That's cool for the sports games I suppose since they come out a few months before the next gen consoles but seems a bit pointless for CoD and AC, surely people can wait a couple of weeks to get them on the new console?

Ehhh, it's by far one of the best trade-in values GameStop's ever done but the whole process is too meh. Still, it's there and it's good for those who want it.

Its a stupid deal. Its you upgrade within 30 days of purchase and pay and extra $10. Might as well get the next gen version.

 

Also, for those who are curious, they are also doing it for PS3 and PS4. The OP's bias is just showing.

Not bad, but the title made it seem like it was about trading in the 360 itself for an x1 at some discount.

Because its for the same game, just the next gen version? It'd be ****ing stupid to trade in the game with this deal since its just 30 days you get. Might as well buy the next gen version only if you're going to do that. But if it wasn't as restrictive, it'd be a good way to upgrade the games you got for a low price once you get the console.

No no, I think you have to buy the Xbox 360 game within 30 days of it releasing. So when Madden comes out this month, you need to buy it within 30 days of it releasing to be able to upgrade it when the One comes out. I guess you need to keep the receipt. Its not very clear but thats how I understood it.

Stupid deal...but then again it is Gamestop. The same place that expects you to trade in two recent games plus pay $10 to get a newer game.

Unfortunately the conspirators noticed TC exposing GameSpot for selling xbox merchandise, they even have an gamespot app on xbox. The conspirators changed the topic title into "GameStop". Don't think for a second they can fool us Hazy...how much did they pay you? :x

So you're paying $59.99 for the 360 version. You trade it in for $50. You lost $9.99. You have to pay the $10 remainder to "upgrade" to the XB1 version. So the total cost to the consumer is really $69.99 for the XB1 version. I can't imagine why one would not buy an XB1 first and then just buy the XB1 versions of those games.

This right here..... Only morons trade in their old console if the new one doesn't do BC... I have 60+ psn games on my ps3 and over a hundred disc games... no way in hell am I trading it in. Hell i still have my ps2.. and would still have my ps1 and my collection of first release JRPGS if i didn't need to make rent back in 2001 :(

So wait...

We buy BF4 for the 360 for $59.99

We play it for a couple days.

We trade it back in to Gamestop for the Xbox One version of the SAME GAME and pay $10 more than what the Xbox One version costs.

 

...?

Keep in mind both versions sell for $59.99...

 

 

So, you ultimately pay $69.99 for the game, after you already played through it on the weaker version.

Um, why not just wait a couple weeks and purchase the Xbox One version games without spending an extra 10 dollars a game? This is one of those "deals" to trick customers into spending more money.

Not really a good deal to me imo. If you trade in one of those games and pay $10. Gamestop just gained $14.99 from you. better off just buying the XB1 version instead of falling for this.

Achievements. Buy the game for 360, get 1000 GS then trade it in for the Xbone version and get another 1000. Achievement junkies will be all over this deal like a fat kid on a cupcake.;)

This same deal applies to PS3/4. Wimpers is being biased as usual.
