The EB stores in my city sell pretty much just this generation and the last generation. I think those are the only games they will buy, at least around here. They have a handful of older games for n64 and psone, but that's as far back as they go. I dunno if they actually still buy those though, or if it's just old stock.

I think they only buy PS3, xbox360, Wii, PSP and DS. Most probably still buy PS2, but i know some that do not. They stopped buying xbox and Gamecube over a year ago i think

Whatever your selling that old you wont get a decent amount anyway. It's not worth selling it to them. Might as well just keep it.
NES, SNES, PS1, N64, DC, PS2, GCN, Wii, PS3, 360, GB, GBC, GBA, GBA SP, PSP 3000, and 3DS XL

I just want to get rid of PS1, PS2 and Xbox stuff without the hassle of shipping it, like trade it in for store credit.

I know they're not going to take PS1 stuff. The way they've been blowing out oXB stuff around me those are gonna be iffy. PS2 I imagine they're still taking, but I bet they're only going to take 'good' stuff.

All GameStop stores nationwide Buy/Sell/Trade Gamecube, PS2, GBA, DS, PSP, PS3, Wii and 360.

Only select larger or high traffic stores sell the remaining Original Xbox stock on clearance, but no stores buy or trade Original Xbox at all anymore.

If a store won't sell/buy/trade any of the items currently on the list then they are violating corporate policy. Feel free to report those stores to a district manager, they're dicks and just make it a pain in the ass to find games for the rest of us and gives all the other good stores a bad/worse reputation.
