Any way to see trade in values? I've got a bunch of older Ps4 games just laying around and figure I should take advantage of this trade in deal.

They don't usually advertise it on the site but if you call a local store they might tell you

you can always see trade in values for gamestop on their website, link above, or on the phone app. I've never, ever heard of any store adjusting values, trades are pretty automated through their register you just hand them the games, give them your ID/card, tell them you also want to pre order Call of Duty and put $5 of your trade towards it, and it all happens automatic. The website does NOT reflect bonuses, so for example the 50% bonus if you pre order Call of Duty would have to be added on top of any trade values, a $25 website trade in value would be $25 x 1.5 would be $37.50, and the 10% PUr Pro bonus is always off the base so $25 x 1.6 = $40.

the website is down now though so i dunno if any bonus trade values are still happening, the call of duty bonus was only over the weekend I think. There are some dudes that run around making hundreds of dollars in trade credit when weekends like this happen, like you can buy rory golf and minecraft stories at target for $10 each on clearance and trade them for $25-30 at gamestop, but the only thing you can really buy at gamestop nowadays is gaming stuff, food gift cards, PSN/xbox cards, or netflix/uber gift cards. They stopped allowing you to buy amazon, ebay and gas gift cards with trade credit last year.

Why doesn't Blizzard put Hearthstone on PS4 since the idiots over at CD Projekt decided putting Gwent on Xbox One was a good idea? Is there any card game worth a shit on PS4?

Gwent did a beta - not sure if it's currently active, but they're absolutely developing for it.

Interesting. They don't list it at all on their website. At least on the main page. Dumb marketing dept I guess.

You can play Gwent: The Witcher Card Game on PS4 this weekend

I guess it's not impossible they decided to drop bothering with PS4, but that seems unlikely.

gwent on ps4 works just fine, dunno what all of you are talking about. go to the gwent thread and a bunch of us posted beta codes, dunno if the servers are up but you can try

Eh, I really liked the Darksiders games back in the day (1 more than 2, but still). Wasn't expecting this to show up, but I'll take it.

So, eventually there's gonna be a 5th PlayStation, are they gonna just call it PS5? I feel like by 5 somehow the name has gotta have some change to it.

Through my exploration of name considerations, not wanting to stray far from traditional name style, I checked the Japanese word for five, the result: go.

Initial thought: that would be too deceptive given English translation.

BUT then i realized if Wii has a portability option, Sony clearly will have surpassed them in that regard in the future model, meaning in fact PlayStation Go would be a wonderful bilingual play on words for name.

I really liked the first darksiders, the second felt like a step back for me though. It has to potential to be really good, but we'll see

Tons of electronic hardware increment number past 4. iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8 for example.

Unless it's something radically different from the current system, it will be PS5

I also really enjoyed the Darksiders games and was disappointed when THQ shut down. I'm looking forward to DS3.

I'm a bit more cautious with my optimism more than I normally would be though - Fury in the series breaks from the normal Horseman mythos so much I'm afraid it might be jarring to me.

I'd be far less dubious with a more normal PC for the mythos.

In the Comics, Fury and Strife never cared for the older brothers they will fight with them if needed, but mostly left to there own devices..

Yeah, like Land Before Time, in no way does Land Before Time 13 deter somebody looking for something new.

And phones are numbered because no one cares about their name and without a number we would hardly know its new.
