Swap your XBOX 360 Games, cheaper than trading them in at GAME or GAMESTATION

http://www.swopex.com

I came across the site yesterday and realised why get !!!! trade in value from GAME or GAMESTATION and pay extra for the next game you want, when you can swap it for a whole other game.

No more being ripped off by high street chains, when finished with your game, swap it, don't trade it for less value.

Well I think its an excellent idea and would like other peoples opinions who trade in games regularaly when they're finished with them.

    I just traded Perfect Dark, and its not cash, you swap a whole game for another one.

    Its worth it for xbox 360 games as they cost £50 brand new, and trade in prices are only £27 credit in Gamestation.

    Admittedly, I only have 4 games for my 360 but I haven't paid more than £35.99 for one yet.

    I would stick to a shop as you surely have more comeback if anything goes wrong. I have noticed that Gamestation give you more exchange credit than Game as I got £30 credit for Perfect Dak from Gamestation and Game would only offer £22.

    I don't get into the habbit of trading games in as it is a rip off

    Hi
    Any idea how much I would get for 3 brand new x box games (still sealed) from either retailer?
    They are 007 From Russia with Love, Medal Of Honour, Red Cent 100% bulletproof.

    You would have to go into the shop or phone them up and ask what they will give you and you will get more if you exchange them rather than getting the cash, don't think it makes much difference if they are sealed from what I have heard.

    You could check this site out http://www.cex.co.uk/search.php?ispostback=1&cat=673&section=1&pl=5 for a rough guide on what they pay

    Seal or unsealed - it doesnt matter. They are still classed as 2nd hand. In fact, gamestation do not accept sealed games as trade in.

    For those, id try and sell them on eBay OR try your local games shop as they will be more willing to sell them as new rather than 2nd hand and therefore maybe give you more for them.
