I agree that a discount would be cool, but I think it would also kill their profit margin on brand new copies of games. I've heard the markup is only like five or ten bucks on new games. Also, if they kept getting in more new copies of that game each time they ran out then they would have to discount a copy each time they got in three or four replacements. That adds up and it would also be a third process they'd have to deal with in addition to selling a game New or Used.
