193w ago - Today Wal-Mart has started selling pre-owned video games in many of its US retail locations.
Apparently the chain promises that each pre-owned game is polished, tested and inspected prior to its re-sale.
To quote: "US supermarket giant Wal-Mart has begun selling pre-owned games for the first time.
The ASDA parent has previously installed trade-in kiosks in its stores - a move which has been followed by the likes of Best Buy and the UK's very own GAME.
Now, however, Wal-Mart has also launched a standalone in-store pre-owned section - suggesting its kiosk experiment has been a success.
According to the firm's
Web site, each pre-owned game the grocer handles will be 'polished, tested and inspected prior to shipping'."
Buying a used copy, probably semi scratched, and with cases somewhat used is not my idea of investment. I collect my games and they are my precious gems that I can come back and play again or just look at my collection and say man what a great game this is and they are brand new.
