MEDIA PLAY...
Sorry if this has been posted but they have a deal, "NEW TUESDAYS". You can trade in ANY 5 games for a Brand-New Release, but at the store by me lets you get any games. So I went to Gamestop and bought 20 games that are $4.99 and under and I trade them in at Media Play. I got DEF JAM Fight For NY, Burnout 3, and X-Men Legends. I'm using the 4th to get Donkey Konga. This is the best store ever! So that's around $25 for a brand new game.

So, I can trade in any 5 games like 5 copies of Madden 2001?

I'm not sure about that but let me find out for you tomorrow and I will let you know definitely. But I trade in games like Extermination ($3.99 used at Gamestop) May Payne (GH) ($4.99 Used Gamestop) Sega GT 2002/JSRF ($2.99 Gamestop) and they took them all w/ no questions. So I spend around $85 after using the Gamestop Card savings to get $200 worth of games.

Just called Media Play--they have a computer that tells you what games are and aren't accepted...so basically you go in there and test your luck I guess...

Which Media Play is this? If it's somehow the one closest to me I might have to make the hour trip to pick up some games on a Tuesday in the near future.

Ah well. I was hoping for St. Cloud, MN, but just wishful thinking. Thanks, though. Anyone near the St. Cloud MP that could possibly check this out?

Is it just Media Play, or is it also other Musicland stores as well? The only Musicland store I have in town is Sam Goody.

This sounds very much like a YMMV to me. I've got a feeling that the original poster's store isn't sticking to the official rules here. It's great for him, and anyone else who can shop at that store, but I've got a feeling that this isn't a widespread deal...

i just called my media play. dude on the phone said ANY ps2, gc, or xbox games they would take. 5 used for 1 new. i asked and he said that as far as he knew that all were doing it to promote their used game section.

Nice, does SEGAGT2002/JSRF count as two?
Pootie Thang

Sega GT 2002/JSRF only counted as 1 game. But yeah it looks like every Media Play is doing it. This is the best ways to get new games... I mean who can beat $25 for a new game? Even that Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale at Toys R Us will be $33 each game.

I just called, and they said that they will take any game as long as their system "recognizes" it. I think I spelt that right...

This is dumb, I just called again today and they said the game had to be valued over $19.99 new! What BS they make over $100 every time. Bleh!

LoL That sucks for you man... I'm sorry! The store here is awesome... I traded in stuff like the Mark of Kri and Auto Modellista. I even traded in Spawn Armageddon and they took it.
I think GameRush is the best game store ever. How should we settle this?
