Best Buy Canada Entering the Used Video Games Market

With all the money stores like GameStop make on second-hand games, it looks like Best Buy now wants in on the action. Best Buy Canada is planning to test a used games program in six of their Future Shop stores located in Calgary. From there, they hope to expand it to all 133 Future Shop locations by the end of the summer. Plus they plan to undercut EB Games’ prices in order to compete with them and eventually sell used games through their website. No word yet on whether Best Buy might expand this new program to the U.S. Personally though, anything that gives GameStop some solid competition sounds good to me.
