How to rip off EB Games/GameStop.

Buy 3 games for $50 take them to retail store that offers 3 games traded in for a new game. Take the new game and trade it in at EB Games and get $77 with your Edge card which gives extra 10% of trade in value. Repeat process over and over. Make lots of store credit. $27 profit made every time in store credit.

You can more or less do this anywhere in the world works for PS3, 360 and Wii games.



Sony's secret weapon is the Slimline PS3. Slimline PS3 with $299 price tag will give PS3 the winning edge over the 360 in the business end of the console wars. Killzone 3, Uncharted 3, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3, FFXIII, FF Versus XIII will  help push sales of the Slimline PS3 well into the future.

Too many heretics doubting the PS3 on these forums. What will you people do when the PS3 overtakes the XBox 360 in total sales? I hope you all finally acknowledge the truth. PS3 is God.

Except for the fact that Gamestop does not accept new games for trade-ins, at least they never do for me unless I spent a lot of time begging and offering extenuating circumstances (the one time I did this it was a legitimate reason with actual extenuating circumstances, not a dumbass "scam"). That or a receipt, which gets you a 1:1 value, as it's not used, it's an exchange. Plus where can you trade in any 3 random games for a new one? This is the worst scam I've ever heard of. Plus, even if it all worked, $60 + 10% is 66, not 77.

Um, what stores exactly have a "trade in 3 random games for a new game" policy?

And what Gamestop or EB would give you full $60 trade-in credit for a sealed game without a receipt?

Also, can I have some coffee ice cream?

I find it hard to believe that GameStop lets you trade in a new game for more than retail price. I mean, that's just ridiculous. Have you actually done this?

@ the complainer: GameStop has it coming, you have no idea how bad that place is ...

I give you people a golden piece of information. I do this every day during my lunch break from work. Thank god it is a short walking distance betweem the EB Games and the retailer I get the new games from to do my trade-ins.
So far over $2700 in store credits I have made from this trick. I stumbled across this idea on another internet forum site.

Gamestop is destroying the industry with there used games, so why not cause them harm with there own system?

It is for Australia would be different in US where games are lower priced due to US currency worth more. Games retail between $100 to $120 Australian dollars at EB Games for the new PS3 and XBox 360 games. Wii games are around $80 to $100 brand new.
Different pricing in different countries due to different currencies. But you can make profit from EB Games/Game Stop is what I am trying to illustrate.
