You'll not get much more that £10 for any game at GAME, there well stingy.

The best way to "recycle" your old games is to sell them on ebay.

Ive found the best way to get around this is trade them in for a newer game and haggle over the trade price. You'll find they'll give you more for your trade game than what it's worth cause they'd rather sell the newer game.

Or they could say "you shouldn't be discussing SR's competitors on their own message boards".

I wouldn't say it in them words and I'd try a smaller more local games shop. Try something like:

You: "How much would you give me for this game Cash and Trade Prices"

Illiterate Game Person: "erm ur £10 trade, £8 Cash"

You: "Would you give me £12 if I traded it against PES 3?"

Illiterate Game Person: "Er...Urm...I don't know let me ask..."

You: "Thanks, Cya"

-----------

Or you could try the "Shop X said they'd give me X amount, will you match it?"
