i don't think retailers will really accept returned games since few will be willing to pay twice for them (the used value + the thieving extra tax). and since they can't return it or re-sell it easily, consumers will be really selective when buying games. no matter the situation, xone is screwed to the infinite power.
I'm really happy for that because there's a great chance microsoft leaves the gaming market and sells rare's ips back to nintendo.
