Just been down to Woolworths, Blockbuster, Asda and Whsmiths and all of them are waiting for delivery of stock. Stupid Woolworths got my hopes up by putting out the empty boxes on the shelves and then told me that they haven't received any stock yet.

Along with that though Gameplay, Play.com and a few other webistes don't have any stock either. For such a big game it's not exactly a very impressive launch.

Anyway, just phoned Gamestation and they've got stock so I'm off to catch a bus into Liverpool city center.

It might not be a long game but it's a f***ing treck to get it on release day.

Yeah I'm not fussed about them profiting for my games - I couldn't sell them for the prices they ask anyway.

It just benefits the 'seller' (me) in that I don't have to spend any extra cash - and that is a good thing for me right now.

Maybe, but I bet they still got a tonne of profit from them.

The only people who gain with trade-ins are those that buy (getting a game for a cheap price ain't bad after all) and the retailers. They always sell your games for a percentage more than what they gave you.

You could think of it that way I suppose. But the stuf I traded in to get thos credit notes wouldn't be worth half as much now.

You still had to give them something to get the credit notes. So it cost you more than a tenner.

Had some old credit notes to get rid of at Gamestation, resulting in the final cost being £10.09
