No, GR, you are wrong. Gamestop does indeed ban used PC game sales. However, but that's just a moronic business decision -- EB sold used PC games right up until Gamestop HQ forced them to stop. It's not illegal. It is true that some PC games make it hard to sell to another person though -- if it's an online game with a CD-Key or an MMORPG, the CDs and key alone will not be enough -- you'll also need the username/password for the account for those discs to mean anything. However, that doesn't mean that used PC game sales are impossible... EB had quite a few used PC games; they were just mostly older or not MMOs. :)
Anyway, this rumor has been around for a while, but I don't see hard facts backing it up yet... my current guess is 'no', but it's possible I guess.
