Well the only reason I went there for was the Xbox 360 for 200$ off, other than that, I have no reason to go there, it's all over priced.
If you want to sell old games, go to ebay or something. EB gives you nothing for games. I doubt they would pay $8 for Halo 3.RoyTheViking
I put my PS2, and the games, controller etc. on a website called Kijiji, and I acually had a reply for it 2 hours after. I put it on there for 80$.
Remember when PS2 came out, and it was around 700$, well I've still got one. The original. I wanted to trade up for an Xbox 360 for over a year now, and I finally seen a deal at EB games that if you traded in your old console, and 8 games they gave you up to 200$ off the purchase of an Xbox 360 Arcade (I know, 256mB Harddrive) but for 99$, who really cared, I could buy a memory card if I had to.
Anyways, I went to EB games on Tuesday, of this week. I asked the guy at the counter about the Xbox deal he told me if I trade in 8 games, valued at 8$ or more, they would be raised up to 25$, and that would count to the purchase of the Xbox 360, aswell as the trade in of my rarely used, classic PS2. So I left with a smile, and collected up my games preparing to go to EB games on Friday, when I had the day off.
So I picked up my girlfriend, and headed down to EB games with my PS2, controller, Memory card, 9 games, and a few hundred bucks in cash. I walked up to the counter and was completely ignored by the store clerks. So I waited patiently while they came back from break, single file, 5 minutes apart.
This is how the conversation went with the trade ins which were -> Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Nascar Thunder 2002, Crash The Wrath of Cortex, True Crime Streets of LA, Silent Scope, Metal Gear Solid 3, Dynasty Warriors 3, and Scarface the World is Yours;
Scruffy counter guy -> "Ok, this deal ended yesterday, so this will just be taken off the 299$"
Myself -> "well I came in on tuesday, and no one mentioned this to me when i told them I was coming back today"
Scruffy counter guy -> "Well, we'll scan them anyway, probably not worth much"
Scruffy Counter guy again -> "ok, 1$, 3$(Silent Scope, suprising, I know), 1$, 2$, nothing, it's the black edition with Hot Coffee, I'm not even going to bother scanning the rest."
Myself -> "Well the PS2 has to be worth something"
Scruffy Counter guy -> "10$, but since it's dusty, I won't give you anything for it"
Myself -> "well I'll take my business elsewhere then, like Best Buy"
Well thanks to you EB Games, in Windsor Ontario on Walker road next to Canadian Tire. Enjoy the competition of a Best Buy right across the street.
