Whew, my Xbox was just about going bonkers in just maybe couple of long play sessions away. Great that I got 100 bucks in credits. That's a lot for console that's unreliable as the old fat Xbox.

tempted to trade in my useless 3ds.
will probably bite and get some WoW timecards, or Diablo 3

anyone tried trading in banned xbox consoles? any luck?

So seems like half the people got this to work with a basic membership and the other half were told they needed Pro. I've got 4 GS here, so hopefully at least one will do it with the free version. I'll probably try to get this done Thursday and report back I guess.

I think its time to become a PS3 and PC/Mac gamer only. Goodbye 360 you served me well.

I don't have an answer to your question, but this is more or less why I would never buy a used system from Gamestop. Too many people on these forums and even someone I know who works at Gamestop will trade in stuff that barely works or has some sort of problem. Great for them that they can get the credit, but that's why I buy the stuff new.

Still glad I did the PUR coupon trade-in a few weeks ago. $140 for my old half working XBox and $230 for my generation one 80gb PS3.

That's what I'm doing. Although, I do have a 3DS/Vita. It's become increasingly clear to me that I am no longer the target gamer for the Xbox. The upcoming exclusives (what little there is) no longer appeal to me and I refuse to pay for Xbox Live. I used all that Trade in credit to fill up my Steam Wallet.

Pretty much what I am going to do as well.

It's really starting to feel that way for me too. I mean there's still a ton of older games I want to play and I have way too many 360s to jump ship now, but out of all the new games there's like five tops I'm interested in. I only I were a kid or a soccer mom, then I'd be in heaven!

So if you buy the 250/320GB out of the box Slim systems, they don't have the memory chip like the 4GB Slim's do?

I have the power up rewards card, was able to trade in Wii for $75 without any issues.

I had the original wii with wii sports.

I included everything including game, manual, etc. I packaged it as new.

The guy was so impressed he told me your packing is amazing, he just took out the console, scanned something in, and gave me the credit.

It took less than 5 minutes.

You probably didn't need to include the Wii Sports game with it, since they'll just sell that seperately anyway.

I wish I knew that, i think the game itself trades for $8.

ugh.

anyways, nothing i can do now.

Yeah no game is necessary to trade in a Wii. You should have gotten like $7 in credit for Wii Sports.

How is the 4 gig slim 360 worth more than a vita ? Wtf lol

That's what I'm doing -- mostly PC though.

And I'd hate to complain yet again about it but for me it was MS's fault for me leaving - that last update made finding anything such a pain and all the apps having the horrible Kinect interface I have a kinect but controller is much faster and now many MS remote control buttons are even disabled). What a disaster.

Too bad, I really enjoyed the 360 but the interface is horrible now and MS putting more ads everywhere and their plan to "monetize users" even further and I've just had enough.

As annoying as DRM, drivers, etc. can be I'll stick with the PC - I can still play games I played in the 80s on my PC (not always easily but I can) - good luck doing that on the 360 when the Xbox 720 comes out or if you let Gold lapse.

Tempting to trade in the wii or maybe the 360 I just got

So I get the base $75 with the Wii and $100 with the 360 do I get an extra 10% as a PUR member

Nope. 10% extra isn't for consoles

Also when their are specials like this like a "guaranteed" price, the PUR doesnt' stack (for instance when Gamestop stays "Guranteed $30 if you trade in X game!" the 10% doesn't go ontop of that.)
