I really don't think this will have the intended result.
Say this becomes the norm. Say all gamers are 110% against doing anything piratical. We are given a choice between having a slice of the game for $10 (maybe getting that $10 off the full game, maybe not), or we can bop over to the local rental haus and rent the full game for the same amount, or less.
Congrats, Crytek/EA/et al. I think you found a way to both increase piracy and help breathe some new life into the video game rental market in one fell swoop!
