Yeah, I've been doing the math for awhile now. I'd get about nine dollars less at Best Buy if I managed to get that 30% bonus at Gamestop. Thinking I'll throw a few more games I can bare to part with onto the list and see how much that gives me on both sides. I also have a PS2 and PS3 that I don't use to sell just in case.

Btdubbs, thanks for spending the time to find all that.

Good Luck

I want to sell my games BUT thing is Id want to do it at gamestop, but I only have a few 360 games that I don't want to part with yet and the rest would get me pennies to the dollar, the rest of my games are like 2 PS3 games and rest is last gen stuff that they don't take anymore

I have a friend that trades in his games a lot, and he usually goes to http://www.entertainmart.com/. It's probably not very likely that they'd have one near you, but if there is, apparently they pay really good for used stuff.

If you pre-order any game at Best Buy (5$) when you trade in the games, they will give you an extra 40% trade in credit. Go to http://www.bestbuytradein.com/ and click video games, then on the upper right click on in store promotions.

I've never pre-ordered before. I thought you had to pay whatever the game was worth plus $5 up front; then you pick it up on release date. Like I said, I'm flat broke AtM. Maybe I would be able to weasel five bucks out of one of my friends but definitely not sixty-five.

Huh? :huh:
When you preorder a game, you just put at least 5 dollars down. That's the general minimum accepted amount for pre ordering. When the game comes out, you pay the rest of the cost minus the 5 dollars. So if you put 5 bucks down 3 months before Skyrim comes out, you pay 55 on 11-11-11 when you pick it up.

Oh, ok then. Like I said, I've never pre-ordered a game before.

Edit: Alright, here's what I got...

Does the above list represent what I would get from Best Buy? I'm confused about...


Credit as in paying you an extra 40% to the price of your games? Sorry if I seem like I'm tugging at the forum's pants here; I just want to be absolutely sure of what I'm doing when it comes to these kinds of things. The closest Best Buy from here is one town over. That's a lot of gas money if I have to make two trips.

If you have a PS3, why don't you just buy Skyrim for it? Why go through all the trouble of repairing your Xbox? :huh:

I didnt read all the posts but I know at Game Stop you get 30% extra right now if you trade games in for preorders. I had Black Ops, MW2, Dragon Age 1&2, and some Air Assault game and got over 70 dollars credit torwards my preorders. You should get quite a bit more for all the games that you have.

I bought it about three years ago from a friend but never even plugged it in. Not even sure if it works still.


I'd rather play Skyrim on an Xbox controller and I have to get it fixed sooner or later anyway.


Yeah, it came out to around eighty-nine dollars. I need one-hundred-sixty so I put more games on my list and looked up the prices for each individual one for both Best Buy and Gamestop. Best Buy offers $20 more so that's where I'm going to sell them.
