    Gamestop are doing a deal where you can trade in a game and get Bioshock 2 for €5. I went in and inquired about this deal. After going through the list of Xbox games I had, I found than the only two game I own that fit the criteria for the deal are Fallout 3 GOTY and The Orange Box. There is no way I am parting with Fallout 3, yet The Orange Box is five very good game. Seen as Bioshock and Half-Life are in the same genre, what do yee recomend?

    I'd do it how often do you play the orange box? That'll give you your answer.

    Check the HUGE thread in bargain alerts... Should let you know where you can pick up a dirt cheap game to trade with.
    I'd hang onto both of them personally

    If your going to trade anything in gio to xtravision. Was trading in mw2 and battlefield a while back, got offered around 40 in both smiths and gamestop,ended up getting nearly 70 in xtravision. so i reckon if you traded in any of the games you want to get rid of you'll probably get a better deal than getting rid of 2 really good games that have serious replay factors.

    Yer man in the shop said it was any game they can sell on for €35 or so. He was quick to tell me that Pure, lego Batman or Mirrors edge would not be taken.

    I bought The Orange Box for €15 so in total I'd be getting Bioshock 2 for €20.

    I'd suggest doing the trade, then at a later stage just download Portal. Orange Box was well over talked IMO, I thought Portal was one of the most inventive games going but the other stuff on the package was a bit lack lustre. Maybe I just don't get half life but that's my 2c

    Ok I've come to my decision. I am going to trade Half life for Bioshock. I can hear Yahtzee screaming. Thanks for the advice all who posted.
