href="http://www.everythingicafe.com/gamestop-to-carry-ios-devices/2011/09/06/">Confirming a report from earlier this month, Gamestop has issued a release saying they want to buy your old iPhones, iPods and iPads. Under a program dubbed “href="http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/itrade/default.aspx">iTrades“, Gamestop will take any generation iPod Nano, Shuffle, Mini, Touch, iPhone or iPad.

Keep in mind if you’re interested in doing this that Gamestop is notorious for substantially undervaluing everything under the sun, and you’ll end up with a small fraction of what your gadget is really worth. As commenter href="http://www.everythingicafe.com/gamestop-to-carry-ios-devices/2011/09/06/#comment-85559">Outspoken said last week, they were only offering $200 in-store credit for an iPad 2.

Yeah, you’d be better off going for Craigslist.

Full PR after the jump:

U.S. GameStop Stores To Accept Trades of iPod®, iPhone® and iPad® Mobile Digital Devices

Put your iPod, iPhone or iPad trade toward this year’s hottest releases and more at GameStop

GRAPEVINE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Got an iPod, iPhone or iPad collecting dust? Don’t trash it or let it sit and lose value – trade it for credit toward video games, gaming systems, downloadable content (DLC) and more at GameStop (NYSE: GME), the world’s largest multichannel retailer of video games. Beginning today, customers can take advantage of competitive trade values and earn credit by trading in their iPod, iPhone or iPad at GameStop stores nationwide.

“This is especially significant with the great title line-up slated for this fall.”/> Many iPod, iPhone and iPad trade values are significantly higher than typical game trade-ins, allowing customers to build trade credit more quickly. “By trading in iOS devices, GameStop customers have yet another source of funds to put toward the purchase of new and pre-owned games, DLC, digital PC games and more,” stated GameStop president Tony Bartel. “This is especially significant with the great title line-up slated for this fall.”

Trades of the iPod, iPhone or iPad must be in working condition and free from cosmetic defects. For complete details, including devices accepted, visit www.GameStop.com/iTrades or a local GameStop store.
