GAME own Gamestation yet Gamestation offer the best price on trade in's.

Yea we at blockbusters been kicking some gamestation ass on pre-owned, not suprising to see GS come out and change there price structure (even though game own them but we should see game shipping lots of things back and forth to both companies) I be suprised to see how Blockbusters react now (Blockbusters = trend setter)

"Blockbusters = trend setter"

Didnt you guys flog Gamestation to save ur own asses?

nope. gamestation is a money loser, probably the best sale that Blockbuster ever did. Whilst Game have finacially done well with GS and made them a hell of a lot better, Blockbuster on the other hand have restructered there gaming end and made Gamestation, Game scared, if not then there wouldnt be a mention of them at all in this article, im a neutral who just happens to give blockbuster credit for the hard work they have done ever since selling a big company like gamestation

Thats total crap about the blockbuster/gamestation deal, gamestation were propping up blockbuster uk, they sold gamestation because it was the only way they could pay off their multi million pound debts... since the sale blockbuster has had no choice but to pull its socks up and start taking some money...

Yeah, that is a load of nonsense. Blockbuster is crippled with debt - selling off one of its few money-making businesses was about the only option left to it.

Ahmen! Blockys been gettin shafted by all the online rental companies! When the blockys right next to me closed down, the staff there were on about how the company is in major trouble. Gamestation has expanded really well over the years and became a major threat to Game, thats why they snapped them up.

what a load of bull! i have traded in literally THOUSANDS of games and blockbuster is always the WORST for trade in's! i find game and gamestation are much the same and blockbuster and woolies a poor joint 3rd...they all con ya though at the end of the day! Best to sell it on ebay-get far more! As for this 'news'.....our local game and gamestation have been selling those games for those prices for MONTHS! i bought footy manager 2006 for 360 for 99p from Game a couple of months back!

Its coming in Summer 2008 - watch this space...!!! You're wallet is gonna love it!

Best way to get decent trade in prices, is to take advantage of Gamestation's "Price match". Take a printout from CEX (who regularly beat the others by a significant margin on trade-ins) to Gamestation and they will beat CEX's trade-in price by £1.

I found this out recently when I took 2 games to Gamestation, MGS4 and Euro 2008, they were going to give me £17 for the pair. I went to CEX's website, took printouts back with me and got £35 for the pair... a bit of a difference you have to agree.

What this means is that you get the benefit of CEX trade-in prices plus you get new, rather than used games in return.
