Amazon launches video games trade-in store in challenge to GameStop

Amazon.com Inc has launched an online videogame trade-in store, granting credit at the online retail giant to customers who send in used games.

According to a company blog post from Amazon, “Amazon Video Games Trade-In is a new service that enables you to trade in your games for an Amazon.com Gift Card”.

Customers use a prepaid shipping label to send a used videogame to Amazon and receive credit in return they can use to purchase items on Amazon.com. Users can mail in used games and get varying amounts of Amazon.com credit, including a 10 percent bonus toward items in Amazon's online video games store.

Amazon's move is seen as potential challenge to US videogame retail store GameStop, which has 6,100 stores in the United States and 17 other countries and offers a lucrative game trade-in service.
