HMV launches game trade-in Android and iPhone app

Check how much your tired old titles are worth

If you want a crappy deal on your old games then grab this app immediately!

HMV has outed a new smartphone app that will show gamers how much their old video games are worth in a trade-in for new titles.

The free re/play app, which is available for Android and iPhone lets you check how you can get for a game by entering the title or using the built-in barcode scanner.

Once you've checked the, most likely paltry, deal on offer from the retail outlets you can head to the store and get the asking price towards a new title. HMV says it might give first-timers the confidence to have enough to trade-in.

HMV Games re/play manager Martin Baxter said: "We're incredibly proud and excited to be the-first-to-UK-market with a games trade-in app for iPhone and Android.


To make this an even better idea, the likes of HMV could start offering customers a better deal for their games, because right now, the Amazon Marketplace and eBay are far better options for gamers.
