Trade-in Games for Food

August 20, 2010

Hungry? Have a stack of old videogames? Live near a Tesco store? Then you might be in luck.

MCVUK is reporting that at least 60 Tesco stores are now accepting videogame trade-ins and the resulting store credits can be used to purchase anything in the store. Among a sampling of prices being offered: £12 (approximately $19 U.S.) for 2010 FIFA World Cup on the PlayStation 3, £17 (approximately $26 U.S.)  for Mario Kart Wii and £19 (approximately $29 U.S.)  for the Xbox 360 version of Red Dead Redemption.

The purchased traded-in games will be available for consumers to buy used in the stores as well.

Select the pre-owned games check box on the Tesco store locator to find a location accepting trade-ins near you.
