Perhaps this could lower game prices? Theoretically, sales should increase if everyone has to buy a copy, so prices should/could come down accordingly.

How will this affect rentals, such as Gamefly, etc.?
It would put them out of biz eventually I guess when the games which they now rent become to old as they would not be able to update. Wonder if they will bring out a similar system for dvd films as well in the future.
