People are saying Nintendo would never do this, but go to any product page in Nintendo of Europe's website and you'll see a form to request a refund for content bought in their eShop. In fact, they've been the only gaming company to allow refunds under the EU Right to Withdrawal.
The cancellation right expires earlier in respect of the contracts listed below:
contracts for the supply of digital content: where we supply digital content not on a tangible medium, the cancellation right expires if we have begun our supply of the digital content after you have expressly consented that we can begin the supply before the cancellation period ends, and you have acknowledged that you lose your right to cancel the contract in this circumstance;
WOW ... that is something i thought id never see for digital purchases.
play less than 2 hours and process the request within 14 days of purchase? nice.
Sounds like someone could buy & download the game, go offline & complete the game & delete the game/save data, and then request get a refund?
Edit: As long as its with 14 days of course.
Microsoft is truly #4theplayers.
They're the pro-consumer console manufacturer this gen. Who would've thought after that initial reveal.
So does that actually work? Say you buy a digital game one week then it is on sale the next, will MS actually allow you to repurchase the same game if you just returned it? That seems like something they would combat.
Is a cool service, but certainly not the caretakers of PC gaming.
From your console? Maybe. I had to do it when I traded in my S and did it on my PC.Can you do self-service "cancel my xbox gold account" these days? I remember being shocked at how difficult that was back in the day.
Isn't that just a result of how they built PSN, though? I always heard it was so deeply entwined within the system, changing names would be extremely complex.People saying Sony is next should remember you're still stuck with your psn name.

lol @ Steam getting all the credit.
Good on MS, didn't think they'd do something like this, or any of the big three for that matter.
LoooolHas there ever been a more consumer-friendly platform holder?
On Steam they encourage using the refund feature for cases like this. So long as you haven't played more than 2 hours you're good.So does that actually work?

Between cross-platform play, refunds, name changing and various other things Sony's court is full of balls that they still ignore.

But this is nice. It increases my chances of getting an Xbox again. Tho that means that soon I may be paying PS Plus, Xbox Gold, and Nintendo monthly subs :-(

They really have done everything right in hardware and services since Phil took over.
Are you expecting PC/PS4 or do you not count the cross-platform/remote play they have going now?
cross platform play doesn't count theres no benefit to Sony for allowing it to happen with other consoles. Refunds though everyone needs to get on that especially Nintendo.
For several years now. They even refund your money if you cancel shortly after subbing. Can also delete your credit card from their system.Can you do self-service "cancel my xbox gold account" these days? I remember being shocked at how difficult that was back in the day.
