Game or Gamestation?

Moneymaker1 · 30-08-10, 05:11 PM

So which one is your favourite, I alternate somedays Game and others Gamestation, depends how close I am :P
Also does anybody know the trade in values for a phat 40gb PS3 for both Game and Gamestation? It got the Yellow Light and I spent £50 fixing it and then only to find out they were releasing the Slim version - proper Curb your Enthusiasm moment lol (for anybody who gets the reference!).
My Xbox 360 also got Red Light and It is still under warranty, can I get a full refund?

Thanks.

I can only really get to a Gamestation, although Game bought Gamestation or the other way around, so it shouldnt really matter.

Hi, im not sure about the trade in prices but i do know aswell that they are both owned by the same company so the prices should be the same, and for the xbox 360, if it still has the warranty seal on it and its under warranty i dont think you can get a refund, but you can send if off to microsoft for free to be repaired ( £50 i think if your not on warranty not to sure though) or you should be able to exchange it for another Xbox 360

Either way, you're likely to get ripped off trading in, you always do at any shop.

I'm not trading in, getting cash in hand. I have a 360 on it's way from FJ and going to put the money towards a PS3

That's just as big a rip off with them.

Granger Games is the cheapest for buying, but also the cheapest for selling.

CEX for trading in, Granger Games for buying.

Don't really buy games too much anymore but when i used to i think it had to be gamestation.

**xploit** · 30-08-10, 11:36 PM

how much should i sell my original ps3 for? its got fifa 10 and NFS:Shift with it as well as a keyboard that attaches to the controller.

Moneymaker1 · 31-08-10, 01:21 AM

Id go with at least 160

**xploit** · 31-08-10, 01:28 AM

cool, i'll tell ppl 175 then drop it if necessary

EDIT: the price that is, not the PS3

Moneymaker1 · 31-08-10, 11:33 AM

I've heard that Phat PS3s go for at least £120-£130 with controller/leads. But having those games packaged may up the price a bit.

game personally they always seem friendly, any gamestation i ever been to the staff are really ignorant and dont help customers.

Id advise selling it on ebay because you can list it as you want to and you'll get more money
