UK retailer GAME to cease video game trade-ins, staff say
GAME, the UK's biggest high street video game retailer, will no longer allow customers to trade in physical video games…

I'm surprised Game has lasted as long as it has. Do people really buy games as a physical transaction when they are downloaded and activated by a code? As for hardware better prices can be found online as well.
I usually buy COD in tescos - always cheaper than a download on PS4
I also usually buy cod in Tesco. But probably not in quite the same way.
I *used to buy games on disc, complete them in a few weeks and then either sell it on marketplace or trade it into GAME.
Unfortunately, with the advent of the digital only versions of these consoles, that market has utterly dried up and I can't move games on anymore, and GAME totally takes the piss with regards to what they're willing to offer.
So, yay I guess. Long live only being able to buy games for above RRP on the digital store front.
As a PC gamer who tends to buy most of their games in Steam sales, I assure you that gaming on the cheap in a digital world is most assuredly possible.
The open ecosystem of that pc and the closed one of the consoles aren't really comparable though. I've got so much more choice on PC than I do on console.
... Yeah once you've also bought a gaming PC for more than I've spent on my PS5 and all the games I've bought for it since.
Fair point, I suppose the fact that I need a decent desktop PC for other things too means that it makes sense to spend a little more to get one that is also decent for gaming.
