Gamers who have amassed a huge library of games know that they are essentially sitting on a gold mine. Of course, if you wait too long, games will lose their value and when you go to trade them in, they will be close to worthless. Luckily, places available to actually trade games in are in no short supply with the latest of such to be Amazon.co.uk. While Amazon.com has long been accepting trade ins, this is the first we’ve heard of their European branch doing the same.

Unfortunately, instead of cold hard cash you’ll be given Amazon credit for your trade-ins but then again, who cares? Amazon has pretty much everything you can ever think of, right?

Did you pick up a game this past easter weekend from UK retailer GAME? If so, you may want to check the game’s quality as reports are coming in that the retailer actually sold used games as brand new.

However, fret not as the retailer has admitted that they are wrong and are offering refunds and/or exchanges for anyone who got shafted out of a new game.

Normally, trading your used games into GameStop would net you close to nothing. However, they are running a promotion that will give an extra 50% credit for trade-ins. Of course, you’re still only going to see anything from newer titles like BioShock 2, Modern Warfare 2 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii which will all net you $35.

There’s no word on when this promotion will end so you better hurry up and say goodbye to your brand new games sooner rather than later if you’re trying to get in on it.
