Does EB take PC games as trade-ins? What other trade ins do they take?

 

[galoisky]

Used to take PC games, but no longer due to Gamestop. They also no longer accept NES, SNES, Genesis, and Dreamcast games OR accessories.

My EB takes PC games o_o. Sure you don't have GS and EB confused? I can't remember GS ever taking PC games, but all the EB's near me all take PC trade-ins.

Well, I manage an EB, and PC trade-in values were brought to zero the day Age of Empires 3 came out.

 

[MrDaravon]

Ah, so it's a recent thing. Thank God, my EB has ungodly amounts of shitty shitty PC games they'll probably never dump.

I wish they had given a little warning though. I have stacks of PC games I'll never play again that may have gotten some kind of trade-in value.

It's always funny, though. You buy a console game for $50, take it out of the shrink wrap, and you can immediately get around $30 or more for it.

You buy a PC game for $50, take it out of the shrink wrap, and it aint worth jack shit (except to play, of course. Don't like the game? Too bad)

I suppose this is due to rampant piracy of PC games.

Ain't that the damn truth.
