Report: GameStop no longer accepting PS2 trade-ins as of June 1st

Now that the PS2’s started taking steps toward retirement with Sony ceasing its production in Japan, it seems GameStop doesn’t plan to keep the console under its roof for much longer. According to a leaked in-store display posted to Reddit by eGORapTure, the gaming retailer will no longer accept the 12-year-old system for trade-ins as, effective June 1st. Our friends at Joystiq contacted multiple stores to confirm the news and many said the policy is indeed set to go into effect. Unsurprisingly, PS2-related accessories and titles will also be refused for trade-ins once the date rolls around. We’ve reached out to GameStop’s corporate representatives for comment and will let you know what we hear back. For now, you can find more info at the via and source links. Well, they gotta make room for those PS4 boxes — however they end up looking, right?

Some Apple stores offering exchanges on iPads purchased in the last 30 days

Posted in: Today's Chili

We get it, some of you are feeling a little burned by the iPad update today. It was only about eight months ago that Apple’s slate was last refreshed with the stunning Retina display, now its gotten a subtle, but hardly negligible spec bump. If you’re having a little bit of buyer’s remorse and only made the plunge in the last 30 days, you might be in luck. According to CNET, at least one Apple store (the Stockton Street branch in San Francisco) is offering a free upgrade to a fourth-gen iPad for those that picked up the 9.7-inch tablet in the last month. However, a manager at the 5th Ave shop in NYC told us this isn’t a company-wide policy. Instead its up to individual stores to decide whether or not to offer the extended exchange period, or simply stick with the standard 14-day return policy. We called a few locations and most don’t appear to be willing to make the trade, though the branch in the Mall at Millenia in Orlando, FL is playing ball. We can’t guarantee success, but it can’t hurt to give your local shop a call.
