No they wont but as posted above, if you have some really bad games you can increase the effective trade in to £15 for the pair by "trading up" against Mario first. Last night I took in 4 games with an out of offer total trade in of about £10. (was even gonna bother for that). Trade aginat 2 x Sonic for £10 and then traded in againat Wii for £40 effectivle,y doubling my money

Hey_Dude

I went to Game today - traded in 2 crappy games for a £24.99 one.

Sales girl told me that to get the best of the offer I should choose a £29.99 game and then pay £4.99.

I sort of said yeah but I really want this £24.99 game.

She came back and said the discount would be about £16 - I pointed to the big DS trade-in sign and said I was really after that.

She then said let me try and scan it through and see if the £25 discount works.

It did.

She then asked the Manager if all was well - he said it was.

So I got the £24.99 game - did NOT pay £4.99 and was given £0.01 change!

She also said "There's £2.50 on your Game card" - which is bizarre as it was just about empty prior to purchase.

Not sure if my happy story was a one-off - but HTH someone,

Ends this wednesday I believe.


The system is no where near smart enough to know what you've traded in. You can trade it in lots and lots if you want

^!£$&

Who promoted pirating?

[FACT]
The R4 will let you run 'Homebrew' games, alongside 'homebrew' utilities, aswell as letting you use your DS as a multimedia device to watch movies, read Ebooks and view photo's without breaking any laws whatsoever.
Please do not read into a post what is not written.
If someone chooses to use illegaly obtained game images with the R4 then that is entirely up to that indevidual and has no way been promoted by a post on this website.
[/FACT]

.....and to be honest, if there wasn't so much piracy going on you would all be paying aroung 15 quid for a cd now.
Piracy does work in some ways to level out the costs when a market is being exploited.
No?
