I work for Game. I 100% know what i'm doing and how to do it correctly. I actually pay attention when this stuff comes down.

100% guranteed can NOT get double the price of a price match.

You ask about T&Cs. Well every single offer game ever does, has one similiarity in their t&c's and that is this. "Offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer"

Price matching is an offer game run, double trade in day is another offer. £5 extra when trading in 2 titles is another different offer. Staff discount is an offer. as i already pointed out, in each of these offers T&C's is the "Offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer" spiel.

you can either price match OR you can get double trade in OR £5 extra trade in when buying. It's not mix and match it's EITHER & OR

The offer hasn't done anything to GAME's image. It's probably not helped the image of the general public though, not looking very bright. T&C's weren't complicated, they were simply double trade in value today, can't be used with other offers.

CeX, hugely underpriced?!?! Lmao!

Let me fix that for you:

Super Mario 3D World £24 last night £40 now.
Mario Kart 8 £15 now £28
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire £20 now £36
Luigi's Mansion £13 now £24
Zelda Majora's mask £13.50 now £27
Mario and Luigi Paper Jam Bros £15 now £28

Yes it's a bit sneaky for them to lower their values overnight but they can offer what they want and they are still pretty decent.

The price on the app will be doubled.

Just a tip for anybody that doesn't know; you can have them put the credit on a giftcard and spend in at GAME Online for some more cheaper prices. Makes this a GREAT deal.


They're still doubling those prices which would put it far beyond what they were offering yesterday (or what CeX is offering today)?

Some people just like to complain about anything :confused:

Seems good as long as they dont drop the values for one day too...

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 (PS4) - £18 trade in plus 72 points.. So, £36?!

So for example I have GTAV on Xbox One in mint condition, they will at the moment give me £16 'Trade In' value so tomorrow they should honour it as £32 ... WOW !!

Amazing deal, as long as you want to spend the credit straight away...

They're rumoured to be in trouble again, and if they're resorting to desperate acts like this all the more reason to be cautious.

Hmmm, I've been hearing that rumour on and off for a while now buddy

Nothing ever seems to materialise

Very tempting 48 for Mario world wii u. Wii u is dead might as well try and get funds for the PS VR

bet they drop values of some games over night

What happens if you ask them to price match CEX? Be great if they added £1 per game and then doubled that!

Terms state the place to price match has to be within a 1 mile radius

Sorry OP but had to vote cold as its not worth it with GAME's pricing. Even getting £32 store credit for GTAV sounds like a good deal, but I could sell on eBay and get around £28 cash after fees and delivery... Then I could spend that in CEX where games are hugely underpriced in comparison to GAME. Ok if you're used to only getting single GAME credit but if you have a CEX, better to go there!

Ooh, been thinking of getting shut of my Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition.

Can't see the special edition on the website, but if I can get 30 quid for Awakening, I'll be happy.

It does seem a bit crackers.

Ooo.... Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash (3DS) £7... so doubled would be £14. Considering I bought the Smyths deal posted here with the Amiibo at £10, it means free Amiibo and £4 profit - ker-ching!

cex games are ridiculously overpriced, that's why they give u a good cash price and trade in price for your games. I can buy equivalent new games cheaper than there used ones most of the time, when it comes to recent titles.

When I hear the trade-in value for some consoles in my local Game store it makes me laugh. The other day a guy bought in a working PS3 console which they tested and would have offered him £30 but because the controller's analogue stick was 'sticking' they wouldn't take it unless he replaced it with one of their second-hand controllers which cost £28, giving him a grand total of £2! Naturally he didn't take it. I would have offered him at least a fiver! :laughing:

Trade in prices dropped last year when they did this promo but still a great time to trade in your unwanted games that trade in for a good value on the double up.

Also the price matching offer can't be used in conjunction with this offer

That is true. But I tend to hang onto credit until they sell something cheap like BlazBlue Chronophantasma Limited Edition for the XB1 that I bought from GAME for £9.99... yet they offer £8 credit atm - doubled and they're already making a loss...

CeX, hugely underpriced?!?! Lmao!

Here's the misc thread about it anyway:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/misc/any-game-credit-gift-cards-look-getting-rid-those-2455224

And from the thread, a newspaper report:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/may/16/game-digital-significant-reduction-credit-insurance-cover

Well, if that's true then it's an amazing deal for sure. I'd trade-in my Wii U copy of One Piece Unlimited World Red but even though I dislike the game I still want to own a physical copy of it.

Seems like people here will either overpraise or overly criticise one or the other company. No balance.

Reading the guardians piece it looks like they will be able to get the insurance. Should get a uptick in sales due to e3. I'm rethinking my sales to them, may just eBay them.

Read the reports deffo seems game's second coming is over. Got £35 voucher to spend will do it by the weekend. Problem is as everyone spends their vouchers in a mad rush this only makes games problem worse as they dont actually gain cash sales.

I dont care as they are overpriced and always have been

Do the trade in prices GAME gives on their website reflect those instore? I was going to nip into GAME tomorrow anyway to grab a copy of Fire Emblem Fates with cash yet Cex down the street have Twilight Princess HD in stock for £20 and GAME say they give £24 so I could buy it at Cex, trade in for double credit and get the game £28 cheaper. Anyone think that would work?

Is this for all stores? Also can't seem to find the page on their website, does anyone have a direct link with the offer in case I need to show them instore?

GAME will not offer you more than what they are selling the title for new or pre-owned.

Managers can do whatever they want. If they dont want a game they can refuse it

I smell a rat. Wouldn't be surprised if they're close to going under again.

Good deal but we never trade in or sell ok if you do though.

Can you spend money from trade ins instore on the Game website at all? They sometimes have deals you can't get in store.

Cex are the most expensive store on the high street by miles，all thier stuff is 2nd hand but costs the same (sometimes more) than New.

I have £121 credit with game. Keeping my ears pinned incase they do go under, il be buying a load of fifa 07s. That would be the smart move, honest

Just checked, they are giving £19 for dark souls 3 so id take £38 if it was offered, only got 2 cheevos left to get, will take me 30 mins max

Can't see this offer anywhere on the website. Any evidence the deal is actually a thing?
I believe the last time they did this there were a few announcements on FB etc, yet there's nothing

EDIT: Each store has sent a tweet out with their terms and conditions for the deal. Some require you to trade them in DURING the england - wales game, most don't though

Yes.

no mention on their site....

So where is this offer? I cant find it on their website and i clicked the get deal button and it just takes you to their website homepage.

I don't think they'd be tweeting about it if it wasn't a thing. I'll definitely be giving them a ring before I go though.

Saw it on the main Game twitter account, haven't seen it on my local one or any info on terms, tweeted my store to ask and will call in the morning before going in. I've got a few games languishing which I haven't got round to yet which will net a tidy sum at double trade in. Save them for xbox one s in August :smile:

They will probably limit the max trade in price to the current selling price for the preowned game. Otherwise you could trade in your game and buy it again with credit to spare. Just something to consider before you start thinking about trading lots in.

Their prices are terrible. I went in today and got shot of Uncharted 4 and NBA 2K16 for cash. Their offers were £20 and £8.80, I used the price match with CEX deal and got £28 and £14. Think they'll drop further for tomorrow and if it is only for trade in costs then I haven't bought from them in years, they're overpriced as hell. Does anyone between the ages of 16-50 buy anything in there?

overwatch ps4 was £25 on wed now £20 so definitely dropping prices. £40 trade in for overwatch is still good tho.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst trade in price before midnight was £32.....now it's dropped to £20 lol

I checked out the trade price of 4 games before midnight and now every single one has been reduced by quite a bit, crafty Game, very crafty.

wonder if you can just match cex, then they will double it...

These things are always "not for use with any other promotion".

you never know - with some employees who don't know/don't care may put it through :stuck_out_tongue:

In my experience, they always need manager approval for price matches, so it's unlikely.

Any proof of this? I traded in Doom for £32 last week and it's currently selling for £29.99...

It depends on the branch/manager; I did the same pricematch yesterday with no problems.

How much you looking for?

Good deal, price dependant, but Game building up their debtor list means one thing significantly...

DOOM was £17 trade in last night, now £14. :-/

Also, any copies of the T&C's for everyone would earn brownie points

​Odd, they gave me £32 for Doom yesterday when they were selling it New for £30..

​Sneaky, you'd be better off getting them to price match CEX for £32.

Why not have the offer on all day? Clashing it with the football seems a bit of an arseholey move.

Yeah its not like they have been in Administration in the last year or two at all

just seen what ive wanted to trade in has gone down but the price for it has gone up on there site

I think we saw this coming...

​Ta. After 1 works for me too :smile:

And I don't think you need any more brownie points

Hmmm.... This is a play to get people into store during the football. All retail suffers during a major football tournament due to everyone watching the games. I don't think I would read too much into it, it's not a sign of the end times ;-)

Other things though do point to hard times ahead for GAME. Unless they get the lending facilities/insurance cover sorted this may have a major impact in quarter 4 - the big Xmas push.

GAME have a cracking ability to ring fence things. Online is separate to instore for example. They have
diversified greatly (Multiply acquisition, Ad Reality stake, this big event they are having this year). All this will cost them a few bob which they won't recoup. But, I wouldn't be surprised if they still have a chunk of market share.

They are going to have a tough time with the Summer drought of games, which will put them further on the back foot. But they will survive Xmas on the promise of they are the only bricks and motor retailer of video games really? It will be early next year they will be in the serious do-do.... Just like last time March/April when things could go over the edge.

GAME will become 'online only' that is my prediction.

Anyone know today's trade in price for lathe division for ps4 ? Cheers

uncharted 4 £25 trade yday now £20, do you think they accept the steelbook only without the special ed items?

Should probably edit the title to say its only for reward card holders and only after 1pm or you may have a lot of disgruntled people who went down there at 9am without a card lol

I bet they wont match with cex tomorrow saying not in conjunction with any other offer etc.

It'll be one or the other, GAME aren't daft. They will match CEX or the will double their own price. GAME will not lose out on this deal.

GAME make their money selling pre-owned, not new. Regardless of what the trade in price was or is.... I wouldn't be surprised to offset this deal you will have seen the price of pre-owned games increase. That is how they can offer it.

Almost certainly. Why would they match CEX, add £1, and then double the total? That would be silly. This offer means they are beating CEX prices (mostly).

Can instore credit be used online?

Re Game's future: Strikes me that if you go into administration and get rescued, you need to have a plan to get your customer back into the brick-and-mortar stores.

That means price matching your competitors, INCLUDING major online retailers e.g. Amazon. Reality is that, as big a convenience as online shopping has become, I think we do still (to a certain extent) miss face-to-face interaction and a more personal level of service.

The big issue is that Game:

a. Has not taken any steps to increase cash flow- we can see this through the ludicrous price scheme they've got. They're pricing themselves out of business with stubborn, archaic valuations.

b. Is selling pre-owned games at prices for which you can buy the same game new & sealed online. Says to me that they're a rip-off company and provide no value for money.

c. Has not brought customers back in-store at all. If you go on their website, prices online are massively different to their in-store prices. £41 for a black Dualshock 4 control online, yet £49.99 in-store. Again, tells me they're a company that tries to pull a fast one.

d. Does not price match online retailers. Let's consider the following: Game sells GTA V (PS4) for £49.99 new. Amazon sells the same at £32. If I'm not willing to match that price but I'm still selling mine at a stupid price, I'm hardly going to shift any copies. Meanwhile, everyone else is buying at £32. If I price match, people may very well come into store and buy from me (see face-to-face interaction above). Then they see the selection of other console games, maybe preowned games (if we get our act together and stop ripping off the customer) and suddenly "Hey, Game price matched Amazon and have some great preowned prices too!" Word of mouth, people in store, "maybe Game isn't so bad after all". Now sure, if I match £32 I'm technically making a £17 loss on every copy I sell. But I'm also making a £32 income each time too- if I don't price match and my copies aren't selling, I've got a bulk collection of £49.99 not going anywhere, and still on my books.

Unfortunately Game have got it all wrong. They've taken their rescue for granted and haven't learned a damn thing. Sad, but think such a poor business attitude is deserving of what it gets.

You aren't going to get the time back that it took to type that out.......

Good! I'm at work right now- killed a nice bit of time :wink:

hey they dont require the items just case and disc

So if i trade in fifa 16 its currently £14 i will get £28? thats ridiculous. im all over that if thats the case.

BTW my local has just tweeted the double trade in and nowhere does it say from 1pm. the terms & conditions small print are the same bar the 1pm - 5pm bit on the one above. So might be worth checking as different stores may have different times.

​C - overheads

Rest I agree with...mostly

no £14 is what you will receive the trade in price was £7 :smirk:

oh ok so the trade in prices that show on the site are the ones you get, i thought those were doubled :disappointed: thats a shame

according to the manager in the Metrocentre branch yeah

I don't think that's right... Can't be sure but the cash price has not doubled, only trade in. So use that as a guide. Using fifa as an example its nearly £10 cash on ps4 and £12 trade in, so I'd expect £24 trade in using the offer today.

no, the trade-in price using the App or the website says £14... so the store will give you £28.

That can't be right, Doom was £17 yesterday and now it is £14, They can't have reduced it to £7 as only trade in credit is doubled and they are still offering £11.20 cash..

Hmmm that's an interesting one.... Does the price checker give you the already doubled price?

Maybe they have and it makes people think they are getting a good deal when thy aren't.... A cunning ploy? ;-)

Any chance of the extra fiver being thrown in too on double trades? Destiny is currently £3, making £6 if doubled. If I add another game to that then do I still get the extra fiver?

Prob not but still a reasonable way to ditching hard-to-trade online games

It's also not just during the footy. Game bullring tweeted it was just during the Football but then tweeted this a short while later:



The main account says it is a day and doesn't mention the footy.

Yeah the GAME store in Birmingham Bull Ring closes down tomorrow.

Edit - Just talked to the Game_bullring people on Twitter and fortunately the thing on the game app was a false alarm, they're not closing.

Really? Where did you hear that.

I've just popped in my local shop=
(Bath) and they've confirmed it's all day today....
Might pick up gta 5....yes it's £32 but they'll give me £40 for uncharted!

Wrong, if they cant scan it they wont give anything. Would have to be a complete version

Nope, I just phoned my local store and asked "if the app says £16 for GTA does that mean I'll get £32 added to my account?"

Store "yup"

I also asked my store about time restrictions and he said it was certain stores but ALL of Scotland is double trade in ALL day (probably cos we arent in the Euros :disappointed: )

Yes that was tweeted by the game I linked to but they then tweeted the image above an hour later.

My most local one only tweeted the whole day one and the website just says one day only, doesn't mention specific times.

Groovy

Been reading a few comments, is the app/site pricing already doubled or will the price be doubled in store?

I'll be all over this like a dog on hot chips as well have a sack full of 360 games.

Cheeky Gits.

Super Mario 3D World £24 last night £20 now.
Mario Kart 8 £15 now £14.
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire £20 now £18
Luigi's Mansion £13 now £12
Zelda Majora's mask £13.50 now £13.50 (stays the same)
Mario and Luigi Paper Jam Bros £15 now £14

The price on the app will be doubled.

Just a tip for anybody that doesn't know; you can have them put the credit on a giftcard and spend in at GAME Online for some more cheaper prices. Makes this a GREAT deal.


They're still doubling those prices which would put it far beyond what they were offering yesterday (or what CeX is offering today)?

Some people just like to complain about anything :confused:

Worth it to get me a new 3DS! Just need to find the time to get down there!!!

Nightmare.. keep hold of them mate, this double trade in deal isnt going to be worth it for you :neutral_face:

So is this price the doubled price already?

no.

NO!

This isn't the first time they have done this promo.

love the bold NO... :sunglasses:

I dont understand what is so difficult for people to understand! The trade in price on the APP or on the WEBSITE is say £10... this means the store will give you £20 as trade-in credit.

Its quite simple really.

Exactly, that poster is getting those prices DOUBLED yet still calls them cheeky??? :confused:

England came kicks off at 2. I'll be at my local for 1 should be back in time for the gane

Let me fix that for you:

Super Mario 3D World £24 last night £40 now.
Mario Kart 8 £15 now £28
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire £20 now £36
Luigi's Mansion £13 now £24
Zelda Majora's mask £13.50 now £27
Mario and Luigi Paper Jam Bros £15 now £28

Yes it's a bit sneaky for them to lower their values overnight but they can offer what they want and they are still pretty decent.

It was a notification on the app a few days ago, saying my chosen GAME store which was the bullring one was closing and the nearest would be in Sutton Coldfield many miles away. Fortunately I talked to the twitter team and they've told me that was a false alarm and they're not closing

It's just that you said it was not worth it, like the price was to low even though its pretty good, will get roughly £30 for each game, some i paid less than £10 for.

So wait, is this from 1pm or not? Seems to be conflicting info. Hot either way though.

Does this work on consoles?

Just been in my local game. They new nothing about it but I told them to look on their twitter account. The staff was very helpful and found it. I got £4 for pes 15 £28 for dead pool. So do I buy doom or battlefront star wars and fall out 4

Game HO have confirmed with me offers changed now applies ALL DAY

Star wars is useless unless you get the season pass as well.

Have the prices on the app already been doubled? Or is it double those prices?

Don't they have a new dlc space battle

The price on the app will be doubled.

Just a tip for anybody that doesn't know; you can have them put the credit on a giftcard and spend in at GAME Online for some more cheaper prices. Makes this a GREAT deal.

So there isn't any catch?:confused:

Will game accept just discs?

I was being sarcastic :smiley:

You were complaining about them lowering trade in value by £1 yet they are going to give you double that figure... hardly cheeky :smiley:

Just been into Game Milton Keynes, traded some ps3, ps4, 3ds and xbone games at £130 on the app for £260 and put down my £20 deposit for the xbox one s, thanks op! Seriously reduced my backlog and got more than I would have from cex or selling privately.

A note to all those bitching about game lowering trade in prices overnight.

Game change their trade in prices every Thursday, so there's nothing untoward going on here.

I'm currently off to game with about £1200 of trade in, so I am very very happy about this and don't mind if I miss the football.

Hope the company's still trading in a couple of months. Personally I wouldn't want to hang on to a couple of hundred quid's worth of Game credit. You'll probably be fine, but there's a definite risk.

Despite them dropping prices, and the confusion as to what time the offer is on, it's a great deal - if there's something you want to buy from the store (and lets be honest here, we're mainly talking consoles here, as their game prices are usually silly).
Heat added.

is it double on cash or just trade in?

Heat, just got £70 for a load of crap I don't play. Beware they only give you this offer if you ask for it, which is pretty crap for anyone trading today that doesn't know about the offer!

​I've read the articles etc and appreciate there's a little risk but I'm optimistic. I'd say I'll be keeping an eye on it but I won't tbh as I don't want to tempt fate lol. Roll on August! :smiley:

So it turns out (in the worcester branch anyway) this advertisement was a complete farce. Hope someone else had some better luck!

Trade in all your old unwanted games, get it on a gift and save it for the Xbox one s! Unless you have to buy on the day :/

Maybe go back and point it out to them on the game website and app?

Just trade

I don't think they do.

If they still fob you off call Game customer services

Is this definitely all day? At work and local closes at 1900.

I know those **** will try anything not to cough up


*** LMAO quality, you check the site for the T&C and the website keeps crashing!

Apparently it's only on till 5pm

Edit sorry just read original post, it's all day

NBA 2K15 is £6 at CEX. Game will give £12 for this today. = £6 profit! :smile::smile:

Does anybody know if game will accept 3ds xl for double trade in value or is it games only?

​Exactly what I did. You don't have to spend it all today and the deal is all day. Now have £300 on my gift card (£280 actual as they deducted £20 deposit for the 2tb one S).

They're blagging you mate, I just went to Redditch and they offered me £35, after pointing out the offer posted on twitter they doubled it to £70

I can't see them doing this in my branch either.

Just been to game bootle, got shot of dark souls 3 and rare replay for £36 and £12 each. Not bad, last night dark souls 3 was £19 trade in so they only dropped it by £1

The guy also said it was a promotion whilst england are in the tournament so if people cant get down today dont despair. He was certain they would do it again, also the 1_5pm thing was scrapped because obviously people would be watching the match instead

Anyhoo im bored now, cya

Nope, price on the app £35, I got £70 in store

Just traded in a load of games! Damn it!

I'll see how I fair this afternoon when I pop in. Reading the comments it seems store-dependent and will only be possible if you mention it.

Hopefully more people are having success with this. Helpful staff is always good but I know that can vary per branch.

Can you use both credit and/or gift cards on the GAME website?

Anyone know of any older 360 or ps3 games that get a decent price?

If you trade in the Masterchief collection today you get £12 you can then buy the digital code from cdkeys.com for £7.49 :smiley:

I've just handed in app worth of £48.50 and got £97. I had them put it on my account so I can decide later what I want only got to wait 24 hours. Nothing to great in store on sale.

just spoken to the customer service main desk and they have said stores are only meant to be applying this to Xbox One and PS4. This changes a lot for me so I'm glad I asked before going down to mine.

Yes, you can use both game wallet and gift cards on the game website.

Also doom 2016 is £30 in game. Cex give 27/31 for it

that does change a lot acutally be intresting to see if any more say that

if you read what sm182 said you'll realise that he said the price on the app is doubled. sheesh

well i have now decided i don't want some of my xbox one games so im going down to get 120 in trade in

Cleared out a lot of my Wii U games, it's great that they hold their value so well.

Now to wait for the NX announcement and hope GAME don't go bust this Christmas.

So you can buy doom for £30 then immediately give it back to them for £62???

Just been in the Croydon store. They also price matched CEX for me, and gave me an extra pound for the ones they matched. Went in thinking I'd get maybe £50 tops, somehow ended up with £85 credit!

Definitely worth price matching CEX if you can.

Great deal - just traded in some games for elite controller

Your a star op xx

Customer service has given you inaccurate information. Reading through the posts here users have already traded in games from a variety of formats.

Furthermore it says on GAME's own Twitter the formats they cover. It sounds like the person in customer service gave you an easy answer rather than the correct one.

very happy just traded in a bunch for £270 guy even said if I pre order or buy anything u get double the value in points as well so even had just over £5 in points added as well.

86 quid for uncharted 4 and last of us PS4 plus a few spare 360 games. Nice trade in price as I bought uncharted for 43 at launch and got 40 trade in value , not bad! Cheers OP, got steam credit with it ready for the sale

Took in games ive not played for momths gathering dust
£123 :smiley:
£22 for fifa 16 was impressed with that

Very rude staff in my store, they were not happy at all about doubling up on trade in but eventually agreed.

Had to show my staff at game Sheffield the tweet but they were more than helpful when they saw it :smiley:

Just checked the Belfast store. Would only double up for Xbox one and Ps4.

I traded in the following earlier, and received £336 store credit.

PS4
Rainbow Six: Siege - £20
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection - £24
Grand Theft Auto V - £30
Dark Souls III - £38
LEGO Jurassic World - £18

Wii U
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - £20
Pikmin 3 - £24
Super Mario Maker - £32
Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush - £20
LEGO City Undercover - £16

3DS
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - £34
Hyrule Warriors Legends - £32
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon - £30

Far Cry 4 £14, Shadow of Mordor £12, Wolfenstein: The New Order £8, BF Hardline £10, FIFA 16 £24.

Awesome deal :smiley: Forgot to bring my 3DS games (Pokemon Y £32 and Professor Layton: Miracle Mask for £10!!) but quite happy with what I've got.

​this became apparent after I decided to just go down and ask them. they are going based on the twitter Info luckily. i checked three times with customer services and three different people confirmed the twitter info was incorrect. lucky for us I guess :smiley:

Staff in my store had leaflets up around the till area + senior sales staff was holding a clipboard with all info on about this promotion so more than likely stores are trying to get out of it.

I got bumped! my walthamstow branch said double trade ins for E3 releases only :confused:

This is a offer they are doing and it's for the whole day and the offer is only on when England play that day so offer will be on again on the same day as England play again.

Yes so one more day.lol

Has anyone traded in a console with this offer? Or is just for games? Can't find a definitive answer so far and would love to get rid of my Wii U if I get £180 for it!

how much more definitive than the post earlier

Got £149 on a gift card.

Not after anything at the mo. Let's hope game stay alive. Want to spend my credit on the NX

It's actually NOT all day it's between 13:00 & 17:00

Yep great deal especially when you get a cashier who aint a clue,without asking priced matched all mine so instead of the 40 i worked out i got 55,

Don't bother, GAME are hopeless and overpriced on everything.

Just been down local shop and got myself £68 quid for my old PS4 games. Stuck it on my reward card and will order online for more bargins. Can confim that the online and Apps price is just the standard prices at will be doubled at the till.

No advertising for this offer in my local Game store (Birkenhead), asked at the till and the guy there knew about the offer and was happy enough to double up my trade ins. I did this before 1pm too so any time limits may be store specific. Got a fair bit more for my unwanted games than I paid for them so even with Game's generally higher prices I think this is a great deal, cheers op.

Can't do that, tell them to look at Ts&Cs , it's xb1/360 PS3/4 Wii u and 3ds games

Its actually not.

I was there at 12:10pm today. Got £95 worth of trade-ins.

Bluewater tweeted it's on all day at their store

https://twitter.com/GAMEBluewater/status/743335010741063680

What I want to know is whether you get an extra £5 on top (possibly doubled?) if two XB1 titles are traded in...

https://twitter.com/GAMEBexleyheath/status/742668669583527936

Thats the spirit.

yeah I know, I was showing the previous poster that it was for games only and not consoles :smiley:

I didnt. manager told me it was either or. The T&Cs of the £5 offer say something about not being used in conjuction with another offer.

I didn't push it as I was delighted to be getting double trade-in for games I'd had lying around :smiley:

Cheers buddy for the clarification! Much obliged :doffs cap:

I was going to use the credit towards Fire Emblem Fates... but it's currently £24.95 in thegamecollection's flash sale lol

Why do I only find out about this now, when my nearest store is nearly an hour away? Got a load of stuff I've been meaning to trade in for months :disappointed:

It might not be for you with your numpty headed staff members in your local bud but it is everywhere else. Even says on their twitter ffs

Is hardware included in this offer?

Went in and they ignored it until shown on their website. Managed to get £160 and the Special Edition of Doom for £50 :wink:

Sold a bunch of games and got £250, sweet!:smile:

It was originally meant to be while the footie was on but got switched to all day, hence the confusion.

No guy said the £5 double is a different deal but said if you buy or pre order anything while trading in you get double the reward points in value back.

I just went into the Bon Accord Store in Aberdeen. No posters up. Had to ask staff member serving me, who thought it was for double points. She then checked and got manager to do it for me - £25 doubled to £50!

CEX still offer more on DOOM so pricd match can still be better. Still worth checking to compare if you have a CEX nearby.

So I misunderstood a poorly written sentence, sheesh! To clarify, in store they will double the price shown on the app

Went in to my local game, mentioned twitter deal , no probs, handed in xbox one , ps3, xbox 360 , ps4, 3ds games.
Nice friendly staff, chatted about E3, got double the price, left store with gift card, thanks op.

No need to clarify, it was quite comprehensible before. :smiley:
Here it is:-
"The price on the app will be doubled"

I fail to see how this is a poorly written sentence that clearly states the price on the app will be doubled?

uncharted collection £26 Mario & Luigi dream bros £22 star fox 3ds £10 professor layton 3ds £10

Not too bad.

I was thinking seriously about trading in One Piece Unlimited World Red (Wii U version) but only £16.00? They've gotta be kidding! That'd be £32.00 in total of trade in but not worth it then, I'd still have to pay £12.99 left (for Zelda Breath of Fire). Whatever, it's a collector's game anyway so I can't in good conscience get rid of it.

Knack, Siege, Diablo III - £52

I could rebuy those and turn a profit (if I wanted)...

Awesome deal :smile:
My only regret is that I sold Fallout for £14 a few days ago. I'm thinking that would have been another £20+

surely worth buying a ton of games from cex, you could basically double your money. Hell you could even buy from Game's preowned games.

Not really

The thought did cross my mind.

Then I realised it's only 'making money' if you want something expensive from Game now/soon. It's never the brightest idea converting money to store credit for long-term use - plenty of people have lost out in recent years to a variety of retailers hitting financial trouble and ditching all store credit.

TBH I suspect they announced this at short notice, with the promotion running for just 4 hours, in order to make it difficult for people to buy cheap games to trade in. You'd have to be on the ball and pretty organised to make a significant amount.

apparently this only applies to newer games. tried to sell some really old ps3 games but they refused to do it.

I bought 2x NBA 2k15 from CEX (£6 each), went straight to GAME where I made £12 profit (sold for £12 each).

Thanks OP. Got £66 store credit after trading in Fallout 4 on Xbox One for £16 (which I got for free), Madden NFL 16 on Xbox One for £26 (which I paid £3 for) and two copies of NBA 2K15 on Xbox One for £24 (which I paid £12 for).

Will go perfectly for E3 announcements :smiley:

Context - what were the games?

I bought a few games from Smyths - NBA 16 and Madden 16 were £15 and £10, trade-in value of £26 each. Worth using the GAME app scanner (assuming that this offer happens again).

I sold mw3 only got £1 for it

​heavy rain, beyond two souls, little big planet and motorstorm

Seems weird, especially the first two. There was probably a reason they just didn't disclose.

My local in Cambridge hadn't been briefed on it, no poster's up or anything but luckily one of the colleagues knew, the one that served me had no clue, so i did get it which is the main thing but felt made to look a bit of an idiot, also got told it was originally 2-4 then they changed it as they knew no one would be in. O btw, don't trust the in stock tracker on the game website, had to pay an extra fiver for the mewtwo amiibo card pokken tournament as they didnt have the original yet website said they did.
Still, traded in unwanted stuff(apart from hyrule warriors, but will re-buy for the price i originally payed) got one game i had an interest in and one i really wanted, caught the whole of the England game, via pub then home and it being a victory has equaled a fantastic day, got a bit wet though from the rain haha XD

​they said it wasn't worth their time doubling 50p to £1. but I would've got a whole £10 was more than happy with that actually

​Yea I had the twitter post that mentioned all games but still refused. Said the best they could do was price match CEX.

Thanks for posting this deal, Saxo.
My son was looking to trade-in an unopened PS4 Ratchet & Clank game yesterday but offered only £14. He's soooo glad he didn't accept - got £28 today!!

What a great deal. Last week I bought uncharted 4 for £32, today got £40 back for it. Cant moan. In total I got £177 what a great deal. HOT HOT HOT

Good deal but taking into account games undervalued trade in prices and overpriced retail prices this just about brings things to where they should be.

How Game are still trading I don't know. I suspect the only people shopping their these days are unsuspecting parents that don't know any better.

Cheerss for the deal op only got £46 today for 2 games as traded in most of them last week :-* o well better than nothing and now have £90 to spend in my wallet (could of had around £110 I'd waited)

Just spent 3 hours in my local store trying to get this sorted. Had a bunch of PS4 and a few 360 games to trade in. First time I went in I was told the offer wasn't running as there was nothing on the till to put it through and probably to do with their being a CEX near by. Called customer service and was told to go back to store as they had called through and should be sorted now. Went back in and told that it was only available for teams that were playing in the Euro's so wasn't applicable in Scotland (which the communications they had in store backed up in fairness). Then went on Web Chat with customer service and was told it was U.K. wide and to go back to the store again. Went in with my print outs of the conversation and they accepted that but still couldn't process it through the till. They were on hold with their helpdesk for 90 minutes trying to talk to someone to get a process for it. After that they just did a price override on the till and I ended up getting about £190 which I used to buy an Xbox One. The staff in the store were all really nice, friendly and helpful and had been badly let down by their Marketing and Processes team. No comms at all. Apparently a lot of the Scottish stores are having the same issue.

Has this worked for Vita games by any chance?

I made £110 for games I barely touch (got vouchers, plus last of us remastered for £20). Made a profit as long as I actually find something to spend it on..

Almost got doom on PC as it was £28, will have a think and if I'm still unsure just pre-order something

Yeah, I got £16 for Persona 4, but it will probably depend on the store/person who serves you.

oh, and cheers, saxo, got £250 worth of XB/Sony/Nintendo credit. Probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't posted it, much appreciated.

Thanks for posting saxo_appeal! I don't have Twitter, so wouldn't have known about this offer. Got loads of credit for trading in games that I haven't played for ages. I'm sure many others appreciate your efforts for posting :smiley:

I did, they said it was fake.

GAME Newcastle have been hammered by this - I just cleared out my XB1 "games I never play" collection and got £216 from CeX (for 8 copies of doom!) - what an offer!

I just took a mixture of Xbox one 360 PS3/4 games to Huddersfield store, all fine.. I got £311 trade haha.

Wish I'd seen this earlier :confused:

Is that store credit or cash?

Cash! I'm also reluctant to ever hold onto GAME credit after what happened before so I immediately swapped my credit for games to take for cash to CeX.

Just make sure they scan all your games through :laughing: quoted my pile of shame at £170 initially instead of £242. Interestingly, they also took my european/american region games which they had refused on previous trade-ins

DO THEY DOUBLE CEX's price?

IS THIS JUST FOR GAMES???

I was told it's double reward points only not doubling the price of the game trading in?

Sold plenty of Wii u and 3DS games. got £280, gonna use the credit when i want a game from game which is exclusive(exclusive edition). hopefully before they flop haha.

CEX are giving £31 each for DOOM and Uncharted 4. Did game pricematch and double so you could get £62 for either? Anyone experienced that or just there standard price doubled which is ok.

But this way you could just buy DOOM from them for £29.99 and sell it back and get £62 store credit = a £32 profit.

As I saw some one arguing after they had already sold there Doom and Uncharted that they could have got £62 each but as the transaction was done they said they couldnt match CEX now, if the customer had told them before they would have done that. I was the thinking the cashier was just saying that. But would be good to know.

I got £28 for Ratchet and Clank maybe could have got £40 as store credit if they were matching CEX. You live and learn

As in the price on the app will already have been doubled. Don't see the point in your tittle tattle, what exactly are you attempting to achieve? The deal is hot, I was informing someone that they will get double the price that is stated on the app. Not quite sure how any of the conversation affects or involves you, move on and troll someone else

lol same here, the guy was confused, he was not aware of the deal until I called for the manager and told him its for today only double price,

Can you tell them to match with CeX and then trade it in double

They matched a few of my games with cex

e.g £14 cex then £24 when doubled??

People at mine said its either price match cex or get the double trade in

I suspect this is because they are in trouble again, so increasing their holding stock adds value to the business (easier to get credit) and also makes people turn their credit over by buying instore

​no wouldn't price match cex and double it. just doubled there price tryed it today

Reading through this thread, I think the general consensus is that Game are bad at communicating their offers!

Or is that the stores have obviously seen the offer but are trying to wriggle out of paying double which will lower their profits per shop

Either way I think this has been very poorly dealt with and communicated badly, I'm glad though most of you have made some extra cash :smiley: well done everyone

Good maths there

Reading through this thread it seems some people are thick, asking same old questions lol, not you btw

My local was useless. They were aware of the offer but their 'System' wasn't giving double trade in on anything, more than likely they didn't wish to provide the offer. They seemed to focus more on price matching CEX. Poor customer service again, won't be going back again anytime soon.

Just got a load of credit that should pay off my Xbox One S purchase.

But CEX always smells of stink bombs and Chavs.. and they always play unbearable dubstep music REALLLY loud.
i'd rather spend more money elsewhere than step foot in those CEX chav centres.

you're f***ing joking. I literally just traded in NFS 2015 Tuesday for 14 quid. Fuming. Hope this lot go under

A certainty, they would kill themselves otherwise.

How the hell did I miss this?!?! :disappointed:

Because you missed out? Great thinking :neutral_face:

Did any1 trade in Fifa 16, Nathan drake collection or batman Arkham knight on ps4?
If so what price did u get?
Thanks

Use the game app, scan barcode, and it displays the price.

The price on the app is the price you get BEFORE they double it..

Maybe thats what they say when you try doing it. The cashier guy told a customer after they had traded in that they could do that but they should have asked them before. Which understandably made the customer angry. I dont know why the cashier guy would lie - that just spites a person off.

Did any one manage to get them to double the CEX trade in price?

The sales guy was saying they could have double CEX price BUT that was after the trade in was complete, as mentioned before they said should have done it before.

Where are the actual T&C of the offer?

I feel this promotion has just made GAME's image as a company an enemy then a friend. A lot of people seem upset.

Thx - traded in a bunch of old games

The game I went to didn't mention the offer at all and when I asked if they were doing any offers, the said they're only doing the trade two games and get an extra £5 credit. Then I loaded the game website and showed the double trade credit offer as advertised and were like "Oh yea there is that offer, we completely forgot, sorry". Its so lame and appalling how workers, people are forced to lie and deceive just to meet store targets.

Shame this was instore only - haven't had a chance and got so much crap I'd have traded in!

traded in a few games, pritty sure i got more than i paid aswell :O have had a look, with the 100% bonus it looks like the amount you get is the same amount they sell for... i get what they trade to do but maybe it was to generous?

no complaints on this end though!

also, could somebody point me in the direction of some of this 'game are going under' evidence? this half of the year they made about £18million after tax. yes its a fall on profit but its still a profit?

Cheers, got £40 for some games I'd never play again and then used that to buy the PSN credit at the till

I work for Game. I 100% know what i'm doing and how to do it correctly. I actually pay attention when this stuff comes down.

100% guranteed can NOT get double the price of a price match.

You ask about T&Cs. Well every single offer game ever does, has one similiarity in their t&c's and that is this. "Offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer"

Price matching is an offer game run, double trade in day is another offer. £5 extra when trading in 2 titles is another different offer. Staff discount is an offer. as i already pointed out, in each of these offers T&C's is the "Offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer" spiel.

you can either price match OR you can get double trade in OR £5 extra trade in when buying. It's not mix and match it's EITHER & OR

The offer hasn't done anything to GAME's image. It's probably not helped the image of the general public though, not looking very bright. T&C's weren't complicated, they were simply double trade in value today, can't be used with other offers.

Hi mate, thanks for posting

Is there anyway you can explain why some Game shops didn't know about this offer, surely all stores up and down the country should have received a memo?

Do you think some stores were trying to shy away from this offer and do you know if this deal will happen again during the Football?

I went onto live chat before going instore as I didn't wanna be wasting my time, confirmed for me what games formats were included and also that matching against cex depends on how near a cex store was.

I got £22 altogether for fifa 16 standard edition

tbh, that doesn't sound like lying and deceiving to screw the consumer or meet targets. sounds more like them trying to save face. not unfair to say, it's a little embarrassing to be told of an offer you're unaware of, they're trying to save themselves looking the fool.

game told store managers of this offer yesterday night, it's a spur of the moment thing. plus add in the fact it's not like they've not got plenty to do, it's not ordinary, etc etc. and unfortunatly every company has duds working for them :P

as for meeting targets, this is exists to blow away targets, it's e3 week, what game wants more than anything is preorders, they want more preorders this week than any other. go back through the posts, alot of folks put down orders for xbox slim or ps:vr, gow elite etc this offer is to drive preorders up & it would of.

As others as well as I have pointed out, on numerous occasions, if the app stated your trade in value was (and lets use my own experience as an example) £47.50 when you arrived at the store today, like I did, it was then DOUBLED to £95.

There was no ambiguity in any of my, and others posts, the price on the app will be doubled (in store).

Simple.

​So you work for game and basically called the public thick sorry mate. But. You seem a bit. Of a **** and I'm glad I don't go to your store you would be over that counter faster than you realised

yeah im with you man... lets hope hundreds of people lose their jobs cos you lost out on £14 worth of store credit.

Genuinely believe this is a case of some stores innocnetly not knowing, less than 24 hours notice, you get a **** tonne of commes down everyday, today this wasn't the only offer/adjustment of other offer, or new info. it was just another piece. every store relays this info differently some through print outs some though chats etc.

hard for most of you to believe, but for staff this wouldn't of been a big deal, just another offer. It's easy to forget about an offer that lasts a day when you got a tonne of other others and info to know. and it's E3 week, the only week of the year game employees have alot of homework to do.

trust me on this no store would of intentionally not talked about this offer...unless you're purpetually a **** to them :P as mentioned in another post, this genuinely helps us meet targets. stores that weren't so aware will likely get a bolloking tomorrow, cause they wouldn't of done as well as those that pushed the offer.

no idea if they'll do it again tbh.

you'd pull him over the counter due to you being unable to read simple T&Cs? Did you just get deported from Marseille?

Ok bud, thanks for info and replying :smiley:

Lol ok my sarcasm wasn't detected, more due to my poor writing than anything else......

BUT in all seriousness, I keep reading about GAME being in trouble again. If they're going to do genuinely decent value things like this, they need to advertise it better.

I'm glad they did this actually because if they're drumming up support in getting people GAME credit, I'd like to think that means they're not going under anytime in the near future. Maybe the announcement of the XBONE S and Scorpio has mean't they're going to stick around.

Nothing wrong with expecting a level of common sense from people. Go read the previous 10 or so pages and make a case for the usage of common sense. this is not remotely complicated.

You're obviously not particually bright yourself if your first thought is resort to violence. thus proving my point.

If you and others act in such a neanderthalic way in public it's no wonder you're not told about these sort of things.

All stores did receive notice explaining this was on - more than likely some managers either missed it or just weren't paying attention. A shame, but i believe it was probably innocent more than anything else. This promotion is good for stores - gets people in, gets preowned stock, gets people credit to spend on stuff in store like deposits. No reason not to do it from a managers perspective.

​That's a good idea. gonna go buy 3 copies of doom tomorrow with my £90 if the prices are that same as I'd rather have the £81 in cash

Thanks for advising everyone. I was going my the idiot that works in my local GAME looks like he didnt have the same training as you.

5 Wii U games plus Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank for £194 store credit! Thanks for post and now for biggest problem......what to buy? :wink:

Traded 56 games for £518.60 store credit, for some reason Far Cry 4 for ps3 quadrupled in price giving me £24!

Bah missed this due to being stuck at work, ah well always next time :/

Well bought 3 copies of doom. He let me buy the preowned ones for £26.99 each then cashed them in a cex today. What a deal cash for old crappy games and not having to use the credit on overpriced game stuff

Stock checker shows pre-owned copies being £29.99?

Think it's due to them being the same price as new and the bloke said he could discount them. I've got the receipt here saying that it's 10% off on each one.

this was very hot. Traded in Deadpool PS3 for £18 with a couple of others for another £6 and got Watchdogs, AC Rogue, Last of Us and Rage in return (with an extra £10).

For something that was just going to otherwise sit on my shelf depreciating in value this was a cracking deal.
