A friend of mine tipped me off on this site.

The Gamers Exchange is a site dedicated to helping gamers trade games they have already played.

The way it works is quite simple. I have an Xbox 360, and I’ve just finished playing Need for Speed Carbon. I want to play something else, but don’t feel like splashing out R500 for a new game, and having NFS lie around for the next decade. So I simply ship them the game I have finished playing, and they let me choose a game they have, and ship it to me. With some games it’s a free trade, with other games you need to pay in a little. It’s a brilliant site that brings together something that people have been doing on an ad-hoc basis for ages. New games are very very pricey, and you rarely replay games.

There are a few games I would not get grid of, Gears of War being one of them, Halo 3, and possibly Assassins Creed. But the rest of the games I play, I want to get rid of once I’m done with them.

If you live in South Africa, have a look.
