My scenario and millions of others is gone.

Post game on eBay or Craigslist to get maximum return and then rebuy new game or other used game.

Instead at best I can save $5 by going through a "authorized dealer" or nothing as the game remains $60 for ever.

I assume there will be allot of lawsuits with the First-sale doctrine at the helm. :P - And hopefully the consumer wins 'em.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine


The resale and second hand games market isn't really a concern for me though, I buy all my games brand new and keep them forever anyway, but it is a sad precedent as I know several people who rely on the second hand gaming purchases to save a few bucks because games are so stupidly expensive in Australia.

I believe MS gets around that First - Sale doctrine as Steam does.  XBL is a service and thus it does not go under the First Sale doctrine
