On their website, it said the deal was valid until December 9.

Today my friend rings up, planning to buy 360 through the trade-in.

"It has expired".

I'm confused. The deal WAS ON THEIR SITE and it clearly stated the deal was valid until December 9. And now, the deal isn't even ON their site.

I'm really confused. Now my friend has to cough up the extra $300 because GAME is being utterly stupid.

Anyone have any idea how to get this deal... back? It's the EIGHTH of December, one day before that deal was meant to end. This is ridiculous.

there is a PS3 trade in but it is $100 more expensive ($299) and you don’t get the 2 FREE games.

360 deal was actually an email deal offered through xbox.com and IGN email lists. just mention the net and your fine to do it

speaking as an employee as well

Chris, check your commercial updates mate!!
$31 dollars per game (thats not on the exclusion list) $70 for the console and the Xbox goes at $579. Making the deal $199.

Otherwise without the trade in you can buy the 360 for $529, which is a pretty good deal.

you should make mention they only accept major titles if you have games that are not incredibly populaur or mainstream they dont accept them.

This sounds too good to be true, I’ll be heading in there tomorrow with my boxed ps2 and 10 games. Finally, I can add the PS3 to my next-gen family.

theres stores in QLD, NSW, ACT, NT, VIC and WA.

its a pretty darned good deal - with both of the deals you are getting upward of $30 per game.

GAME in victoria is in Epping, Watergardens, Knox and Frankston.

and as an employee im not entirely sure the 199 360 deal is true, in victoria atm the ps3 deal is right but the 360 is different...
