Does getting Call of Duty: Black Ops(Steam Account) for $26 worth of bitcoins count as enough of a "real use case" for you? http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=4807.msg70315#msg...

Ya, scratch that.

Which brings up a good point. With Bitcoin, there is no concept of chargebacks. Once bitcoins are sent, they are gone.

When you wish to make a purchase with a trading partner where trust has not yet been established, the http://ClearCoin.appspot.com escrow can be used to protect the buyer.

For this transaction escrow would have been free to use, as the amount is under 100 BTC.
