Amazon.com starts used game trade-ins

Check it out, you just type what game you want to sell and it tells you the value. Hear that Gamestop? I can predict what I trade in!

I just read about this over at CAG. I guess Toys R Us is doing the same thing. Guess we'll see how things go. Glad to see a site where I can see my trade in values. Gamestops site only shows you the most popular trade ins.

In this case I may actually sell some stuff on here because at Amazon I can actually trade it for something I want. Brick and mortar stores for anything other than recent and moderately-popular games are no longer an option much for me.

Now I can trade in some crap 360 games for used PS1 titles!

I think it's interesting that they offer different prices between the original release and it's greatest hits packaging. The GH are worth less...lol. Finally, someone else "gets it".

$40 for Marvel Vs Capcom 2 for the PS2, that's actually not a bad amount for an "older game" Looks like they did their homework.

$14 for Wii sports? O_o That *sells* used for $14.99...

Can't wait for the "Amazon stole my games!" threads to start popping up...

More competition is always a good thing. Let's see how this plays out.

I always find this funny because I'm certain it has more to do with aesthetics than anything else. I prefer non-GH versions because they tend to look nicer despite the possibility that perhaps the GH version is the "rarer" one and might even have bug fixes and other useful things. It's funny how the same game can end up with split numbers because of an art variant. Now instead of 100,000 copies, there are 60,000 of the normal version and 40,000 of the GH version. It's completely irrational and yet I'm perfectly ok admitting that I can be just as irrational.

I think I like this better if Amazon gave me a wider range of games they are taking on trade. Great idea though, although you get the price back on an amazon gift card. Meh overall 7 of 10 till I try it out or read an indepth review of it.
