    Funny one here, and might take a bit of leg work.
    GameStop are selling dead space on ps3 for 19.99.

    However, they will buy it back off you for 30eu.

    So buy it and sell it back at another store or to a different staff member and you’ll have an extra 10eu.
    They’ll also give you an extra 20% if you trade against chart games. So you could have an extra 16eu spending power in total.

    Only valid until the end of the month.

    You could also just pop in to HMV and pick up Rainbow 6 Vegas and Brothers in Arms on the PSP which are in the 2 for 30 section and trade them in for 60 Euro credit in Gamestop :D

    Just out of curiousity, where do you find out how much Gamestop are paying for trade ins? Is there somewhere on the net or do you have to go in to the shop to find out?

    Well atm they have a promotion on where if you trade in certain games this month you get €30 store credit. Heres a link to the original thread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055535972
    Click on the attached image to see a list of games that are in the promo. Ohterwise i think you just bring the games in and they'll give you a price.

    Popped in at lunchtime and was pleasantly surprised to find that Gamestop will accept import PS3 games.

    Got €30 for GTA IV US import, and €30 for Sega Megadrive Collection.

    Both together were worth a maximum of €30 elsewhere.

    Also picked up Ferrari Challenge & Baja in the '2 for €40' in HMV, both of which get €30 on trade-in.

    It is only for store credit but €120 store credit for essentially €70 outlay is not bad.
