Not sure about the rest, but not GAME

You are probably better putting them up on Boards.ie for sale Consoles section and seeing what someone will give you for them .. you cut out the middle man, so you will probably get money by selling it less than GAME would sell it (since they have to give you money and get money themselves)

I've heard that Smyths is best. You're better trying to sell them on here though or in Buy and Sell.

Would you try ebay? Whatever you do try to remain away from Gammy(Game) then will give you fifty cent and expect you to buy another item from them!

another vote for boards
failing that, you could always stick the game on ebay

either way, you'll get a hell of a lot more cash than you would from the high street rip off merchants
go here to sell
or here to trade

Stay away from all of the game shops, best off selling them here. You get feck all from all of the shops and then they go and sell your game for twice/three times the price they gave you.
