Microsoft toys with the idea of digital game trade-ins

Microsoft is currently asking its user base what it thinks of the possibility of digital game trade-ins.

The model being discussed would offer 10% of purchase value on digital trade-ins. Like at a physical store, a player would lose access to the original game traded in, but would have credit towards the purchase of a new game.

What do you think of a digital trade-in model? Sure, 10% isn’t a great deal of cash, but how many old digital games do you go back and play again? Let us know what you think in the comments, below.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
