DS game Trade ins

    I realise that it has been asked umpteen times before but the prices change regularly so I thought I would make a new thread.

    I have a good few DS games that I want to trade in in order to get Resident Evil 4 on the Wii.

    I have

    Metroid Prime Hunters
    Project Rub
    Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
    Advance Wars DS
    Animal Crossing : Wild World
    Meteos
    Tony Hawks American Sk8land
    Feel the Magic: XY/XX

    I was just wondering who gives the best trade in prices at the moment. Bear in mind that I have on Game and Xtravision beside me so they are the only two that I have access to.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    PS. They really should have an up to date trade in value checker on heir websites, shouldn't they?

    Just to follow this up I suppose.

    I traded in 4 games and got E58 for them. I remember that I got E24 for Meteos but I can't remember what I got for the rest of them.

    Meteos - E24
    Tony Hawks American Sk8land
    Feel the Magic: XY/XX
    Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

    Who gave you €24 for Meteos, Xtravision or GAME? I got Meteos for €25 (2 for €50) in Xtravision the Christmas before last and never really liked/played it.

    I got it for E25 in Xtravision aswell but when I traded it into Xtravision, they gave me E24 for it.

    Happy days! :D

    Xtra-Vision apparantly give the best prices,i.e if you find a better trade in value elsewhere they will match it.

    I checked all those games you mentioned for ye,in terms of a trade up (i.e store credit), not cash.

    Metroid Prime Hunters-€24
    Project Rub-€6
    Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow-€12
    Advance Wars DS-€12
    Animal Crossing : Wild World-€20
    Meteos-€24
    Tony Hawks American Sk8land-€12
    Feel the Magic: XY/XX-not on system

    So if you traded them all in with the exception of the one that is not on the system you would get €110 store credit. Enough for Resident Evil I would imagine! :p

    Will they work on a European DS?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,784 ✭✭✭im...LOST


    They took mine!

    The games was called Feel The Magic but it's called Project Rub here.

    I told them that it was an American one but the DS is region free so it doesn't matter. I just said that it's called Project Rub here and she just said ok and said nothing more.

    However, XV are unlike Game in that, they don't scan the games to check their trade in price. they put them in by typing in the name.

    I'm unsure about how flexible the Game system is tbh.

    I think GAME will take in DS games from a different region, but not region free 360 games. No idea on their PS3 stance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,147 ✭✭✭mise


    Cool.. I have about 6 US games so Ill give it a go later and hopefully theyll take them
