According to industry site MCV, retailer HMV are giving gamers the chance to insure any games they buy for the cost of just £1 per year.
A spokesman told MCV that,
At the moment the idea is just a trial, by way of affording further value and consumer protection to our customers.
It follows a similar initiative in our Canadian chain, and we’ll obviously be monitoring the response of our customers in order to decide if we make this a regular part of our offer or not.
Obviously you have always been able to insure your hardware, but insuring games is certainly a first. Personally I think it is a great idea, although in saying that I could count on one hand the amount of problems I’ve had with any of my titles.
So what do you think? Would you insure your games?
Thanks, MCV
