I searched the boards before posting this. Is there anyway of checking the GameStop trade in values before going to the store? I plan to buy the new version of the 360 and I want to get rid of all my old PS2 stuff that I don't even use anymore. How much do they give for a PS2 now-a-days? And do they even take some of the old PS2 games. Like I have Madden '02 and GTA 3. Are they still taking stuff like that? What is the value range for those types of items?

Also Madden might net you like 4 bucks
Not even worth trading in PS2 games, Use goozex. You will get a better value for the games through their trade system.
I don't think you can find their trade in prices on line. I know it used to be impossible, don't know if they changed it in the past ew years. I also don't think they'll buy your ps2 games, you'd probably be better off just trying to sell them online.
Am I the only one who loves GameStop's trade in values? I traded in Assassin's Creed II and got BioShock and Silent Hill 2 for $3.00!

4 bucks? Yeah, if your really lucky. Seriously, Madden 09 at my Gamestop was going for 50 cents.

I am not so much looking to get money for them. I just want to get rid of them. And if they take some of the games for store credit, then I will do it. Even if it is 10 bucks I suppose. Not frugal, I know. I just don't want to go in and be like... umm... we don't want any of this s!@#.

And fuck Gamestop, which is always a good thing.
You might want to try Amazon if it's available where you live. You can see how much they will offer and they usually give much better deals than Gamestop. The only downside is you get the money as a credit at Amazon, so if you need cash or can't find anything worth getting at Amazon it may not be a good choice.

Actually they do tell you over the phone; I would know, its quite annoying. Also, you will get $25 for your PS2." @kyledanderson said:

EDIT: $25 for slim. $20 for fat.

I just talked to them, they said they take any PS2s with a single controller and proper component cables. Oh, and they take all PS2 games for at least some kind of store credit.
They never advertise trade rates anywhere properly. It's a nasty system. I love reaping the benefits though. I have purchased many a second hand game but I haven't ever traded one game to any shop in 22 years of gaming.
I would describe what I have as a healthy list. Most of the games, on both units, are quite old. If I go eBay how much should I price a lot like this (starting bid then buy it now)?

i don't think they are going to give you much for your ps2 games. they might take them. my gamestop doesn't take xbox 1 games for some reason. i saw someone trying to trade it in and they said they weren't taking xbox games.

Does amazon really give you that much for it?
$12 credit at GS by the way.

I bought GTA3 for $2.99 and that like 2.5 years ago. So probably 15 cents? Madden... probably even less.

Oh god, I'm sorry I thought he was asking for the TIV of just the 20gb HD. You have to trade in the console and HD separately at GS. A 360 + wired gets you $80 credit, wireless gets you $90. The 20gb HD gets you $12.
I think there's a deal going on now that gets you an extra $25, but only if you take it in credit.
You're right, they have an offer going on right now for the new systems." @Kahoona said:

If you call them up, you can thoroughly annoy whoever answers the phone by asking them game by game how much you will get back. I recommend doing it. It's funny because they have to answer ALL of your questions. It is their job after all. :P
This might not be the case for everyone, but I traded in my old Xbox 360 without the hard drive (Didn't even have HDMI either) and got $125 credit.
EDIT: Oh, and I traded it in at Gamestop.
They won't go below a $1.00 in trade in value. But, still you will only get a $1.00 for most of your PS2 games.
"Going by what you have above, my guess would be between $50 - $75 at the absolute most. And they may not even take some of that stuff.I would describe what I have as a healthy list.

I just discovered the joys of Cheap Ass Gamer. Definitely helps me keep hold of my collection knowing I'd only get $3 bucks for something.
