Gaming Update's CM Boots-Faubert takes a look at the GameStop Holiday 2012 Console Trade-In Promotion, and the extension of its Double Value rewards element being applied to game platforms including the traditional consoles as well as iOS and Android based tablets.
In addition to offering customers double value on gaming device trade-ins for in-store credit, GameStop has subtly hooked the offer to its other holiday and special promotions, including the annual Xbox 360 Holiday Bundle and its GameStop-branded special edition of the upcoming Assassin's Creed III, which includes an additional 30% discount when gamers combine it with their trade-in.
"It would be great if people had to buy more of the thing," says guy who makes money selling the thing.
If they did then collectors wouldn’t be getting f***** over with discless collectors editions
No shock, GameStop is alive because of trading. If they don't have used games on their shelves they are absolutely donezo.
Well of course the GS boss thinks this... that's their bread and butter business. That and funco pops and clothing, though those two were added as a means to supplement the decline in people buying used games or even new games. GS just sucks overall when it comes to gaming. I buy my physical stuff on Amazon or Best Buy.
As for "requiring" disc drives... nah. Not anymore, but i like having them as an option. They had a means back when games actually ran off the discs and were more/less complete. Now they are incomplete and the disc is really an installer with a license to play. If you want to change games you have to take out the disc and put in another. Its more convenient to just use digital. I have been into digital for years now and when the PSPortal comes along i wont even have to go into my game room. I will just play my PS5 from my couch downstairs. I have a bunch of digital installed games to my 5... I'm all set.

At this point in time If I didn't own a PS5 I would have done this in a heartbeat but I had already acquired a PS5 first before I acquired an XBSX.
I'll stick to keeping both. Gamestop though... seems kind of desperate to take in Series X units. What could they be plotting???
I just want some games for my series X I have both since release and after weighing the offerings in PS Essentials to Gamepass I quickly realized I Owned anything of worth in both catalogs. And, the things I didn't I didn't see as justifiable for maintaining both subs.
Since then my series X is a legacy machine that I play my old games on and that's it. 3 years ago I really thought from that Xbox showcase we were going to have some great games by now. Instead, it's just been a lot of meh
Non-playable characters in certain games are meme material, thanks to their foolish behavior. These are the big-budget games with the dumbest NPCs.
Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩
Every Bethesda game and Every Halo game. This list needed to have Cyberpunk somewhere.
Sounds pretty cool.
oh hell to the nawl on this deal...... after all the trade up u still coming out of pocket for something, lets say i want the halo 4 edition console i still wud have to come out at least 250 cuz my system is 4gig with a 320 gig hard drive in it hell nawl so if i take te hard drive will that get double too? nope cuz its not on the list accessories dont get a good return back so no to this whole deal now on the other hand if u have an ipad 3 well u can real good cash i mean credit back 800 is good thas a wiiu plus halo 4 edition console but who is willing to give up their ipad3 for that?
