Used Video Games At Wal-Mart?



If reports from all over the blogosphere are to be believed, we just might see this happening very very soon. The news is that people have been seeing a lot of these red kiosks, which are supposed to be “Video Game Buyback” stations, all over various Wal-Marts. These stations are purportedly part of Ohio’s E-play.

Some “official” figures have been released by Kombo, stating that there are 77 stations located in various Wal-Mart branches all over the US. The idea behind this program is that users can receive credit on their credit cards instead of the usual cash back system. And how much credit can one receive? They say that it can be anywhere from 50 cents to $25, depending on the title of the video game. Naturally, newer and hotter items will receive higher credits.

The idea of buying used games back is nothing new. Indeed, you probably sell your used games to Gamestop on a regular basis. So why are we going gaga over this new thing at Wal-Mart? Well, it is a sign of things to come, if anything else. Wal-Mart is a big franchise and having them buy back used video games means more convenience for us. More so, the Wal-Mart system has an advantage because it puts the credit into the credit card of your choice. This is unlike what others have, which is usually in-store credit only. The only concern now is that the credits offered are not as high as what you might get from Gamestop.
