I just did this yesterday. I sold my PS3 & Wii and got me some steam cash. I ended up buying all the valve games and a couple more.
I never get involved with GameStop anymore. You can get so much more through Ebay or Amazon. They work much better. GameStop rips you off, as most people here know.
I would too ff they offered a discounted price since, you know, it costs them less than distributing and producing the physical game.
Even if I decided to take advantage of this, I'd still have 600+ dollar PC to buy. Mine can't run Minecraft smoothly... Besides, I'd get more money just selling games on Craigslist/eBay.
That is crazy! I bought an old power brick for $40 from there. When I went to turn in another old power brick I got from online, they offered $20 for it. So I just returned the one I had bought from them (for $40), and kept the other one, which was kind of crappy, but not by much.
I don't have a choice of buying/selling games besides Gamestop or Steam. I need my parents for Steam anyway, so this sounds really good to me.
I am already about to completely convert to Steam because they always have wonderful deals and the best of all... it's free.
