Amazon only offering 25 cents for ‘Gears of War: Judgment’ trade-ins

Dillon SkiffingtonApril 21, 2013GearNewsXbox 3601 Comment

Earlier this week, we heard reports that Gears of War: Judgment undersold by a pretty large margin. With only 425,000 units sold in its opening month, compared to 2 million units for Gears of War 3Judgment hasn’t exactly been a roaring success.

Further confirmation now comes from Amazon which is only offering 25 cents for each copy of the game which is traded in. Even games such as Assassin’s Creed III which released late last year are still valued at over $10 a piece.

The game received generally favorable reviews with a 79 on Metacritic, with the main complaint being the lack of depth and alterations that really don’t improve the game, but rather change it for the sake of change.

If you look at the upcoming Call to Arms Map Pack, you already have an example as it adds three new maps, which is almost double the amount the game initially launched with.

It will be interesting to see how well the downloadable content fairs considering how low the online community already is.

This has to be a typo though but it is also on the website:

Hmm 25 Cent..

Epic really milked that franchise to the bitter end. How much trade in value has GOW:A ?

 

Edit: I see 36 Dollar, doesn't look good for Gears.

Guys don't trade it at amazon...I'll give you 60 cents for Gears.



lol and people complain about what gamestop gives you!

on ebay you would probably get 25-30 dollars or so...



What the heck? I've never seen anything like that. Even somewhat old games are usually like $5. There has to be some kind of reason. Could it really be that no one is keeping the game and the company Amazon partners with for trade-ins is flooded? Hard to believe. Why aren't there any used copies for sale? Something doesn't add up.

I'm thinking some kind of glitch with the automatic price setting software. Something isn't right, as there are usually dozens of used copies on offer.



Maybe this could be spun into a good thing.

"So many copies sold that they're having trouble keeping up with trade ins!"

More likely, just an error, since that is illogically low.

i think they would give you 25 or so and it's an error.

€dit: you probably meant used from amazon so forget this post.
