    Happened to be in town and noticed that gamestop have expended their current offer and you cna now get Bioshock 2, Dante's Inferno, Darksiders, Bayonetta, Dark Void and others for 5 euro when you trade in any game.

    Some conditions do apply, you can't cross trade titles and any sports titles must be the current year. Great value for some great games.

    Which shop in town was it? I was in the Henry st. shop a week or two ago looking to get rid of Fifa 09 and the games they had available were woeful.

    In Galway but I assume the offer is all over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Surely its not any game ? I assume its only super recent games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 66 ✭✭Eamo87


    This works with most games. Sure I traded perfect dark zero and it worked:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,317 ✭✭✭CombatCow

    Just posted what I was told by a member of staff. Could easily be a case of the store accepting older titles but I know that when I tried to trade in Fifa 07 awhile back they wouldn't take it. They did however take Lost the Game which is available for under a fiver in most places


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭bkrangle


    got bioshock 2 (360) and dantes inferno (PS3) by trading in perfect dark zero (360) and the darkness (PS3), fantastic offer.

    Wanted to get darksiders as well but they were out of stock in stephen's green, might try another store if the offer continues.......can't see how they can make any money from it

    If I traded in too human I wonder could I get it? I never had the time or interest to finish playing it, it's practically brand new..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 482 ✭✭HHH


    Is the offer still open?
    Any idea if any gamestops in limerick have the offer?
    I might swing down to the crescent this afternoon if it is.


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


    Ya the offer is still on..I'm picking up another copy of Bioshock today myself and trading it in in HMV for 30 :D


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


    not like Gamestop to be this generous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 482 ✭✭HHH


    Would any of these games be accepted?
    Hitman Blood Money xbox 360
    Need for Speed Most Wanted xbox 360
    Fifa 09 PS3 (old sports game i know but muppetkiller seems to have gotten away with it)
    Crackdown Xbox 360


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,183 ✭✭✭Quigs Snr


    Most of them yes, not sure about Fifa. I traded Lost, Kameo, Perfect Dark, Bejing 08 and Forza 2 against Bioshock2, Dante's Inferno, Darksiders, Guitar Hero Van Halen and Bayonetta.

    They should be alright, I was up there earlier just to check that they had the deal and i asked about FIFA09 and they said that it was grand, the others should be ok too, When I go up later I am bringing up

    FIFA 09
    Fallout 3
    Kane And Lynch
    Halo 3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,563 ✭✭✭corcaigh07

    I traded in Fifa 09 without any issues. I think all 09 sports titles are fine. 08 will work for the NHL's and maybe Madden Titles as they still have a high re-sell price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,173 ✭✭✭cableguy.ie


    Brought down dark Sector and darkness for ps3
    Brought Down Fracture and Battlefantisa for xbox 360

    Got Bayonetta and Darksiders ps3

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,173 ✭✭✭cableguy.ie


    Just to avail of this offer Fracture for the xbox 360 is only 5.99 in Hmv at the moment. So you could buy this and then trade it at gamestop and waheeeyyy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭WarZoneBrother


    Picked up Bioshock 2 and Dantes Inferno for 10euro trading in Red Faction and Rockband...Any game is accepted as long as it aint a sports game earlier than 09...So Fifa 09 should be accepted...He said it will be on for long time changing games every so often


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 168 ✭✭Demios


    So let me get this straight... The deal is only open to the following:

    Darksiders
    Dante's Inferno
    Bayonetta
    Bioshock 2

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi

    And also seen Vancouver 2010 on PS3...Might be buying cheap games tomorrow and get new games then trade in in GAME and get God of War 3 on Friday...So glad I did not pay the 50euro in GAME when buying FF13 the employee said to me not to get Bioshock it may come down in price and you will be busy with FF 13 (rightly so)...

    Also I only know that Cavan is doing it for sure...And does not apply to getting FF 13 for 5euro

    Thats the list.

    I now own them all. Traded in some rediculously old games and got em all for a fiver each.

    The offer is running till they are out of stock afaik. You can trade in any game except sports titles older than 08 (they will take 09 and 10).

    I live about 5 min walk from Gamestop.

    Gonna give it a go in Dublin on Thursday, will be down for college. Actually gonna go up and try in Gamestop here this evening, didn't want to push too much with questions because they greatly scaled back two offers before once I'd had my way with it. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,135 ✭✭✭fifth


    I've a feeling I'm gonna miss out on this - didn';t see any adverts for this in my local GS store yesterday lunchtime anyway.

    I'd be suprised, Douglas manager is on the ball. Of course it could be an offer pushed down from head office, but I doubt it since someone mentioned it not in his local store.

    You'd have better luck in Patrick street I'd say, new shop and new workers :P

    Of course I'm speculating, better to check yourself, anyone finds it in Cork let us know!

    Might venture down to Blackpool tomorrow unless someone reports back that the offer is not on there. There is also a Gamestop in Wilton, that might be worth a look. And gamestop in Midleton which would be worth travelling to if the offer is on. I would say its definitely a mistake, they must be making a huge loss on this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    Anyone tried Bray yet? I dont have high hopes tbh...

    I was just in there and they have the offer. They must have lied or not known when you rang them. Though, they didnt have Darksiders and Bayonetta (:() in the offer, they said I should call in near the end of the week to see if Bayonetta is added. They had a special edition of Dantes inferno on both platforms, which I got for a fiver. I traded in Tomb rader legend hahah. THey also had Bioshock 2 (xbox and ps3) for a fiver and Dark void (both platforms) for a fiver.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,346 ✭✭✭Lamposts


    Yeah if someone could tell me if the gamestop on patrick street, blackpool & douglas are doing it then that would be swell. thanks guys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 407 ✭✭SeanyMc22


    Just availed of this in the Omni.
    Pes 2009-Bioshock 2

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,211 ✭✭✭Royale with Cheese


    Ha, what a quality offer. Got Bioshock 2 for €5 and Fifa 09. The trade in value of Fifa came up as €1.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,135 ✭✭✭fifth


    Just got Bioshock 2 by trading in Too Human (valued at €3.50).

    Guy behind the counter said it's cos they're overstocked on Bioshock 2, Bayonetta and Dantes Inferno.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,537 ✭✭✭SickBoy
