    Sweet.

    Is this in any particular Gamestop or do they all do the same deals?

    They all have em afaik, but the list of games you can trade in are relatively new.. Hope
    F1 2009 is on that, played the hell out of it already...

    Note that you can only trade in games from February 2009 onwards in this deal, and it's in every store, but avoid henry street, all their good games are taken =/

    Hm i could be wrong but i think thats the way the deal works, 2009 games onwards i mean. Could've sworn it states that on the sticker.

    Or could've been the sports titles not too sure now.

    if fallout is one of the accepted games and Fallout:GOTY is one of the games in the offer then yes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 407 ✭✭kaiser soza


    I haven't seen Fallout GOTY in any stores,not sure it is in the deal.

    i know what the offer says but I couldn't find any ps3 games I wanted in
    stephens green. Surely ps3/360 are worth similar monetart amounts?

    thanks for the heads up op. Im just back from gamestop myself and traded in gears of war 1 and need for speed pro street and got h.a.w.x and ufc 2009 in exchange. so i dont think it matters how old the games are. thanks again

    Just picked up aerosmith guitar hero for 2 quid. Traded in eternal sonata which I bought for 4e anyway :). Only a handful of songs I like but for that cheap you cannot go wrong.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    They had fifa 09 for 3.99 on the PS3 in GAME and that can be used in the deal :D
    I picked up Resistance 2 and Motorstorm Pacifc for 8.99 each .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,024 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    the games in this offer are terrible was in both henry street and clare hall a week ago and the only games left were animal crossing, singstar queen etc. Would have liked motorstorm 2 or halo wars but no such luck.
