    Hi all,
    Smyths are doing a trade in 2 PS3 games and get a new one free.
    So I popped into HMV and bought Blacksite and Stranglehold for 16.99 each.
    Brought them back and got Battlefield Bad Company Gold Edition ...
    Repeated the same steps with a different member of staff and picked up top spin 3 :D
    So basically any new PS3 Game for 34 euro whohooooo hehehe

    Is the offer on 360 games too?

    if its the same deal as Gamestop, be careful. They only accept new-ish games as part of the deal.

    I remember I went in with CoD3 last xmas and they turned me down. But I know a m8 of mine was able to trade it in and get the deal no prob with a different member of staff. He got lucky I guess :(

    Maybe worth asking what games qualify before buying them.
    At least then you'll know what's acceptable.

    Just give them a ring and ask about the games you have..

    Interesting, do the trade in's at smyths have to be worth a certain amount like in gamestop, or can it be "any" 2 ps3 games ?

    They have to reach a certain value but they accept most games..

    I checked today and the games have to be of a certain value. They would not accept Formula One as part of the deal (which is fair enough because its fairly old), but offered me €4 for it:(. There are only certain games they will take so it's a bit misleading if you ask me.

    Well it's not that misleading if you actually read my thread.
    Go into HMV and pick up both those games for 34 euro ...go to smyths and exchange ...simple
