how many would i have to trade in to get a discount etc and what is the ususal discount?

No idea on that one there Johno I wish I could help you. I have only trader a game once and it was a straight swap. It depends on the game and how much they offer.

[Westsider]

Depends on quality and resale value.

Prob 5-6 games.

sorry strawb i should of been more clear.
i meant trading them to games stores like eb games and jbs etc?
i know they have special offers if u trade games u get discount. just wanted to know wether its worth trading games in or just buyin it for normal price.

It's worth it if you don't play the games anymore.

I always trade in my "series" games when the next version comes out... i.e. Madden 07 -> 08 -> 09 -> 10 -> 11.

If you got heaps of games you don't play you can either trade them for a new one. Or EBAY them.

HHHMMMM....

Pay top dollar for your games and sell/trade them for next to nothing...

Keep them.

Never sell an assett for less than you bought it.

Many years from now maybe.

Just store them for another era.

Its only money...

games hold money depending on the system how hard the game is to find. You will be surprised on what a game is worth. I hold onto my games as a gamer. No matter how many times I have beaten it I still sit down and play them. I brought Mortal Kombat for the Mega Drive from cashies the other day and I paid five dollars for it. On the box it had its original price of $99 I was like damn.

I'm sorry Dog_ger, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, but you are wrong. Sit on them for an extended period of time and you won't get $1 for them.

Unless you are like Strawb and going to play them again down the track then it's best to get what you can for them.

To be honest I just don't like parting with them. Refer to consoles that you own thread for a good reason why. I will admit I am a collector more. (Wife says I am a horder)
