Also got the $25 extra on the PS2 and the DS. Seems odd they are giving $50 on a PS2 that they sell for $59.99 but worked out for me. This old bunch of junk netted me $160 towards a 3DS.

Hey so what do you need to have with the system to trade it in? I have one in my closet w/ a controller.

considering trading in my white wii since i have a black wii. i don't think gs cares about color or will offer you more for different colors.

i wouldn't consider it an upgrade, just change of color. unless you are talking about controllers.

Thanks I must have scrolled right past it.

I don't think they do either, but it's interesting that the non-Motion Plus, older White Wii was worth $60, when I would swear last Thursday while I was in GS, someone called in and the value of a Motion Plus Black Wii system was only worth $40 (plus the $25 bonus then, for a total of $65).

It was an upgrade over the old one, trust me. Not just for the Motion Plus.

Which reminds me, how bad do things have to be to get hit with a refurb fee? I'm guessing that with games it's more likely if the disc is bad shape or there's no manual or case, but with consoles are they refurb fee happy in general or as long as you have everything and it plays, they pretty much don't care? My slim PS2 is just over 1.5 years old now, and there's some scratches on the glossy part of the system, but it works perfectly. Last thing I want is the employee to tell me there's a refurb fee for it.

Sorry for the noobish question. The last time I traded something in to GameStop was 2003 or 2004, when I was 12 or 13. I'll be 20 in 2 weeks

Hey, did the 360 console TIV actually go up? I could have sworn it was $45 w/ wireless controller earlier; I'm considering trading in my old 360 phat with a wired controller (now listed as $35, would be $85 with the extra promo), and I remember there only being a $10 difference between the two.

Will they take a Wii that has the top part gone/lost (the piece that covers up where you would plug gamecube controllers into)?

Originally Posted by aem No idea what the TIV is but for stuff like this its usually close to nothing if they'll even take it. But I think you should be able to get at least $50 (before fees) for a sealed one on ebay. Or someone here would probably like to buy it.

Thanks for the heads up.

No. You might get lucky and find a store that does, but they aren't supposed to.

tempted to dump one of my pearl verisons off to pick up white for 20.


got 3 bootleg platinum games should dump them to gamestop
JOKING .... though i do have 3 bootlegs i got off ebay

Can anyone confirm that I could get $110 credit w/PowerUp for a used Wii? I called 3 local stores and all said $85 was the maximum.

EDIT: Nevermind, the GS website says $25 trade bonus only.

I'm trying to get the most out of this deal and I'm trying to flip 3 madden nfl 11s I got. Is there a way to trade them all in at gamestop without any trouble.
(I already tried giving them all at once, didn't work out too well.)

Trade one in at each of 3 different stores? :/

How much would I get if I trade in a Red Wii, with 2 motion plus controllers? I don't use it at all anymore.

Base TIV for 3/3


Uncharted: Drake's Fortune -- $8
