their favorite PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 games until the PlayStation 4
or Xbox One versions become available,” said Mike Mauler, executive vice
president of International at GameStop. "This offer gives our customers
the chance to upgrade their current PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 games for
the new PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions of the same game for a great

locations for the new PlayStation 4 or Xbox One standard version of the
same game. The game can only be traded in at a GameStop location within
