I would also have to dump my 10 or so games on eBay, which would come nowhere near enough to match the cost of \u201cupgrading\u201d to digital replacements.  Not to mention the fact that some of the games I would want to purchase may not even be available in digital format.<\/p>\n<p>The nail in the coffin may be that there is no \u201ccost of recovery\u201d path available for digital downloads.  In other words, no eBay selling for unwanted games.
