MS sent out a questionnaire about this like 2 years ago. They would buy back your games for store credit. Everyone bitched about it because MS didn't give you enough back.

Yeah, starting to feel it.

Where is it? I can't find it?

 

[RPGamer92]

I wonder what Japanese games we'll see considering Phil went to Japan earlier this year. Maybe something like Kingdom Hearts collection or Persona 5 for XB1?

It's coming to XB.

so confirmed?

MS sent out a questionnaire about this like 2 years ago. They would buy back your games for store credit. Everyone bitched about it because MS didn't give you enough back.

Yeah, to be clear, it was for 10% of the value of the game (a.k.a. $6 back for a $60 game). Even universally-reviled Gamestop trade-in would give you like $34 if the game was less than a week old in most cases.

Finally the MCC would be good for something

Godspeed juniors. Try not to get involved in any disputes. E3 is hunting season

Right, but this is for digital games. As you amount a huge library it's nice to have a option to dump the ones you are never going to play again.

I get it's not much, but it's something. I mean MS gets nothing from it.

 

[Leyasu]

Lol. The thing is, who the fuck is going to buy it off of us??

 

[blue_phazon]

If I sign in with my Microsoft account on Mixer, it's already "linked" to xbl right? My username shows up as my gamertag, so I'm guessing yes. But I hope that's all I have to do to register for prizes

 

[darkinstinct]

Even if they did, how would it work? I can't see any third party getting on board with this because there is no value in it for them. Sell your COD, get 20 % in store credit paid for by Activision and Microsoft, buy Battlefield from EA with the money? Or sell your "used" license to somebody else? Why would anybody be interested in that, the whole point of digital distribution is to get rid of used copies. We will get the refunds that are already there for preview members but that's it.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Haha

Imagine the irony in a 'used digital marketplace'

 

[blakep267]

While true($34 in store credit or actual money), I also have 3 year old games that I would get pennies for. Like I have no need for Forza Horizon 2 or DB xenoverse anymore. I'd gladly take $12 for them. That's a free month of gold. MS as a digital store can't refund $34 because they they don't get that much from the actual sale

Also why are you trying to resell a brand new game. Might as well rent it or buy it physical if you only want to play and beat it. I see this more as for games you have for long periods of time that you don't want

Digital games rarely get permanent price drops though so over time 10% might not be that bad. I mean no other digital platform allows for it so it'd be an awesome start.

The survey was you sell the license of your game back to MS for %10 of the price you bought it for in ms money. $60 game gets you $6 in MS credit.

The publisher has already received their money from the sale. This $6 would come from MS portion of the sale. But they also are giving it in MS credit, so your going to be giving it back to them

[UpDownLeftRight]

I missed this one. Can anyone give me a brief list of games announced to search for? Tried looking for Anthem and I can only find the trailer from EA's conference.

 

[LeFAIS]

So we'll probably see AC: Origins tonight?

it was just 97 minutes of brute force on og xbox

Still have some work to do before the big event, but it's hard staying focused!

I have dozens of games I'll never play on my Steam library. I regret buying them and sometimes I wish I could just nuke them out of my collection, so if Microsoft is willing to pay me anything for the digital games I don't want to play anymore, I find it pretty great.

 

[DragonKnight]

So we'll probably see AC: Origins tonight?

Definitely. Confirmed yesterday.

 

[darkinstinct]

They would give back $6 of which they would get $2 if you spend them. Yeah, might make sense for them, but not for the customer.

 

[ThatFrenchGuy]

Why would anyone sell it to you for $5 when they could just sell it to MS for $10?

 

[DragonKnight]

Its funny that this console has all this power and all I want to do is play Dark Souls 1. Wonder if Scorpio will support mods?

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

it was just 97 minutes of brute force on og xbox

Wait, has the whole stream not been and gone yet then? I though this one was on 4 hours ago?

 

[NippleViking]

Definitely. Confirmed yesterday.

Anthem, AC:Origins, Sea of Thieves, and Crackdown already makes this a decent show for me.

 

[Raide]

Nearly there all!!!

 

[jbug617]

8 hours to go. hopefully they can keep a tight ship

 

[SlipperyMoose]

Today is the day!

 

[RPGamer92]

Anthem, AC:Origins, Sea of Thieves, and Crackdown already makes this a decent show for me.

Add in OG Xbox BC, Cuphead shadow drop, and Japanese games and that would be a solid conference.

Steam support can remove them from your account.

No, sell it back to MS for store credit and then you'll buy more games.

MS doesn't get anything from it.

woah woah that would be amazing

 

[blakep267]

Are you still playing COD ghosts or crimson dragon etc. a lot of people don't care about collections. So in my case, it is good for the consumer.

 

[hanspampel]

Why would anyone sell it to you for $5 when they could just sell it to MS for $10?

you need to do it now. you need to invest now in 1000 codes for AC:Unity for ~$1.50
but this will likely never work for redeemed codes. just direct purchases from the xbox store

 

[darkinstinct]

No, sell it back to MS for store credit and then you'll buy more games.

MS doesn't get anything from it.

They take 30 % of every purchase, so yes, they will get it back.

 

[von zipp]

No, it should just link it to your MS account. The same if you access the site via a browser.

Thanks mate.

Went to Mixer through the dashboard, tried to link my account details and came up empty. Noticed a log in to chat. Did that and I think that basically linked my Live account to Mixer.

My advice to anyone trying to link their account via Xbox One is to ensure they have logged into Chat in any stream. A Mixer level status and icon should appear top right of screen once your live account is linked.
