Going to trade in Medal of Honor against this...any ideas which store might give me the best value?

In the GameStop catalog there is a picture of a few games and it says if you trade it in towards another new release game you get it for 15 euro and medal of honor was in that picture.

Tesco in Dub 14 and 24(friend asked there earlier) have both said the game is coming out on the 11th in all Tesco branches :rolleyes: and while yer wan behind the till was fairly unsure about the entire situation, she thinks the game will be 55 euro.

I really hope that's not the case, they had MW2 on release last year so it may just be that they looked at the American release date and got confused, still, better if I can get this confirmed before Monday so I don't waste a journey up there to get it...

I doubht Tesco will be on the ball with this one.

Harvey Norman looks like the best bet.

Tesco in Dundrum had it on release date last year. I had reserved a copy in 'Game' the Que was out to the front door of the shopping center. I got tired of waiting at midnight (nearly an hour!!!) and walked straight into Tesco they had two boxs full of the game.

Tesco are one of the larges retail companies in Ireland you can bet you ass they will be on the ball with this and have plenty of copies.

Dunno if its been mentioned here yet, but gamestop are giving 25% extra credit on games when you trade them in against Black Ops.

I just traded in Medal Of Honor in GameStop and got 35 euro so I only have to pay 20 euro, not too bad. Wasn't pushed about this game at first as MW2 was a big disappointment in my eyes but I'm getting a bit excited about it now. College is going to suffer though!

^ i was just in Game with my copy of Medal of Honor and Red Dead Redemption, 32euro credit or 25euro cash.

needless to say i walked out with the games still in my hand. crazy!

i rang tescos today and am waiting on a call back from a rep, but im not holding my breath. They dont seem to want to let anyone know any info on their pricing,including staff.

it is not only certain games?

I saw the sign in gamestop last weeknend
Im planning on trading in Halo Reach.
xtravison currently offering me 30 quid tradein,
In Gamestop offereing 24 euro!
24 euro + 6 euro (25%) = 30 euro!

Coidence or do game stop drop thier tradein prices to make it seem
like they are offering more when in reality its the same trade in they're offering as every where else?

Joeface

Pre-ordered of Amazon for PC £35 / €39.99 , it appears to included free shipping .

I'm happy with that .

Hi guys,I've posted this on playstation forum too, just a quick question, due to mis-communication/misunderstanding and stupidity, (not on my behalf), it appears that i don't have a copy of black ops reserved!!!!

Does anyone know of any stores that sell games on a first come first served basis or does every store take a reservation/waiting list type approach?

I'm looking for a store in Dundalk, Drogheda or Dublin.

Tesco - walk in and buy - be early though !
Most other retail outlets will have "off the shelf copies" aswell though I'd say.
Why not prebook it today ?

AnneFrank

lots of stores will have them on the day,i havent pre booked either

Nuri Sahin

Didn't slip my mind I swear but I was in Xtra Vision earlier, the one where their head offices are near to in D24. Anyway your man behind the desk said he didn't know what the price would be on the game. Suffice to say I was a tad puzzled.

oh ok, still begers the question, do they drop the inital tradein price to make up the 25% difference.

Also whats the advantage of pre booking? beside the obvious fact of gaurentteing getting a game on lauch day. Is there any extras being offered by any places that are only avaialble if you pre-book?

senordingdong

After giving it more thought, I'm very anoyed about how the money making scam that is the DLC.

Traded in Trade of Honor last week in game and they gave €30 store credit for TOH , plus 25% price match against gamestops offer for a Black Ops pre-order .

So I got €37.50 for my trade in .

The offer you got was crazy , no wonder you walked away from it.


Edit : just back from game and the trade in value for MOH is €30 , trade in value for RDR is €18 . so with the extra 25% you should have got €60 store credit.

youllneverknow

Gamestop in d11 in charlestown are selling it for 50

FutureGuy

HMV in the Crecent Limerick will have it for 47.

Right, so I want to trade in Medal of Honour and buy BO.

Who is offering the best trade-in deal - Gamestop, Xtravision or Game?

Do I need to to trade it in before BO is released to get the 25% extra from either Gamestop or Game?

What will my net spend be assuming BO is around the €55 mark?

Yes

If the game is priced at €55 I would have to pay €17:50 , so depending on what you get for your trade in it will be around the €20 mark.

Looks like it's between Tesco and HMV for me now.
