Best Buy gets into the used game business
GameStop does it. Amazon does it. So why not Best Buy? The electronic giant is now handing out store credit and checks for your used games. They even have a pretty convenient online trade-in tool for you to use that shows you the estimated trade-in value of your game, console or whatever else you can manage to trade in.
One thing you should be aware of though is that according to the fine print, you’ll have to have purchased the game at Best Buy if you’re going to the store for a trade. Yep, it seems like they’ll require a receipt. Otherwise, you’ll have to use the online trade-in website above.

It was just a matter of time I suppose.

I think this is a good move but they are going up against a juggernaut in the used game buisness.
If they want this to be successful I believe that they should have rediculously awesome trade in credit while being able to sell the games for cheap!
They should do this because they shouldn’t try and make bank off the games they should try and make bank by having those gamers in the store buying other products like a 55 inch T.V. to make whatever game more awesome
IMO

Target is going to do it too. This is excellent. More competition against Gamestop will drive down used game prices. Craiglist/Amazon are always better alternatives IMO

This is good. Gamestop rapes their customers on the re-sale of used games.

I’m not keeping receipts laying around on the off times I buy games at Best Buy.
