Good point all. I thought it would be too good to be true.

On a side note, I wouldn't mind seeing a Disc/Digital Code combo like we see with BluRay/Digital HD combos. That might be the way for them to do this right. Sure, people could sell the game, but the way microtransactions go, that might be a good thing. Put it on a per publisher basis and see where it goes.

I know very little about how things like this work but, what if they came up with a way for each disc to have a unique identity so that when you bought it, that disc was tied, via some sort of online authentication, to your profile. This would prevent you from reselling and keeping the game because they could make it so when the game was put into another Xbox, that console would authenticate it and thus, render the original user from having access. You'd still have the data on your console, but it would fail to load and give the notification of say "This game can not be played due to license exchange" or something like that.

Wouldn't that just be a high tech was of physically getting arid of a game?

This is similar to Microsoft's plan at the beginning until everybody got up in arms about DRM. They'd have to figure out a way to untie the disc from your profile so you could resell it. Your idea sounds good, but I doubt it could be that easy. I like many others would like to see their original vision brought back. Hopefully they find a way to do it.
