Gamestop Top 300 games to trade in for €30

bucks73 · 11-04-2009 3:20am #1

One of the lads on our forums just posted this. Havent seen it myself but looks like a decent offer. Have five on the list myself that I was thinking of trading. €150 credit would be sweet.

Not the biggest pic but names of games can be seen.

Mr E · 11-04-2009 7:43am

Yeah its a good deal alright. I traded the Sega Megadrive Collection for €30 (which is great considering I bought it for €35)

Frankmagnet · 11-04-2009 9:41am

The way the deal works is you get the 30e + if you trade in your games on the spot. You cant get the credit on a giftcard. Still a great deal though

FreeOSCAR · 11-04-2009 12:17pm

I Am Alive is on the list under Xbox, found that a bit strange considering it aint out till next year

weeder · 11-04-2009 12:18pm

They had a big cardboard stand with the offer in the dun laoghaire store

Mr E · 11-04-2009 2:05pm

They have a free April gamestop magazine in store - thats where bucks73's scan came from.

weeder · 11-04-2009 2:30pm

nevermind, went in and seen a big sign for it, 30 quid off cod5 nice one

dez_warlock · 11-04-2009 4:20pm

Frankmagnet · 11-04-2009 4:29pm

Closed tomorrow.

Luap · 11-04-2009 5:11pm

kensutz · 11-04-2009 5:13pm

300 cash or credit in the shop.

koneko · 12-04-2009 9:35pm

Someone answered it above. It's credit in the shop, so buy something else, you can't get get the credit on a gift card.

That guy is a notorious bull****ter who has been site-banned several times. Don't take any notice of what he says.

Thats a bit harsh, I read it as a question.

Actually, has anybody checked these in any f the other stores? Xtravision/Xtra Game or Game or that? Seeing as Gamestop are notoriously expensive anyway, your €30 would only be offset against their higher prices anyway.

thealltimelow · 13-04-2009 8:22am

yes 10 games = 300 euro and its credit in the shop
got guiter hero world tour and 2 more games

KarlNedCarew · 13-04-2009 8:37am

Bought Prince of Persia in gamestop couple of months back for €25. Now they're gonna give €30 credit for it. Gotta love it:)

thealltimelow · 13-04-2009 8:42am

about time thare giving good money for games

Sorry, I was referring to thealltimelow and not the poster quoted.

Thats what I plan on doing myself.

Will be getting Killzone 2 bundle and another game.

thealltimelow · 13-04-2009 4:29pm

You can get sonic unleashed for sale in xtravision for 20 euros and sell it to game stop for 30 euro

rejkin · 13-04-2009 7:52pm

whys fable 2 not on that list? would i get much for it?
Iv got gta4 and fallout3 to trade in and got lost odyssey and fable 2 which i want to get enough to get a preowned ds which is 99€
Anyone know how much lost odyssey and fable 2 would get me? they dont say the prices over the phone for some reason

Swizz · 13-04-2009 8:14pm

Im gonna get rid of CoD5 and maybe gears 2. Both terrible terrible games

FutureGuy · 13-04-2009 9:07pm

There are so many ways to abuse this offer, its not even funny. I was around town today and found so many games which you could buy for way less than 30 euro and then trade them in.

If you are looking to get an Xbox for 200, you could buy 7 different games for 22, 22, 20, 20, 20, 20 and 16 and trade them in for 210. Thats 140 for 210 credit..

I didn't do this by the way

TheDoc · 13-04-2009 9:53pm

Are they all €30.

Annoyed that alot of them are CE editions when i have normal

Wouldnt mind shifting

Gears 2, GTA 4, Halo 3 and Redi 5, that game got 10 minutes of play then shelved.

Dude I wish I had 140 in cash!

Anyway, I'm gonna trade in GTA IV and Fallout 3 for Gears 2, and hopefully FIFA 09 second hand. Best deal ever

thealltimelow · 13-04-2009 10:32pm

I say at the end of this they’re going to have one store full off gta4

FutureGuy · 14-04-2009 3:07pm

HMV have 42 all time classics for DS and Star Wars: the Complete Saga for Wii at a price of 2 for 40 euro.

Both on the list.

Thats 40 euro for 60 euro credit.

A few minutes work to get 20 euro credit. Luckily enough, in Limerick each HMV is 2 minutes from a Gamestop

Lenny · 14-04-2009 3:13pm

has anyone got a clearer picture, its kinda hard to read..

Dublin_Gunner · 14-04-2009 3:16pm

B@stards! I traded fallout 3 last month for all of €16!

14-04-2009 3:33pm

Is it just €30+ trade in off another game or can i get the same value in store credit to use to buy a console ?

It has to be used straight away, but you can use it to get a console or anything in store.

I'm thinking you can use it against anything in the store i have about 11 games on the list so i would prefer a console than 300 euro worth of games. as id haev a far better chance of selling on the consol efor cost price or just below.

Trying to read the even smaller than normal small print at the bottom i think it says ( but ill need some help here )

No multiple copies of games. All games must be boxed and in working order.Offer for trade in credit only no cash alternative. Cannot be combined with any other offer. something a bit blurry here. Information correct at time of going to press.

Yeah thats what it says. A word of warning about getting consoles. You can use the credit to get a standalone console, but you cannot use the credit to get a console bundle. Crazy, but dems the rules!

thebigcheese22 · 14-04-2009 4:13pm

Nice one, I just traded in GTA IV (which was a present, and I was sick of it) and Fallout 3 (got for 33 euro in Gamestop before Christmas) for 60 euro credit and got Gears 2, FIFA 08, Splinter Cell Double Agent and Condemned, all second hand...I'm a happy gamer!!!

bkrangle · 14-04-2009 4:14pm

I used it to get a ps3 bundle yesterday, so that might vary from store to store

Also, HMV (Grafton st anyway) have bully for wii for €12.99 which is on the list

Think I saw viva pinata ds for €10 in my local xtra vision too!

jcrowbar · 14-04-2009 4:19pm

Traded in Fallout 3 and Soul Calibur IV today for crackdown and Call of Duty:WOW.

I got the special edition of Fallout last year for 35, it it worked out quite nicely.

KarlNedCarew · 14-04-2009 4:26pm

Hmv (patrick street) has Brothers in arms d-day and Rainbox 6 Vegas, both on psp as a 2 for €30 offer. Both of which are on the list.

I shopped around today and spent 140 on 8 games on the list. those plus 2 from my collection gta4 and prince of persia mean that i got me an xbox:D

And i also bought a bundle so i don't think bundles are outside the offer

FutureGuy · 14-04-2009 4:44pm

I'm going to attempt to get an Xbox 360 Elite for as cheap as possible.

So we have 2 games for 40 euro, 2 games for 30 euro, bully for 13 euro...thats 150 credit for 83 euro.

Any other uber cheap games?

Lenny · 14-04-2009 5:07pm

Typical Irish abusing the service as usual...
bad form lads

14-04-2009 5:38pm

Just after getting a new DS lite, one new game & travel pack for €9 + 5 games
