FutureShop: Taking used Games for Store Credit! Selling Used Games! TIVs INCLUDED!!

[Lancer2004]

FutureShop is accepting Video Games for store credit now. The girl even mentioned that their TIV is better than EB's. I didn't get any TIV's because you need to actually bring the game in for the TIV to be shown. Crazy.. Also, they sell used games now..

EDIT: Gathered some more info; here's what I got (feel free to add to it. Post here or PM me):
All quotes in this thread were taken from responses on people on the "cheapassgamer" site or the "futureshop" forums. They've listed some TIV's there:




FutureShop only accepts PS2 games from last Generation. GBA, GC, and Xbox games are NOT accepted. FutureShop does NOT accept Sports Games older than 2 years. (EG: NHL 08 and NHL 09 they will accept on a trade in. NHL 07 they will not.) You can only trade in a maximum of 3 copies of the same game at one time.

ALSO:: IMPORTANT:: Note that every time you bring in games you can NOT put it on the same card... They card they give you is a "Store Credit" card and is not a "gift card". So you CANNOT put money back on it. You can also not use more than 1 card on a purchase... stupid.. i know. I'm sure this will change..

Trade in Credit can be used on services AND ALL MERCHANDISE! Ipods...macs...ps3...whatever!

FutureShops formula for trade value:
USED price:
Divided by 2
Minus 10%
=Trade value!!!!

Example:
Mario Galaxy USED 39.99
Divided by 2 =$20!
Minus 10%
Final Value=$18

This is the formula for ALL GAMES!

I'm not going to confirm anything until someone posts in THIS thread from RFD OR if there was several reports on the other site with the same TIV. Post or PM me and i'll update the OP. I'll keep it nice and up to date too.

Belleville Ontario.

I'm bringing some games in tomorrow to get the TIV. I'll post results. They have LOTS of used games in stock.

[nem5325]

I work for Future Shop. The used game peice was soft-launched last week company wide except for Quebec (some language hiccups)

[calcuu]

Would they take in old games from like PS2 and Xbox? Also, Nintendo GBA games? If so, that would be nice especially if they give a better value than EB.

oh wow if it's better then eb's tiv i'm down

Yep. I was told it was done this past Monday.

I'm not too sure to be honest. I saw they had Xbox/PS2/GC games underneath the used 360/ps3/wii games but i didnt pay close enough attention to see if they were used or not..

Also, they said for the moment its just games but they're looking into taking used game systems in too. Just not at the moment..

To me, futureshop creidt is better than EB credit. Ill take my games there unless EB had a better TIV by a fair margin.

[calcuu]

Thanks Lancer 2004! I guess I will pay a visit to FS soon and check for myself. I agree that FS credit is better since EB is limited to only games that I have to buy.

[aimfox]

eBgames also host the same TIV program, more info here with a list of games for different console platforms

Its true. Starting on Sept 15 Futureshop is introducing the TiV games to compete with EBgames.

But this project is still in works and is only be implement at a few stores. Depends on the result this is going be wide spread.

Unlike EBgames just takes in games doesn't even care if its scratch up or not they sell it back to the next customer. Futureshop will take the game back and if there are scratches on it they'll send it back to 3rd Party to have the discs repair/ buffer it and then send it back to the stores for resell. So ppl don't have to test the discs out and find out it doesn't work and brings it back. *hassle free*

The should of annouce this earlier!! I plan on to trade in bunch of wii games to get the Guitar Hero World Tour at EB! But I already placed my preorder!

[killoverme]

I have an unopened hot shots open tee 2, you think its possible to get a store credit for 30 bucks (say it was a gift) or this would be the best way to get some money back (i got it with my psp bundle)

[Frankie3s]

This is really good news and I'm happy to see that someone at FS's head office realized the potential. More surprising, is that the formula that they are using seems quite reasonable when trading in games.
