My comments about buying from non retailers stems from my assumption that the logic is as such:

Put disc into xbone
Checks if game is associated with a different account, if so, require additional $35 (or some fee sane as borrowing the game)

The only way to buy a used game and guarantee that the previous owner unassociated their account (and thus not pay double) would be to buy from a retailer since the retailer can unassociate the game itself. All person to person reselling would become untrusted and die. Bleh

not just person to person.  when i got rockband 2 it came with a code to download 20 songs or whatever for free.  i noticed that the box was a little beat up but gamestop assured me that they were selling me a "new" product not a used one.  got home and someone had already used my song download code tying it to another account.  no amount of complaining to EA got my code to work and gamestop refused to help either.

i was so fucking pissed. 

I am sorry.

I can't name the amount of times I opened the cases on the shelves at Gamestop and took pictures of the codes inside. :/

and here i though we were friends..  :(
