LMAO. That was funny that night.

But, I think I could force myself to like it, if not love it, I did with Vegas. Didn't like it at first, now I love it.

And about LP, I now hate that game. I haven't touched it since that night me and you tried to play online, Odin. That **** totally killed any liking that I previously had for that game.

I don't know if the rest of you know this, but EB Games & Gamestop are practically the same company now. Gamestop "bought them out" months, if not years ago. To me, the difference in trade-in value between one store or the other should be nominal, at best.

You know when you trade in games they only give you a discount on pre-owned games right?

If you want the cash, they will give you about $20 less than they should.

My friend bought Battlestations: Midway 2 days ago, and he is now going to trade it in for GRAW 2. I think he is a retard but whatever floats his battleship (Crappy Battlestations reference). He will get a real crappy discount and then will complain to me that he got ripped off.

If I was you, I would either get enough cash to buy GRAW 2 outright, or sell the games to a friend. I know that I can sell my games to a friend for twice as much as EB/GS would give me and my friends are really all that mentally challanged.

When I was thinking about trading in my PS2 & games to GS last week, I was searching the internet for some trade in values when I came across this:

The Mad Gamer #4: EB Games EXPOSED! » PopCultureShock

Read the entire article, seriously. Even if you arent trading them in, read it. It didnt surprise me, but it may you.

I've never had a problem with EB, I've always gotten good deals and such, and I've never came across any of these people that are "forced" to tell you anything. Everyone I've encountered are nice people who give honest opinions and let me shop without bothering me.

Eh... I don't really trust eBay.

Idk, it just doesn't seem safe.

The easiest way to find out what you can get for the games is to call or go by one of the game stores and ask them.

The only thing I can say for sure is that sports games don't hold value at all. They make new versions every year so the older games become practically worthless.

Here is a link to last year's trade-in values for EB/GS.

Granted they were last years and will have changed, and also they havent really updated the list since maybe October so just use it as a guidline for the depreciation in value of games.

I would go with Bob's suggestion of eBay. Just make sure you get payment in the bank before sending the games to a customer. If you sell something to someone and they arent happy, they can put a freeze on your account at anytime they wish.
