Online retailer Amazon.com is now selling used games, and accepting trade-ins from customers. The company launched a beta for the service this week.
Amazon's guidelines are that games must be in good condition, and have trade-in value of $10 or more. Customers then ship the games to Amazon for free with a printable shipping label and packing slip, eventually receiving an Amazon.com gift card.
The website lists trade-in values for console and handheld videogames.
Amazon has previously allowed users to sell their own used games via its website. The retailer has been ramping up its games business as of late, introducing digital downloads of casual games this year.
Some game publishers and developers have publicly denounced the used games market, suggesting that it hurts the industry as game makers don't directly see a penny from the sale of a used game.
Companies have been exploring direct to consumer sales venues, namely digital distribution, as well as retail incentives that encourage the buying of new games.
Most recently, Ready at Dawn CEO Didier Malenfant told Edge, "I'd love to see anything that can help distribution move quicker toward a 100 percent online model. It's not piracy but used games that are killing us."
