Zap0602, I'm not going to say it's a good idea or not, no need to start a flame-bait thread ;) but yes, it is possible to trade in your PS2 and games for a NGC.

I know that Electronics Boutique had a trade-in program over the holidays, but i'm not sure if it is still active.

As for it being worth it, that's up to you. :)

You defintely can. The question is: What games do you want to play? Are there specific games that are making you want to trade for the GC?

i think your safest bet is with EB, but I think you could get a little more money out of it if you convinced a friend to buy it from you.

xbox has only one good game and its halo and its horrible aiming for me cause i can't aim with console
the games on gamecube are great for all ages: metroid prime, super mario sunshine (mario can't beat mario), super smash bros. and super monkey ball 2

dont wanna do online, in person only. no offense but haven't trusted internet trading and purchasing

Obviously you don't know how "buyer pays first, and seller ships once they recieve payment" works. Or escrow, for that matter.

I don't think it's a good idea, btw. I'd rather sell to someone locally, and then look for a hot gamecube deal.

XBOX has a ton more great games besides halo but its your call.

As stated you will get the best price online since nobody is buying for resale but if you insist on selling to EB/Gamestop get quotes as it varies by store.

EB quoted me a price of $125 for the Playstation 2 console and this was about three weeks ago before I sold it on For Sale/Trade forum. Call your local EB Games and ask. Some stores won't give quotes over the phone, some will.

Oh man...you need an Xbox and the PERFECT game for pre-teens...

BTW: This is a joke.
BTW2: Figured any humor-impaired folks would need a clarification.

I dont think they'll give 25 for 2k3 since it retails for 29.99 now

That is disgustingly untrue.
There are a lot of great games for the Xbox.
I would suggest doing some research on it and the games that are out and coming out shortly before making your final decision.

As for the GC, i can say, get it if you really really like Nintendo exclusive games, as thats unforunatly the only good games for the system besides ports which are on the PS2/Xbox.

I own both a GC and Xbox and have to say the Xbox gets alot more use then my GC does. Ive found the GC to be more of a good second system to have for the Nintendo exclusives.

But anyways, its a good system, i dont mean to like shove Xbox down your throat, its just when i see such untrue and sick statments it makes me sick.

I am sure EB will give you credit for it if you provide enough. They used to offer a trade in dael like 3 games and a PS2 for an Xbox.

xbox has only one good game and its halo
I hate this fricken comment. Tells me that the poster knows nothing. There are plenty of great games on the Xbox.
