Let's just hope they give a better value then Gamestop does. :)

Awesome!  Now we can have some competition in the trade-in market.  Hopefully, this will result in better deals.

GameStop better up their game; their prices were simply awful.

I don't usually applaud Wal*Mart getting even more freaking money, but I will when the one who gets shafted is GameStop.

If I can apply my associate discount on these used games, then I'm gonna use it!

I wonder how pricing is going to go, though. Gamestop has basically cornered the entire market to themselves, so they've got it set up with huge profit margins. Wal-Mart is usually low profit margin, but high volume, so they could easily out price Gamestop. I don't know if they're gonna try, though.

I guess those who will keep watch on those things will report it on the web so lots will know.
