    Ohh right..Well I also had games to value of 1.50 etc which traded in...Wonder which would not be fit to get it then :confused:..Im sure basquille's games would work then as they are alright games compared to ones I traded :p

    1.50...I'd say you just got one of the more agreeable(or naive :P) shops so!
    Really seems to be hit and miss, guess everything is like that when you ad the human factor!

    I know the manager of the Sligo Gamestop so I'll pop him a message on Facebook.

    Just would rather confirm before going in! ;)

    the one I was in today was a bit of a pain, there were some I had they were selling for 14.99 that they wouldnt take

    mercs 2 & tiger 09 on ps3
    deep space on 360


    but I did trade in
    assassins creed for dantes inferno (360)
    skate & grid for bioshock 2 & GH Van Halen (ps3)


    can't complain too much about them refusing some games tho, it is still just about the best offer any bricks and mortar shop has ever done

    Was in gamestop in Galway today and they had about a million copies of Fifa 09 preowned, might not accept it anymore.

    They said the same today in gamestop, one of the chaps said it has to have a retail of 14.99 or more and the other chap said "actually i think its 15.00" :rolleyes:

    Can anyone tell me if Gamestop are selling their used games at lower prices now since that they just got a **** load in from this offer?

    Such as prices like 5-10 euro?


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


    Doesn't look like it Maverick...

    Just because the game doesn't reach their value of 15 , there are a good few games on offer for 2 euro + a trade in.
    I picked up the new Bionic Commando for 2 euro after trading in Turning point (pure poo) :D

    Xtravision told me I'd get 30 store credit or 20 cash for Bioshock 2....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,853 ✭✭✭Beekay


    Traded in COD: WAW and GT5 Prologue for 2 copies of Bioshock.
    kept one copy, traded in the other for Battlefield BC2 in HMV.

    Thinking of going in again with The Orange Box and gettin another Bioshock to get some HMV store credit.

    Anybody any idea how long this will be going for?

    They didn't take my Viking in Blackpool. Took Star Wars & Hawx though. Got 2 bioshocks for it. The girl asked the manager was it ok to give me 2 bioshocks... Yeah, pace is the trick and to all the destruction in man.

    They're accepting each of the 3 games in separately?

    I know they have a multible copy rule (in one transaction) but go in seperate days,use a different staff member or different shops if they insist on applying it.

    I meant was them 3 games worth a trade-in value of €15 in Gamestop?
