High Trade-in Prices towards new releases at GAME
I know these 'deals' don't tend to get a lot of heat but I feel this is worth a mention.
I just traded in Pro Evo 2012 and Battleship for £21 each. I checked the on-line trade checker and it lists them both as £15.80, however when I went in to store I was told that there is an extra 30% on trade-ins towards new releases so they were both worth £21.
They are both on the list of "selected titles" for the 99p deal found here - http://www.game.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/HubArticleView?hubId=183476&articleId=183477&catalogId=10201&langId=44&storeId=10151
But this actually works out as a better deal and you don't have to mess around ordering on-line.
Pro Evo can be picked up for around £10 now so getting £21 trade on it is a fantastic deal.

Jump to unread Post a CommentIf so then you are still getting ripped off despite the 30% extra. Im surprised Game still havent learnt even though they died once.
Bought 6 copies of Coraline 3D for £3.95 each, traded for £7 each at CEX.
Bought 2 copies of Future Soldier for £20 each (£2 credit change)
Traded in Ghost Recon Future Soldier yesterday (x2) for £24.50 each at Gamestation.
Got Rocksmith for £5.99 instead of £54.99
+ (6x£3.95) = £29.69
Well chuffed.
Best price at the moment is £47.99 at Amazon.
May be worth keeping an eye open for any of the games listed to trade in going down :)

The price of the games was never Game's problem. It was that they had 4 stores in cities within metres of each other.
I know a lot of people that would pay 1 or 2 extra pounds for the guarantee of having it in their hands on launch day.
Their trade in offers help too, having traded in 3 games I managed to pick up Borderlands 2, the guide book and the season pass for a little shy of £12. That was a figure I was very happy with.
I have to agree, ive never had a issue with games trade prices. They pretty much were the same as everyone else. The worst retailer for trades is now blockbuster

No, this works out better than that deal, no buying on-line is needed. I only put that link as it would appear those are the games that will be worth a decent amount,
just the games listed as per format
wow. thats a lot of fannying around.
