    One of the lads on our forums just posted this. Havent seen it myself but looks like a decent offer. Have five on the list myself that I was thinking of trading. €150 credit would be sweet.

    Not the biggest pic but names of games can be seen.

    Yeah its a good deal alright. I traded the Sega Megadrive Collection for €30 (which is great considering I bought it for €35)


  • Registered Users Posts: 690 ✭✭✭Frankmagnet


    The way the deal works is you get the 30e + if you trade in your games on the spot. You cant get the credit on a giftcard. Still a great deal though

    I Am Alive is on the list under Xbox, found that a bit strange considering it aint out till next year :confused:

    That guy is a notorious bull****ter who has been site-banned several times. Don't take any notice of what he says.

    Thats a bit harsh, I read it as a question.

    Actually, has anybody checked these in any f the other stores? Xtravision/Xtra Game or Game or that? Seeing as Gamestop are notoriously expensive anyway, your €30 would only be offset against their higher prices anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭thealltimelow


    yes 10 games = 300 euro and its credit in the shop
    got guiter hero world tour and 2 more games


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91 ✭✭KarlNedCarew


    Bought Prince of Persia in gamestop couple of months back for €25. Now they're gonna give €30 credit for it. Gotta love it:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭thealltimelow

    There are so many ways to abuse this offer, its not even funny. I was around town today and found so many games which you could buy for way less than 30 euro and then trade them in.

    If you are looking to get an Xbox for 200, you could buy 7 different games for 22, 22, 20, 20, 20, 20 and 16 and trade them in for 210. Thats 140 for 210 credit..

    I didn't do this by the way :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Are they all €30.

    Annoyed that alot of them are CE editions when i have normal

    Wouldnt mind shifting

    Gears 2, GTA 4, Halo 3 and Redi 5, that game got 10 minutes of play then shelved.

    Dude I wish I had 140 in cash! :(

    Anyway, I'm gonna trade in GTA IV and Fallout 3 for Gears 2, and hopefully FIFA 09 second hand. Best deal ever :D
