GameStop Giving $50 Extra Trade Credit For Wii U

$50 in trade-in credit for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Wii U. but who in their right mind would wanna trade in a WiiU lol
$50 EXTRA. They just said that you can get up to $175 for a trade in
Someone who has gone from Console to PC. Also the Wii U has flaws here and there. Everyone just buys one to play exclusives.
I did (sold it).
I would because Wii U sucks. The sooner I can move on from this failure of a system, the better.
you know what guys? I came to the conclusion that wii U of mine will worth a lot of money in 10 years time and it would be really stupid to get rid of it. If it was not for my car I would have bought the 10 wii U games I don’t currently own this Christmas. 18 wii U games and a wii U in 10 years would be £1000 worth.
Saying that I don’t intend to sell my wii U anyway, but the point is that gamestop are clever.
They made nearly 15 million Wii U’s, I doubt they will ever be extremely valuable. However I do think they will maintain their current value for the foreseeable future. Either way I wouldn’t advise selling it.
Boo.
I know you want my WiiUWU but you cant have it XP
I have 2 wii u’s so for 150$ it wouldnt be so bad if i sold one
I have 2 🤔 should i?
I’m holding out for an upgrade or ambassador program.
Same, bought it day 1 and still nothing. :/
I have too many downloaded games. My WiiU is worth way more than $175 bucks!
Yea, no kidding. Plus the Switch will not be backwards compatible so why would anyone want to sell their Wii U? I think the Wii U is the the next Dreamcast. Failed console but a true gem to the people that own one.
Agreed!
I really should take a chance & send in my broken Wii U. Worst case scenario, I lose all of my save data but still get to keep my digital purchases. Then again, if Ninty is doing that fucking upgrade discount bullshit again, I might as well just keep my Wii U til it fully breaks down & Nintendo isn’t doing repairs of it anymore.
I’ll throw in a middle finger to the manager. Just for them.
Seriously though, what a fucking rip off. Typical of GameStop.
Yeah, not selling it. I plan on spending quite some time with mine.
Who do they think they’re fooling?
Nope, not selling. I’ve waited too long to get Breath of the Wild, I’m not about to sell or trade my Wii U when next year is coming fast.
I just can’t believe that people get rid of their game consoles. That’s SO stupid! I don’t think that any sort of hardcore gamer (or collector) would ever get rid of an actual console. If I got rid of one, I’d feel like I lost a vital organ. I’m too darn attached to my games and consoles.
I would sell it in a heartbeat if I could download my games back on the switch.
Sadly, if that upgrade rumor is true, we’ll have to pay a discount again to get our shit on Switch. Might as well keep the Wii U if that’s the case. :/

If that upgrade thing on Wii U is gonna be a thing on Switch, I might as well keep my Wii U so I don’t have to pay a fucking discount for my VC. I hate to keep that failure of a system any longer if Switch is on the horizon but I might not have much of a choice in the matter. So much for cross buy being a thing… Ugh!
