    HMV have 42 all time classics for DS and Star Wars: the Complete Saga for Wii at a price of 2 for 40 euro.

    Both on the list.

    Thats 40 euro for 60 euro credit.

    A few minutes work to get 20 euro credit. Luckily enough, in Limerick each HMV is 2 minutes from a Gamestop :)

    Is it just €30+ trade in off another game or can i get the same value in store credit to use to buy a console ?

    It has to be used straight away, but you can use it to get a console or anything in store.

    I'm thinking you can use it against anything in the store i have about 11 games on the list so i would prefer a console than 300 euro worth of games. as id haev a far better chance of selling on the consol efor cost price or just below.


    Trying to read the even smaller than normal small print at the bottom i think it says ( but ill need some help here )

    No multiple copies of games. All games must be boxed and in working order.Offer for trade in credit only no cash alternative. Cannot be combined with any other offer. something a bit blurry here. Information correct at time of going to press.

    Yeah thats what it says. A word of warning about getting consoles. You can use the credit to get a standalone console, but you cannot use the credit to get a console bundle. Crazy, but dems the rules!

    Nice one, I just traded in GTA IV (which was a present, and I was sick of it) and Fallout 3 (got for 33 euro in Gamestop before Christmas) for 60 euro credit and got Gears 2, FIFA 08, Splinter Cell Double Agent and Condemned, all second hand...I'm a happy gamer!!! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 611 ✭✭✭bkrangle


    I used it to get a ps3 bundle yesterday, so that might vary from store to store


    Also, HMV (Grafton st anyway) have bully for wii for €12.99 which is on the list

    Think I saw viva pinata ds for €10 in my local xtra vision too!

    Traded in Fallout 3 and Soul Calibur IV today for crackdown and Call of Duty:WOW.

    I got the special edition of Fallout last year for 35, it it worked out quite nicely.


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


    Hmv (patrick street) has Brothers in arms d-day and Rainbox 6 Vegas, both on psp as a 2 for €30 offer. Both of which are on the list.

    I shopped around today and spent 140 on 8 games on the list. those plus 2 from my collection gta4 and prince of persia mean that i got me an xbox:D

    And i also bought a bundle so i don't think bundles are outside the offer


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,237 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    I'm going to attempt to get an Xbox 360 Elite for as cheap as possible.

    So we have 2 games for 40 euro, 2 games for 30 euro, bully for 13 euro...thats 150 credit for 83 euro.

    Any other uber cheap games?

    How is this abusing the system???

    There are 3 parties involved. The purchaser, all non-Gamestop game stores and GameStop

    1) The purchaser gets a great deal by working hard to find these offers.
    2) All other shops such as Game get rid of many of their second hand games for the prices they have set out.
    3)Gamestop get a full catalogue of the second hand games that they are actively seeking which helps their primary form of business which is selling second hand games...you don't think they picked 300 random games?

    So can you explain how this is abusing a service if everyone comes away happy?

    Anyone know how much a standalone Arcade 360 is in Gamestop?

    Both of you are saying the same thing, yet there seems to be a slight difference in your posts? No need for the abuse there horse.
