Gamestop are offering £30 credit on used (or new!) games until the end of April. There's a huge list in their magazine. So time to get rid of your old games.
If you don't have much time to search for old games & are desperate for credit for a new console and don't have enough old games to exchange or enough hard cash, you could buy new games like "DS Brain Training" & "More Brain Training" which are on offer for about £13 each in Tescos and therefore get a profit of approx £34 to put towards your new console or games.
Better to find cheaper games though - if you have the time look around Game or CEX etc for 2nd hand games (that are on the list). HTH

Edit: I can't find an on-line site for the UK version of GameStop (only gamestop.ie) & as there's so many games (over 300), maybe those of us with magazines could answer yes or no to those asking if a game is on the list? And maybe post suggestions on how to get the best out of the offer?

Just to clarify, there are just too many games to list:
- NDS approx 80 games
- PS2 " 10 games
- PS3 " 80 games
- PSP " 10 games
- Wii " 80 games
- Xbox360 " 60 games

EDIT!! (11-4-09) Vicks276 has very kindly typed out all 300 game titles - see from post 20 onwards. Thanks for all your hard work!

EDIT (18-4-09) BE CAREFUL if buying games specially or travelling a distance. It seems that some/all (?) of the shops are not now accepting all of the games listed in their magazine. Read the last page or so of this thread for more details.

    Just checked the mag and there's 7 shops in the UK. In addition to Stockport and Birmingham there's 2 in Belfast, then Bangor, Derry and Newry. Nearly 50 in the south of Ireland though.

    Sorry if I'm being stupid, but can someone clarify: Does this mean if you trade in an old game you get £30 credit?
    Thanks!

    Yes that's correct but only certain games. There is a wide choice though, lots of the really popular games IIRC. Sorry I haven't been able to get a link. Worth a call though if you have any old games gathering dust.
