• Best Buy exec: We're testing video game trade-in kiosks

0 Comments

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In an entry posted today on his blog, BarryJudge.com, Best Buy's chief marketing officer announced a test of video game trade-in kiosks in several of the retailer's Texas locations. Last month, Wal-Mart announced a similar test in 77 of its stores, in partnership with entertainment kiosk company e-Play.

"As we continue to explore new ways to make our customers happy, Best Buy is moving into the used games market. This week, several of our Dallas and Austin stores will test a kiosk-based model that allows customers to insert their used games into a kiosk that will scan it for functionality, and immediately issue a voucher that is instantly redeemable for a Best Buy gift card."
