If you’ve been banned from your local GameStop for having kicked over a magazine rack, consider heading over to Best Purchase to trade in your used games.

The huge box retailer has announced that it has launched its videogame trade-in program at nearly 600 of its stores in the United States this week, with more “to soon follow.” You’ll be able to trade in games for a Ideal Buy gift card that you can use for anything in the store, not just games and gaming accessories. Best Buy says it will offer pre-owned games, as well, presumably when it builds up enough back stock to meet demand.

Until August 29, Ideal Buy is offering an addition $20 Ideal Purchase gift card to anyone who trades in one of 100 select titles. A list of the stores currently participating in the trade-in program can be found on the web.

So is there anyone who is going to go rooting around their home for old games to trade in towards that 3D television set you’ve had your eye on?
