there are much easier ways to combat used sales, AND everyone knows that replay value is important.
for example (AND THIS IS ALREADY BEING DONE)
the whole "online pass code" thing.
basically, when you buy a new game, you get a code to go online with that game. if you sell the game, someone else can't use your code.
so they need to buy a new code (about $5-15) from the developers in order to get online.
simple easy fix that shouldn't get anyone mad..... that is, as long as the person thinks they should PAY for merchandise :P

this makes MUCH more sense and WILL be the wave of the future. i truly believe that the whole save file thing is just a one time fluke that most of you are reading waaaaaaay to much into.
P.S. saying that used game sales don't hurt the industry is absurd!
also, using an excuse like "well it doesn't hurt as much as piracy, because it's legal" is even more absurd!
