Burnout Revenge for PS2 £9.99 at Argos

My son was after this game at Christmas but I am glad I waited. We checked the price at Asda and it was still £29.99. I couldnt't find it cheaper anywhere else.

    Must be a overstock IMO, as most stores can have it ordered in from the warehouse to be collected next week if OOS.

    Which is unusual for sale items :D

    Can't you buy this version and trade it in at one of many gaming stores for the XBOX edition? Pretty sure they would offer more than £9.99 credit for a sealed pretty new release!

    As a note, Gamestation wont accept sealed games as trade in.

    As a general rule of thumb you can work out the price of a trade in depending how much they sell the game for :

    I have not traded many in the last couple of months, but certainly before that you could expect :

    £7.99 = £2/£3

    12.99 = £6.00

    16.99 = £10.00

    19.99 = £12.00

    24.99 = £16.00

    29.99 = £20.00

    I did notice though that in the last 6/9 months prices of games in general have fell a lot. i..e often most new games you can usually find somewhere for £20/£25 in the high street as some kind of deal of the week type thing. And I think that sometimes they adjust prices if they start to get a lot of the same copies.

    Having worked in GAME for a few months I would say that your trade in prices are slightly inflated...

    eg. £19.99 new, would be sold approx £12.99 used and there has to be a profit for them in there...

    The prices I was quoting was the Pre-Owned price at Gamestation. So if they sold a pre-owned game for £19.99 they would give you £12 trade-in value for it.
