Whilst I don't buy many new games, I seem to have real good luck at the boot sales in securing modern stuff for next to nothing.

A few weeks back some of you may recall me picking up a broken Xbox 360 elite, which happened to be working just fine. Well, I did it again today. A seller I bought from last week had this bundle for me:

Image

All the consoles were supposedly broken, so I was offered them at £20 which I obviously took. I'm pleased to say that while one of the 360's had the red ring of death, the other with the Virgin Megastores faceplate works perfectly too :)

The Wii's disc drive is broken sadly, but with how advanced Wii hacks are now, you don't even need the discs any more ;)

So despite one broken 360 and a half working Wii, I think a Wii Fit board, a 360, 360 HDD and pads is worth £20!

Also got these too:

Skyrin - £5
Alone in the Dark set - £4
Sega Tennis - £2
Bioshock 2 - £2
PSP Games - £5 for the three

Got £38 trading in six old crap Wii games at Gamestation and put it towards the following DS titles:
Ultimate Mortal Kombat
Game & Watch Collection (is there any significance to the Club Nintendo logo on the front of the case - was this some kind of exclusive for members?)
Sonic Rush
NFS Nitro
Super Scribblenauts

Nice trades! Last time I looked, I noticed that GAME was doing trade in 3 games and get a bonus £10 (terms and conitions apply :( )

Is Gamestation doing something similar? Also, do you know if they're accepting 'any ol' iron' or are they being picky?

Yep, same offer. Don't think they're being picky either - seems stock's running so low they'll take ANYTHING as long as it's in anything approaching decent nick AND they'll pay you way over the odds. Effectively I got £4.40 for PES 2008 and £8.40 each for Big Beach Sports and Chicken Shoot, two games that are beyond terrible!

Picked up this today from a local ad on Gumtree for £20 mint, not sure of its real value as can't find any on Ebay currently or completed listings, quiet happy though :)

Nice one mate- see you've taken the plunge with the Vita and nice one with the trade ins.

I 'm off to Gamestation/Game armed with a binliner full of Truth or Lies, Tiger Woods, Pro Evos and FIFAs (as well as a few half decent cheapies I fill me boots with about a month ago) to see what I can get.

Just managed to offload all of my Disney Udraw princesses to CEX, so I've got a weekend of free/CEX voucher shopping.
