    Dance Juniors is worth £12 Trade in at C-ex and GameStation price match by £1 (put them in your basket and print out the basket to take to store) so worth £13 trade in - but they will only take a maximum of 5 games the same.

    So, for £30 outlay on 4 x Dance Juniors you could get £52 trade in value at GameStation. If you can be bothered. :D

    We did this when we found the Garfield/Motion Plus packages in Argos, paid £12.99 for the package and got £11 each back on the games but kept the motion plus controllers for ourselves. Which we have never used of course. Doh!!

    I could find it by adding wii music to the trolley, then searching seperatley for wii dance juniur. WHen I add them both to the trolley, the £5 saving shows.

    Always check online here: http://uk.webuy.com/sell/

    Put the items in your basket and then print the basket out and take the Gamestation. Works the same for cash value but you need ID if doing that. It is still giving £10 exchange for Dance Juniors http://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=3307219924934&mode=sell so still worth £11 - you MUST do it this way as it gives you more online.

    I paid £9.99 a few weeks back for that one for the kids and checked then. They give a premium price for consoles too and GS will price match (with our DS's though they added £2) and I got £70 for DS DSi a few weeks back.

    MJ Experience game costs £7 in loads of places, C-ex will give £10 so worth £11 at GS: http://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=3307219902741
  • Sent my mother in law into Argos Southampton High Street armed with my reservation number - she went to a till and it came up £17.48, so she asked to speak to the manager went off to look online. He came back and basically said that the price was £17.48 and was not prepared to amend it! So she went to a self service till, typed in the reservation number - and hey presto! £12.48! I'm SO pleased!

    Thanks very much OP! x :beer:

    Thanks OP I have been to collect mine today, I had to explain and get them to look online in which they told me it was just a docking station 1/2 price I said no you are looking at the wrong offer.
    We went over and over it (I was in the store 25mins) but finally got to the conclusion of looking at wii music and saying 1/2 price dance juniors with this game - so I got it at that price.
    Between 2 managers and 1 till staff they managed to fiddle with the price to get it exact to what the reservation stated. It did come just below £10 I said I wont complain they said no sorry we cant do that!!! Oh well :)
  • Picked mine up this morning and paid using the self service kiosk having reserved it on line. It came up with the correct price no problem so not sure why all stores aren't doing that. I was in and out in five minutes flat so very happy.

    Thanks for this as we don't have many games that my DD can play.
