    The T&C for the offer say no more than 1 copy of a game, just wanted to post that in case others do the same, walk into the shop and are told they can't trade in multiple copies of the same game. Might depend on the store if they notice/care or not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,329 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    Yeah but you can just walk to a different Gamestop. There's 3 in town and 2 are around the corner from each other. I don't know what to buy but I have plenty of the games.

    Btw has anyone found anymore cheap games to trade in besides Bully and Bratz


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭nevaeh-2die-4


    i went in 3 different times and the 3rd time the boys were laughing when i was walking towards them .

    A bit off topic but does anyone know how much gamestop charge for MS points

    Might use this offer to get them on the cheap :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Traded in a bunch of games I no longer play for the Wii/DS/360 and got €188 for them. Added a euro and got myself a new Jasper 360 arcade, because my old pro was on its last legs, disk read errors all over the place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,195 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    I did a bit of buying today to get myself a 360 for as cheap as i can

    Tesco Athlone did not have Fallout 3 (which is apparently €15)

    Xtravision:

    Cooking Mama 2 [DS - preowned] €20 (realised when i got home that it is american, if Gamestop dont take it I'll be returning it to xtravision and demanding my money back!)

    Devil May Cry 4 [PS3 - preowned] €20

    Sonic Unleashed [wii - new] 2 for €40

    Tak and the Guardians of Gross [wii - new] 2 for €40

    so €80 for €120 worth of stuff.

    Games i already own:

    I also have GH3 on the wii (i bought two for two guitars, havent played two player in about year i'd say!)

    GTA4 on the Ps3, im pretty bored of this!

    Games im might still buy:

    COD WAW on the ps2 is 18.99 in argos.

    And If i can get my friend in galway to buy them

    Bully and bratz from hmv!

    How much is for a 360 in Gamestop?

    By the above post i see its €189 for a Arcade, how much extra for the pro?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,329 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    i went in 3 different times and the 3rd time the boys were laughing when i was walking towards them .

    Yeah I walked round to Liffey St. To save the embarassment. I bought 1 originally in HMV and went back and bought 2 more, walked around the corner fixing up 1 of the copies i.e. Take off the price etc. But I accidentally handed in the one with the price etc. Still on and yer man in Liffey St. gave me one of those looks

    bully for wii 12.99, psp 2 for 30 brothers in arms and rainbow six vegas all in hmv, 42 euro...

    60GB 360 hard drive for 70 euro, 20 euro credit on a gift card.

    all in all a good productive sunny day in town :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,195 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    Bully on wii was €20 in HMV in galway :(

    Loads of €12.99 Bratz though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,221 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    Bully on wii was €20 in HMV in galway :(
    I was in HMV in Swords today and they had a load of copies for €26 or 2 for €40. After searching around, I managed to find 2 copies at €12.99. Got Bratz too. The girl in GameStop questioned why I owned such a game :D

    asked what they were giving for bully on the wii in henry street today and was told you get only 17 euro store credit. also noted that all advertisements for the 300 games were taken down. from the looks of it, gamestop pulled the plug on this offer before the end of april. hopefully the cashier misunderstood me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,195 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    Oh god


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


    They were taking them all day in Limerick. Have some games that I will get rid of tomorrow morning just in case.


  • Registered Users Posts: 611 ✭✭✭bkrangle


    They were taking them today in Dublin (Clare Hall)

    Though I wouldn't be surprised if Bully was taken off the list, they've probably gotten hundreds of preowned copies of that now!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭nevaeh-2die-4


    i abused the offer big time it makes up for the years ofbeing ripped off with there dodgy trade in prices.

    i have a spanking new ps3 thanks to the offer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 187 ✭✭Murilloinf


    so did I, got a new x-box elite for 120€... hopefully bully still on the game tomorrow...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,917 ✭✭✭B00MSTICK


    Is anyone else thinking they might be able to make a profit by just trading games they buy online?

    I've picked up GTA China Wars new for €12.50, its retailing for the £25 mark on play.com so I'm guessing €15-€20 trade in value?

    Same with Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir (£25), Mario Kart (£25) and Professor Layton and the Curious Village (£30) etc.

    GTA:CW currently has a trade in value of €30 in gamestop as do all the other games you mention

    €12.50 seems incredibly cheap for it though, are you sure its not a fake/copy?

    I actually meant even when the top 300 for 30 deal is over but obviously I'll trade em in as soon as I can.

    Well I've just gotten 2 this morning, but I won them in a standard auction and the seller was from dublin, the game looks legit and all the instructions/box etc. are in english, although I reckon the game originated from Germany.

    I have one coming in from HK so I reckon that could be dodgy but the seller has a great feedback rating so I'll risk it.
