UNOFFICIAL Game Rush Trade in Value of games thread

[jgb0607]

I figured we should have a thread for this as there seems to be some prices scattered around this site.

Here's what I got for some Xbox games on 6/20:

Mechassualt - $8
Blood Wake - $7
Time Splitters - $8
GTA 3/4 - $25
Indiana Jones- $3
Freedom Fighters- $8
Armed and Dang - $12
Riddick- $35

[Cornfedwb]

I think we need a poll about what to do to these people that keep adding OFFICIAL to their threads.

I vote for tar and feathering.

Wah! Anyways, other people have mentioned the desire for such a thread as well; Just trying to be helpful to the other CAG's. I don't really care if my thread is "official" or not, but it stands out more in the forum.

This is generally how GameRush gives credit:

-GAMERUSH-
Thanks to video_gamer324 for following info:
It seems like GameRush has a pattern with trade-in credit. It goes kind
of like this:
They Sell:/They Buy:
$3 / $.50
$5 / $1
$7 / $2
$10 / $3
$13-$15 / $7
$17-$30 / (approx. 50% of their selling price)
$33 / $20
$35 / $21
$40 / $25
$45 / $30


Maybe a more useful list would be games that we know are cheap elsewhere that give you high credit at GameRush. For example, Wild Arms 3 (PS2) is $10 at Circuit City and was worth $25 in store credit at GR. Also Smash Cars, $5 at Best Buy is worth $18 at GR.

[Wshakspear]

Check this thread Here (http://cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15967&start=0) for more prices. I've been meaning to do a comprehensive list, but frankly, i have no time!

This is very true!
But if you got prices you might as well post em...

Found these:

Breakdown $25
Mario Kart $25
Tony Hawk 4 $7 GC
NBA 2K3 $7
Unreal 2 $25 XBX

[shipwreck]

Hmm... well you can get Breakdown used for $17.99 at either EB or GameStop so that would be about $7 in profit. That's a pretty good deal. Might have to do that one.

Actually, you could actually buy Breakdown for $15 new at Best Buy after GGC so that would be about $10 profit.

the official stuff needs to be deemed by mods and CheapyD. that way it is an official thread that the site deems is an official CAG thread.

N64 Hardware $15 !?!?!they said 10 before

[zewone]

i might turn in my old pink gba for $45 since I got a SP yesterday. Is that price for SP or original?

[jgb0607]

DVD Remote w/ Sensor $17

Hmmm, I might have to turn that in.... I ended up putting in a 5.1 system and DVD player in the room the XBOX is in. I used to use the XBOX for a player in there, but there really is no point anymore.

[shipwreck]

Flyer just says Gameboy Advance Hardware so I'm assuming that it is the original hardware. Oh, and it's $40, not $45.

I did the same thing. Get a 5.1 system and dvd player. I don't use my xbox for dvd playback but the remote works great so you have a wireless way to listen to all the music on the xbox. I got like over 1000 songs on my xbox and this makes it navigate with ease.

EDIT: Oh yeah $40 for GBA, my mistake

[vanlandw]

NBA Live 98 for the PS1 gets .50 cents!

lol?

:-P

[shipwreck]

One other interesting thing about the flyer is that the two games they happened to picture next to the trade 2 get one used for $9.99 deal were Rainbow Six 3 for PS2 and Hitman Contracts for Xbox. Hopefully this means that Blockbuster is getting ready to put some of their rental copies of these games up for sale.

Holy crap, a game store that gives above $30 for new releases? At $35 trade in credit for SpiderMan 2, that almost makes it worth purchasing without worry. Because that's only $9 loss (rentals go for $6 here) and a real long rental.

[jshorr]

Keep in mind that the credit prices change constantly....

Anyone have any idea why Game Rush doesn't currently have Wild Arms 3 listed in their system as a trade-in? I've called several stores all with the same answer.

For PS2 they only have Wild Arms Alter Code F listed, which isn't out yet.

I think some peeps were taking advantage of them as it was on sale cheap at Best Buy and you could make like $20 in credit off of it.

[howard]

[quote]I think some peeps were taking advantage of them as it was on sale cheap at Best Buy and you could make like $20 in credit off of it.

That's exactly why I called to ask. I was going to try and hunt one down at Circuit City or Worst Buy then use it towards the Mega Man Anniversary Collection.

[shipwreck]

Hmm... I know that I traded in 3 Wild Arms 3 for $25 a piece last week. And I have a friend that traded in an additional 2. Maybe they realized that they were giving too much money for this game? I'm surprised that they don't have anything in the system for it though. I figured they would just lower the trade-in value.

I've seen multiple copies of Contacts at the various GR that I've been to (for both PS2 and Xbox). I wasn't too sure what it was trading in at the time so I passed each time.

And if Wild Arms is not working for you, go get Space Channel 5 for PS2. It's trade in value is $25 and can be found at Target for $10 and EB for $11 used/$15 new.

[video_gamer324]

For those of you who found a cheap copy of Dynasty Tactics 2 at Best Buy, GameRush is offering $25 for it.

Well, the local GR here could not take this back.
The kid said he thought it was on their sheets but must have recently been removed.

[drfrielgood]

bump

[Green-Bull]

I tried to trade in Hitman: Contracts (PS2) and they said it'd went down to $22. I knew I should've went over there sooner. I traded in Hitman a few weeks ago at the other GameRush, then bought an XBOX version at this GR, traded it in at the other one to get my nephew Pokemon Sapphire. So that's probably what did it. $22's better than nothing.

Wild Arms 3 wouldn't register. The guy said the only Wild Arms in their computer (I think) was Wild Arms: Alter Echo, so I should've asked him what the trade in for that was, but I didn't think of it. Maybe they just got the name/s mixed up.

What are the Freebie points they give ya' for?
I had like 6 things and they all expired 6/30.
Can you win stuff or what?

A few games I traded in a couple weeks ago.

NBA Street Vol. 2 (GC) = $8
Freedom Fighters (GC) = $8
Red Faction 2 (GC) = $8
Smugglers Run (GC) = $1
(I didn't trade this one in)

One other thing, they had a sign saying that the Buy 1 Cartridge and Get 1 Free deal ends July 12th. Might be different for others though.

[timmynausea]

MVP Baseball 2004 (GC) $25
Super Smash Bros. $16

The trade one in get a new game for $29.99 has been changed to $39.99 at the game rushes near me. Is that true elsehwere?

[drfrielgood]

I got $25 for Wild Arms 3 tonight. Unfortunately, the game cost me $15 used at EB. But when you get $35 credit from EB for Chronicles of Riddick, it doesn't hurt so bad.

[PrinceNeil]

I traded in a Wild Arms 3 today at GR and got $25 credit for it. Wish I would have picked up more copies at CC. :P

[robwhit1]

I see that some people are not able to trade in Wild Arms 3. Is there a list of games that BB will not take? Or is this just a random mix up? I have several games that I was planning on taking in but most of the aren't going to get much value from the games. I was wanting to use them for trade in 2 and get one for 9.99 deal.

[jshorr]

can anyone get a recent number on:

Ninja Gaiden
Hitman Contracts - PS2
Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow - XB

thanks

[JAMMR]

I think Contracts is at $20...

[ksuwild25]

Traded in today:

$22 for SC: PT (xbox)
$7 for ESPN NHL Hockey (ps2)

I traded in espn still sealed, and the guy was like woah. I'm suprised he didn't open the seal, but I didn't care, since it was out of my hands either way. Also picked up Full Spectrum Warrior.

[jshorr]

I think Contracts is at $20...

[drfrielgood]

Yeah, Driv3r is still $30 credit. I really want to find Driv3r, Showdown: Legends of Wrestling and Spiderman 2 preowned for this deal.

[Ebraum]

I gave up on the Driver about 3 mins into a quick driving mission. A bullet whole was next to the trunk of my car. Not on the trunk. Not even on the car. Just fucking floating in the air next to the car while I was driving around. That's pretty much all I needed to see. Finish the fucking game before you release it Atari !! See you tomorrow GameRush.

[doubledown]

Anyone know what I could get for:

Star Wars:Clone Wars
Splashdown
Dead To Rights

ALL XBOX

[MixMasta]

Does anyone know if you have to be a member of that particular blockbuster to use Gamerush?? Because the threee closet BB's arent GR, but there are a few about 15 minutes away from my house.

[y2jrevolution]

Does anyone know if you have to be a member of that particular blockbuster to use Gamerush?? Because the threee closet BB's arent GR, but there are a few about 15 minutes away from my house. I have gone to 3 gamerush stores that I am not a member to. All they do is call the BB that you are a member at to confirm your membership. It's really no problem at all.

[Usa Ghost]

Simpsons hit and run xbox $20.

i got 3 of them from CC. :)


Hey toocool? Did you get Hit and Run for $4.99 or did you just buy three of them at regular price. If Hit and Run is in this deal,i have to leave again today. Thx in advance

[video_gamer324]

Boktai is $12. I think I'm going to keep my single copy though.

Resident Evil Code Veronica is $21
Dino Crisis 3 was around $12

Just to clarify, I'm assuming your RE:CVX is the GC version. I traded in the PS2 version not too long ago and only got $5.

[ksuwild25]

Went back today and traded these in:

Rainbow Six 3 (xbox) - $20
AvP: Extincton (xbox) - $21 :shock: more than RS3

Got WindWaker for 9.99.

I also brought a piece of paper with some of my games written down and found out these prices:

Xbox

Roadkill - $8
Run Like Hell - $13 (probably be going back to trade this in) :)

[doubledown]

Anyone know what I could get for:

So, no help on these?

[jgb0607]

Dead To Rights

ALL XBOX

They would not take back my Clone Wars because it came with my GF's XBox, so sorry. I would imagine if you purchased it, the trade would be very low.

[sying]

Um, just a little piece of advice. Open the games, take the price tags off; the less the resellers know what values the games really are the less of a chance they will be able to have the competitive knowledge to change thier price and the longer we can SAVE!

Vive le CAG!!!!!!

[Trakan]

quick question, did anybody here trade these games in at a blockbuster? or all at official gamerush's? cuz i'd have to trade them into a regular blockbuster. thanks

[chrisflyer]

Any idea on Beach Spikers GCN?

[video_gamer324]

quick question, did anybody here trade these games in at a blockbuster? or all at official gamerush's? cuz i'd have to trade them into a regular blockbuster. thanks

I think you have to trade at GameRush. Last I recall, regular Blockbuster stores do not accept trade-ins.

[Trakan]

they're called blockbuster gamerush's. i have traded to them in the past. i know that they take trade ins, just wondering if the values were correct for both bb and gamerush, because there are no gamerush's in wisconsin

[toocool17]

Star Wars Clone Wars is $8

[suppershopper]

Here Are some trade values, most of these are Circuit city $5 games:

GBA
Justice League chronicles-not very good game play poor graphics $13
Boktai - $2 - funny thing is it was worth $12 last week..I didnt know values could drop that fast.....not even worth $2
Zone of the enders- $9

XBox
Mojo $8 got tired of this game fast
Robin hood defender of the crown $21 ....I cant believe this is such a high value; this is easily one of the games with the worse gameplay....its right up there with super shrek party...very bad...
Gladius $12...I thought this was pretty good...I got an extra copy as a gift and they didnt like playing it so I traded it.

Road Kill $8---kept this...for 4 player fun
zoocube $3 I probably wont keep this one....very outdated gameplay and graphics

[MixMasta]

Here Are some trade values, most of these are Circuit city $5 games:

GBA
Justice League chronicles-not very good game play poor graphics $13
Boktai - $2 - funny thing is it was worth $12 last week..I didnt know values could drop that fast.....not even worth $2
Zone of the enders- $9

XBox
Mojo $8 got tired of this game fast
Robin hood defender of the crown $21 ....I cant believe this is such a high value; this is easily one of the games with the worse gameplay....its right up there with super shrek party...very bad...
Gladius $12...I thought this was pretty good...I got an extra copy as a gift and they didnt like playing it so I traded it.

Road Kill $8---kept this...for 4 player fun
zoocube $3 I probably wont keep this one....very outdated gameplay and graphics
State of emergency $3 havent tried this one yet.

Damn, Mojo had an 8 dollar trade in? They had a ton of those at my CC's.

BTW, can anyone tell me the trade in value on THPS3 for Xbox. EB offered me .75 cents.

[norkusa]

Anyone know the trade-in credit for Kirby's Air Ride & Transformers? I picked them up from GR only because I couldn't find anything I really wanted. Haven't even touched them yet so I think I'm going to trade them back.

Space Channel 5 (PS2) - $25 for disc 1, $2 for disc 2

You'll probably have some trouble whether you're trying to trade in just disc 1 or both discs as two separate games. My advice to help things run smoother: don't give them the cover art (the barcode won't scan anyway), and keep the two discs separated (i.e. in separate cases).

[doubledown]

Do they give you CASH or credit for your games? I want to get rid of my NCAA 2005, and if I can get $35 cash for it...so be it. I only paid $40 for it.

Yeah, you can do it one of 2 ways....

couldnt be further from the truth

they dont subtract no matter what condition the game is in try again pal

[SkiDragon]

I can confirm this. I ask what the prices are before I even show them the game, then, because I am such a cheapass, and because it looks less suspicious than trading in a new game, I keep the book and case and just give them disks. Can always use more cd cases...

[GameDude]

yeah, i hate it when people trade in the game with no manual. I don't care about the box, but i hate not having the cover and book. :(

[polobearjp]

yeah, i hate it when people trade in the game with no manual. I don't care about the box, but i hate not having the cover and book. :(

Same here but luckily for me, all the games I've gotten at GameRush have had a manual and the cover. For anybody who wants original cases, just ask one of the employees there. One of the employees told me that they just throw them away so I asked for one and he just gave it to me...

[drfrielgood]

Wow, you hoard game manuals and covers. Why don't you just leave them in the case when you trade a game in and let the next owner receive the product in its completeness? I sure as hell hate it when I find a game I've been looking for only to find that there's no manual inside the case.

[vanlandw]

i don't buy used games unless they come with the manual and cover....the box is no big deal because my toys r us sells the x-box and ps2 cases for 25 cents

same here. you should ask them for a few xbox, ps2 cases when your there and see if they'll give them too you.

i don't know if offering them back their BB case would do anything but it's worth a shot if they don't want to hand you cases for free

a BB near me sells them 10 cases for a buck. or you can find one that gives them out

I traded in Xbox versions of Robin Hood and Indiana Jones. RH was $21 and IJ was like $3-$5. I think $3 though.

yea I do the same thing but its not like EVERYTIME

I do it really for having an extra case or so

I only have like 4 extra manuals and like 2-3 cases but I have traded a ton at gamerush

[GameDude]

Well, I swap the cases back to the crappy blockbuster ones, but I also give them the cover art and manuals. They just get rid of the cases anyway. I don't know why people have to be so greedy.

[Grimlock]

Anyone know if Drake still goes for $21?

Yup. Found two copies at a Gamestop for $6 each and tried them at two different Game Rushes last night, and both rang up $21 in trade.

Robin Hood-Defender of the Crown is also getting $21 in trade still as well.

I finally got around to playing it and it was kinda easy and got a bit boring after about 3 or 4 levels. Glad it was cheap.

Still have my coupon trade 2 get $20+credit off. Now to decide on a XBOX game

[ksuwild25]

I traded in SWAT about a month ago for $7. Also Wild Arms 3 was $12 for me also. I've traded in a couple of those and I always seem to get different prices. First time it was $21, then it jumped up to $25, then back down to $21, and now at $12. I've only seen a trade-in price go up twice, once with Wild Arms and the other one was Halo (went from 20 to 16, and now it's back at 20)

[Mojimbo]

thanks for the response. according to gamestop's website the only stores that have used drake's are on the other side of town but there's two local ones that have new copies for only a dollar more(according to the website), I'll probably just get those and save myself time and gas money.

[bobslidell]

Get a load of this.

Dr. Muto (GCN) - $21.00

Just traded it in to get Pikmin 2. Couldn't believe it as this game new was 19.99 when it came out two years ago. Must be a mistake. In any case, it was at a Glendale, CA store. If you have the game, I suggest sprinting to Blockbuster...now.

[doubledown]

Thanks for the Dead To Rights value...I may just keep it since I still have not beat it....kinda lost interest though

I also just ordered DRAKE from Gamestop for $6.99 to use as trade in fodder since it is fetching $21. Hopefully I can still get that much for it when I try.

[Green-Bull]

How much does Corvette (PS2) get you? I saw that at GameStop for maybe $14.99. I read in this topic that the XBOX version had good trade value, I thought.

At GameStop I was looking for Drake but didn't find any. Anyone know how much EB (the actual store) sells Drake for? Thanks for any info.

I asked the guy at GameRush about these though.

Doom 2 (GBA) = $9.00
All-Star Baseball 2003 (GC) = $2.00
Knockout Kings 2003 (GC) = $2.00
Zelda Wind Waker (GC) = $18.00

[timmylamb]

Just FYI I saw drake at frys for 12.99 each, and I they fetch 22$ at GR. Add 5$ each for the 3 for 5$ trade deal or 10$ each for the preorder deal and your looking at least 13$ profit for each. Ya gamestop sells drake for 7$ new but most of the ones around here are tapped out of drake.

[fireball343]

Moblie light force 2-$2
Smugglers Run-$2

[WSkywalker]

Tiger Woods 2003 GC got me $7. I was so suprised

[andrew333]

just a warning -- i believe dr muto for ps2 and xbox only catches $2

[snowmizer]

(Xbox) NCAA 2005 has dropped from $35 to $30 as a trade-in.

The month-newer Maddens are still at their original values, though.

[kaji7p56]

so far I've traded 15 Drakes at various stores and got about $330 in credit. I spent about $110 at Gamestop.com for the Drakes. You guys do the math. And the best part is, this is totally legal. Last night a Gamerush employee told me "You can bring in as many Drakes as you want. We sell them for $34.99. If that's what the company wants to pay, then who am I to say anything"

I'm gonna buy some more Drakes and and pre-order every damn game they have.

[timmylamb]

Sorry I thought I read that dr muto was 21, guess I was wrong but most of the GR around here are nice enough to tell me at least a couple of buy back prices over the phone unlike other companies.

[andrew333]

my game rush guy says he is expecting a dramatic readjustment on the drake trade-in price because they have taken so many in the last week

[ksuwild25]

Yeah, there are a bunch of Drakes at my GRs and it seems like a bunch of people on this site are using a lot of Drakes at their GRs. I bet whenever they do their next price system update Drake will drop to $1 to $2 in trade-in credit.

[drfrielgood]

I work at a Gamerush and checked out the repricing for previously played games for next week. Drake's price will not be changing from $34.99, at least for next week. Hopefully the trade value will not decrease.

[kaji7p56]

my game rush guy says he is expecting a dramatic readjustment on the drake trade-in price because they have taken so many in the last week

Your Gamerush guy is probably jealous that he didn't think of trading in Drakes himself.

[drfrielgood]

I've been expecting a dramatic readjustment on the trade-in prices for Drake for the last two months, and it never changed from $21. Well, until this past week when it was raised to $22. I noticed that Gamecrazy sells Drake for $35 used as well. I wonder what they give in store credit for this game? You know, cause I don't want to be stuck with 5 copies of this wretched game if the trade value drops at Gamerush tomorrow.

[x_fiddle]

I talked with a 2 store managers the past few week and they both said that they were planing on calling in to the nation headquarters regarding drake trade-in values among a few other games. I wouldnt be suprised at all if there was a price drop this week.

Did you recommend that they call, or were they gonna do it anyway? WHy would the store managers care? That is the price that Blockbuster Corporate set, so let THEM decide when they want to change it. Nobody loses in this. Why is everyone hating on this so much?

[andrew333]

i don't think anyone has a problem with people doing this generally

people who abuse it and, even worse, publicly announce their abuse of it are going to cause a policy change at a store that has been good to gamers (like i said my game rush guy is expecting a change but he is not, as far as i know, actively trying to institute one)

[buster90]

WHeel of Fortune I got $18 for that and it sells for $20 new but I bought it for $5.

[kaji7p56]

The good thing is that there will always be games that will "fall through the cracks" like Drake. If a game blows hard and nobody touches it, Gamestop or EB will sell it for cheap while Gamerush will give you top dollar while it is still new.

[doubledown]

I hope they don't drop the price of DRAKE at GameRush. I just ordered 2 copies at Gamestop. Hopefully I get them soon before the price goes down. My luck, it will drop to $1 and I will get screwed in the deal. Oh well, at least I can use them for trade fodder either way.

Not bad....I wonder what Burnout 3 goes for? Probably $35 I'm guessing. Still debating if I want to keep the game or not

[Espanto]

Burnout 3 is great, man! Unless you already beat it or don't have live or something....

[pimp tyranny]

don't have gamerush

[andrew333]

has everyone received the extra $5 credit when combining with the $20 pre-order credit?

[JamisonBWolsh]

I did three times.....depends on the rep helping you out...

[Engineer_J]

sometimes they let me, sometimes they don't YMMV, I usually just wait till next time or try another Gamerush, sometimes if your nice it will make a difference or maybe don't talk about the pre-orders till after the trade, I don't think they can easily give you back your trades? Don't know if that will work or not.

[andrew333]

i just took a look at the "$20 off pre-order" coupon (which i presume contains the same policy for their non-coupon dealings) and it is pretty clear that the offer may not be combined with any other offer so it sounds like you guys got lucky

i have a pretty good relationship with my game rush guy so i will bring it up but it doesn't look like it is something i can say i was entitled to

anyone else have a different interpretation?

[Pancake Rabbit]

anyone have something smart to say when the guy asks me why im trading in 2 copies of the same game (drake)?

You could say whatever you wanted, you had an extra copy someone got you, a friend gave it to you to trade in...but really, it's none of anyone's business. They may think or know you got them cheaper elsewhere and are getting over on them...but the limit is 2 per title and beyond that it's really none of their business.

...because the game was so awsome, you needed 2 incase on broke.
...ordered it online, and the "2" key is sooo close to the "1."
...your trash was full.
...it was a cruel birthday joke.
...because you system linked it for twice the drake goodness (shh..it's a feature!).
...because you bought it, and then got it as a present later on.
...because your blockbuster offers an insane buy-back credit on it, and you want to increase profits.
...because, stfu and gimmie my credit!....please.

[andrew333]

my GR guys says the limit is 3 per title per day

[timmylamb]

Zip it, dont say anything dont act nervous cause if you do they will ask you, just make like your trading in 4 games. When I traded 2 drakes in at the same time the rep commented "wow we been getting alot of these in lately" and 2nd time at another store "wow you got 22$ for this game and you only paid 6.99"(yes I left the tag on some of the games on), of course I was trading in stacks of 10 games each time and the only dupe was drake each time. They never hassled me or anything, if it comes down to it say your friend heard GR was giving good credits for the game and you both wanted to dump it cause you didnt want it anymore.

[Pancake Rabbit]

thanks for the ideas!

[snowmizer]

Some of you make it sound like you're smuggling cocaine through customs. :D

Do you think a Blockbuster clerk really cares about why you've got any combination of titles? As long as the game is in the system (I personally know PSX Command & Conquer is not), and you're following the rules (such as with number of duplicates), everything is fine.

And I can't even imagine not getting the extra $5/$3 per title along with the $20 off, based on how it's done at mine... first, everything gets traded in, and you sign the paperwork to make it a done deal, then we move on to which games will be preordered (my GR still requires just one trade-in to get $20 off a new game), and the clerks scan whatever paperwork's hiding in their drawer to make it happen.

I usually stuff the games I want to trade in a balloon, then eat it. I get to BB just in time to pass it in the bathroom, and trade it in. The whole time I'm in the store I wear dark glasses too. I perfected this renting the softcore movies at BB, cause they got da chicks wit da boobs.

Traded in 3 games today and got the two deals combined. Here are my trades:

Space Channel 5 (PS2)-> $30 ($25+$5) this costs $9.99 preowned at EB.
Culdcept (PS2)-> $26 ($21+$5) this costs $11.99 preowned at EB.
Timesplitters 2 (GCN)-> $13 ($8+$5) had this for a while, got it at EB for $9.99 preownded at EB but just picked up a new copy cheap at the Tower clearance because my old one didn't have instructions.

Preordered Halo 2, they said it wasn't the limited edition, but that I could maybe return it and upgrade when it comes in. Plus I still have $36 credit on my account.

[Mojimbo]

has everyone received the extra $5 credit when combining with the $20 pre-order credit?from what I saw when I preordered burnout last week, if the clerk doesn't know(or care) that technically he shouldn't combine the deals it should go through fine. first he'll give you credit for your games and have you sign that you accept their offer(this is when he would activate the trade 3 games, get $5+ credit deal). after that he would scan in the barcode for the pre-order deal. the pre-order deal isn't actually triggered by the computer, the clerk has to do the deal manually at his discretion(he scans in a barcode into the computer, just like if it was a coupon) AFTER you trade in your games so there shouldn't be problems on the computer side, it should depend on the clerk you get. this is from what I observed, I don't work for gamerush so I could be wrong.

[timmylamb]

Ok out of 4 times pre ordering and trading in at least 4 games each time, twice I was given both offers on my trade in preorders, twice I only got the preorder credit no extra 5$ for tradeins. I guess it will depend on the clerk. My advice if the clerk looks like a jerk dont try it, if hes a manager dont try it, but if they look cool just kinda ask nonchalant if both deals are combinable, two times I did get the deal I just asked hey I was wondering if those deals are combinable, I didnt demand it or anything. And the posters above are correct, they take your game trade ins and give you credit, at that point they can give you the extra 5$, then they will do the transaction with the preorders, both transactions should be independent of each other so offers CAN stack if the want to do it for you.

Oh and for Halo 2 orders, when I preorderd the guy told me they didnt have the special edition, when I went back later they had it so I asked if I could change it, the chick told me that the first 150 people that preorderd Halo 2 will get the special edition.

[andrew333]

even though i still consider them great deals, i am a little bummed that on my last 6 pre-orders i didn't get the extra $5 per trade ($60 worth), the guy i deal with at game rush is very cool so maybe i will see if he will right this egregious wrong when i pick up Fable wednesday :)

[Mojimbo]

here's some trade-in values from my run tonight:

drake(xbox) - $22
top spin(xbox) - $13
sphinx(xbox) - ~$1(or $1.50)
futurama(ps2) - $8
max payne(gba) - $13
karnaaj rally(gba) - $13 :shock:
jet grind radio(gba) - $5
ballistic:ecks vs sever - $1.50

kinda meh on most unless you combine the $5+ and the $20 off pre-order deal.

[dracula]

so far I've traded 15 Drakes at various stores and got about $330 in credit. I spent about $110 at Gamestop.com for the Drakes. You guys do the math. And the best part is, this is totally legal. Last night a Gamerush employee told me "You can bring in as many Drakes as you want. We sell them for $34.99. If that's what the company wants to pay, then who am I to say anything"


Which los angeles GR said this? btw, nice score on the trade ins. Maybe you can get steel battalion with that

Actually, I traded them in a various local Gamerushes (check the site), and I will be getting a Nintendo DS and some games with that credit. If I can still get this credit for a few more week, then I will have enough for a Sony PSP also.

Prince of Persia-$7
Drake-$22
Rayman 3 -$18
Tiger Woods 2004-$8

GC

F-Zero GX-$7

Not too bad since I got the extra $5 per game. I did have 2 Drakes to trade in. I ended up with $114!

[Chuckiefresh]

Traded in a few games today:

$35 Madden 2005 (xbox)
$35 Ncaa Footbal 2005 (xbox)
$7 Rocky (xbox)
$3 Mark of Kri (ps2)

[VA]

anyone know what games are on GR's preorder list?

There's a few more that I would like to preorder, but it would be really helpful to know what's on the list.

Has anyone preordered Nocturne for PS2?

[Chuckiefresh]

Traded in a couple more:

$25 Spiderman 2 (xbox)
$25 Dynasty Tactics 2 (ps2)

I picked up a couple copies of Dynasty Tactics 2 today at my local Toysrus for $15 a piece. I'm not sure if it's chain wide or not but my local store had a few sorry titles for 50% off.

My thanks to the prior posters who mentioned Dynasty Tactics 2. Trading in 2 copies of Dynasty Tactics 2 with the $20 off preorder deal gave me a total trade in value of $35 each. Not as good as some of the past deals but that's $70 total from the original $30 investment.

[Santurio]

how much does Spawn(Xbox) or Silent Scope Complete get in trade???

[norkusa]

Anyone know what the trade-in value for Fable is? I got a used copy from Gamerush today with the "trade 3 used in, get PO for $10" coupon. It was priced at $44.99, so I'd imagine it'd be pretty high. Didn't see it listed on the recent flyer either.

[buster90]

^^^

I would assume Fable is either $30 or $35. Most likely $35.

Two others I traded in today are:

PS2 NFL Gameday 2003- $1.50
Xbox Pirates of the Carribiean- $18.00

[lawyeron]

Fable is 30

[aarif1]

i traded in ESPN nba 2k4 yesterday for $8.
if you trade it in with a couple more games for the extra $5, thats 13, only $7 more for the 2k5, coming in a couple weeks. not bad.

[stoned99]

I got 17$ for Shrek2

[Snowcone]

I just called my Gamerush and they told me the trade in for Drake was $2.

I have 2 of them that I just picked up. I am highly annoyed and since they were new they may be going back to CC if they take them back.
