I hate the corporation I work for so I don't care. GameStop is lowering their trade in values on consoles, I saw that the 360 price was lowered to i think $120 or $130. Which means if you get tired of your 360, don't sell it to us! Remember we take a percentage out if you want cash back! Yes I know, its very queer. Let the hate begin...

Seriously though, it's one of the things I hate about Gamestop. Stupid return policy.....

this is why you don't take your console to gamestop or any other game store to sell .. there like a pawn shop and there not gonna give you jack for it .. your better off selling it on ebay !

Well, about 6 months ago, I remember them offering $150. It's crazy. I would rather use eBay because it can gain steam and could sell at a better price than that. There is a site I saw on CNET, I forgot the name (i'll try to remember), but they offered about $190 w/o the original box, so they aren't too bad.

It's amazing, they still charge $100 for a USED PS2.

Whatever though, people will still trade their shit in, like the sheep they are.

I knew a girl that worked at my local gamestop and one day she just stopped coming in. The trade in policy isn't bad for games but the console thing is a travesty.

I've traded a few times with my cousin and his games when they have those "trade 4 or more and get "x" percent extra". It helped to get certain games like Guitar Hero or Rock Band that are a lot more than just the game itself when we didn't have the cash ahead of time.

I haven't been in a Gamestop since about a month after the 360 came out. I told them how there was no way I was going to buy a stickered, opened version of a "new game" for $60 when I could go to a plethora of other retailers and, for sometimes cheaper, be assured that I was the first person to play that game. Then they said that they focused on reselling used games, and I told them that I'd have to spend more money on water and soap trying to clean off the scratches than I would save by buying used. The man just kind of smiled politely and said "Sir, you're distracting the customers."

Careful Rincon, the last person i knew that slandered their work (another game shop franchise no less) on the net was caught and either fired or given a right bollocking...

Stupid ****ing Customers was the site, and will sorely be missed.

i like it in UK when you see a game brand new for £40 and second hand for £37. but if you took that game in and traded it in youd only get £15 for it

Difference between being good at video games and thinking you're good at them. :D Just like everyone thinks they're hardcore when they're as hardcore as granny porn. lewl.

Anyways, I tend to despise trading in anything to Gamestop/EB Games. They're a major rip off and I did once before. Doesn't work out too well. As for being a female, I have yet to meet a female at a video game store that knows anything. Then again, that holds true for males as well. Mmm oh well.
