I can't recall a time somebody's has only gotten 10% value at Gamestop. For new games it's usually 30%, and even for crappy old shovelware they're giving you around 20% at least, even if you're only getting a dollar. 

 

Actually, what Im suggesting is kinda what MS was going to do before original X1 ideas were scrapped.

My point is Gamestop often gives pennies or a few bucks for many older but popular titles and sells it for 20x the value. They are pretty fair with new releases for like a month.

Even if MS would charge a license transfer fee to give a game away, that would better than what we have now. MS should atleast get that started even if few publishers get involved.

Oh I got what you meant, I'm just not as harsh on GameStop as a lot of people. Even in the most extreme case, say, Madden 06 on PS2, I think the value JUST hits that threshold you're referring to. Everything else is normally above 10%, not below, be it new or old. At least in my experience - and my GS is I believe the last in my state to own PS2 games. (Everything checks in around a buck because they've been trying to get rid of them.)
