is it possible to use the 500 game list to pre-order a game for 3 euro? id prefer to get rid of the games I have in mind now rather than when LA Noire comes out(the new release game I have in mind)

nope has to be out now

corcaigh07 · 24-04-2011 1:07am

ok so, shame

DARK-KNIGHT · 24-04-2011 5:07am

CPR sigh trade the games now for whatever game is most expensive instore at the moment!! Go back into store an hour later and say the game isn't what u wanted and look for store credit. It's the best way to get maximum value for your money and it should easily cover la noire

Anyone know how much i'd get for Fight Night Champion,wouldn't mind getting Portal 2.

You dOnt need to preorder stuff with that 3 quid deal. I walked in on Friday with 3 games and took mk. No preorder at all.

Is there any more bargains around? As I am all out of those games in list and I don't whana give anymore of my games.

All this 3 quid deal looks like some sinister plan.... Somehow I feel it will bite us gamers in to arse later on...

Nobody said u havevto preorder with that deal????? That's obvious it's any new release for 3 games and 3 euro but games are limited as to what they will take as a trade!

Best value is online watch zavvi.com amazon.co.uk play.com or the likes of those big online stores

Speaking of which!
Gamestop are also giving away something small when you scan the QR code from the €3 trade-in sheet/leaflet and show the resulting page at the counter in every Gamestop shop.

Have no idea what you get when you do show it to them though. Probably just a neck/lanyard thing like the free thing that came in the lucky bag a while back. Who knows.

How's that for modern technology, Calex :pac:

Last time I was in the Gamestop on Liffey St ( near the Haypenny Bridge) they had a 2nd hand copy of Halo Wars Collectors edition in the metal box. Think it was about €15.

Been at least 3 week since I was last in there though.

corcaigh07 · 26-04-2011 12:06am

i reckon gamestop wont honour the 3 euro deal for la noire so might be safer to trade in a new release and pre-order. dont like the word "selected" new release on the list of games

just get the highest value game instore and then return it unopened for full store credit...

I think somebody said on here that they're honouring it, hence why it's ending on May 20th. You'd just have to pick it up on launch day

Again, I think someone said on here that it's €6/8 in HMV. I wouldn't know, I try to avoid hipster-filled dungeons (now that's a fact)

Zero-Cool · 26-04-2011 12:58am

ya, gonna check out hmv for a cheap copy of blur. imo HMV are the best game shop at the mo. Best prices, excellent trade in prices and the staff (crescent, limerick) are always dead on.

You definitely can do it, I went in with 3 quid and was assured that I only had to return with my 3 games from the list when LA Noire comes out to pick it up. Once the game is due out before the offer is over (end of May I think).

Healium · 26-04-2011 1:25pm

Anyone care to find out if you can get the soundtrack + DLC with LA Noire?
