Gaming Bargains (not Freebies)

They are some shower of jokers alright. I was in the one on Henry St earlier, and saw a bunch of games 2 years or so old stickered with free when you trade in 2 games, or priced 49.99 and these were not A grade titles when they were released :eek:

Fine so, long may they continue to be this shower of jokers then! It's a bit of 'the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing'.

As Wilser stated, gamestop are offering a new release for the effective cost of €15; play this new release and trade it into Gamestop and it is possible to get up to €56 credit on a preorder (using their offer of 25% bonus on preorders). So that is two new releases for the total cost of €15 (Wilser did well, €18 was the best I could do:(). Damn good bargain! Work Gamestops deals correctly and excellent bargains can be got. This all against €50 for a two year old game:eek::eek:.

I couldn't give a crap about how much Gamestop are going to sell my traded in games for. They were three games I haven't played in over a year and were just going to end up in a box in the attic with my PS1 and PS2 games. This way I get to recycle my junk and get a brand new, and pretty class, game for €3.

You can be as cynical as you like, but for me personally, it's super value.

Is this Gamestop list online anywhere?

I'll have a look in xtravision and see if there's any copies of NHL2K7 lying around (not sure if that should be there, it's only on the ps3 list, not 360)

Any 3 games on this list, doesn't matter what platform, and you can get homefront, crysis 2 or Tiger woods 12 for €3



There's also another list of 500 titles that you can get in-store (similar to the one above) that lets you get any new release until 20th May.

I know that, but I want to know which 3 games I can buy for €12

wilser

the way i got 3 for €12 was 2 pre owned ps3 games for €10 and a pre owned ds game for €2, all in xtravision,in fairness i had the gamestop list in my pocket...

Wow that's great value, some of those games are really old at this stage and I deliberately haven't traded them thinking it wouldn't be worth my while.

Now I just need to decide whether to get Crysis 2 now or wait for Mortal Kombat...

Ooh, what were they? My local XV is small, so they probably won't have them in stock, but it's worth a shot :pac:

Isn't there a huge loophole in this? I mean, you can easily obtain 3 copies of, say, Overlord 2 (one of the games on that list) for about 20 euro, and then you can use those 3 copies to get a new game, and voila! Or am I missing something?

cant be three of the same title. Says so in the small print. But you can get three of the older titles for as little as say 15euro by shopping around and then trade towards one of the advertised new releases.

Gamestop will not accept 3 copies of the one game trust me I know lol

I would love to take advantage of this offer however every time I click into the pdf it tells me there that the file is damaged and it won't load.

Anyone else having this problem??

ShiverinEskimo

its the official release date plus the 21st is a Saturday

DARK-KNIGHT

think someone made ref to it not qualifying due to end of offer im obviously wrong though sorry guys.

ShiverinEskimo

I could see them somehow excluding it one way or the other because it's a game that's likely to clean up for them either way.
