More money – By monitoring the entire used gaming market in Canada, Future Shop ensures they provide the highest trade-in values. The values are in the form of in-store credit to use towards anything sold in store or online at Future Shop.
Quality control – Every game traded-in or purchased through Future Shop goes through rigorous review at a central facility, including testing through a state-of-art machinery. All used games for sale are guaranteed to work
Like new condition – After Future Shop reviews every used game traded-in, it is packaged in its appropriate jewel case with manuals, then shrink-wrapped and stickered, giving it a “like-new” look and feel
