    I traded Dark Sector without any problem, but they didn't accept The Darkness for PS3... So they don't really have to be new games in my opinion...

    Wouldn't say I've much left to go.. wonder can I trade that in?

    Battle field is ok not the worse game out there , Drakes fortune on the other hand is brilliant !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,779 ✭✭✭dmcg90


    Asked in store today, they said pretty much any game except for old sports/racing titles (eg Ridge Racer, Fifa 07 etc) can be traded in! Im going straight for Mirrors Edge!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste


    Nice, will get rid of Rock band, Guitar Hero3, Fable 2, Dark Secotr, Viva Pinata hopeuflly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 414 ✭✭ElBarco


    Has anyone managed to find out what 360 games are included in this promotion?

    the only ones i found out where blacksite and battlefield bad company


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭James Howlett


    I was in there yesterday having a look at the 360 games.
    From what I can remember the 360 games offered for €5 include:

    Alone in the Dark
    Beowulf
    Dark Sector
    Fable 2
    Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (none of the other guitar heros were included)
    Halo 3
    Mass Effect
    Mirror's Edge
    Scene It: Box Office Smash (Disc Only)
    The Last Remnant

    Mirror's Edge, Fable 2 & Mass Effect are their lead titles anyway.
    I got Tomb Raider: Legend for €2 as part of one of their promotions in April. I only bought it because it was €2 but I was able to trade it in yesterday as part of the deal. Pretty sweet.

    Soemone mentioned earlier that not all games will be taken back, that is true there is an exclusion list so its best to ring ahead and check that your game/games will be accepted.

    And yes I do have a good memory:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste


    The XBOX360 list is pretty bad tbh. Only Mass effect, mirrors edge, and fable 2 really stood out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭thealltimelow


    sanits row 2 ce is all so in the deal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste

    d post


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste


    And can you trade in ANY game for it? or does it have to be of certain value. As I was thinking of trying Tomb Raider Legend and PES 6 for it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭thealltimelow


    no pes6 because its a football game also they take trl go down to extravison and get lost or pgr4 for 10 euros 2nd hand and trade them in against any game they have on there list


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭James Howlett

    You sir are a gentleman.
    Nice tip.
    Anyone notice if Lego Batman is included in this 5euro offer?
    I can confirm that they do take tr: legend.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste


    A few other games I saw that in case anyone wants to know was: NHL 2k9, NBA 2k9, Don King Prizefighter, The Darkness, PGR4, Dark Sector, to post above, im pretty sure I saw some type of lego game, not sure what it was, might have been indiana jones. Also Fatal Inertia.

    Thats all I can remember, and why not PES6 becuase its a football game? Do they not take sport titles?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭thealltimelow


    lego indiana and as well pes6 is a old game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭James Howlett


    There is no market whatsoever for old sports games, thats why they won't take older pro evolution or fifa games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,527 ✭✭✭mcw92


    i have oblivion for the ps3. normal edition/ will they take that?
    was hoping to get battlefield bad company for ps3 in sligo , anyone know if it is there?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste


    Going in tomorrow to try for Battlefield Bad Company and Saints row the 360 in this deal.

    So its the saints row collectors edition and Battlefield Steelbook edition in this offer then? not the normal editions?

    That guy is a notorious liar who has been sitebanned several times. It's all in the spelling ;) He used to be xbox36016 and golfguy and got banned both times and has been known to post fake bargain alerts. He was also lying about the Lost game, they won't take it* so I hope anyone doesn't buy it on his advice.

    *I tried this morning with my copy. They have a good range of games available for €5 but most aren't the best.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 493 ✭✭thealltimelow

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 885 ✭✭✭kendragon

    does anyone think they will take fantastic 4 rise of the sliver surfer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 330 ✭✭Dexterm99


    Will they accept a trade in for a different console game? For example, I have some PS3 titles, can I exchange these for XBOX360 games?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 330 ✭✭Dexterm99


    Just rang them. Sadly it has to be the same format :-(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste


    So yeah, went up to get Mass Effect and Frontlines, and tried PGR 3 and TR: L, but he said theyre not allowed?! PGR3 is one of the games you can get for the €5 so I presumed it would be ok, and people here said TR:L is accepted. Whats up? Is he bull****ting me?

    Definately is about Tomb Raider: Legend. I traded mine in on Sunday in Gamestop in the Pavilions, Swords. Tell your branch to ring for confirmation if necessary.
    I'm not at home right now but I will try dig out the receipt if you think it will help?
