"Oi Bonus, in here!"

You said that you're going to trade in your current Xbox for a 360. Any idea how much you'll get for it, only I'm tempted to do the same...

Also, I take it you have to trade it in when you pre-order, you can't hang on to it until the 360 is released?

You could always put the save on your hard drive and find a way to transfer it to your PC, or something.

I have a sort of related question!
I also intend to trade my Xbox to reduce the cost of a 360, however I will be keeping my newest/favourite games as im sure most of you will!
So my question is, when you play one of these xbox games on the 360 will
you have to start from scratch as all the saves will be gone with the xbox! Even if you have a memory card, its not gonna be compatable with the 360!

Ok, thanks. I'll have to call Gamestation and see what they say. I'll be trading in some of my old Xbox games too. Every little helps ;-)

actually it's £56 for an exchange.

I'm guessing it will be about £50 off the price of the 360, but obviously the more stuff you give in (memory cards, extra controller, dvd kit), the more you get. All together that would be about £70, I reckon.

as a guide, CEX buy your Xbox for £52. game will give you considerably less than that, but Gamestation is about the same.

None whatsoever.

The just said take it in when the 360 comes out.

Gamstation said they do bundle deals on consoles with games based on condition and what you actually have. So they'd be able to make a bundle with all my Nintendo stuff and get me a decent price for it, but they'd have to see the condition.

Obviously, it's going to be worth more now, than when the 360 comes out, because almost everyone going to these high street stores will be trading in something.

Did Game give you any idea how much they'll give you for it?

Game wont take it as a pre-order, you pay £20 then take it along when you buy it.

Gamstation have said they will take it as a pre-order though.

I'm going to take my Cube along as a pre-order and my Xbox along when I buy the system, pad and a game. Depending on how the cash flow is for me, might just swap it for a wireles bridge for the 360 :).

Probably about £50 or £60, depending where he sells it. You'd get more if you sold it to someone else and used the money against the 360, but that's more hassle for only about £10 more.
