I would never trade in my games to EB or gamestop. I might ebay some of them and get a better price than what ebgame would offer.

I do sometimes. I used to work at that crazy chain and I will never shop there again. That place is crazy. Plus I can find new releases even cheaper than my crappy 15% I used to get thanks to cheapassgamer.com

I used to do it with games I never played anymore but the packrat in me and lazyness stops me now. Often times you can get good deals on trade in promotions though

Only if its a Game I own for a stable emulator(GBA or lower) or if I simply do not like the game and wish to never replay it again. Other then that, I rarely turn in a game unless I'm buying an improvement on it(trading in old version and getting a port on a more easy to play system, or an updated version, like ditching FFX for the international version, or KHII for KHII:Final Mix+)

I tried it once and i never will do it again i did it before the ps3 came out. I turned in about 15-20 games for the ps2 and walked out with 2 USED games for it that i hadnt played. 20 to 2 is not a good ratio.

I used to buy them, play them for the 14 days that I could keep them without not being able to return them, return them, then get more. I'd only keep the ones that I really liked and knew I wanted to keep around, just in case.

I generally rent my games, because I have a subscription to GameFly. If I like a game, though, I can buy it. I think $25 a month for renting an average of 4-5 games a month for 4 different consoles is a much better deal than $30-$50 per game that I'll never play again. Besides, my brother and friends use my subscription and reimburse me part of the subscription price. :P

I would usually get them cheap then sell them to a hobby shop or blockbuster for roughly the same amount in credit.

I usually don't sell my games to those stores anymore they don't sell for much anyway. So it's not such a great deal in my opinion.

No, I have never sold any of my games to any store, and I don't want to. Instead, I usually sell them to my friends.

Nope I don't do it... normally they do "trade in 3 and get (this one) free".... the 3 games cost around $240.... my brother has a wii too... so I'd rather give to him instead

I hardly do it. I recently got 32 dollars for GTA 4 for xbox 360 so i did it. Mainly because i didn't enjoy that game as much as i thought I would.

I traded a few games several years ago but it was hardly worth it. Got like 2-3 bucks a game. I kept my RPGs though haha.

I have never do that. They give to little money for used games. My games are in excellent condition and for me to receive a couple of bucks isn't worth it.

Is the cat in the box alive or dead?

If you open the box, you will know the answer.

You will know the truth.

However, until you open the box, you can claim that the cat is alive, and you can also claim it is dead.
