Wait, what is going on here, is Microsoft planning to allow the resale of digital games? It appears so because the software giant made this out to be a question in the latest Xbox survey.

The question asked users if they would be interested in selling back their digital video games through the Xbox Live store. This is a great idea and could prove popular among gamers in the years to come should the company go ahead with such a plan.

There's one big issue here though, Microsoft is only interested in allowing gamers to resell their games for 10 percent of the original cost. It means that if you bought The Division for $60 via the Xbox Live Store and wish to sell it back soon after, you would only net around $6, that's a loss of $54.

This is definitely not what we were expecting, but at the end of the day, it is better than nothing. It also goes to show how much physical games reign supreme over digital because the value is much higher. Too bad the digital video game market is slowly overtaking the physical market.

We're sure that gamers would prefer to sell their digital titles for more than what Microsoft is offering, and they should be able to do that because this offer of 10 percent is weak.

What the software giant needs to do, is base the pricing on the age of the game. If a game is fairly new, then the selling price should be much higher than 10 percent. Of course, Microsoft will probably find it difficult going this route since a person could purchase a game, finish it in 24-hours then sell it off back to Microsoft for half the original cost price. At the end of the day, Microsoft would only make $30 from that game.

As it stands right now, should Microsoft decide to go down this route, the company will likely go ahead with the 10 percent plan with some rules. What we are seeing here is the ever growing fact that we do not own digital items, as much as we'd like to believe otherwise.
