Interesting Game Stop Experience - Blu-ray Forum

Warjack Prime · 10-26-2010, 01:48 PM

Hey guys I thought it was hilarious yesterday how much I got for trading in games at Game Stop. I think this was probably the worst I've ever received, and I even got 30% extra for trading in so many games and having a membership. I think they're giving even less than they used to.

I can detail this if I go find the receipt but I traded in a ton of games and got $170 (that includes an extra 30%).

Split Second - PS3
Guitar Hero World Tour - PS3
Bayonetta - PS3
Need for Speed Undercover - PS3
Red Alert - PS3
Assassin's Creed 2 - PS3
Borderlands - PS3
Darksiders - PS3
God of War 3 - PS3
Excitbots Trick Racing - Wii
Halo 3 ODST - 360
Hotel Dusk - DS
Lego Batman/Pure - 360
Left 4 Dead 2 - 360
Mass Effect - 360
Mass Effect 2 - 360
Ninja Gaiden Sigma - PS3
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - PS3
Prince of Persia - PS3
SSX Blur - Wii
Summer Sports Island Paradise - Wii
Trace Memory - DS

I think there were a few more DS games but I can't recall.

Some games went for less than $1. Game Stop has Bioshock used listed for $25 and you can buy it new at Best Buy for $20. With an extra 30% I got back about 10% of what these games cost.

And yes I knew I wouldn't get that much but in the past it seemed like it wasn't quite this bad. I think they're getting worse. At the end of the day, these games were just collecting dust so it's no big deal, but I was annoyed so I thought I'd share my latest experience.
