Trading in console, controller question

point decay · 11 Nov 2014 at 21:07

Hi

thought i'd go back to my old 360 but never did, so going to trade it in. I no longer have the black controller that came with it (went through a wall), but have a brand new white official controller.

Will this cause a problem when trading it in (being that it's not the original black model), or should it be ok?

TIA

Here is a link

http://www.game.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...e&clickAndCollect=false&storeLocInput=Glasgow

This lists all the games stores in Glasgow.

Now listen very carefully as this part is crucial. There is a device in your house, Some call it a telephone, I prefer to call it a commination's port to the outside world.

Use the above link to find the closest store to you.

Enter the phone number listed next to the closest store to you on your commination's port to the outside world.

Make sure you hold the handset the correct way around - This part is very important.

When the receiver answers with "hello Game Glasgow how can I help you?" Proceed to ask them the question in your OP..

Lastly, good luck OP and be safe, its a scary world out there. But if you follow my advise you should get the answers you are looking for.

No need to thank me.

Is Game a good place to trade-in at the moment. Although my wife isn't happy about the idea, I'm thinking of part-ex'ing my 360 (which my kids currently use since i bought the One) for another Xbox One for the kids. I can then play them at Titanfall and have my ass kicked, I mean, kick some ass.

No, not at all. The same side as always. I even remembered to put my helpful pants on.

Its a good job you didn't thank me! At least you can follow that advice correctly.

No problem!

Not sure what the issue is here? I gave you the most accurate and helpful answer possible, with added humour.

And you accused ME of getting out of the wrong side of bed.

Cheer up old bean

sarcasm/ humour never comes out well on messages . doesn't help when you gave no hint of it in initial posts tbh

That's the thing, you tried too hard to be funny and failed. The end result just made you look a See you next Tuesday.

You get buttons for a games controller especially last gen consoles.

Top tip tell them to match cex trade in price, they will and beat it by £1 on every item you trade in.

Possibly 250GB Model? I've looked at trade-ins for CEX and GAME for something similar (X360 and few games and stuff for a lazy friend) and CEX prices were God-awful in comparison to GAME... Made me laugh really considering I always seem to see CEX being 'bigged' up! I won't deny they do do some good trade-ins, but not in the instance with what I checked up!
