Cheaper than a Mcdonalds Egg McMuffin?



GAME are offering Xbox 360 games at only 99p! The catch is that you'll have to trade in two existing Xbox 360 games to take advantage of the special offer. The offer started yesterday and runs until next Thursday. It's available at all GAME stores.

Pre-owned software trading has been an issue for some time - with some publishers asking for it to be stopped. It's a bold move by GAME who were recently accused of forcing Xbox 360 bundles onto consumers at inflated prices. Perhaps they've made so much money over the Christmas period that they can afford to sell the games at a cheap rate for the next week.

With the current crop of under-par games for the 360, King Kong, Tony Hawk's Undeground, Quake IV to name a few, gamers will no doubt be flocking to the shops to unload these titles.

Check out our previous news story on GAME.

Afterthought: Are there any other decent titles to pick up? DOA4 possibly, or PGR3, although I'd assume most people who wanted that game would already have it. Put your games on Ebay, sell them for £25-£35 and you then have enough money to buy a game for free, and even have some change left over. I also understand that at GAMESTATION, Xbox 360 games are trading at £30-£32 - head for GAMESTATION instead. At first glance it appears to be a great offer, at second glance the penny drops.

I fail to see how this is a good deal. I don't think there's a single 360 game, even the wost ones, that you can't sell for at least £25 somewhere.
I was thinking about this and you could probably sell two games on ebay for £30-£35 each and have more than enough money to buy a game and have some change left over - added an afterthought to news.

Not a fantastic deal after all- in fact rubbish

How much are 360 games trading for?
Normal trade in on a 360 game is around £24-26 plus Play sell them for £40 so as usual GAME are taking the…um….michael ;)
