GameStop suspending Xbox

[Demon_Skeith]

GameStop will no longer accept trade-ins on original Xbox games, systems, or accessories beginning Febuary 9, 2009. Although GameStop corporate wouldn't verify this information during its "quiet period" leading to Thursday's holiday sales report, several local shops confirmed the policy when we called. Employees were unaware if something similar would be implemented for PS2 or GameCube in the near future.

Those looking to unload their original Xbox and dozens of games for the whopping sum of $12.87 (that's just a guess), should head on down to GameStop before the deadline.

I can see this happening to the GC.

Will probably happen to GC, but not the PS2 for awhile. I wonder why. We can still trade SNES and NES games, right?

Actually you can't. They will only take the following:

PS3
PS2
PSP
Gamecube (for a few months more)
Nintendo DS (Lite, i when it comes out)
GBA
GBASP
Wii
Xbox 360

I saw this yesterday when I went in to buy some stuff.

I go to game and gamestation, so this doesn't effect me.
