    Depends, I remember I tried to trade in FIFA13 for FIFA14, I was offered a Euro
    F12012 went in for 12 Euro I think in exchange for F12013

    Not the best place to trade in consoles or games ,try Smyths or try HMV,someone on a different thread said the new HMV stores were a good place for trade ins.

    Gamestop are ridicolous for trade in prices, I asked about the trade in value of the latest Need for Speed on PS3 and was told that it was €14. I asked what the price of a second hand copy was and I was shocked when they told me it was €55. I'd sooner give the game away than I would trade it in there, which is exactly what I did.

    THESE guys have stores in a couple parts of the country and have pretty good rates. Especially handy because you can check on their website without going in store.

    I got €31 cash last week for GTA V and €11 for Dj Hero, game & decks but still a very good price for such an old game!

    Yeah I was the same with FIFA, might even have been .50cent I got for it. GameStop do give you 20 or 25% (not sure which) extra on trade ins if you prebook something else with them.
    I've given a few games to my local charity shop instead of giving them to GS and getting next to nothing on a trade in.

    No, they can't.
    Some PS3 games can be upgraded to PS4 versions.
