Game wants your old games, makes an ad lying about pretty much everything

Game, one of Australia’s largest gaming retailers has decided it’s time to really start cashing in second hand sales and has put together a pretty unique video ad explaining it’s offering.

Some parts I found pretty funny, like the sexy lady who uses her wares to disarm the geek, but then other scenes/parodies were just plain annoying.

The entire idea is based very much on the banned Xbox 360 advert of the guys shooting at each other but with a big dash of Australian humour, most of which became politically incorrect back in the 1980’s.

Mind you I could forgive the advert for it’s dodgy humour and B grade acting if it didn’t end off pretty much lying through it’s teeth. According to the friendly Game employee they are happy to offer the guy $60 for his second hand copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops… a 5 month old game.

In reality the last time I traded new games in at Game I received around $25 for a 3 month old game down to $5 for a year old one

Mind you it does help when the RRP in Australia for Black Ops is $120 (R875)
