Awww man. I was hoping I could trade in one of my PS3s and my 360 towards a PS4 pre-order but they only trade in games and accessories.


You can trade your systems towards PS4.

Is there a limit to how much you can get in bonus credit towards a PS4 purchase?

So far it seems like if I trade in my 3DS XL toward the PS3 I will get $169.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

WHAT!? The fucker at my local Gamestop just told me over the phone... actually here's a quote. "Sorry we only take games that are recent and accessories towards a trade-in."

THAT FUCK!

I knew I should've waited til my boy was there.

Offtopic: Hey ben not sure if you can confirm, but will this be in effect soon at gs?

Yes, I received an email from Gamestop about the same deal for the Xbox One.

Just wondering, did you subscribe to the news thing from gs for the specific consoles? I just have the regular gs mails.

Nope. I'm only ordering games from their website usualy, that's all.

The subject was : "Breaking News: Xbox One changes"

And here is the link to the browser version

ahh, alright. I'll prob get it eventually too. Damn in Canada its 50% if you trade in consoles!

Really I've been watching Gamestop's site for a while trying to see what the hardware trade in is.  I was thinking of trading my 360 in for a PS4 pre-order.



Yeah Gamestop definitely had to have had something pretty big to do with MS changing their policies. The way I see it, Gamestop was seriously ready to lay the smack down on MS for those policies and MS knowing that lack of Gamestop support would seriously hamper One sales, they had a quick emergency meeting about it and decided to cave to Gamestop.

@the above people: Watch your quote trees!

If he told you they dont take console trade in hes either

A) Completly mistaken

Or

B) Maybe theres some wierd regional law where you are that prevent them from doing it.

I got $135 for x360 slim, $25 for kinect, a bunch of games that added up to over $400, after it was final and i signed the paper, an employee at gamestop comes out back, and says did you renew the edge membership i would get an extra %50 on trade in........ my freaking stomach sank.... it could have been $600 trade in. and id say %75 was used games i bought uber cheap on amazon. so keep that renewing perk in mind too.

They've been asking me to renew my membership for months! I think I'm going to get well over $400 with trade ins now. Thanks for that one!
