Top Online Games Retailer
gives customers credit immediately for their traded-in games - can also
be used against PS4 or Xbox One pre-order!
Green Man Gaming,
one of the world's fastest growing online games retailers, today
launches a trade-in service in the UK for Xbox 360 and PS3 games,
allowing customers to trade their games in against anything on GMG,
including a PS4 or Xbox One pre-order.
Having rolled out a PC Digital trade-in service at
launch in 2010 and acquired the Playfire social network of core gamers in July 2012, GMG is following up on this by giving UK gamers a new, fresher way to cash in the value of their games. Customers simply trade in their games for GMG Credit to use against their next purchase - but unlike other services, they can choose to use this credit instantly and buy anything on the Green Man Gaming site immediately before they even send their games off - no waiting around for weeks on end. Games can be traded in against PC Digital games, consoles games and peripherals or a Next Gen console itself.

Also launching on GMG in the UK is a range of pre-owned games - giving gamers more ways to save by having the same games at even lower prices.
"Today
we are delighted to announce the launch of our UK Trade-in and Pre-owned
services," said Paul Sulyok, Founder and CEO of Green Man Gaming. "The
Xbox One and PS4 announcements at E3 showed how passionately people feel
about being able to unlock the investment they've made in their games
and we feel GMG's unique platform allows our customers to do just that
and benefit immediately." Sulyok went on to add, "We live in an age
where games and hardware have become so advanced that they are more
expensive and less attainable in today's tough economic conditions.
Reducing this barrier by allowing gamers to use the value of their
current games against their Next Gen purchase can only be good for the
industry. Now you can buy a game from us, track your gameplay free on
our Playfire service and then trade it in for your next new gaming
adventure straight away. As GMG only focus on the core gaming audience,
we feel we are in a great position to help them make this transition to
the Next Generation."
Martin
Baxter, EVP of Trading at GMG, also added, "Our customers tell us they
want choice and immediacy. Offering trade-in, immediate GMG Credit and a
used games catalogue helps us deliver on this." Baxter added, "To mark
this UK launch GMG will also be adding an additional £2 trade-in bonus
to every game traded in during the first 2 weeks - and this can be used
immediately against anything on the GMG website, including a pre-order
of the much anticipated PS4 or Xbox One."
