GameStop No Longer Takes HD DVDs, Including Your 360 Add-On

So with the official death of the HD DVD format, there are quite a few gamers out there that have a nice little box sitting on top of (next to) their Xbox 360 that does very little for them now. Sure, you can still play your HD DVD movies, but don't expect new titles any time soon. Were I such a gamer, I'd have gathered up my HD DVD player, movies and headed down to trade them in for some cash. Unfortunately if you haven't done this already, don't bother going to GameStop.

GameStop has officially announced that they will not be accepting any HD DVD items for trade-in. This not only includes movies, but your practically useless Xbox 360 accessory. I can't say I really blame them, as I don't see many people rushing out to purchase these items, even if they're marked down and used.

So if you're one of the people that is stuck with an HD DVD player add-on and a few movies, I might suggest hitting up your other local gaming stores. Game X Change has always been good to me, they may still be taking them. Perhaps your local shady pawn shop might give you a few bucks as well. Then again, maybe you still want to watch your old HD DVDs.
