I could see where consumers would utilize some sort of digital trade in system. I've heard rumors that Steam plans on integrating a feature like this sometime in the future. We'll see, but if Steam does it, you better believe Sony will do it, or at the very least, SERIOUSLY consider it.

I swore off GameStop in 2010 I believe (whenever MOH was relaunched). I went in to buy a copy and the kid behind the counter was a complete smartass. He says "Did you preorder?" No, I didn't. "We're only selling copies to those that preordered." Did you not get enough copies to sell any OTC? "We did, but we're not selling them yet. I guess you should have preordered huh?" This last comment and the way he said it tripped my furious meter. I took my edge card out of my wallet, threw it at his head and told him to go **** himself and I'd just buy it from Walmart or Best Buy. I called corporate and they said it was their policy to only sell preorders for the first 24 hours (Something I'd never heard of before). I swore then and there that I would never ever ever use Gamestop again. (Oh, and Best Buy was the next closest store and it had LOTS and LOTS of copies on the shelf).
I broke that rule (or tried to) ONE time. I was looking for NFS Most Wanted for my Vita. NOBODY had it in stock. At the end of my rope I called the local Gamestop and asked them if they had it. They had 4 copies. I went in to buy it and their debit/credit machine was down. I asked if I could pay with a check, and the dude behind the counter said, rudely, "Come on man. There's a ATM just over there in Walmart. Go get some cash. We don't take checks." I just looked at him, "yeah I'll do that." My wife, god bless her, happened to be in a big city an hour away, and without telling me, she drove and called every store in that city until she found a copy at a Best Buy and brought it home with her.
