Trading in games in Smyths?

Rozie

I'm wondering how much you get for it, and also if you can use "In Store Credit" like in Gamestop/Game, and also use that credit for other things in Smyths like Transformers.

Come on, someone's got to know!

I'm not too sure but I think the exchange rate is pretty crap, something like a tenner a game.

Yeah Xtravision as far as I know. Have only traded in in Gamestop before, but I stopped when I was offered 2 euro for an Xbox game.
Moral of the story? Dunno. Something about caveat emptor i suppose.

I've gotten 99c for stuff in Xtravision before. They're pretty terrible.

Gamestop "can" be good depending on what you're trading in.

The only things you get nothing for in Gamestop are Xbox games because the 360 has almost taken over that market or games that are like 4 years old. Not sure about Smyth's though. Best thing is to take your games round to all the shops and see if you get more cash in other shops than credit in Smiths? Some games may be worth more in some than others.

99c for what? fifa 04? you have to consider the fact that these games have to be sold off again, at a profit (business, y'know?). no one wants smelly old xbox games, or old yearly-updated games like fifa, so stores wont offer much for them (to try and make you NOT trade it in).
