Microsoft suggests the possibility of reselling the digital games for Store credit

According to a survey conducted recently by Microsoft among its clients, the House of Redmond would be exploring the possibility of allowing users to "sell" the Games Store their digital games, in Exchange for credit that you can reuse the same store to purchase other games and content.

The idea certainly looks interesting, but it is not the way it is presented, because it assumes a very small gain from users. The exact question in the poll is: " If the digital store on your console to offer its users the ability to resell their games for a 10% of their cost in store credit, would you be interested in an offer like that? "

The problem here is evidently in the percentage of pricing games, the 10%: This means that a purchased game to 60 Euro for only 6 Euro, an assessment would be resalable definitely inconvenient even for older games a few years. If the percentage was raised to 30% or more, could start to get interesting.

Obviously, for now there is nothing concrete behind this poll, as well as the fact that MS is probing the ground for the idea: we know that the company is actively looking for better solutions for sharing and resale of digital games, so hopefully we'll have some concrete news as soon as possible.
