Best Buy, Canada’s fastest growing retailer and e-tailer of consumer electronics, computers and entertainment products, is now offering customers the option to purchase previously played games online for as low as $4.99 per game.

“Some of our customers tell us they want the newest games the moment they’re available, but will quickly move on to the next big thing. Others tell us they’re willing to wait but love playing games again and again,” said Aliya Kara, Director of Marketing Best Buy Canada. “The Played It? Trade It! Program has allowed both groups to save money on a wide variety of titles in-stores and we’re thrilled to now offer our customers the option of purchasing previously played games online.”

The online selection can be found at www.bestbuy.ca/preplayedgames and includes games for several popular game consoles including Playstation 3, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, PSP and Xbox 360.

All used games are thoroughly inspected for quality assurance and are backed by a 30-day exchange policy. Best Buy will exchange damaged games for the same title (pending availability) or in-store credit.

Customers can also search online for title availability at their local Best Buy using the “check local store availability” feature.

Previously played games are not available in Nanaimo, Winnipeg and select Ontario Best Buy Stores. Customers are these regions are invited to shop online for all of the latest titles
