Most regrettable trade-in

JokerD

Whats the one game you regretted that you ever traded in? I was thinking of trading in GTA4 but I've a feeling the day will come when I think to myself "I shouldn't have done that"
What about you guys?

COD4 - I often get mad urges to just throw on a mission or 2, then realise I don't have it anymore Will be re-purchasing for christmas though...

I've traded in GTA4, trust me you won't miss it if you've done everything in the game. And besides, Saints Row 2 is out now which improves on areas GTA 4 was lacking in...

a mate of mine (non gamer type) recently traded in his PS2 pro evo 2008 for 2 euro off another game (not even cash)

was down drinking with him lately, and was dying for a game but this failure was pretty special.

COD4 no way, I'd keep that for sentiment alone:D

thats why I tend not to trade in, the only reason I traded in Pro Evo before is because I preferred FIFA that year

The most recent one was skate.

It was a great game and id love to have a game of it now.

Gears 1

Now I tend to keep games i really enjoyed and just trade ones that i couldnt wait to get finished and to be done with the darkness and such.

Ive kept ghost recon 2 orange box etc

Retr0gamer

The Darkness and Kane and Lynch and only because I should have traded them in before my OCD took hold and I had to beat those two pieces of ****.

F1 2002 unusually.

I've never traded in a game in my life. Mate has a particularly bad one though. I'm sure he wouldn't mine me posting this here.

He traded in Suikoden on the PS... I think he got £10 at the time... He's expressed his regret on numerous occasions; not because of the financial loss, but the loss of a great game!

Zavvi have it for 30 quid in the classics range. Got it yesterday (again) and its savage...

I traded in condemned after playing it for an hour or two and then rebought it having heard more good things about it. Have subsequently completed it and it's sequel and will but a third one if it ever comes along.

solace

PGR4. Only because I got €7 for it. It was in immaculate condition...

Ninja Gaiden Black. Needed lunch munnies.

COD4 - Was going through it on Vetern and it just pissed me off too much about halfway through. I will get it again eventually.

Ninja Gaiden 2 - Got to the second last level, and there was a game breaking bug, which meant I'd have to start the whole game again. Promptly traded.

can't believe the cod4 trade-ins, just shows how good it is when you are considering re-purchasing it. Never played Ninja Gaiden but seen it mentioned a couple of times

Lost planet, the multiplayer was great!

Asmodean

****ing traded in loads of my gamecube games a few years ago and was raging!! Took me ages to reclaim them back from various shops and internet searching
But back on topic with xbox games, definitely regretted trading in the orange box. Have such an urge to play that again!!

Riesen_Meal

Been dying to get LBP for my PS3 and decided to trade GH3 on the PS3 towards it there the other day, (as the new one is out) got 40 quid trade in in extra (with guitar) and they had a second hand LBP for 50, so I payed a tenner for it, delighted to get it but disgusted that I got rid of GH3 as I loved it!

Then the day after my mate (a journalist) calls up to me and throws a cd in a case on my lap, LBP, promo copy, disgusted with myself then!

I traded, or rather swapped, my Sega Nomad for a Virtual Boy, not sure if that was the right thing to do!

I sold my first PS together with a perfect PAL edition of Castlevania SOTN, together with the art booklet and the soundtrack CD, feck! I sold it to a friend of a friend.
Then, nearly 7 years later, I was over in that same mates place, and I mentioned the game to him, and lo and behold, he had ben given the PS plus a load of games he never played, and there it was! Castlevania SOTN, plus everything else!
I was reunited!
BEST DAY EVER!

I second that. Was watching the boxing Saturday night, and all I wanted to do was to play fight night. Roll on round 4 when ever that is.

RAIN

COD 4 I then bought again about a month later and played the hell out of multiplayer then traded it in again because the multiplayer was taking over my life.

Out in February/March! woot!

Traded in my N64 with Goldeneye years ago against one of the launch PS2's. It had the extra memory and everything. I'd really love a game of that now. Although maybe my memories of the game are better than the game itself.

nicklauski

Pgr 3 & 4. 4 was a little too easy so I didnt mind getting rid of that. Bioshock, wish I had held onto that, although you can pick it up fairly cheap in Xtravision, used, steel tin for €20 I think. That game took over my life for about 3 weeks.

Nam_Man

I bought a bog standard xbox today ... With Fifa 09 ... Not into football.

A new game, not even left the store ... €20 trade in ... Its nearly €60 to buy!! Feck that ... Onto ebay it goes ...

Y2J_MUFC

Where are selling FIFA 09 for over €50?????? I've seen it for between 25 & 40.

Mine isnt a traded in story, but a loss in general. I gave a loan of my copy of Final Fantasy VII on the PS to my ex(who I was still going out with at the time) earlier this year, she lives off up the country, and lets just say the break up wasnt exactly a nice one and I hate the fact that I cant get the game back!! Its my favourite game ever perhaps I should go and get it back ninja style :cool:

Just grow a pair and get it back! This is FFVII were talking about!

Yes the break up was bad but it will make it so much better when you will be sitting down playing FFVII wont it?!

Moiph

Haha I'd get it back if I could dude, but I have no contact with her anymore, no number or anything. Kinda screwed! I'll pick it up again somewhere, I have to!
