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


    I tried dead space in Blanch today they said it was only worth 14.99 so misses out on the offer. They would not take the darkness either. they are well strict in there i can tell ya. For all of my games that I had only 1 worked.

    could you not have used them in the 2e offer and then went back and traded them in again. I did this with kameo and got red faction:guerilla which I then traded back in for bioshock 2 ::)

    I tried trading Bioshock 2 and GH:VH into the HMV on Patricks St today, would only get 26 for Bioshock afaik and they wouldn't take GH cos they said they had too many copies due to people buying them in GS for cheap and trading them in there!:D

    It was only a matter of time, remember the last time a similar offer was done in GS, they ended up the only store with copies of Bully.

    Try a different one, the lad in the Square shop told me it was €14.99 or more. Not €15 or more.

    yep they sound like they dont want the hassle tbh. im looking forward to saturday, i got bioshock and bayonetta to get rid of for credit somewhere and will try and get rid of more games in GS Blackpool and maybe Wilton and Douglas too. hopefully at least one of those are not aware of the 14.99 trade-in requirement.

    I was told today that this deal is expected to last the next two weeks, though no new games will be added to the offer.

    GOW3 is 5 euro when you trade in heavy rain.

    Tried twice today:

    Prices you can get for today are:
    HMV(Swords):
    Dante's Inferno: 23 Credit, 18 Cash (the didn't want to take Death Edition)
    Van Halen: 26 Credit, 21 Cash
    Bioshock2: 24 TradeIn, 20 Cash

    Xtravision(Swords):
    Dante's Inferno: 30 credit, 20 cash
    Van Halen: 28 credit, 18 cash
    Bioshock2: 30 credit, 20 cash

    Game Stop (Swords and Clare Hall) require that traded game is min 15E used price on the shelf, they don't accept games at 14.99.

    HMV asked me for 2 forms of ID and scanned both of them when I got there second time.

    Guy at Xtravision made a comment that they're getting a lot of the games that are sealed so they're probably stolen or something.

    They're not actually..most of the Bioshocks and Dantes are on the main PS3 /XBOX racks now and not in that section where the deal was on previously.

    Douglas were aware of the limit a couple of weeks ago, so no point in trying to get rid of games there:)

    Not too shabby.. went into the Sligo store this morning with a load of games and found most of them were included in the €5 deal (even 'Dark Sector' for the Xbox 360 which I bought for a fiver from Asda a year ago).

    But the best thing was I got 3 games in a €22 Mystery IBOOD box (along with a DVD player etc) - the 3 games were Dark Sector, Smackdown Vs Raw 2007 and Stranglehold all for the 360. I already had Dark Sector (for the 360) and Stranglehold (for the PS3). They wouldn't accept Smackdown Vs Raw (they're accept sports games older than 2009 AFAIK) but I used Dark Sector to get Bioshock 2 for a €5 and used the €2 cash (or 70c credit?! :eek) for Stranglehold to get it for €3! :D

    There was plenty of decent titles for the PS3 but the 360 titles were a bit hit and miss (The Golden Compass? Would ya ever shag off?! :pac:).

    I only had the one PS3 game - so I traded in Tiger Woods 09 to get Borderlands for the PS3 for a €5. Although they also had Ghostbusters so I was torn.

    I also traded in Halo 3, Mass Effect and Devil May Cry 4 and got Halo Wars, Fuel and PGR4 for the 360 for €2 each.

    Not a bad day overall!

    IBOOD.com sold a mystery box for €10 (ex. €12.50 shipping) and one for €50 (ex. €12.50 shipping) that you can order but the catch is you have no idea what you'll get.

    People were generally very happy with that they got (I got an High Def upscaling DVD / Media Player, 2 remote control cars, 2 shampoos, woman's body lotion, USB fish tank, a mini optical mouse and 3 XBOX 360 games for my €22.50).

    You can see box contents towards the end of this thread.

    i built up 120 credit in GAME Patricks Street today!
    3xBioshock 2=75 euro
    1xDantes=25 euro
    1xBayonetta=20 euro

    also picked up Fuel in the 2 euro offer, traded in the club which is practically a worthless game now.

    whats the conditions of the 2 euro offer? do the trade in games need to be of a certain value also?

    not entirely sure but they are far less fussy about the games taken for the 2 euro offer. I could have used Virtua fighter 5 or table tennis as well but no other 2 euro games appealed to me.
