How much do Gamestation/CEX give for . . .

[Pacman555]

A brand new sealed, never used JPN PSP standard pack?

Cash or credit.

Cheers.


PS Not looking to sell one as yet so dont ask for first dibs :P

Gamestation wouldn't give you anything for it because it's an import. Even though it's multiregion they won't touch it

Oh yeah >_< I forgot that!

Wrong, The Worcester branch of gamestation have a second hand jap psp for sale

[buster_broon]

i went into my local gamestation and asked about trading in PSP stuff and they told me they wouldnt accept anything until its official release

[Jei]

tut tut, appears like Worcester's breaking the rules somewhere!! They wanted a stupid price tho, +?200 with no games

[Plisken]

it's usually at manager's discretion , however with ninty stuff it's usually a no-no.

don't expect a lot though, won't get much leeway with the prices than can offer.

[gamerade]

it's more likely a member of staff unloading his import version 'cos he now wants a uk model. (the games are cheaper 'cos he can get employee discount)

But there isn't a UK version yet.

Back on topic? Please?

[gamerade]

yet....

still on topic, why do you think manager used his disretion in the above example,
where other shops refuse?
are you thinking of selling your import one to get uk model?
if the games are region free, who will want to buy import one after uk release?
(joe public?)
to sell import now, advertise now, time runing out for early adopters to get their investment back. (release soon)

on topic enough???

[Jei]

I'l still buy import even when the pal release is out, firstly 90% of games turn up in america before the uk and secondly videogamesplus's prices are nearly always cheaper than buying from play etc

[gamerade]

as stated in previous post....

if the games are region free, who will want to buy import one after uk release?
(joe public?)

the only reason for buying an import psp (or any other console) is the availability/compatibility of region exclusive games. If the region lockout is not on uk psp why would 'joe public' buy one, forgoing a warranty and the cheap used uk games market. Knowing that they can STILL play US/JAP games on it.
(6 months ahead of release, blah,blah)

Birmingham Gamestation also sell preowned PSPs

[Tyler Durden]

I rang Birmingham Gamestation to sell my spare PSP, they said they don't deal in them, CEX offer ?137 cash for a Jap PSP and ?175 for a US one. Add another ?10 (ish) for trade in value.

[jethro jazz]

weve taken games in at forbidden planet nottingham, dont see any reason we wouldnt take the console
