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.

Papa Midnight: Had to google around for a bit: Nintendo Land was the title. Specifically, "Luigi's Ghost Mansion". A friend brought it to a collective game night. I think that was one of the longest played games on the night as it was downright enjoyed by everyone.05/21/2013 - 11:00am
Papa Midnight: I must admit, I played a few games on the Wii U that were well designed for it and usage with the controller and found the experience rather enjoyable. I cannot recall the title, but it was a party-type game.05/21/2013 - 10:58am
Andrew Eisen: The fact that it's totally awesome?!05/21/2013 - 10:55am
