Scandalous!
Eternal Darkness, only been out 2 months or so - traded it in for only a fiver!!!!
"Becuase you can have it free with a new gamecube we can't offer you much"
Yeah, but this is second hand, so they won't be getting it with a gamecube will they, unless they buy it separately.
The cheek of it!

Yup - on principle I'd rather sell my games to people or keep them - as GAME seem to make far too much out of it...
plus I've bought new games that have definitely been owned prior to me buying it - imagine my surprise when I put a gameboy advance game in for the first time and found a save game on it.. was not impressed [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
So, generally buy from HMV now.

And their prioce scheme sucks big time.
Why buy from the shop when you can buy from the website where everything is generally £5-£15 cheaper.
Example being preorders.
If you preorder a game online they tend to be £29.99 (for £39.99 games + about £1.50 P&P), where if you reserve it in the shop and go on the day of release to pick it you you'll have to pay full wack (£39.99) - I did this stupidly with Resident eVil 0, all becuaseI wanted tot rade a game in for money off it - and the price of the trade in wasn't even up to the £10 difference!
Still, Zelda's only 4 days away

Hello
I have this feeling that if you bring back a game within 10 days and get a refund, it probably just goes straight back on the shelf. Which is why you probably get saved games on "new" cartridges...
