Gamestop r sooo cheeky.

[Sly]

So today i was in town and gamestop were doing ANY 2 360 GAMES + £5 for ANY Xbox 360 game.

So thought oh sick ill go home and get spiderman 3 and gears of war.
Spiderman 3 had never been opened it was still seeled n everything.
And gears of war was in tip top condition.

So i get there and am like hiya i wanna trade these 2 games +£5 for bioshock pls.

And the girl was like kk but they gotta add up to £28 or more for you to get that deal and i was like well thats fine am shure they will cos like to buy em new would cost £60+

And she's like sorry they only add up to £27.

And i was like omg how ?????

And she was like well its £23 for spiderman 3 and £4 for gears of war.

And i was like :O Skum

Then i said can i just give u £6 instead of 5 then.

And she was like NO.

You have gotta be kidding...

Game are a bit like that too.

[Fez]

I go to Gamestation, they do the best

[Sly]

This guy braught in an xbox 360 elite with like 30 games and only got £343.

[viperkyle1]

Terrible, Its madness.

I tried to give in my san andreas when it was brand new, and grand turismo 3. And they offered me £8 for them both. *** THEY ARE GOOD GAMES.

[Sly]

I remember when gamestation first opened.

I'd bring back about 10 games thinkin i'd get about 150 and end up with like 200.
It was great.
Used to go back every week and get good deals.
But that was with the ps2.
Since the 360 came out it seems all they do is rip me off.
They offered me like £28 for 4 xbox360 games so now i don't go there anymore cos they get on my nerves.

[PaulMacC]

I would actually tell her to f off.

[jesus]

ud get more on ebay

[adidas™]

lol thats a wounder.

[CJW93]

Trade ins are a joke now. I was going to trade in Gow still sealed up intouched still in the see through plastic thing and they offerd £15 I was like :o!
So my dad compinaed This was 2 months after the release of Gow

[.Nickie]

I think gamestations gotta be the best. its where i go trade in my wii and ds games ;]
they do the best deals on em too

[Mrak-Face]

Why would you want to give up Gears?

[5,5]

Yeah they tried to rip me off too by offering me $25.04 USD for like 6 games including a brand new NCAA Football 08 which goes for $40-$50 USD. Lol.

[Minstrels]

That's harsh, I would have made her accept the £6 :rolleyes:

[Technologic]

You should've said. "**** you, im going to Game"

[Axel]

Even pre owned 360 games should be like at least £15?

[Sly]

They was selling crackdown for a tenner pre owned and i payed 30 quid for that a couple of months back they probably won't even give me a quid for it now lol.

[Marky.]

they only offered you 4£ for gears of war?!

[Naruto!]

Why people bother to attempt to trade in their games I don't know. Game shops will ALWAYS rip you off, better off selling on Ebay. I can understand it if was a promotional offer that you've seen but..

[Sly]

Well they never used to they used to be dead good.

[Agent 47]

The only reason you're getting so little is because the amount of people trading in that item is so high.

I traded GoW in a month after it came out, I got £30, but if you trade it in now, you'll get pennies because so many people have traded it in.

[Lycan]

Sadly Gamestation are now owned by 'Game' .. meaning all there good deals are pretty much gone alone with a large percentage of preowned deals...

Idiots.


i bet you it was £28, damn store ***. do any for a kick

GAME haven't changed anything about Gamestation, they only bought it to get rid of the competition and gain more profits

... gain more profits... not the smartest kid are you?



Game remodeled it to shrink the second hand pc and playstation X section of the store and to push the consoles (mainly the 360 and wii)

[today]

Tbh i sell my games on play.com (H) or ebay :]

My game station hasn't changed at all, they still do the same offers, they haven't shrunk in the way of PC or PSX, my gamestation has all the pre-owned games it was selling while blockbuster owned it, Gamestation hasn't changed at all, if you have any proof that they've "remodeled" it then post it here by all means, unless you have proof that they're changing how all the game stations in the UK are then I'm gonna stand by what I said, they're gaining more money because more people trade games in at Gamestation than GAME because they get more money, that means more pre-owned games to sell, they sell those pre-owned games for more than they paid, in the long run it's all to gain money, that's what business is about, they're not gonna buy a completely different store just to get rid of second hand sections :rolleyes:

Im the same, my Gamestation is still the same nothing has changed (:

[GommeInc]

GAME own Gamestation? I wouldn't of known... They seem different to me.

[Neil]

They are different in ways, Gamestation is much better for buying and selling pre-owned games whereas GAME is better for new games and consoles, but obviously you can get pre-owned in both like you can get new in both
But that's it really
