HMV is to start taking pre-owned games for store credit but with a slight difference to other stores that do this - you will also be able to buy CDs and DVDs with said store credit.

"Our launch into pre-played games and the acquisition of gamerbase.com underlines HMV’s long term commitment to games as it becomes an ever-increasing part of our overall product mix," said HMV managing director Simon Fox.

HMV will be taking trade-ins across all major platforms. Well this can only really fall flat and fail or this could be quite a good way to keeping the biggest gaming retailer Game in check with its customer base and offer better trade in prices.
