probably a code pressed on the disc.. or they could put it in a pc bluray drive and pc software will read it out MS will probably give those away when you are a partner to the program..

Like every freakin PC game you buy at the store, it will come with a code, printed on the manual or on a card in the box, there is no need to press a code on a disc or encode it somehow.

But that system wouldn't work anymore with this new system.. How would gamestop know the code if its on a card? How would they know the game code on the card is connected to that particular disc?

otherwise i could screw my friend by trading in all my games with their codes..  letting me keep my games in my account and have money to spend on new games

So Bob brings Battlefield 96 to the store, he brings his disc, and his code in, now Bob has to verify his name, and his gamertag/id/etc, because even now Bob has to show ID or already be in the system with said store, and legally sign off saying he is trading in his own property, gamertag/id/etc matches existing credentials and codes, game removed from system. Bob gets $.075 toward his next purchase.
