Forums - Gaming - Amazon launches trade-in program for used games

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10189352-2.html

On Thursday, Amazon announced a new program for customers to trade in used video game titles in return for credit at Amazon.com. The program is launching with around 1,500 titles, all of which can be filtered and searched by platform. Once users have picked out the games they own and would like to exchange for credit, Amazon provides a pre-paid label that covers the cost of shipping. Then, after Amazon confirms that the right games were sent (and not scratched to oblivion), it credits the user's account.

im hoping all these companies starting used game outlets cause GameStop to rethink their strategy before they go belly up.

That's pretty neat. Its only like at the maximum of $3 difference between Gamestop and Game Crazy.



Hmm... I like. But too much work involved. But it would be nice to get actual money to use on amazon, instead of credit only available at GameStop. Amazon credit would be infinitely more useful than that.




Here's is the aftermath.....
