    Just a question on trading in games.
    I have a 360 and am looking to get the Xbone.
    I have about 80 games and am wondering where is the best place to trade them in.

    Smyth's told me they do the best price but I need to bring them all in and get store credit.

    Any advice of the best place.

    Cheers, will check them on CEX.
    Pity Smyths can't put a list of prices online...
    At least I'll have an idea from CEX and see who is best

    Cheers.
    Ended getting the list prices from CeX, stuck it in a spreadsheet and went to Smyth's first. They would take very few of them as they were old, but most of the ones they took they offered better prices to Cex.

    Brought the rest to Cex and they were great in fairness, only a few with scratches that they didn't take and I had a few limited editions which they recommended that I keep or sell online as I'd get better prices.

    Ended up trading about 60 oldish games, kept all the ones I liked and came out with about 300 quid which will be going towards my new xbone tomorrow.

    Happy days :)
