Anyone got any bad experience when they trading in their PS3 games at rip off EB, what's the worst trade in price you ever get on your PS3 game and what game it is, I just curious how big their bloody margin is when they trying to sell 2nd games more expensive than brand new ones ...

Well I asked at the local EB, how much I would get off COD4 if I traded in Spiderman 3. And they only offered $25. Last time I'm going there to trade.

I dont want to criticse EB too much as i did work there only last year....yes i know But i tried to get lucky on one of those friend deals..you know? The "its who you know" kind of thing. I asked my friend if i could trade in 2 PS3 games (both crap games mind you....Iron Man and Lair) for Uncharted...they're getting 2 $50 games for one $100 retail priced game. She said "Yeah sure but i'll have to charge you an extra $79.95 on top of that because the two games you're trading are poor saleswise" ......F4rk off! Last time im trading with my friend at EB

Be aware of the quarter brained 15 year olds that work there though....they really really dont know much, and when you ask them a question thats too hard...they will look at you startled, scratch their hollow heads and say..."Um...let me just ask my boss. They will DEFINITELY know" lol......yeah...just because they have a managers label they apparently know everything...which they dont.

Well i work at EB, and it is pretty embarressing to tell people how much they'd get for a game... some are really worth while - like recently $110/$90 for GTA IV (its $50 at the moment), but the lowest ive seen was $17 on either MotorStorm or Resistance. GT Prologue was something like $25 last time i checked.

Do not trade in at EB. They rip you off. PERIOD!
If you are too lazy to sell games on ebay, go to JB Hi-Fi.
They usually give you a decent trade in.
And there are some games where you can trade two PS3 titles for a new PS3 game such as GTAIV and the new Metal Gear Solid, although they don't accept certain games as part of that deal.

Well yes and no. Stores are only meant to trade in games from other regions if they can be tested on in-store PS3's... if the store doesnt have a PS3 testing facility then no. We've denied heaps.. even I wasnt allowed to trade in my ones... kinda sucks cause PS3 is region-free and it shouldnt matter at all.
