Toy retailer Toys "R" Us has announced the launch of a videogame trade-in program, one that will be available in all of its stores throughout the US.
The program itself will be similar to that of GameStop's, as well as Best Buy's, who accept games via vending machines or through sales desks.
Gift cards for the chain are given in exchange for the used games, which can be from literally every system you own, including Atari 2600, PlayStation, PlayStation2, Xbox, Nintendo Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Nintendo NES, Intellivision and Sega Genesis.
"The video game trade-in program is another way we're providing customers with additional value when they visit our stores," added Bill Lee, the company's VP and divisional merchandise manager. "This program is designed to make the exchange process completely hassle-free for customers by accepting games from even the oldest systems."
The trade-in program beings today, with ads circulating in newspapers and online.
