Tesco has launched its game trade-in scheme across the UK, with over 60 Tesco stores across the country now accepting and selling used games. Could this spell trouble for traditional games retailers?
After a successful trial in its Basildon branch, Tesco is rolling out its games trade-in scheme to over 60 stores with dedicated multimedia departments. The supermarket chain has placed adverts in the national press listing several games alongside the prices it will pay for used copies. Unlike games retailers like GAME or Gamestation, who offer either store credit or (smaller) cash amounts, Tesco will be offering credit that can be redeemed against any product available in store.
