RUMOR: Special trade-in for Xbox 360 elite brewing?
With the unveiling of the Xbox 360 Elite a few days ago, all sorts of people from the gaming industry have been saying their piece about it. A research mentioned that the Xbox 360 Elite got a negative reception, Michael Pachter also voiced out his opinions about it, and of course Peter Dille already said that the Elite legitimises Sony’s PS3 strategy. With all that said, it’s just gonna take a short time before the rumors about Xbox 360 Elite kick in.
Over at the Xbox forums, a guy with a gamertag Xx KILLA KEV xX talked about how Microsoft could be planning a special trade in for the Elite. Since we don’t want to be flamed, here is his word-per-word post:
I called Gamestop today to see what kind of value I would get for my Prem 360 and the manager told me that they would have to see it in person, of course we all know that, but after talking to him about the elite he said that corporate had sent a memo stating that MS was working on a special Trade in for existing 360 owners to get the Elite. Im guessing there is alot of truth to the statement due to all the negative feedback from the gaming community. That would make things alot better if they did.
Website Xbox 360 Rally submitted this story to Digg and they received a comment from a certain Sega 4 Life, allegedly a GameStop employee. Basically, he debunked the rumor and he mentioned that they received an email from MS stating that there won’t be any special trade-in options.
For now, all we could do is speculate and take this rumor with a grain of salt. Keep checking us out for updates about this rumor.
