So if you’re anything like me you can’t ever part with your old games even when you’ve gotten every achievement possible. You’ve been through a lot together, killed endless aliens found hidden treasure and discovered killer new moves. Especially when the likes of Game only want to give you store credit for your “preciouses.” And normally only for a couple of quid at that.

Well there is now a new option to tempt you to part with your gaming buddies. In the form of Tescos. Yes that’s right they are now good for more than just energy drinks and snacks to keep you going during endless Red Eye Sessions.

They have started to roll out a trade in scheme. And not just for credit towards games. You can use the money for anything they sell. And the prices they are offering seem surprisingly decent.

For example they are offering £19 for Red Dead Redemption, £12 for 2010 FIFA World Cup and £17 for a used copy of Mario Kart.

So the prices seem decent. And let’s not forget all the tech they sell through their website, and suddenly my connection to my Gears of War disk is not feeling so strong anymore.

However I don’t think that you’ll be able to trade in bundled games as Game won’t even take these, but hey there is always eBay.

On a final note I think that it’s a really good thing. The more options gamers have the better. And if it forces other suppliers to put their trade in prices up all the better.
