I bought it from HMV and i'm looking to keep losses to a minimum. What is the best trade-in i'm likely to get considering the game will have only been out 1 day or is it even possible to return the game even though it's opened?
Thanks in advance.

The menus are dire, there is no Nurburgring in arcade mode, I prefer GT4
That much? I really hope so. I have a gift card with GAME so if they can slap 35 quid on there i'd be very happy.
I didn't even know Argos were into the second hand market. I'll just do the rounds until someone gives me the best price. Cheers for the help.
Yeah, I would try Argos and Asda.
Judging by Argos' price for MoH, I would say £30+ is for sure. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/StaticDisplay/includeName/trade_in_old_video_games.htm
Is the game really that bad ???????????????
Reading around the internet it appears to be worse than ET on the Atari :eek:
It also appears like every aspect of the game is massively flawed and it has been released in a bigger mess than COD MW2 :eek:
But a number of people on my friends list have been playing it endlessly so maybe the people liking the game just haven't ventured away from their console to post positive comments yet
I think the problem now though is that with every new release comes a whole load of hype that everyone seems to fall for and they expect a game to be perfect so there's always going to be disappointment.
This. It's an awesome game and the haters should be ignored.
Agree 100%
I Personally think this game is awesome.
In this day and age people are used to quick fix gaming, race win and finished. This is not that game and not really for those people. Unfortunately, some will have bought the game expecting something like NFS Shift and are nto getting the same instant gratification from the racing experience.
Hell, I felt it myself when I played my first Sunday Cup race in the most expensive Mazda I could afford to buy with my 20k initial credit. There is no sense of speed when you are driving a clapped out road car that has had no modifications. Out of the box they aren't going to handle like a racing car, they will take time to be able to afford the modifications that will bring that experience.
I thought I would take a quick look at the pre order bonus cars I got from HMV and managed to race the Honda NSX Stealth on one of the beginner races. Wow, that was a whole different experience, the handling was amazing and responsive, the speed was there and a sense of fun was injected back into the game.
This game is really going to reward thos players who give it a week or so and get past the slow crap cars you have to own to start with in order to upgrade to the top range sports cars etc.
I've not played the Arcade mode yet so don't know if the instant gratification cna be gained from there, but arcade mode was always a tagged on mode to the full Gran Turismo experience.
It could almost be fair to say that this isn't a racing game as such, but a role playing game with cars. You'll have to upgrade the 'magic' in order to get the most out of the game.
It's a shame people a so short sighted and inpatient, but it's their money I suppose. Once the online lag issue is resolved and the game starts to load quicker and more features get added to improve the experience, maybe those who gave up on the game so soon will regret their decision and buy it again.
It's too early to tell just how good this game really is, there is so much to do it seems as though the game could last easily for a couple of years. Follow the trophy list to help guide you through the games features and races and I'm sure you will start to enjoy the game more than you are at the moment.
Completely agree with you 100%, great post.
Speaking on stage at the game's launch party in Madrid last night, Yamauchi declared that his team would be "upgrading every week, every month" to ensure that his latest baby is absolutely perfect. The game took six years to develop, we expect that the guy can't let go that easily.
Indeed, the producer stated that he saw the latest Gran Turismo as a "pet" that Polyphony has "nourished and looked after." He noted that the fans, "whom have helped and supported us," were the driving force behind the game's creation, and even a video confirmed that "Today is not the finale. Today is only the beginning of a new era for Gran Turismo."
When asked what that was all about by Eurogamer, Kaz revealed updates to the online mechanics of the game. "Online updates are planned of course for leaderboards and matchmaking - [they're] all planned in the process of evolution." When pressed about an obvious sequel, he laughed and said that he "didn't know" when GT6 would arrive.
"10 years ago it was easier to predict what would happen three years in the future," he said. "Nowadays no-one knows what happens in the future. In three years, we don't know what will happen."

Why thank you
Exactly. And you could have said exactly the same about GT4 and all earlier versions too. This is GT after all, what were people expecting.
I've only had a couple of hours, couple of races, done the B license and it looks like G4 with a bit of spit and polish.
And thats no bad thing really.
But yeah, when you have played Burnout Paradise and then you go to a Yaris only race trundling around, it's a whole different ball game to anything on the PS3 so far
You can tell looking at some of the bronze trophies (have 1000 cars in your garage) this is going to take some time!
Same as, couldn't agree more:D
Me too, for the record.
Hear hear

£25 from Game, £20 from Gamestop(boo!) and £30 from HMV. I think all of them were for trade-in, not cash. I'll try CEX 2moro for £30 cash. If i can't get £30 then i'm just gonna have to suck it up and keep it in my collection.
