Do they have a list of RPGs. Xbox RPGs only? Link?

this could be interesting because i got a few RPG's on the CC deal....and i'm sure i could pick up a bunch of crappy ones along the way if there is a list of what they will accept

If you have a list of what they will take, similar to the Street Fighter trade-in deal, can you please post the list? Thanks.

Are there even 4 rpgs on the xbox. I know, there are, just being funny. I think any current generation system rpg will work.

If you only have 3 RPGs, will you still get a discount on Fable?

morrowind, arx fatalis, KOTOR, Sudeki and Dues EX? can't think of many others. Sounds like a rip-off deal to me.

Do PSOne RPGs count? I want to trade in Suikoden, Suikoden II, Alundra, and Persona.

I highly doubt it. They usually do trade in deals for next gen gaming consoles such as 3 xbox,ps2, or cube games and get extra 10 for them.

Nice Family Guy quote. :lol:

But.. yeah.. I'm gonna have to go ahead, and disagree with you there... yeah. In my experience, Alundra is far more difficult to find than it's sequel. I could drive 20 minutes and have 5 copies of Alundra 2 right now, but I've been looking for two years (not counting Ebay) for a complete copy of the first game and have come up dry.

I have two games on that list that I'd be willing to trade in (Harvest Moon and Wild ARMs 3). Will that still get me 50% off? Or does anyone know a place to get any other games on that list for really cheap? Actually, I think my CC still has another copy of Harvest Moon for $5. Would I be able to trade in two copies of the same game?

08-11-2004, 10:53 PM
Ah crap! No Arc the Lad? I wanted to unload that one. And whoever had Suikoden 2 (one of the greatest RPGs EVER by the way), needs to Ebay that if he doesn't want it. I know that's worth something. Hell, I'd give you Fable for those 4 games. They're worth more than the crap on the list.

You haven't looked hard enough. I got a copy of the first Alundra in near mint condition, complete with map to boot, on eBay first time I looked.

Alundra 2 is about $10 complete at EB.

And yes, I was joking earlier. Stop PMing me.

I'll call Gamestop tomorrow and preorder four copies of Phantom Brave

Thanks for the deal .

alundra 2 may be rare, but it is worthless. The game sucks ass. Alundra 1 is worth the $15

BTW< i have an extra alundra 1 manual for trade for the guy who lost his manual.

Growlanser: Generations

This isn't even out yet, is it? Last I saw was either a 9/1 or 9/15 date, and who knows if that's even accurate.

Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstict

This isn't an RPG is it!?!?!

Definitely not. Any game based on the State of Emergency engine will ever be considered an RPG. It's an action-adventure at best.

Of course, anything with Bruce Campbell in it supercedes all classification and enters into the friendly realm of "Great," so I guess "Great" should encompass RPG, right?

08-12-2004, 03:17 PM
Even the worst 4 on the list are worth more than $50. And is anyone really going to be done with Growlanser before Fable comes out?

sega4ever
08-12-2004, 04:33 PM
isnt Suikoden II a $80 to $100 on ebay? i remember my brother buying it used for $40 at gamestop when nobody heard of it then saw the price on ebay and was shocked.

A month? Try about a week or two. No offense to pimpbot, but I still don't think that list above is 100% correct.

PsyClerk
08-12-2004, 05:36 PM
Ok, I guess I have to spell it out.

My list of games was meant as a joke. I would not trade those in for a 4-for-1 deal.

I did not receive any PMs about it.

The fact that I've had to explain this kills the joke. Thanks.

08-12-2004, 05:39 PM
Goodbye Legaia 2, Baldur's Gate, PotC and Wild Arms 3.. hello free Fable. Really a damn good deal for 3 games I'll never play again and one (PotC) thats so buggy its near unplayable.

CD
08-12-2004, 06:11 PM
And is anyone really going to be done with Growlanser before Fable comes out?

Heck is Growlanser even going to be released BEFORE Fable? :lol:

Kind of kicking myself now for trading in BA:DA earlier this year, probably don't have enough on there to make use of the Fable deal, hopefully they add on more titles.

Actually, Kingdom Under Fire comes out 6 days before Fable. Great deal, trade in a game you payed $40 less than a week before hand and 3 other games and you get a single game in return!

Anyway, not a great deal, but if you can manage to find a few of those for cheap it might work out. I did get BG:DA, .hack part 2, and Wild Arms 3 for less than $10 each...might almost be worth it to pick up another $10 game and get Fable. Though I doubt Fable will be as good as 4 other games put togeather...

masha
08-13-2004, 05:23 AM
I'll wait until it comes out . There will be a better deals on Fable once it's out, not worth it IMHO .

It is highly unlikely. It wasnt allowed during other promotions of trade in x number of games get specific game free, so I doubt its valid here. Why not just call and ask? Much quicker answer...

Umm, you can get Alon D'ar, King's Field and legion for around $22 from EB using the 2 for 1. Then add another like WIld Arms to get Star ocean 3 for free? Anyone who doesn't think that's hot is nuts.

I just exchanged wild arms 3, legaia 2, xenosaga, and dot hack 1 for a brand new game which I get in a month. I think that is a pretty good deal especially I couldn't get $50 on ebay for games like that, normally I think trading in games is a rip off but iif gamestop resells those games they won't get more than $60.

You'll have to check with EB if their $10/per game trade-in deal is still going on...

But as far as I understand...it was good toward any pre-order.

Here's the list of excluded games :
