Walmart.com is the latest online retailer to jump into the used games business. Used games debuted on their website today, appearing to be available online only.

The link below will show you the 29 used games currently available on Walmart.com. Although the selection is incredibly weak right now, I'm going to make a safe bet and say that the selection is going to grow larger pretty soon. Hopefully, the prices will become more competitive as well.

UPDATE: All used games have been pulled from the site.

UPDATE #2: Pre-owned landing page added with 221 games for sale.

Used Game Selection at Walmart.com

nothing good

Does Walmart take only games with case & manual? Or is it just all out? Hopefully they only accept games that are complete and get some good prices soon.

those are just awful prices, even for new in some cases.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (Xbox 360) - Pre-Owned $49.96!?!?!

Pretty much what others are charging without the benifits. I look for them to get competitive real fast.

I don't know why all stores dabbling in used games always sell them for ridiculous prices. Probably because humans are idiots and will pay those prices, but any game on that list is probably easier to get elsewhere.

I feel bad for people without the internet. :(

What a random selection. It's as if some guy working on the Web site put some of his unwanted games up for sale. Hopefully it grows and prices get better. More competition is always good.

Somehow I get the feeling that more stores like Wal-Mart getting into the used business, is going to start another outcry from publishers? They are going to eventually want their cut.

Hmmm, I wonder if our employee discount cards will work on this stuff.

I'm tuning my tiny violin in anticipation.

Actually, all of these games are being sold online only.

It seems more like Wal-mart is attempting to do what they always do, which is drive the smaller stores out of business.

Cheapy, is that the first attempt at a small new designed Wal-Mart logo for the Forum Index?? It looks like something straight out of Crackdown..why not make all the 'sticks' perfect rectangles...or is that some kind of infringement??

It's the imagine from their favicon (browser icon). I'll work on after I get some sleep. If anyone else wants a shot at it, a 15x15 icon with transparent background would be ideal

With Companies complaining about EB selling used games hurting their bottom lines, what will be the repercussions of TRU, WM, EB and I guess BB will eventually get in the act....I imagine at some point it will hurt some big budget particularly single player games....and the industry will take a hard stand and go with alternatives like digital download only?

god, this is ridiculous. Now everyones running a pawn shop. Digital downloads are coming and there go any deals that were thought of coming.

I have not shopped at walmart in a few years...not going to go back even for cheap games...

Yeah I think we should ban together and just to save physical media and the accompanying deals, we should Go to retailers outside of the Game Only stores like EB and maybe let TRU slide and make the other retailers frequently open the used games for inspection before purchase then point out something wrong with the disc and not buy, causing time and money to the retailer who will get out of the used game.
