GAME selling XBLA games and DLC

Pay cash, use trade-ins.

You can now buy downloadable content and Xbox Live Arcade games from GAME shops around the UK.

A six-month trial (that begun yesterday) sees 40 GAME shops erect bays to sell 30 games and pieces of DLC to the public.

Digital content will be sold on cards that hold codes. Each bit of content is priced individually, starting as low as £2.04.

The benefits? Paying in cash and being able to trade-in old games for re-spendable Reward Card points.
