Interesting suggestion, you'd entice more people to buy it early (which means some money to the developer, rather than just the retailer from a re-sell), and you'd also make it less worthwhile for the customer to return it (they wouldn't get that much money back for it).
Still though, I think short, heavily-directed experiences just aren't the way to go with video games. A game that is worth playing over and over is just valued so much more by the customer.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
