I agree 100%. People wouldn't have to buy used if games cost less from the get-go. That is a big part of the reason why I think games will get cheaper in general when the inevitable digital only era arrives.

it's already imoral to charge the same price for a digital game, since the download version doesn't feature disc, box and other lesser costs. so at minimum, digital sales should be $10 less than phisical copies.

I think it depends. When digital services first come out, it is more of a convenience so they charge more. But as something becomes mostly digital, they should (and do) become cheaper than retail (or at least have way more sales than retail).
