If I kept every single game I’ve played I would have no room in my house for my family. Once I’ve gotten all the gameplay value out of a game it just takes up space after a long period of time so I trade it in if I can get a good price for it. I still have games from my PSOne and my PS2 only because they are collectables and I don’t mind playing them again. I normally go to Blockbuster now for my trade in’s which is better than what Gamestop could offer. But Amazon isn’t a bad option either since you have other things to choose from.

I actually just sent off some games yesterday to try this out. I was a huge xbox 360 game collector, I had about 175 give or take, I now own around 40 or so. Sold the majority of them on craigslist and to friends. I’ve pretty much stopped playing my 360 and switched to PC gaming. No more stupid Avatars! I’ll give an update after the trade is done.

I’m a collector as well, I keep them and like to play them over an over pretty much. Sure I might no things ahead of time the 2nd time through, but its the same with movies or a book. I still enjoy them again an again. I guess it also helps knowing that I’m not going to get what I want for a trade at one of these places. On the other hand, I like buying them used and finding the steals. I just picked up Bioshock & Fallout 3 for $40 total. Not bad for waiting on these titles in my book. I plan to get Mass Effect for about $15 next.

They are all built of the Gamestop model. Toys R us and this. The only benefit is that with Amazon, you can use the gift cards for anything since Amazon sells more than just games.. it different.

Still, if you’re looking to trade in games this is a nice option. You’re not tied in to using the resulting funds at a specific store and Amazon sells about everything.

People should always keep the good games, & don’t buy crappy games unless they are cheap already… Then you will never have the need to trade games in.

I never trade games in. Anyone on here who has seen my list, knows this. I’m just a collector. That being said, if I was to trade games in, I wouldn’t. I would sell them online, on Ebay, or Craiglist and get the going rate.

You can always get MORE by going this route than trading in. I understand some people don’t want to deal with the hassle, and some kids don’t have Ebay accounts or are too young to do this.

Gamestop has practically cornered the market on used games, so more competition is OK in my book.

Deac you should know Blockbuster won’t be around much longer
