Toys'R'Us Accepting Game Trades in August
Posted: July 1, 2009 - 1:20 pm by Jeremy

Toys'R'Us Starting Video Game Trade-ins in August

According to a picture of a marketing poster send in from an employee at Toys'R'Us, the company is going to be jumping on the used game money train starting this August. We don't have an exact date yet or any details, but as soon as we do we will let you know.

Toys'R'Us had been testing out used game trades in New York earlier this year, and it looks like it was a big enough success for them to roll out the program nationwide next month.

Do you think this is going to take off?  I think they have a better chance of catching on in the used game market than Amazon.com does, but there is no way this would ever get anywhere near the level of GameStop.  Of course, the thought of being able to trade in a game and use the credit for some new Transformers is somewhat alluring.

Sure I'll trade in a $60 game for barely enough money to buy a new action figure. That makes sense...

This is a never a win for the consumer which is why I don't ever seen anyone ever coming close to toppling GameStop.
