SwitchGames Attempts To Offer Gamers And Publishers More Value For Used Games
A lot of gamers aren't pleased with the amount of credit GameStop issues for used-game trade-ins. Even newcomers to the multi-billion dollar business, like Amazon and Toys 'R Us, aren't offering gamers much more. SwitchGames is taking a different approach to used games. While the company doesn't offer the simplicity of a GameStop trade, it attempts to offer better value.

In many ways, SwitchGames is like a virtual swap meet. gamers can offer up their goods and trade them with other users. They can actively search for trades or passively field offers for the games they list. In the near future, gamers can buy or sell used games. Whatever the case, the users determine the value -- not the company. This offers gamers more control and if they're smart about their business, more value. Gamers can accept what they want and reject what they don't.
