UK-based retailer GAME are running what may be the first of a new breed of trade-in deals this week with Test Drive Unlimited 2, which launches on Friday. Those who pick up either the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 version, both priced at £39.99, can redeem £35 of in-store credit if they trade it in before February 24th.
Effectively it’s a full-package (disc, box, manual) rental option, ideal for gamers who maybe want something to chew on before trading in and hunkering down on one of the month’s more prolific releases, including Bulletstorm and Killzone 3. It will be interesting to see how many units GAME are able to shift and if this promotion will be adopted by other outlets in future.
Note that buying a copy from GAME will also net you some exclusive goodies including a higher level cap and some sweet rides.
We’ll have our thoughts on TDU2 at midnight tonight.

the 5 quid that GAME make on every copy taken back is more then what GAME will make on every brand new copy they sell. everyone knows GAME make more money on used rather then new games and this is one way to make sure they get as many back as they possibly can. but why anybody would take it back within 2 week and get £35 back when under the law you can get a full refund within 28 days if you really wanted to.
