Best Buy has announced that they will begin to buy & sell used games in all US stores later this summer. From Gamespot :
While some Best Buy stores will have dedicated trade-in desks, most locations will handle game buybacks at the customer service desk. Customers will receive their compensation in the form of a gift card good for anything in the store, and any used games purchased will be covered by the store’s return policy.
Once the program starts, customers will be able to use the Best Buy website buyback program to get estimates of likely trade in value for their games before going in to the store and trading it in. That program can also be used to figure trade value of various types of electronic hardware.
Best Buy is just the latest major retailer to try to chip in to Gamestop’s chokehold on the used games market, with Wal-Mart, Toys R Us and Amazon already trying to carve out a piece of the market.
