High street retailer HMV is following the lead of Amazon.co.uk by considering the implementation of pre-owned trading of game titles via its website.
The renowned music, film and game chain is looking into introducing an online model in 2011, to complement its in-store Re/Play service. Just last week, Amazon started allowing customers to buy and sell second-hand titles at competitive prices.
HMV's Re/Play games manager Martin Baxter said of the proposition:
"Amazon's move comes as no surprise given that some of the major players do not offer an online trade-in service. Although there are games swap websites and the likes of eBay who offer this type of service. But their prices can vary dramatically, making it difficult to understand the value of the offer."
