Trade in prices?

|Show| · 24 May 2006 at 13:23

Hi, i was just wondering if theres anywhere on the various shop web sites with an indication to the price of console trade-ins as i've not been able to find anything...its just i'm looking to get a 360 so i thought i might as well trade in one of my xbox's and my cube, but don't have a clue what kind of money i'd get for them :confused:

so don't know if its better to try and just find a 2nd hand 360 for cheap online....although i really would like to go and collect a brand spank 360 premium pack over the counter

oh, and one more question...how much benefit would the premium pack be over the core pack if i didn't plan on gettin XBL? and how much use is the HDD?

Cant say how much you would get but I traded in 3 games yesterday and GameStation offered me £9 more than anyone one else for them.

yesterday i traded in my xbox to gamestation and got just under £40 for it, game offered me £32

every xbox game i traded in i got £3 for was a bit disappointing but meh what can you expect now the 360 is out

They are selling 2nd hand xboxes at about £50 so expect about £20 from them for it, I paid about £35 for a second hand cube so expect £15 for one.

If you ring them up they'll tell you over the phone.

To be honest mate i think you;d be missing out not to use it online, some fantastic gaming goes on.

Even if you dont get gold, you have silver meaning you can downloaded content from the market place, so you'd want the HDD for that. Also for savegames etc.. if you dont want a mem card, some games will use it to cache data too aswell maybe making them a bit smoother? (not sure about the last one

)

Premium also comes with the headset and wireless controller, rather then wired which is better. And the HD Component cable.

Like 90% of the ocuk owners that dont dont seem to play online

I'd definately get the premium if your not planning to go online and are sure of that, then a core is good enough.

cheers for the input

i am all for a premium pack, its just i saw the world cup pack and that looked pretty cool, but obviously is only on core packs plus i might of found a core pack + mem card (with 10months of XBL gold) + PDZ limited edition + VGA cable all for between 200 and 250 (open to offers) - hows that sound to all you knowledgable owners?

so i guess i'm still going to keep looking around

Popped into Gamestation at the weekend to trade my PREMIUM XBox360 and without having to ask the staff I saw that they would only offer me a paltry £135 for the console or £200 if I spent the trade in on other stuff in the shops!

Pah!!! They had a 2nd hand one for sale in the window for £264 so that's a pretty good mark up on what they must have bought it for eh?

I shall either sell privately or keep it now! LOL.
