"Some Games Excluded" basicly translates to "Old Sports Titles." They might take 2004 editions but beyond that my guess is you're out of luck.

Null · 10-07-2004, 09:34 PM

no, actually it depends on the quanity they have.

I know people who have given them years old versions of sports games. it all depends on if they have em or not. Your right tho that since people dont buy older versions, they're more likely to have em. but it all depends.

well i just make a very informative trip down to EBgames...

the guy there, (who is the manager of this EB store) said, they will give me $100 for my working PS2, and $50 for ANY 5 games.
he said not only is this $20 more then what they normally pay for PS2's, (normal trade in is $80) but excluded games are VALID! he looked it up in the books and the email he got to make sure, and in his own words said, "this means you can give us crappy old sports games that are worth $2 and we'll give you $10 for each"

so to this i say HELL YEA! i'll be giving him, NHL 2001, NHL 2002, NHL 2004, ESPN NHL 2k4 and WWF Smackdown + my PS2 for a nice new sleek compact PStwo.

that is awesome...I REALLY hope Canadian EBs have the same offer. I wouldnt mind getting rid of Madden 2004, NCAA Football 2004, Ratchet and Clank (1st one, beat it twice), Gran Turismo 3 and probably Amplitude.

Joeiss · 10-08-2004, 02:52 PM

Thiink we would get $15 per game since we are in Canada? haha, that would be sweet.

probably...but if the exchange rate was right, it would be closer to $12.75 per game...the CDN dollar is on the rise

Null · 10-09-2004, 04:29 PM

Well, done and done.

i figured i better jump on this before they change thier minds. lol

They take the PS2, check it with 4 different types of discs, then with the 5 games gave me my 150 credit, new ps2 is paid off.

the people there laugh and shake thier heads taken my old hockey games, said they cant believe they actually offer this deal. he said i gave him like $87 worth of merchendise and am getting $150 in exchange. hehehehe

Now i just wait, PS2'less untill the new one comes out. (good thing i have no new games coming out till then. lol)

Jonbo298 · 10-09-2004, 04:38 PM

At least your EB's is nice enough to follow the rules or whatever.

I know the one here would probably just say "Well, it does say any game but the thing on the paper said Excluding some titles so I'll just exclude those sports games".

But congrats on the soon to be new PStwo.

Null · 10-09-2004, 05:05 PM

well, they looked it up. aparently an email got sent to all the EB's saying to accept all games. *Shrugs*

Anywho, i gotta pay the tax when i goto pick it up which is like $8, but if i can find my damn CD to my network adapter, they'll give me $10 for that.

and i KNOW i had that damn cd sitting here on my computer desk. WHERE IS IT?!? *goes back to searching*

thatmariolover · 10-09-2004, 10:59 PM

We've got this thing listed as coming out on the 15'th of this month over at my Gamestop (through the computer network).

DeathsHand · 10-09-2004, 11:22 PM

That deal is tempting... 50 bucks for a broken PS2? I have a PS2 that only plays DVD-based media... But I already promised to just give it to one of my friends because I'm a nice guy

Null · 10-10-2004, 01:06 AM

lol. well they're very picky about what they accept. They check it to make sure it works with PS2 DVD games, PS2 CD ROM games, DVD Movies, and PS1 games.

i've never had one problem with that PS2, so i was very confident about that stuff. my only worry was my controller i gave em.
I lost an online hockey game i felt i shoulda won, i hit the post in OT, next time down the ice he scores on a weak goal.... I threw the controller down, and it kinda fell open and a screw snaped off. i took it apart and fixed the analog stick that had been jared out of place, but one of the wires going to the rumble section was broke off, but i put it together anyway, and its worked fine, just always had a very loud rattle when you shook it.
They didnt even try my controller , they used thier own. lol. the controller worked tho so i doubt they'd of noticed, i just dont think the rumble would work and it rattles. Ah well tho, thier problem now
