The Redemption Process

With all of the fantastic DLC content out there for all three consoles, I think a better system needs to be put into place. Whether you're paying with LIVE Points, Wii Points, or just plain old Sony American Dollars, there should be a reward system for being a repeat customer.

I think you should be able to trade in an old DLC that you don't want anymore for a discount on the next purchase you make.

Example:

I bought Donkey Kong Jr. on my Wii the first week or so I had the system. It was a nostalgic little purchase -- I finished the game in half an hour or so and then promptly decided I'd never play it again. It was a mistake, more or less. I think I should be able to download Mega Man 9 for 900 points instead of 1000 if I trade in my Donkey Kong Jr. Nintendo should see that I'm a repeat customer and I should be rewarded if I want to trade in one of my shit games for a discount on a better one.

There are all sorts of economic reasons not to do this, I'm sure; none of which I would understand even if you explained them to me using flow charts and pie graphs.

I guess the one reason I would understand the most is how Nintendo would reconcile discounting a Capcom game because I bought a Nintendo game more than a year ago. They wouldn't, is what I'm saying.

I still think there's something to be done, though.

I'm just thankful every day that I didn't have to pay for that fucking Too Human demo.
