This article explains it better.

The $10 offer was a trap! They made it that low so he would reject it, and ask for more money. By showing that he intented to sell it, Microsoft now has a better chance of winning. Sneaky *******s!

The advantage is is that you can 'borrow' movies for long amounts of time without him remembering that you borrowed them.

The disadvantage is the pizza cheese grime on the DVDs
