Wal-Mart has begun selling used videogames via their online storefront this week, offering the games for up to 30 percent off MSRP while giving a "guarantee" on quality.
Buyers have up to three weeks to return defective titles and the giant retailer is offering games from the Nintendo Wii, DS/DSi, Sony Playstation 2 and 3 and the Xbox 360.
It appears Wal-Mart finally sees the great margins of used games, which have helped outlets such as GameStop to remain profitable during hard economic times. During a recent quarterly earnings statement, the video game chain said used games revenue jumped 22 percent year-on-year and margins on used games were over 45 percent while new games sales fell.
