They are giving you credit. Which goes back into the game over priced eco system.

Ie a vita and a game is £259, same deal is £219 in HMV. £40 more but people will go for it as its just store credit and free money type thinking.

On the books, it looks like the have alot more stock than before for minimum outlay.
Very much so, but id rather have a vita and a couple games sat gathering dust than a cupboard full of games doing the same

Yes i could possibly have fot hundred or so more if sold them, but thats if anyone wanted them and then you have postage and the like

This was just quick, easy and painless

Mid-tier? Hard to define but here are some I consider to be part of that group with what I got:

Super Streetfighter IV (standard edition) - £14.70
Marvel vs Capcom 3 - £13.40
Fight Night Champions - £15.40
NHL 2K10 - £8.40
Madden 10 - £5.90
LBP - £8.40
Singstar Queen - £8.40
Race Driver Grid - £8.40
Sonic Generations - £19.40 (I picked this up in HMV new for £12.99 before going into Game )

Not bad considering they were all gathering dust without a hope of being played. If I fancied any of them again, I am sure I can pick them up cheaper on forums etc in the future.

Lol loving all the pictures!! Making me all jealous. How many of you are just sitting there opening and closing the disc tray??

And yes, there are ways to make more money and some items are available cheaper elsewhere, but bottom line is you have a bunch of people who have swapped a few games which inevitably would still be sitting in cupboards for years to come...for items they want. I'm extremely happy with what I've got for my trade ins...I don't have time to waste listing 50+ games, pack them up and send them...plus selling them privately incurs additional costs (Paypal, eBay etc), time and effort.

I've upgraded my PS3 and Xbox for what I'd call junk.

It seems like they've boosted prices up beyond the £3 per title judging by those trade in prices. You'd typically be lucky to get more than £2 trade for Grid.

I'm not sure what is crazier. The offer or the people who have 40 games lying around at home

This has really encourage me to declutter and get rid of loads of stuff I've been hoarding for years while deluding myself that I might get time to play them one day.
Got £133 credit so far and trying to be ruthless so I can get up to £200 for a PS3 to replace my knackered 60gb fat.
I won't be able to play PS2 games anymore so they can all go, which got me thinking about my Dreamcast that's been in the loft for 5 years and the original Xbox that I've been hanging onto for the couple of games that aren't backwards compatible, so they're going to CEX and eBay.
So thanks, Game, your mental scheme will give me more room, a bit of cash and ultimately keep the missus happy

The way to look at it is, if you REALLY wanted to play these games, you can always pick them up very cheaply on forums or online. Having them sit around doing nothing is a waste.

Nice one cheers - gives me another week and weekend to clear some old games then! Also need to make a decision on some old bits like having Modern Warfare 1+2 on the shelves when they will never get played again, if its worth just trading them in and keeping just MW3 and Black Ops or not!

I was going to keep Mass Effect but for £15.40 I'll trade it, especially when they'll probably bring out a triple pack of all 3 games for a budget price in a year or so.

Think I'll get Witcher 2 on Tuesday with some of the credit, which they told me they are stocking.

I've just packed 42 games into a bag (a strong one ) by my calculations that should be £140 before whatever they'll give me for the actual games. Pity there's nothing I want to spend it on right now. When's the Wii U out?

I take it if we opt for store credit, Game's credit is now good and they're not likely to go under soon? Was just a bit concerned so I went fr 360 and ps3 points.
