Anyone buy Portal 2 and MK at the same time with this offer? Were they happy to do it or will I have to go into town and just go to two different Gamestops?

I went in again today in Cork with the games I couldn't sell last time. The guy told me that the old list was only valid for a handful of older games - Crysis 2, Homefront, Pokémon B/W and one other that I cant remember. I got Crysis.
Better than having to keep that copy of Velvet Assassin anyways.

It was nice to see that MK was completely sold out though!

Naphiel

It's a horrible thing to see, since I ran around to five different Gamestops today looking for MK and they were all sold out.

Got to play it in Liffey Street for awhile at least.

I once traded in an old game plus two euros, three times to GAME for three new copies of pokemon games.

I then sold those Pokemon games to Gamestop for 9.99 each (29.97 euros) and put it on a voucher card.

so I basically got 30 quid off the game I wanted to buy, for the cost of 6 euros actual cash and 3 second had games worth about 12 euros between them

it;s worth mentioning different game stores value 2nd had games differently.

Gamestop will offer more the GAME for newer games and less for older ones, where as GAME will usually give you more or less depending on how good/bad common/rare the game is.

Went to Gamestop in Blanch they told me it is completely sold out, the girl in cashier told me Henry street outlet has a MK game went over there and got it! Had 2 games already in the list and have to buy off one more game got it from Xtravision for 10 euro so only had to pay 13 euro in total at gamestop for MK instead of 50 Euro for full Mk retail price

I was so lucky in getting Mortal Kombat..they have very few at the moment

Yea some shops are behind when it comes to price drops. Couple of weeks later you see the games marked for more used then they are new.

I got 30 trade value for Halo reach in Xtravision last week. Its selling for 20 new in HMV. No wonder they are going out of business.

I was offered 28 for MvC3 in Smyths when it was 35 on the shelves. I kept it in the end as I would only end up buying the bleeding thing again at some stage. Good price though.

I find Gamestop to be the worst of the lot for trades. Staff can be smart arses also.

So:

Xtravision are selling Soul Calibur 5 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 New for €25 each

They're also marked as buy two get a 3rd free. so a potential of 3 games for 50 quid

I spotted a second hand copy of SFXT in my local under the same deal.
Or you could probably look for a game that's actually good :pac:.

Edit: just realized Since the last post in this thread Game and HMV have closed down, and blockbuster are ****ed. It's a shame, gamestop are often way overpriced...

Gamestop have SxT second hand at €27, and new at €17.99.

Go figure.

MK9 is free if you're on PS Plus. Honestly, I highly recommend going with PS Plus. The amount of good games I got off this is just amazing.
