    Wait is it the trade in value that's what's looked at or the selling price in Gamestop?

    yeah, if they have it on the shelves for 15 or more. some of the games I
    had accepted for the 5 euro deal were worth 1 euro on the trade in receipt :eek:

    GH: Van Halen was the best value, 33 credit in hmv. XV giving 30 trade in for bioshock and dante, if you buy a cd for 5 they will put the rest on a gift card.

    Why did you buy a CD ? I've never had to buy anything to get the full trade in value on a gift card.

    What a great offer:D Went over to Gamestop, wrote down games worth over €14.99 and went over to Smyths to get 3 of the cheapest, worked out at €25 with that 3 for 2 deal. Over to Gamestop and traded them in with €15 and got Bioshock 2, Darksiders, Dantes Inferno (Deaths Edition).

    Trade in value of the 3 games I traded in would have been a mere €5.80.:D

    The Darkness, Tom Clancys End War, and Genji Days of the Blade.

    I know Tomb Raider Underworld, Need for Speed Undercover and Deadspace are all valid too.

    which one did you get Darksiders in? I went to all 3 in town yesterday and none of them had it...

    GH:Van Halen has a €33 trade in value in HMV, Bioshock is €29, I only got €23 for Dantes inferno though.

    as i said earlier in the thread, Xtravision are giving 30 euro trade in for dante and bioshock. you might be lucky in your
    local branch and get it all put on a gift card.

    i traded wii games trauma:second opinion and metroid prime 3 today for 2 GH: Van Halen. Wonder will hmv give the 33
    for wii version of GH:VH? :confused:

    15! G's, I stopped at 3, of course I did manage to get a full exhange on them somewhere else, so I did get 160 euro worth for them ;)

    Tbh it's too much hassle to fly from shop to shop, so I see why it's easier working in town, I'm only going to do it again if I see a game I actually want to buy on the offer :)
