GAME have announced their Xbox 360 Slim trade in deals in which you can hand in your hardware and get a sexy new slim Xbox with a bigger hard drive and built in wifi.

Duh… yeah that sounds like a good idea. While i’m at it i’ll trade my PSP for a game boy colour.

Swapping a PS3 for an Xbox… are you MAADDD!!! :-)
hazelam
i’m furious. :)
Bilbo_bobbins
can’t believe it’s even been mentioned ;-)
Reading elsewhere that the new slim xbox is causing problems with the discs?
hazelam
nobody remember that sketch then?
another line might help.
In order to accommodate the funeral,I’ve had to cancel afternoon school on Wednesday.
:)
anyway, back on topic, i was in game yesterday and saw somebody trading in their ps3, and it sounded like they were planning on getting the slim 360 with the trade in value.
not something i’d consider, i wouldn’t get much for a broken ps3 anyway.
i mean, it looks nice and all and i’d love to have one but, i’d rather have a ps3.

that is quite amusing i wonder how many people do this

boschbourne06
is that the black wii or the white wii ?

Are they serious? What has this world come to? You’ll trade your blue ray player, to an uglier DVD player ? Are you mad?!!!
CaptainMurdo
Nothing about trading in Arcades? Disappointed.

Hmm, I might be able to get rid of my faulty Phat and get a 360!
retsam
I say they are all bad trades for the end user.
…but does this include ylod/rrod bricks? :O
Big Goose
It’s worth a try, I remember a friend trading in his 360 a while ago and they didn’t bother plugging it in to check or anything! hell, even when I traded in MW2 they didn’t even check to see if the disc was in there!
Big Goose
Then again if they did check it and it was rrod/ylod you’d look a right prat!

Or just play it off, like “You broke my PS3!!!” =)

So, more trade-in value for ps3’s than 360’s, that’s interesting.
bunimomike
That actually makes a lot of sense. PS3 is a premium console with hardware features that the Xbox doesn’t have (eg. BluRay).
paxpacis
Well I think they do that to get more people trade in the ps3 and win them over?
TSBonyman
That’s a fair point bunimomike. I guess also the older 360 consoles could be considered out-going technology now the new xbox is here (almost) and that would de-value them also.
