They have that trade in deal where you get 8 credit for any dvd you trade in.
I traded 15 crappy dvd's and got $120 in store credit. I walked out with
New
Limited edition street fighter anniversary collection controller (akuma version)
NBA 2k5 Xbox
used
Chronicles of Riddick
Madden 2005 xbox
Psi ops PS2
Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes
1 magazine and 1 regular movie rental.
All of this totalled over 190 bucks but they have that buy a game get the 2nd for half off, that I forgot about, and the dude gave me too many discounts I think. I ended up paying $3.20 at the end of all this. I hated all the movies that I traded and turned them into some deals. I'm super pumped about all this stuff I got for movies that were just taking up space on my shelves. Went to two different blockbusters to get all this.

What were the quality of DVD's you traded in? Were they cheap $5.99 Walmart movies, or ones with a higher retail price?
Just wondering if they really do take anything for $8...

We should make a list out of cheap dvds that have a high trade in value so you can get lots of credit. I want a cheap DS.

My blockbuster doesn't do trade-ins, which is really lame. Although every time I go in there, I eye the same copy of Blaster Master for PS1 but never buy it.

I saw that the other day for like 2 bucks at EB. I almost bought it, but got MDK instead

I just got back myself and traded in 7 old dvds. Picked up for the xbox:
Prince of Persia (New/sealed)
NFL Street (Used, but complete w/instructions and no scratches)
Max Payne 2 (Used and complete w/instructions with just a couple of scratches)
and
The Power Puff Girl Movie (New/Sealed) for my daughter
and still had a few dollars left of credit
This is definitely a great deal if you have some old DVDs to get rid of, especially since they have the buy one preowned game get the second half off deal going also....

The best thing to do is combnine the blockbuster deals! You will score BIG TIME. Like trade in three for 5 more each then buy two preownds get one half off + buy 2 get new preorders for 29.99! i have goteen some crazy deals doing this. Where I trade two/three crap (target clerence) games in get what they are worht (more then paid off allready) plus the 5 more on each then buy 2 newer/cooler games for half off. Get money left over. Put down on preorder get pre order for 29.99 minus what I put down. (get more target clence next month) Trade them when game preorderd comes out. get preorderd for under ten! Blockbuster Rules!
Repeat process.
Watch game library expand with cool titles.
Beat these games quick trade them in for 35-40 at blockbucter!

Three Kings was probably the best of the bunch. I watched it about 3 or 4 times, and traded it because I won't watch it again, anytime soon at least. The rest of the movies I just bought but didn't care for that much. I'm probably going to trade 7 or 8 more tomorrow. I love cutting the crap out of my DVD collection. More space on my shelf too. :lol:
