$6 for Saint's Row 2? You mean I can make a 66-cent profit on a trade-in?

I'm all for this program. We need a competitive alternative to EB Games/Gamestop. I just hope their grading standards for pre-owned submissions are at a higher level than their competitor.

Agreed, bring it on.

Uhh... their trade-in values are worse than Gamestop. A lot worse. I looked up how much my 360 Arcade is worth. $57. Halo 3 (just as an example). $4.00

So they'll give me $61 for my 360 and Halo 3. No thank you.

These guys can't compete with Gamestop if they're not willing to at least match Gamestop's trade-in values.

Depends, competition is good for any industry.

Personally I would be ok with the low trade in value. I never trade my games in because I buy them when they are dirt cheap so there is no reason for me to do it. So I am assuming there prices would be lower

Add $100 to that and you got a deal.

I have to make a correction. I was just at Gamestop asking about the 360 trade-in deal and I figured I'd ask the trade value of Halo 3. Turns out it's $4 at Gamestop as well. My apologies to Best Buy on that one. But they'll still rip you off more than Gamestop on the hardware trade in.

Actually, even with the $62 I was overestimating what I would pay for a 360 by about $138.

Yeah used games don't garner much money unless they've been released in the last 6 months or so.

Futureshop has had used games for quite a while now and it's been awesome. You don't get amazing trade in values for older titles but you get much better than what gamestop offers. Most new games now you can trade in 2 games and get the new game for free and right now they have a promotion for trade 5 games get a PSP or DSi free.

Pretty good
