    I got Darksiders, Dante's Inferno, Timeshift and Star Wars Force Unleashed in the €5 and €2 deals :D Where's the best trade-in value for Darksiders and Dante's? [Xbox]

    Brought a load o my games, last week down, wanted to get Bioshock 2, only one game would they accept for the 5euro deal, my Classic Edition of Dead Rising, made my day!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,636 ✭✭✭jenno86


    The new deal in Xtra Vision is 2 games for 30 or 2 games for 50. There are several titles in each deal. I am waiting to get the list of games. I will post as soon as I have.

    Its not great to be honest, I've been pricing them up all day and nothing stands out really.

    You can use it in the €2 offer though.

    I'm totally confused anyway.......
    Uncharted 1 is worth €15 on trade in (!!!!!!!!), si I put it against CoD WaW, and Batman AA is worth €17(?????) so I put that against Bioshock 2.

    Deal with them is still the same - Have to be able to sell for €15.00 to give you the game for €5, have to be able to sell for €9.99 to get the game for €2.00.

    In Midleton they had loads left for XBox, not so much for PS3, 2 copies of Dante's, 1 copy of Vancouver 2010, 2 copies of Bioshock. Star Wars has now gone to the €2 games.......

    just traded in HAWX and presented a crispy 5 euro note for Dante's Inferno in Gamestop Charlestown. It's the Death Edition, i think that means i get fancy packaging and some sort of DVD.

    .....or should i jut have traded Hawx in against GOWIII and stumped up the extra wonga?

    I might have made the wrong decision :eek:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79 ✭✭electronic


    sorry forgot to say the deals in xtravision werent all that great to be honest.had two shelves with games 2 for 30 and 2 for 50.had a look but wasnt interested in any of them really.id say in depends on the store but the selection is skerries wasnt great.games like prince of persia wipeouthd simpsons game and others.prototype.cant remember many coz they werent all that appealing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,586 ✭✭✭Healium


    Don't know if anyone here is actually playing games or just selling them on, but.... Dante's Inferno and Darksiders are practically the same game :( Gonna go trade them in, because I think they're both rubbish! Has anyone not qualified for the €5 offer, taken a €2 game, and used that? Are the €2 ones worth €15 trade in?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 767 ✭✭✭HxGH


    I don't have a high enough value game (I want to trade in) to do this offer :(

    Waaaaaaah :(

    I thought dantes was pretty good until about 2/3 way through and I'm enjoying
    darksiders but takes a couple of hours to get going

    Picked up Bioshock in Ballincollig for a fiver trading Rock Band for it. I also had Resistance 2, Tiger Woods 09, Stranglehold and Prince of Persia, they wouldn't take any of the rest of them for the 5euro offer. Went to Gamestop in Wilton later and picked up bayonetta there for 5 euro with Stranglehold. Gonna try Blackpool tomorrow and see can I get rid of anymore of them :D

    They only offered me 70c credit or €2 cash for Strangehold on the 360! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 93 ✭✭eamonntheviking


    Yeah I was stunned when they took it, I bought it for 6 euro new so wasn't expecting much! I think your man behind the counter was quite surprised when it came up on the system as being eligible!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 605 ✭✭✭Lmao_Man


    Can anyone tell me if HMV's are open this Friday ?

    Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,197 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    shadowrun worked for me about two weeks ago, doubt it would work now though. fairly worthless game in fairness, wouldnt sell for more than a fiver id say!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,853 ✭✭✭Fnz


    The selling value on titles probably depends on the number of copies they currently have in stock. That' may be why a title is accepted in one branch but rejected elsewhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    HMV are open on Friday,most shops are but they're all closing at 6pm,no one is open on Sunday,xtravision maybe open,but no HMV or Smyths or Gamestop.
