A service that promises to allow gamers to 'trade in' digitally downloaded games is set to launch in the UK.

Green Man Gaming plans to launch at the end of the first quarter of Q1 2010 with 400 titles - and plans to offer over 2,000 games available by the end of the year.

Gian Luzio, COO for Green Man Gaming said:

"Previously the minute you had paid and downloaded your game it had no resale value. This is extremely expensive for the gamer and does not encourage the consumer to try new genres or franchises.

"Our leading edge technology gives downloaded games a value that gamers can trade-in at any time."

The company pledged to 'pay significant royalties to publishers each time a game is traded'.

We don't quite fully get how it works yet, but they seem mighty confident.

If it works, would you be interested, readers?
