    In my experience, you get more from Game, then Gamestop, and then Xtra Vision.

    Thanks man, didn't realize Game took in games! 'Fraid I don't live near any of their stores thou! :(

    All these shops have a lot of random prices. some better than others depending on the game and some don't make sense so the only thing you can do is ring around your local stores and see who offers you the most.

    Either that or get onto www.gamesnash.ie who have really good offers for trade ins and even pay your postage for sending them the game(s)

    For trading in newer games I rather xtravision. Normally for a recent game I would get about 40.

    try Smyths and HMV also, Gamestop offered me less than €20 trade for Harry Potter on Xbox, Smiths gave me €32.

    I saw gamestop have something in their windows saying theyll beat any trade in price by €2. Im sure they find some way to never actually to it tho

    If your close to a HMV then trade there for 2 reasons.

    1. They offer great trade in value, whenever i compare them with Gamestop and Game, they always give me back at least 1.5 times what the others offered.

    2. They have the best prices for new games so you can put your credit to use.


    I always use them anyway, got 37 euro for deus ex and 17.50 for Zelda:Twilight princess.

    My advice is keep your games and not take the pittance the high street stores will offer, they will be sold then as used for fiver less then new price

    I went see what would get for trading in goldeneye for wii verly nee, was offered fiver

    Gamestop have an offer where you can trade in 3 games from a select list of 500 games, and you get a new release for €3.

    The list is up here: http://www.gamestop.ie/500titlestradein

    I used it a few months ago to get LA Noire. Traded in GTA4, COD4 & Splinter Cell Conviction
