£87.46 is pretty good too. Well done.

Now get Xbox Live and your life will be complete.

Yes, if you traded that lot in GAME you'd only have enough to buy a magazine.

Although it's more work, you'd be better off shoving the lot on eBay.

Probably 60 trade, or 40 cash at your local shop.
Are they 3rd party memory cards, or official? if they are official add a fiver onto the previous figures.

The price you get for them will also depend on the place at where you decided to trade-in.

I think that, the best thing you can do for the best trade-in prices, is to 'shop-around' for one store that sells pre-owned games for the highest prices.


From what I've heard before, it works out that they only pay you around 50% for a game of the final price they intend to soon retail it for.

The cheaper the games on sale are, the less you're more likely to recieve. If you want more money, go to somewhere that charges more anyway.


Then again, in terms of differences, we could only be talking a matter of pounds, maybe two, so, it might not be worth all that hassle anyway...?

Still, the best you can do for the best price is to ask around and get quotes anyway. :)
