Who gives the best trade in's for old PS3 games?

Victor_M · 2009-07-23 08:02:19

I'm looking to get a set of Dual shocks and was thinking I may as well offload some of the games at home that I don't play any more, where is the best place to trade in games for store credit? Alternatively, where would be the cheapest place to buy Sony Dual shocks either bricks and mortar or online? Thanks.

You could try selling them directly to ppl on adverts.ie?

You should get more €€€€ compared to what the likes of Xtravision, gamestop etc will give you.

Got instore credit in gamestop for the following:

Infamous SE €30
Motorstorm Pacific rift €11
Ghostbusters €27

Think Xtravision generally have the best trade in value.

Generally i have found xtravisionare the best gamestop are by far the worst in both trade in value and rice on new games.

When i was buying infamous i went to gamestop and they where giving me 39 for fable 2 and wolverine and charging 55 for infamous. went 2 doors down to xtravision they gave me 50 for the two games and infamous was only 49.99 in there.

Game, Gamestop and Smyths are the worst imo

Got €8 for the Darkness a week after I bought it for €30 in Gamestop, I was sickened to say the least.

Xtravision are definitely the best as far as Im concerned

Got €30 for Far Cry 2 after 2 weeks of its release

Saw a poster outside Gamestop yesterday that said they'd give you a PS3 game for €5 when you traded one in. Anyone know what games are included?

Has anyone ever tried to trade in games with the "Not To Be Sold Separately" written on the back?
I have Gran turismo prologue that was in a bundle and warhawk from the headset bundle . But just wondering if they take these on trade in?

When the PSP first came out, you could send away for a free gift, and one of them was SpiderMan 2 on UMD, with "Not for Resale" on the cover. I've seen quite a few of these for sale second-hand in GameStop, so it can't hurt to try

No harm trying, I know Smyths have taken them in the past even though they're not suppose to.

Xtravision has always been best for trade ins. I traded KZ2 for 20 and infamous for 30 last week. They were selling infamous secondhand for 40. Good value and hardly taking the mick with the markup. I use a gift card from them to put my trade value on that until somthing decent comes up to buy.
