Don't see how most retailers would bother to accept that plan if it really does leave them with just a 10% cut while MS and the publishers get to haul in 90% of every used game purchase.

The 10% cut on new games is a big reason why those same stores carry used games since it barely covers the costs needed to run a store in the long term.
