anything released within the last 6 months, MUST have case, manual and disk must be MINT!.

It p1sses me off when EB will except PS2 or original Xbox games when they are worth peanuts and they deny PS3 / 360 games which are worth WAY more in value. Pricks.

are you sure, re the last 6 months comment.

as far as I am aware there have been no new xbox (1 not 360) games released for the last 12 months or so, xbox is dead.. so nothing, nada, etc.. released.

my xbox 1 + 10+ games + 2 controllers + 32 demo discs = $130

= $630 PS3

*conditions apply
=P

seriously tho, id sell it.. lol

PS3/360 games can still be sold healthily retail because they are new.
Older games will struggle selling brand new because they are ...old... second hand copies at reduced prices will sell though.

You have to remember that at the end of the day the store will have to make $x off a particular unit (ie, game) because they would have paid $x to start with.

Not true, there are about 10 or so 360 games that aren't accepted as trade in's anymore.

DOA4, Condemned, PGR3, Tony Hawk: AW, Saints Row ect to name a few.

They have just gone 'Classic' so their RRP is now $50 and not worth bugger all on trade in.

Be weary, only some will work on aussie units! ;)

Edit:
Compatibility guide here...
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-xbox360_compatibility_guide-49-en.html

Also for all those with chips or similar in their x360's... stop playing pirated games on your consoles. Microsoft are randomly banning people who have modified firmware or chips from Live!
At this stage it looks like its only people who are playing the pirated games.

Fun fun! ;)

its all 'legit', nothing to do with chips.

I think you misunderstood me David...

You can import games, not all games from different will be compatible. Check that list.

The chip thing was different to importing games.

Nah driving aids off... well.. i use ABS and the stabiliser things.
No traction though because the end of the last corner can be a fast one if you give it some powersliiiiiiiiiiiiide.

It was 59.99999999sec or something silly officially. Prolly more accurate to say 1sec =P

And i have to be modest as well, i haven't been able to get under 1.03 since =P so i gave up.

A region-free version of the game is available now at www.dvdcrave.com.au for $76 including express postage for the standard edition which will be released 2 weeks before PAL territories.

WOOT.

I got my order down.
