Most gamers know full and well that they can trade in their used games to GameStop. Those same gamers also know that they typically won't get a whole lot of cash for said games unless you use some sort of deal with the trade in. However, there may finally be an alternative to trading in to GameStop. According to phear3d's CheapAssGamer Blog Toys 'R Us has started accepting used game trade-ins very soon. I am going to go to my local Toys 'R Us at the first chance I get to make sure of this and to see what kind of prices they give for the trade-ins, but the simple concept of having someone other than GameStop to trade to is very appealing. If there is competition in the used game market (which, until now, there hasn't been) that means GameStop and Toys 'R Us will have to price against each other both in what they give you for your games and in how much they sell used games for. Overall this is good for all gamers, especially when budgets are getting tight.
That's pretty cool, Rosco...though I've never been keen on Toy's 'r' us' generally higher prices. I can't even remember the last time I bought a game from there. Maybe I'll swing by the bangor one sometime now.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but you need to remember that Toys 'R Us also typically has better sales. Take advantage of this at the right time and you could have quite the deal.
