I wish we could but I doubt we ever will.

...Anyhow, I agree with Pokoko. Digital games should be sold for less in the first place.

LOL, well yeah, I guess I could sell my digital content on my 360 by actually selling my 360, but I think we're talking about reselling each piece of digital content individually, so... that crow I supposedly ate? Never happened.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
I don't think we will, at least not any time soon. Not unless we truly own the games we buy digitally. But publishers don't want that for obvious reasons.
It would like to but i don't think it would ever happen just because it seems so unfeasible but Steam sort of allows it with trading community thing. But that's not games but virtual items instead

I get your point from the consumers perspective but why would the industry want this? It might help with people wanting to go full digital but how are they going to take away those options later on? Because they don't want you to trade/sell your games.
Also it makes it much more complicated then is needed. Take a look at Steam, it doesn't have any of those options either. If you think a game is worth the price you buy it and otherwise you don't or wait for a discount/sale.

It was not a German court, but the Court of Justice of the European Union, which is actually located in Luxembourg.
The court stated: “An author of software cannot oppose the resale of his ‘used’ licences allowing the use of his programs downloaded from the internet.”

Thank you for the clarification. The totallity of that decision is that second-hand sales are permitted in digital sales (in Europe). The only exception to this, that I know if, is if it is a lease or a rental, where the holder of the license has no right to the use beyond a limited time frame.

It helps them because digital makes much more profit because they dont need to pay manufacturing, packaging, transportation, retailer costs.
