Reading deep between the lines, it sounds like the Xbox survey is kicking around the idea of used digital games.

Xbox Live Gold membership lets you play online with friends on the most advanced multiplayer network, and gives members up to $700 in free Games with Gold titles every year.
At the moment, this is merely a survey, and Microsoft is still trying to gauge interest in such a program. There are some fantastic games on this list, so make sure to see if there were any you were thinking about getting and take advantage of the sale before it ends. Conversely, one could argue that 10 percent is hardly worth the effort as you’d have to trade in six games that you paid $60 for each just to get one new $60 title.
With the whole notion that Microsoft is opening up to a unified platform with Windows 10, it’s only natural for them to explore the idea of digital game sales and returns a la Steam.
In other news TechSpot reported, “Digital delivery is the preferred method of purchase for millions of gamers”. Try doing that with a downloadable, digital version, which is usually cheaper in the first place. By that, I mean you can’t resell them once you get exhausted of them.
A leaked survey from Microsoft shows that the company is polling Xbox gamers and seeing if they would be okay with selling their games back to Microsoft. If you own a lot of digital games, sell backs would soon add up and cover most of a new game purchase. Recently released packages such as “The Division” and “Quantum Break” are included as well.
These discounts are alone acceptable until March 26, and if you wish a abounding annual of accessible Microsoft Spring Auction specials, you can chase this hotlink and analysis ’em all out. For Movies and TVs, the Xbox Store will feature titles including Better Call Saul, Sicario, The Martian and Straight Outta Compton.

Microsoft is also using the Spring Sale as an opportunity to promote its backward compatible catalog, which includes Fallout 3 and Just Cause 2.
