What about non-iOS devices? Like iPod shuffles, nanos, and Classics as seen in the image?

I can't wait for the inevitable self-nude pics GameStop employees will

a.) Find on the devices
b.) Take on the devices
c.) Upload to the Internet
4.) Get fired for said pics

As usual, you're better off selling on craigslist or ebay.

Wait, what? So they can carry IOS devices which are probably going to knock the snot out of the Gamestop pad.... yet they won't let games come packaged with OnLive codes?

Or take out a 2nd mortgage just so I can play MGS6: SOLID SNAKE'S LAST LAST, WE SWEAR IT'S THE LAST MISSION OF THE PATRIOTS on my new PlayStation9 orb console system. I don't think the wife will mind so long as I get her a copy of THE SIMS: BROKE-ASS AMERICANS edition.

Trade in the iPad, purchase their Android device.
Very good move on their part.

GAMESTOP sucks. Rip-off. Use eBay

That's actually fairly competitive - $5 more than with Nextworth:

And the Nextworth price assumes it's like new in the box.

@(Unverified) You had a 38" HDTV? Should have kept it, they don't make them.

Un momento por favor.... I can ebay my iPad 2 for pretty much exactly the amount I bought it for... I suppose old iTouchs and such could benefit, but a 32 gig 3g iPad 2 for $300? Nope. No way.

@Atomic Number 92 On the other hand you have to deal with Paypal, and hope that they actually release your payment when they say they will. (As opposed to three weeks after the sale was complete.)

@Faceless Troll You can sell it on amazon and not deal with anything like that. You put it on Marketplace, set a price, wait a few hours for it to sell, ship it, then amazon transfers money to your bank account. Selling an ipad 2 for $300 is unbelievably stupid no matter how easy it is.

Gamestop tries so hard... to rip consumers off. Is it really that hard to sell these yourself on ebay, kijiji, or whatever? I'm sure if i asked any coworker to buy an ipad 2 32gb for $300 it would sell on the spot and for cash (not game money).

Guess what, if I sell my car personally to a buyer, I'll make more money than selling it to a dealer!



Why do people feel the need to point out the obvious -_-

Oh no does this mean that an iOS device is officially considered a gaming platform or are they expanding to the cellphone market. That's going to be wierd buying a locked cell phone at gamestop--wonder if they'll unlock it prior to sale.

This is ridiculous. Who in their right mind would trade in an iPod Touch or iPad to Gamestop without first attempting to sell it on Kijiji or eBay or to their friends? Maybe like one guy out of 10 million. Maybe. Game Stop has made Wal-Mart my official video game store. I don't have to deal with nerditude or chubby over-inflated and under researched opinions, I just wait for the aged zombie to open the glass sarcophagus and I'm on my way.
