    Xbox game digital resale value/return option


    So in todays day and age we have digital downloaded games more than ever before and I don't know about you but I mainly buy all my games digitally now. I have 150+ games at least digitally downloaded. But there's one huge flaw when buying digital games.
    No refunds or resale value. That and no ability to let friends borrow games but that's another subject I may get to after my main point. How about we add the ability to "return games". I mean even if I didn't get 100% of the funds back I'd be ok with getting
    partial return back, especially if I finished/got bored of a game. I'd say add the ability and give 1/4 - 1/2 of the funds back to the purchaser in some way(like maybe a button like the uninstall button but it just says return/partial refund). And as for the
    sharing games, maybe make it to where there's a page or something that shows what all games your friends have and add a button to "request to borrow" from said friend. And if they agree, just make it a timer like Xbox does with videos and give the option for
    1 day all the way to maybe one or a couple weeks and the person lending can't play the game until it's "returned". Just a couple thoughts because if we really want to push for full digital you have to somewhat add some form of incentive over physical, and
    adding a 1/4 or 1/2 purchase price in monetary return will help digital become more mainstream and wanted. Because let's be honest, places like Gamestop's resale value is a joke and I know this would help win over those physical lovers.

    This just proves that digital downloads are a complete rip off as they have absolutely no resale value whatsoever

    Xbox game digital resale value/return option

    "there's one huge flaw when buying digital games - No refunds or resale value"

    - It comes down to the game developer. If you buy Call of Duty, that game is made, managed and controlled by Activision. Microsoft I'm sure get's a small percentage of that and you get the digital license for that game to remain licensed to your account.

    - Unless or until companies like Activision, EA, Rockstar and so on, want to give their money back to you for a "return" process

    - You can buy most games on disc and then sell that game back to Gamestop or whom ever and you'll get $10 or so for that

    - Another option for EA games is their EA Access or the Xbox Game Pass

    Thief / Tomb Raider Half Price for XB1 (DIGI)

    I learnt my lesson with downloads and the 360. When i think of what the resale value could be on all my digital games i shed a tear.

    What's everyone's thoughts if Microsoft offered some sort of buy back program or digital trade-in for credit in the marketplace?

    It's because there isn't a resale value of a digital copy. When you buy digitally you are paying for the game files and the license. The reason you get money from physical copy is because they can turn around and resell that game. With digital there is
    nothing to resell.

    Games, digital or disc ?

    Convenience is the only real advantage of digital games.

    In my experience they are always more expensive,they take up a lot hard drive space and they have no resale value.

    The only time i buy digital is when there is a sale on.
