Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
I tend to trade in used games more often as well.. I don't like trading in new $60 games because i feel as I've been ripped if I'm already trading games in i just purchased.
I've personally not felt up to trading in games. I traded in Gears because I was tired of it and I knew I'd get something in return, but other than that...it just goes to charity. I feel better about it.
Also, Semantic Poetry, this post is really more suited for the forums. If you have a question with no real direction beyond stimulating discussion, please post it there. If you want to post it here, please give us your perspectives and a few paragraphs (and maybe a picture). How many games do you trade in? What do you think is the deciding factor in this? What would you like to see developers do? Make sure to expand your simple question into a full post next time.
I traded in a bunch of games a few weeks ago towards Rock Band and most of the games were only worth 1-2 dollars. The only ones that were actually worth anything were Gears of War and Command and Conquer 3, and even then those 2 were only worth $15 and $11 respectively.
I ended up getting $110 for 17 games, and thats only because they had the extra %30 towards RB and an extra $10 for 2 360 games.
I generally trade in games when I feel I'm done with the gameplay. This usually corresponds to maybe one or two games every couple of months or so. It usually boils down to length, more than anything else. I guess, more than anything else, I'd like to see developers make the gameplay experience a little longer.
Thanks for the heads up, I'm still a little uncertain about how things work here. :)
Love your icon!
$60? That's not bad for Halo and 4 GBA games. Although the tax issue doesn't really crop up here in the UK
