10%
I don't get why anyone would trade for so low
Does it cost money for digital games to sit idle on our consoles?

And people like @MeachTheMonster felt like it would have been some incredible offer if they kept some of their "old policies" to help people sell/trade digital goods.
FOH, 10% is a slap in the face straight up. That is even WORSE than gamestop/amazon trade in values for decent stuff.

They've been talking about thinking of a way to allow sharing/selling of digital games.
10% is pretty low, but I just deleted a bunch of games and got nothing for them. Woulda been nice to get something

Yeah I could, but I probably never will.
This whole thing is dumb as fukk. I get what Microsoft is trying to do, set it at a number so that if you sell a game you will likely need to sell back multiple items or not get enough for things you really want in the store. That way you have to spend money on top of giving away your license.
You buy a game for $60, sell it back for $6
Buy something that costs $20, sell it back for $2
Rinse, Repeat
They just got $72 after "2 sales" and you don't even have access to your titles anymore.
Why not just aggressively lower prices and not deal with the extra layers of BS? If you want to give people the option to sell it back for $6 or so...why not just lower the price across the board to $54? Less transactions, less headaches across the board for everyone...cheaper prices which makes people happier in the long run. I am not sure why Microsoft and Sony just straight up refuse to look at what Valve is doing. Valve is the monster it is because of their aggressive pricing, not gimmicks.

Sony & MS still depend retailers tho.
fukk them, it is inevitable that retail for software is going away. Why delay the inevitable? Force retailers to come up with new solutions to get people into the stores. Gamestop/Walmart/Target should only be selling limited editions of games as far as I'm concerned.
Games on PSN/XBL should be 10% less than retail across the board starting out. There is less for them to do, no manufacturing/shipping to get together. They charge a yearly fee to access XBL/PSN so don't give me the sorry ass excuse that they need the same price to support their servers.
Steam alone is bigger than PSN/XBL and they are able to be aggressive, why can't huge companies like Sony and Microsoft?
Start with 20% off games when you pre-order. Amazon and Best Buy already do it and don't have the same risk of getting stuck with a game that bombed.
Start there and keep going. Steam should be offering 20% off pre-orders as well, I am going to email Gabe about this soon.

Because steam is all digital. All profit.
On consoles physical games still sell a hell of a lot more digital.
