Best Buy Test Offers New Games at Used Prices

Retailer Best Buy has begun a local test program that will allow customers to buy new games for the price of a used copy at competing stores.

The program was spotted at a West Jordan, Utah store by a CheapAssGamer forum member. A store billboard (pictured left) says that it will price match new games at used prices from GameStop or Game Crazy.

Joystiq later reached Best Buy for comment, with the company confirming that the test is limited to the West Jordan area.

Best Buy is currently testing its own used game kiosks. The automated machines will allow for the buying and selling of used games.
