Trade in for elite

thebman

Anyone know how this works?

I was thinking of doing it, do Xtravision do it?

I have a 360 Premium and want to trade it in, what do I have to give them in the trade in (controllers etc..) and do I need the 360 box or whats the story?

Also how much can I get and where is the best place to do it.

Dont think xttavision do it

I traded mine in gamestop last year and got €260 against the elite. I had to copy my game saves and profiles onto a friends elite first though because they wouldnt give me the same amount if I brought it in at a later date.

How do you copy your data across? memory card?

Ronan

If you bring in you premium to gamestop it will cost you €209 for the elite and they will copy all your data accross to the new HDD for free if you ask them.

Make sure you bring everything that came with it, cables, 1 controller, battery case thingy, headset and plug. You don'r need the original box or manuals.

Does anyone know if game do a similar offer as its a lot closer to me than the nearest gamestop?

Game don't even seem to have an Irish website :rolleyes:

BFassassin

Im sure they do but when I was trading in they were offering less than gamestop were.
I think game was 200 but gamestop was 260. The price of a game in the difference.

thebman

I might just trade in my launch games for the difference as they are mostly crap.

I think I'd still take game as I don't have a car so I'd be going in on the bus and I don't fancy walking around the city centre with a 360 in my bag both because of the weight and the likelyhood that someone will rob me.

I can hope off and get into game pretty easily in liffey valley which is why I'm so in favour of game.

Do I need the LAN cable? Surely not? I have a lan cable but not the one that came with it :-/

BFassassin

I had to leave my ethernet cable in when i traded in mine. It probably depends if they know to look for it though. If they do want the official one then just give them the one from the elite if you dont need it.

thebman

Cool thanks, I'll bring in another one and see if they argue and then I'll tell them to keep the one from the elite. I don't care either way, I have crap loads of LAN cables and access to thousands more in work

I'm looking at game in liffey valley to trade in, I'm wondering do they check lot numbers and stuff because I want a falcon with the benQ drive if possible. I think most of the new ones are this anyway so I should be safe enough at this stage. I imagine Game in Liffey Valley's stock turns over fast enough and their store room small enought that I'd get a late lot number.
