Bioshock 2 and otehrs fo 5 euro when you trade in a game in gamestop

Digitalism

Anyone know or tried it, if theres much of a profit to be made by trading in like Dantes Inferno or Bioshock 2 in hmv as im looking at getting an electronic in HMV.
Also, if anyone wants to know what else there is in this offer, I got Resi 5, UFC 2009, Gears 2 for a fiver each also. I had to ask if UFC was on the offer at the counter, and the guy checked and it was. Just a tip for ye

kin9pin

Just tried to trade in too human, perfct dark and lost in Henry St. Guy behind counter said trade in games must have a sale value of 15 euro to qualify, none of mine did. Weird because I didn't have any trouble in Stephens Green this morning.

Zapp Brannigan

Gonna try this out in Blanch tomorrow. Hopefully they'll accept and I'll use these new games to get FFXIII for nothing (which seems to be what it's worth!)

Lamposts

Maybe they wised up kin9pin.. FS hope they havent or else im gonna be gutted.

Xinkai

Gonna try in Clare Hall on Thursday, Gonna trade in

Forza 2
Soul Calibur 4
Prince Of Persia
Viva Pinata 2

Corholio

Tried to trade in FIFA 09 for Dante's Inferno but guy in Midleton Gamestop said it has to be 2010 for sports titles. So just traded in MW2 for it instead. Darksiders wasnt in the offer but he said it should be by the end of the week.

I was in Gamestop on Patrick Street and the only game they had in stock for xbox was bioshock 2, they wouldn't take Fifa 09 off me either, They guy at the till said he doesn't think the deal will be going for long more.

I got 2 bioshocks and then went to game and traded in 1 and got Bad Company 2 for 15 euro

Lamposts

What games did you trade in for the 2 bioshocks?

Those games should be grand, I even think Chronicles of Riddick is one of the other games you can get but GAME are doing a deal at the moment and if you trade in bioshock 2 you get Battlefield bad Company 2 for 15 euro

LD 50

Cheers. I don't think I'd trade in BS2 even if I had it. I'll prob get ME2 as the second. I still haven't played that yet.

MayoForSam

Anyone know if they are open tomorrow?

If by ME2 you mean Mass effect 2 i don't think it is on the deal, I bought 2 copies of bioshock and traded 1 in for battlefield.

Not sure how much because it was a deal, The deal was that if you trade in Bioshock 2 you can get battlefield for 15 euro. It was in GAME.

Ok as the 1 millionth person to ask,

Are they open tomorrow?

An answer for everyone would be nice.

Mr Trade In

Most shops should be open from 12 until 6 tomorrow.

CombatCow

Bioshock 2 and Dante's Inferno are worth around €30 credit each in HMV, their not taking Bayonetta because it's on sale atm.

whiterebel

GS in Midleton confirmed some titles not covered, such as Resistance FoM, Motorstorm, Assassin's Creed and any sports titles not in the current year, including Fight Night 3 and F1 CE.

Usually for new releases in XV it's either €20 ish cash or €28 trade-up.

Demios

I traded games in today in Wilton, Cork.

Had everything bar Darksiders. A great deal in fairness lads, take full advantage of it!

Moiph

I can't get my head around the fact that they're taking in most games, even the really old ones, as part of this deal! I must go in there tomorrow and try to trade in The Club for something

I should have said in my previous post, minimum value is "5-6 Euros" to qualify.

Darwin

Thanks for the heads up OP. Anybody know if the following 360 games will not qualify for trade-in?

Gears of War 2
Tiger Woods 09
Dirt 1
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent

Cheers.

Only passing on what GameStop told me. Obviously different rules seem to be in place for different shops.

nevaeh-2die-4

How many did you have to trade to get the deal?

HHH

Tried and failed to trade the following games in the crescent, limerick:
Hitman Blood Money xbox 360
Need for Speed Most Wanted xbox 360
Fifa 09 PS3
Crackdown Xbox 360
The guy said none of them qualified.
He said that yesterday all of them would have but today a new value system was introduced from head office.
Moral of the story, once something goes up on bargain alerts, drop everything and run to the nearest shop!!!

List of games for trade in changed this morning.

Cherry_Cola

Just back from the Blackpool store in Cork.

Traded:
Kane & Lynch
Rainbow Six Vegas
Prey
Mortal Kombat vs DC Alliance
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

Picked up:
Dantes Inferno Death Edition
Bioshock 2 x 2

Lips Party Classics.

They wouldn't accept Lost the game which is strange considering what they did accept.

djkeogh

I'd love to see a list of the games they are accepting as there doesn;t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it

mistearious

Just traded 4 absolute rubbish and ancient games for bayonetta, bioshock 2, dante's inferno and dark void with a total cost of €20. Felt like I was robbing them to be honest.

alastair_doom

Maybe the games they're turning away are the ones they have a lot of in stock already.

Demios

They seemed to have change whats accepted now indeed, as a friend of mine had games that i used yesterday rejected. Apologises to Whiterebel and thx for the headsup.

muppetkiller

Gamestop closed in Galway today...
HMV not taking Dantes Inferno Death edition..it's not on their system.

€13 you mean...

Anyway, yeah offer now the has to have minimum €15 retail value.

Also, why the **** does dundalk gamestop not have bayonetta or darksiders in this offer... :mad:

Fnz

Gamestop, Pavillions SC, told me where to go with my "classics".

Not one of them worth the requisite €15.

Only €3, I got €7 store credit back on a gift card

I was looking for Darksiders myself, maybe next week.

pwd

I have a pc and a psp
Don't suppose they would give me the pc version of bioshock 2 if I trade in a psp game..?
