On Thursday Amazon anounced a new program where customers can trade in used games for store credit. They currently have about 1500 titles that they will accept. What is really nice is that you can clearly see how much they are going to give you for you game so there are no suprises. You simply go thorugh the list and select the titles you want to trade in, go through the checkout process and print a prepaid mailing label. When Amazon receives the games it takes about 2 days for them to examine the titles and credit your account.
The program only gives you credit that can be used on Amazon's site so if you are looking for cash this is not the program for you. As stated earlier it also takes some time for the entire process to be completed so there is no instant gratification to be had. Amazon's trade in prices are a couple of dollars higher per game than what you would get at Gamestop. If you trade in games over the next two weeks you will also receive a coupon for 10 percent off your next game puchase which is nice.
Overall I like this program quite a bit. I am going to send some game in this week and I will let you know how it goes.
