I have a PERFECTLY working 360 pro, I've had it since 06 and it's NEVER had the RROD.I called gamespot today to find out how much trade in value it had to go toward the elite...guess what...?? 70.00 FREAKIN BUCKS!!! I'd rather throw it out of the widow and buy a brand new 360 then trade it in to those criminals. What are your thought's on GS trade in deals(...and no I'm not throwing my system out the wiindow)lol

I posted my old one on craigslist for $120 and was sold within half an hour. Be resourceful, you will earn more.

And they will turn around and sell it for $150, too.

Gamestop are crooks, I tell ya. Sell it yourself. Cut out the middle-man. Little extra work will get you a good $50-75 more.

I'd rather sell it on ebay for double or more of the price they gave you.

And here I thought this would be a ODST rant, but I do agree, it is a rip-off, but then again, so are most trade in values.

i havent traded anything in for yearsssss because of the major ripoff. I would rather keep my hard earned games and let collect dust than trade to them.

I couldn't agree more. However I like that other people trade in their old games because then I get them cheap. :P

Sell your system online through Craigslist, but for games try goozex.com. I just started using this, It is pretty sweet. You get full value on your games, check it out!

I never trade in anything to EB Games. Their trade in prices simply aren't worth it.

Oh i have thoughts alright! Gamestop is the devil! They make more money on trade-ins than the actual developer makes just selling the freakin' game. This is why the gaming industry is at gamestop's throat right now. If the developers were involved in the trade-in process, that would mean more money for them, and better games for us. But No! Gamestop sits in the middle like a leech on society effectively destroying the gaming industry by sucking up every last bit of consumer spending that should be going directly into the developer's pockets.

honestly you're probably going to be hard pressed to get anymore than 70 for it, unless you go through craigslist and pray to god that the person doesnt ask when it was made, since its probably outside the 3 year RROD warranty if it was manufactured in 06.
