No matter what game systems you own, I bet at some point you have had a game or many games that you no longer wanted and no longer use. Most people go into town and trade these games in for one they want. This seems like a great idea because you are getting a new game for a game that you dont want,but when you get home you realize that you have just paid £30 cash and given them a game that cost you £40 when u first bought it, for the game you wanted. Not such a good deal after all. Infact, you were just ripped off! You have just spent £70 on 1 game! Even if you traded a game that only cost you £20 when you originally bought it, you will get a lot less for it when you trade it in. With game shops you really don't get the best price on trade-ins at all!

At Game Swap this will not happen. ALL Nintedo Wii and DS gamers can trade ANY game plus only £5 payment for ANY game that is currently available for that system. Even brand new games!

So why are people still getting ripped off by high street stores when Game Swap is obviously a mush better deal?

Well, now you know about Game Swap, why not use it the next time you want to trade a game? I like to save lots of money, don't you?

Game Swap is currently for the Wii and DS but will soon be available for the PS3 too and the price for trades will still only be £5 each game.

Here is an example of actual trades I have personally made in the past few weeks:

I took 5 DS games into Game Station and I wanted to trade them in for 2 second hand games. Not a great deal but it gets worse. I also had to pay a further £18 cash for the games I wanted!! This means I gave them 5 games and £18 for 2 second hand games. So however you look at it, £5 and 1 game with Game Swap is a great deal!

I won't get ripped off by high street game stores anymore! I wil always use Game Swap.

 great info thanks, a mate of mine bought a new game from gamestation for 39.99 need for speed pro street for wii, took it back in about 2 weeks later and they offered him 8 pound for it scandulous if you ask me they must be making a fortune. they'll never make another penny from me on trade-ins.....

£8, thats a joke!!! depreciation on cars is bad enough but not that bad!!! If im buying a game for myself i always buy a second hand one (in good condition of course), as game prices are overly inflated anyway. Basically the game shops make money out of you when you buy it and again when you trade it. I bet that game is on the shelf for £25 now, so they made £20+ on you the first time around, then they will make another £17+ when they sell it as used.

Gamestation has been taken over by Game!!! So the manager of Gamestation tells me, that probably accounts for it, but they never give a good price for traded in games... if we trade them they get away with it and continue to make money.

WE WON'T BE BEATEN ON TRADE-INS - do they mean: they give the lowest price for the highest profit? Their second hand games are the least expensive because they only give you pennies for them? Whatever it means it seems to drive people into getting ripped off!
