To answer a question poster earlier, I was in need of some fast cash that's the only reason I was going to sell it in the first place. I'm keeping the 360 now and won't be getting rid of it in any way shape or form... I just figured I could get the money I needed as well as upgrade to an Elite system around the holidays, but it's just not worth it. I'm glad to see that most people already know that they're nothing but a giant rip-off. I just hate to see people getting taken advantage of by big companies and if my post helped one person decide to use eBay or any other way of getting rid of something they no longer want than I'm happy enough with that.

I ended up playing Final Fantasy XI (The MMO One) for a few hours tonight and that's about it. Getting ready to go to sleep now so I won't be playing anything else tonight.

Like I said, it's not that I'm just realizing this. I've always know it's a ripoff to sell anything to companies like that. I'm just saying that after keeping tabs on prices for certain things over the course of many years, it seems like right now they're pushing it as far as they possibly can and I just don't want to see some of the more uninformed members here get screwed over by the likes of Gamestop and companies like them.

Halo is a completely different style of game than that of Gears. Halo is first person, Gears is third person. If you like FPS games Halo is a GREAT game without a doubt. However, FPS games aren't for everyone and if you prefer Gears check out some other 3rd person shooters... Rainbow Six Vegas is one that comes right to mind. If you haven't tried that, it's worth it. Also, just remember that because you don't like a certain genre of game doesn't mean others don't. As gamers we need to have open minds and give constructive critisism if we want the industry to grow, which thankfully it is.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah I know they are out to make a profit, but like I said they have completely gone past that reasonable point where doing business with them is made almost impossible to justify. I never trade-in stuff either, nor do I sell it on eBay or Craigslist or anything but I just wanted to put those options out there ot people who don't know about them. Now like I said, even though I don't trade stuff in personally, or sell it for that matter... I always kept track of what the rates were for some games and consoles and right now is by far the worst I've ever seen them offering.

To the OP, I would definately go with LO. Now to be honest, I have only played IU for about an hour so far but I don't really care for the combat system or anything. LO is more old school Final Fantasy type and I just love that. LO has a great story, amazing graphics, and it's a nice long game. Whichever you do decide on, I hope you enjoy it because they're both worth the money.

Well, I decided to trade-in my 360 at Gamestop for cash. It's the premium console with 20GB HDD, 1 Wireless controller.... etc. Now I understand that there was a price drop for the 360's, but they expected me to hand over my 'like new' 360 to them for a mere $85... What are they smoking? To make matters worse, I called about 2 weeks ago and I was told it would be roughly $160 and now it's half of that. I just wanted to make this thread so anyone out there thinking about trading stuff in to Gamestop, don't do it!!! You're better off using eBay or something like that or even just keeping the stuff, which I ended up doing... just keeping it. I know they have to make money, but they've gone beyond the reasonable limit to flat out r*ping their customers. Use eBay or sell to a friend, but don't line Gamestops pockets. Another reason I made this thread is to let people know the current going rate for 360 trade-ins at Gamestop. Sorry if this isn't in the correct forum, if it's not in the right place please feel free to move or delete this thread. Take care!
