Cheaper MarioKart Wii @ GAME

Hi guys, GAME are running a trade-in deal for the MarioKart launch. It runs from Friday (release day) until the 25th April.

Trade in any 2 Wii games and get MarioKart for £9.99.

To best take advantage of this offer, buy 2 cheap Wii games for under £10 and then trade them in towards MarioKart. It will cost equivalent of £29.99 or less this way, rather than £34.99. Comet have sold Wii games for £4.99 new, GAME stock some £9.99 pre-owned Wii games and other stores in town will have them. Let me know how it goes.

  • All over this!
    Trawled my local Blockbuster, am armed and ready for Friday :D
    Note to boss: might be in late Friday (if at all)!

    Warning: GAME will not take Wii Sports or Wii Fit as part of this offer. Not too sure about that spare copy of Guitar Hero (if you just had to get two guitars for xmas ;) ). Also not sure if they will take Links Crossbow training from the Zapper.

    Anyone know any better?

    Will they actually have any stock - thats the million dollar question. Did you reserve any?
    Being bored is so boring Im bored of it... :rotfl:
  • Want to thank the OP many times over but can't -
    I just traded in Cosmic Family (bought for £7.99) and Billy the Wizard (bought for £2.99) for £15 each at my local Game store.

    Paid £4.99 for MarioKart + wheel
