Reply With QuoteGame are part of the same retail group as HMV, so will probably give the same prices.
That’s just me making an assumption, mind. I haven’t checked.
Right, thought I would throw this up here.
If you are planning on trading in any games on the near future, then HMV seems the place to do it.
Went to Gamestation yesterday with:
Guitar Hero 5
Guitar Hero World Tour
Street Fighter 4
MK vs DC Universe.
They offered me £29 for the lot. With £16 coming from GH5
Went to HMV and they offered my £54 for all 4 of them, which I thought was fair, and would have been what I got if I tried to sell them myself on ebay.
There's no point crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying until your all out of cake.

The interval between birth and death is fractal. Any given moment is infinitely deep and rich, and therefore one lifetime is quite enough for me.
Gamestation have their "won't be beaten on trade in" thing. I used to go to game first, see what they were offering then trade in in Gamestation once they'd matched it cos most games were cheaper to buy there.
They agreed to take World Tour?
Agreed and gave me £15 for it.
No idea about what Game is offering trade in wise, but someone thinks HMV are trying to establish themselves as a place to trade in your games, and are offering a better price for them.
Either way, I don't care because it paid for Forza 3

The trick is, if you'd got the HMV prices, gone back to gamestation, they'd have matched and beaten them by £1 each, giving you an extra four quid, but they make you work for it by offering shitty prices to start with! I guess if they didn't like/ believe you on certain prices they might phone HMV to check.

If you can read this, my sig fell off.
You get a print out from HMV to prove it, take it to gamestation... that was kinds the point i was trying to make... (i do realise i made it badly)
Ah yeah, cool. I've only done it with a couple of titles, and not been asked for a print out, they've just believed the HMV price (or already confirmed them), and one of them the difference was around £6!

Game and Gamestation have been the same company for few years now - they use the same trade in/resale scaling - which blows. any game which turns out to be a shanner i usually faulty exchange in my old store - which has been a fair few recently
did Blockbusters parent comp not buy hmv last year or so? i remember a lot of their corporate pricing and promos being the same for a coupla xmas now, its gay that i still notice that shite
It wasn't a question, Dec, it was an expression of surprise.
Any shop I went to refused World Tour without the entire instrument pack.
False, for the record. Game own Gamestation, HMV are entirely separate.

If you bought GH:WT as a set with all the instruments, they never take the game by itself - the back of the box doesn't have it's own barcode, so i think that might have something to do with it. Instead of a barcode it has "Not for Resale" usually.

Ah, that'd explain it.
