Already have a PS Camera? This is what I did.

[xBSGeorge]

So this may be different in each region (I am in Canada), but what I did was traded in my existing camera and got the Sports Champions pack.

The pack was $99.99 (Game, Controller, Camera)

I got $17.50 trade in value on my existing Camera. (EB Games)

Total Price was then $82.49

If I didn't do that, then my price would have been

$49.99 Controller
$39.99 Sports Champions

$89.98 Total

Of course, I now have a new, well polished camera, and the demo disk.

Now should you do this? Well, No...its only $7.50 in your pocket (well if your in Canada), but for someone like me it was worth it cause I live in the country and have ****ty internet, so to download demos would have taken ages or not possible at all.

Anyway - This is just an idea for anyone out there that has an older beatup camera and might want to look into saving a couple bucks if you get the same sort of deal I got.

EDIT: Adding the picture cause there are a few who doubted the $17.50 I got on trade in value on the camera. Like I said though (more then once), it might not be same in your area, but doesn't hurt to check if you already have a PSEYE.

Pretty good deal for people that all ready have it. I think the starter pack is a great deal if you haven't, so this is a good option if you all ready have it!

I didnt know EB took cameras. I bought the pack anyways and got the extra camera. There is also a difference between the lenses in them both as I did compare.

Too bad our Starter pack doesn't have Sports Champions, just that ****ty demo disc.

Gamestop was only going to give me $2 for the camera.

I'm just being, yet again, too nice for my own good and giving my old camera to my roomate.

[Lethal_NFS]

Gamestop was only going to give me $2 for the camera.

Ya, I dont know how he got that much for the camera..

[Tyrien]

If he lives in the country that particular gamestop may have had a higher demand for cameras. Part of what they base trade in values on is regional demand.

That or he was lucky and was one of the first people to pick up the bundle and trade in the camera (in canada) and the trade in value had not had a chance to update on the computers. It could also be that EBGames Canada offers a higher price.

[Stoffinator]

I doubt you got that much for a camera. More like $2

[xBSGeorge]

I promise you I did, I could scan my receipt if you would like . The staff member was surprised by the price too. I just assumed it was like that across Canada and possibly North America.

[F34R]

I tried to trade mine in like six months ago, and it was only $2 then.

[xBSGeorge]

The sales person said that I wouldn't get much for it and then checked and said "It went up", who knows what it was before. I will scan the slip I have showing the price. I just have to black out a few personal details on it, but it clearly shows the price.

[F34R]

Hmm, I'll call them today and see if they "upped" the price for the trade-in.

[xBSGeorge]

It appears there are a few that don't believe me so here is my scan.





I wasn't making this up. Plus I stated in my OP that it might not be the same in all areas. I'll add this to the OP too.

[F34R]

Well, dayum! I didn't doubt you, but I do doubt I'll get anywhere near that much lol. However, since Move, maybe the demand has gone up as was suggested above.

[xBSGeorge]

I didn't name anyone specifically, they are posted above though

I also edited the image cause I didn't realize I cut off the last line of "Taxable Total". First image didn't show the -17.50 removed from the "Subtotal" line.

Im really interested to know how they are different!! I have my og eye from launch and a "newer one" from the bundle, ill be at work all day today so i wont be able to test them out untill late tonight!

[pntbllrspdr]

I was in the same boat, already had a camera. So I found a friend that would buy the new EYE I would be getting with the pack for $25, so I end up paying 75 instead of 90 (Game+Move)

[F34R]

On the way home from Gamestop with the starter bundle and an extra controller.

Wow, so I did get a hell of a deal then. I phoned them just now to see what they would give me for a camera trade in and it was still $17.50.

But like I said the OP, its probably different in each area, hopefully this will work for someone else too

[F34R]

Yeah, I told them that a friend of mine got $17.50 for his camera. The guy was kinda flabbergasted lol

[xBSGeorge]

They salesperson had a bit of that reaction too, lol

[F34R]

Lol. They both probably had the same look on their faces as I did when they told me $2.50 for the trade-in. lol
