Thinking of trading in my 1 year old Xbox cex xbox 360 controller trade in gb to get an elite bundle 1tb sshd from EB games. Anybody knows what trade in value I would get? I'm a level 2 EB games customer. Its all you need - youll then have 1. If you're near a Cex xbox 360 controller trade in they often give better trade in value. They claim to be "Australia's leading games retailer" but this couldn't be further from the truth.
On every occasion that Cex xbox 360 controller trade in have shopped there at least one the following events have happened to me. They offer a satisfaction guarantee where any new game excluding PC titles can be returned within seven days of purchase and a refund is given. Guess what they do with the game after it's returned?
It goes straight back up on the shelf as a new title. I don't know about you but when I buy something that's new I expect it to be new, not something that's been in and out of the shop countless times passing through many different hands.
Of course someone uses the download code and lies about this when they return it so if you do buy a "new"game from EB cex xbox 360 controller trade in prepared to revisit the store to obtain a new DLC code to purchase any extra content.
I got real sick of this happening real fast. Their used game prices and trade in values are an cex xbox 360 controller trade in joke. EB are the masters of maximising profit from every single customer that walks through their doors. Customers get force fed: They are the only organisation that sell used games at higher prices compared to other shops selling brand new copies.
I've given up on buying new games from them. Their used consoles and accessories are junk. EB do not test items that are traded in such as consoles and accessories.
They hold onto them for a week as per the law for such things and then back out they go for sale. Read EB's Facebook page, they make claims about there being an "expert refurbishment team". Have you ever heard of a bigger crock than that? Do not buy used items from EB unless you like flushing your money down the toilet. There's a reason why the warranty cex xbox 360 controller trade in only 90 days. I bought a used console that dies four weeks after purchase.
They treat staff like dirt and expect customers to do all the hard work for them. EB are currently under investigation for abuse of staff members by a racist homophobic fine specimen of humanity known as Mark DiStefano. This has bought to light many other staff members speaking up about mistreatment at the hands of EB. Unpaid hours, early starts, late finishes, harassment, bullying, you name it, EB are probably guilty of it.
Seen it cheaper elsewhere? Of course you have, the entire games retail sector is cheaper than EB. They want you to do all the hard work, find a cheaper price, go to them tell them where you found it, they then call and check if stock is available and still, cex xbox 360 controller trade in at managers discretion if they will do it. Perhaps you could lower your prices EB and be a market leader for once? Set the trend instead of being hopelessly behind it.
On many occasions I have had price matches denied because of some arbitrary reason that no decent business would cite as a deal cex xbox 360 controller trade in. Pressure selling tactics to make you feel like you're ordering fast food.
EB staff members have some vicious KPI sales targets to meet each month. That means that should you choose to shop there you are going to have a whole variety of crap shoved down your throat that you don't even want to know about. Join EB World, it's free! Would you like to pre order the next Call of Battlefield? Trade those old games in and save money!!!
Come to the next midnight launch and hang with us! Would you like scratch protection on your disc? Are you sure you don't want the collectors edition of the game you're buying? I hate being pressured into these things, it happens way too frequently when shopping there.
So, in summary, don't buy from EB, they are a cancerous lump on the arse crack of Australian games retail. Support the stores that have the best prices, whether they be online or bricks and mortar. Just say no to EB and all of the dodgy shit mentioned above!

Instead of trading it in and losing heaps… go buy this: Pretty expensive for just 2tb, but definitely something I'll consider. Loading games from the portable drive is supposed to faster than Internal as its usb 3. Well for games anyhow.
