How much do Game/Gamestation offer for second hand PS3 games?

Got 3 I'd like to get shot of - PES 2008, Conflict:Denied Ops and GT 5 Prologue... is it worth taking them to Game or just slinging them on ebay?

PS: Looked on the Pre-Owned part of the game website and they are selling Denied Ops at £18 but Pro Evo at only £5 and GT5 and £10.

Depends on the game and also if you want to trade in or get cash. There tends to be quite a big difference between trade and cash prices.

The best place I've found to trade games in is: http://www.cex.co.uk

They offered almost three times the price for a game compared to gamestation.

Check them out.

You'll probably do better on Ebay to be honest.

my experience of trading in games is pretty poor.
recently handed in about 15 games of a mix of ps2 and ps3 games anbd got 26 quid store credit. mad
if you ever do trade in at game, and want a fair amount of money, get a new game, complete it quickly, trade it in again for the next good new game on the market.

Agree. Best to trade in new games.. I've sworn never to do this again..ie.e by getting rid of old catalog games and getting trully shafted..
