They all accept used game trade ins, of course!

...Well, sort of.  Toys R Us is now testing the idea in a few of its New York stores.

See the link for more details:

...and now apparently Best Buy in the States as well (found by Decrypded):

...and now Amazon.com joins the mix (found by spooon):

Who will be next?!?

i can see the slogan now... Rape: Now @ Toys R Us

Pizza guys are getting worse and worse looking. I guess all the good ones went into porn.

I remember trading quite a few Genesis games to Toys R Us when I was a kid. Pretty sure I got an awful deal.

I hope they bring that up here soon. It's always nicer to have more competition.

Hey I'm all for that, I'd just have some more places to buy those used games for cheap prices, and avoid thier way too high price ones like the plague. So far GameCrazy is the best chain store for cheap games, I love that place.

I agree, GameCrazy easily has the most competitive prices from what I've seen. Sometimes their prices are really wonky though.

The Game Crazy near me sucks posterior. It has no selection and the only redeeming value the sore had (oldschool games) they stopped carrying over a year ago.

Maybe you just have an ebayer that lives near you and he/she takes all the good stuff before you get there. The two beside me are awesome, got some great deals. Last time we got a complete Marble Mania for $13 and a new copy of Luminous Arc 2 for $17 that someone traded in that way

No, it is the store. It has gone through like 8 store managers in the past 2 years, each more inept than the last.
