Toys R Us launched their very own video game trade-in program today, where top competitors such as Amazon, BestBuy, and of course GameStop are already doing it.

Although, there is a slight difference at Toys R Us which is that you can trade in any games from any time or system, it does not matter if its from Atari or Intellivision.

Beyond helping customers trade games from current systems such as the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable, Toys”R”Us stores will accept games from almost every gaming system imaginable. Games from systems such as the Atari 2600, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Nintendo NES, Intellivision, Sega Genesis can be exchanged.

Customers can participate in the video game trade-in program at Toys”R”Us stores in the United States as follows:

  • Used video games in their original cases, with the original case artwork may be brought to a Toys”R”Us Guest Services desk.
  • Games will then be scanned and prices will be offered for individual titles.
  • Gamers confirm that they want to accept the offer to exchange any, or all, of the games they brought to the store.
  • Once the transaction is complete, customers receive an activated gift card equal to the total worth of all games traded.
  • Immediately upon receiving the gift card, customers can purchase any product from iPods and toys to candy and diapers at any Toys”R”Us or Babies”R”Us location or online at Toysrus.com.

Pretty cool of Toys R Us to accept even game from Atari, so if you have time why not lug your old dusty games to the “guest service desk” at Toys R Us and check out the value of your games.

If you do please tell us the rate they gave you for what game you traded-in, so we can compare ^^. Thanks!
