Chaos Theory was such a good game. I still have it on disc though.

I still don't see Microsoft's angle on this. I mean...$15 for an Xbox 1 game that you could get for $5 in the store used and it doesn't take up a huge amount of space on your hard drive. Maybe if they lowered the price to $5 and the price of their 120 GB hard drive to $50 they'd get a better response.

There's not much to consider when it comes to their reasoning. They get no money for used games. They get money for downloadable games that cost them no money in terms of manufacturing, middlemen or additional marketing.
Several of the ones listed so far are not always easy to find for $5 anymore. You go with eBay then you're up to $10. Some people also just like the instant gratification.
Personally, I think they deserve some applause for efforts to put some games on here that are not consumer darlings. Dreamfall, Indigo Prophecy, Psyconauts and Metal Arms are all great games that were largely ignored on the Xbox and they're given a second life here. All of the $5 resales in the world don't give that sort of push.

Finally, Metal Arms! I've been waiting a long time for that to come to Originals. I wonder if they'll have some free themes/gamer pics to go along with it.

Insert standard "no achievement no sale" answer here.

The coop works, sort of. Last time I tried there seemed to be way too many disconnects.

I'd get Chaos Theory if it had online multiplayer.
