    Sorry if this is the wrong place guys, just wondering what the best place is to do trade ins with PS3 games? I have a few to trade in and just wanna get maximum return on them :)

    My options are Gamestop, XtraVision or Smiths, oh and a pawn shop?

    Anyone any idea?

    In my opinion HMV are the best :rolleyes:but symths are pretty good too. Sometimes xtravision have good prices, sometimes they massively 'rip you off'

    Don't go to game stop they will rob you :(

    I went in with 25 games during the week and they were giving me 60 euro. There was games like little big planet two and GT5 in that bunch! Some of the games they were gonna give me 50 cents for!

    I'd always choose between the two. HMV usually cheaper, but my local Xtra Vision always seems to give good trade-in price, so if the difference is less than a fiver i go there (keep local folk in employment:)).

    No way in hell would I go near Gamestop or Game (when in existence).

    When I tried to trade in my games to HMV they wanted proof of adress and a form of ID. I did not bother with them as why should I give them my information like that? Also when I tried xtra-vision they wanted me to join them which meant giving them id and proof of address also!

    The only one out of all the stores I tried that didn't ask for this information was gamestop but they offered me 60 euro for 25!
