If its a plain old Block Buster...no go.

I live in MI, and the 4 GR's ive gone to have had this sale going on with 2 other sales, Buy one, Get 1 %50 off and Trade in any game, get $10 off a 39.99 or more NEW game.

Not all GR's are in on this. Of those that do, the rules vary by compentence.

[Gothic Walrus]

Does GameRush sell used GBA games? I've never been in one before...if they do, though, it might be worth it to go to GameStop, get me some cheap Iridion, and get myself some better games for cheap. :)

[Wshakspear]

yes, yes they do. im thinkin of going for a Mario and luigi later today. BTW, the limit is 2 per day (9.99) games.

[guessed]

These insane GameRush deals keep popping up, making me wish there was a GameRush near me. :cry:

[Wshakspear]

Sorry. and actually, there a THREE deals running at the same time:

Buy 1 PO, get 1 %50 off.
Trade in any game, buy a new game for $10 less.
Trade in 2, buy 1 PO for 9.99.

they're my friends now.

[GameDude]

Whoa crap, man. That's AWESOME! I REALLY wish they were in Cincinnati. :(

[Mr. Anderson]

Alas. Thar be no GameRush's here.

[pimpinc333]

Whats a gamerush

[fastkilr]

It is a gaming store.

[gsr]

this is smoking hot..i'm gonna have to pull out a couple crappy games and trade them in

[Wshakspear]

BTW, NO exclusions as far as game goes (it just has to be ps1,ps2,GC,Xbox,GBA)

and if any of you want to have, check what you can get some of them traded in for $ wise. If you beat games quickly, its like being paid to rent :twisted:

[goldengraham]

Jeez, tha deal is ridiculously good. Too bad Gamerush is only in 10 states and mine isn't one of them. :cry:

[Wshakspear]

bump/question:

What games should i pick up? Ive got GC, Xbox, and access to a ps2. I know i dont have a listing of my games, but i dont have much new (and popular). MGS:TS and Wario Ware are 2 possibilities, but im wondering if there are any other "Must have"gaves them im not must having at the moment

[Steggy]

why dont they get a gamerush over in wisconsin? :(

[goldengraham]

Or one here in North CA? I would even drive quite a bit and burn a lot of gas for a deal like this.

[nathan_the_rock]

so... you're telling me I could go to my local ebgames and buy two $1-3 PSone games, trade those in at GameRush, and get ANY new next gen game for $9.99????

[goldengraham]

so... you're telling me I could go to my local ebgames and buy two $1-3 PSone games, trade those in at GameRush, and get ANY new next gen game for $9.99????

Gotta rub it in don't ya? :)

[Cmosfm]

DAMMIT! I just called EVERY FUCKING BLOCKBUSTER GAME RUSH STORE IN MY AREA AND NO ONE IS DOING IT! THey seemed like they knew what I was talking about but were VERY quick to say NO.

shit, I was so excited too. Now I am SO pissed.

:evil: :evil: :evil:

[doraemonkerpal]

i'm gonna start praying for a gamerush in socal [-o<

[polobearjp]

so... you're telling me I could go to my local ebgames and buy two $1-3 PSone games, trade those in at GameRush, and get ANY new next gen game for $9.99????

No, not a NEW next gen game for $9.99 any USED next gen game for $9.99... Or you could save $10 bux off a NEW game if you trade in 1...

[Wshakspear]

so... you're telling me I could go to my local ebgames and buy two $1-3 PSone games, trade those in at GameRush, and get ANY new next gen game for $9.99????

Yes. Cool huh? :) and whatever those games are worth goes towards that 9.99.

[sj41]

So some Blockbusters are doing this too.

[Wshakspear]

if your BB has a gamerush, they are doing this. I have not encountered a Blockbuster without a gamerush that does ANY trade-ins.

[sj41]

Should it have a huge sign or something if it is a gamerush?

[Wshakspear]

Yes, if not out with the "lighted at night" signs, then as a big banner in some window. also, all the ones ive seen have entire windows covered with gamerush "backing" cause thats where thier counter space is, right next to the old counters.

[nathan_the_rock]

lol... by "new" I meant "recent" I realize that the games are used.
this is certainly one of the best deals I have seen in a while, now just to see if my GameRush has any games that I want.

PS. I have a $20 Blockbuster gift card... since GameRush is in blockbuster can a blockbuster gift card be used there??? Thanks, if so I can get 2 games... i'll just stop and pick up the cheapest PSone game I can find.

[sj41]

This sucks. I can't believe I can't do this deal.

[SevereTireDamage]

Wow.. this sounds like an unbelievable deal. Too bad there aren't any GameRush stores around here.

[sj41]

Why hasn't Gamerush expanded yet?

[drfrielgood]

I've definately got about 15 games out of this deal by buying old PS1 and PS2 sports games and trading them in. It costs me an average of about $6-$10 out of pocket for each game.

[Sporadic]

What states have a Gamerush?

[Wshakspear]

PS. I have a $20 Blockbuster gift card... since GameRush is in blockbuster can a blockbuster gift card be used there??? Thanks, if so I can get 2 games... i'll just stop and pick up the cheapest PSone game I can find.

The gift card should work with gamerush, as my gamerush card is a "Blockbuster Stored Value Card"...

Btw, limitations on this sale is 2 per day and 20 per month (?)

[drfrielgood]

Where were you limited to 2 per day? I've done the deal in Brighton, Wixom, Novi, and Farmington and was never limited as to how many games I could get.

[pimpinc333]

Hey who remembers a place in Blockbuster like 10 years ago called Zappers im not sure if it was only in my area but if any of u heard of this tell me thx

[JSweeney]

I have a game rush about 2-3 hundred feet away from a EB around me. I'm definately planning to see what gamerush has in stock either tonight or tomorrow morning. :)

[killermike3706]

whoe this is hott and there are plenty of gamerushes at where i live(houston). So here i go.

[Wshakspear]

Where were you limited to 2 per day? I've done the deal in Brighton, Wixom, Novi, and Farmington and was never limited as to how many games I could get.

im just saying what the handout says, so if you get a BIG FREAKIN MORON WHO CANT READ, like a certain woman at 11 and novi, you may get limited.

[Strider Turbulence]

DAMMIT! I just called EVERY shaq-fuing BLOCKBUSTER GAME RUSH STORE IN MY AREA AND NO ONE IS DOING IT! THey seemed like they knew what I was talking about but were VERY quick to say NO.

shit, I was so excited too. Now I am SO pissed.

:evil: :evil: :evil:


ha ha. I did the same thing. They might just not know of it but the closet Gamerush to me is still far away and I really don't need to risk going there if they aren't havnig this promotion.

Sucks too because I have tons of psone games I don't want anymore and the local pawn shops has tons more sucky commons for $1-3.

[dracula]

ok this is the deal of the year so far, trade in old psone sports games and get next gen games for a few dollars?!!?!?!? this is definitely a hot deal

[gsr]

well..just made a trip to ballbuster

the gamecube section is pathetic..no recent releases are available...soul calibur 2 was there but no original box, manual

the gamecube new section was pretty bad too..hardly anything

seemed like a ton of games for ps2 and xbox were available

the games that i was looking for:

prince of persia(40 new, no used available)
viewtiful joe(no new, no used)
soul calibur 2(no new, used 14.99 w/o box, manual)

i didn't want to trade in a game and ge PoP for 30 because it's on the verge of dropping and some people on the board are saying that it's available for 20 bucks at target

[Wshakspear]

otogi : 9.99 :)

i remember saying at the beggining of the month "honey, im not gonna buy any games this month, unless its too good of a deal to pass up"

glad i said the small print :)
Mario Kart DD
Prince Of Persia
Otogi

XIII from CC

well, 3 really good games and 1 good DM for under $30...i think thats a good deal :)

[scuba]

dang! I have like 20 in Michigan and 2 are close to me :) I am going to check this out tomorrow. As long as its complete and works they will take it?

[Wshakspear]

dang! I have like 20 in Michigan and 2 are close to me :) I am going to check this out tomorrow. As long as its complete and works they will take it?

...actually, ive traded in some games disk/cartridge only. im not sure on thier policy for this, but hey, they took them no problem. And considering ive done this at 3 GR in michigan, im sure most any in MI should be doing it.

[ksuwild25]

I got MGS TTS in this for Turok and Project Gotham Racing. I tried getting rid of my Rainbow Six 3 Companion Disk but they wouldn't accept it, so maybe demo discs are excluded. Like Wshakspear said they will take disk/cartridge only also. They had a poor selection here also, but luckily I have 2 others close by. :D

[scuba]

I couldn't find the deal on the website, where did you find out about it? so they take disc only? even for ps1 games :)

[guessed]

Why hasn't Gamerush expanded yet?

With deals like this, they seem more likely to go under than expand. What are they going to do with all those old psx sports games?

[Wshakspear]

Why hasn't Gamerush expanded yet?

well, the people who arnt looking to take advantage of the offer, will probably bring back a few normal games they play all the time. you also have to realize, being part of BB, they have tons of the newer games they want to get rid of (Mario Kart DD, RE0, Max Payne 2).

And Scube, i found this deal instore.

[JSweeney]

I went to EB... Got 6 PS1 games that added up to a grand total of $11.. took them over to gamerush, and got 8 dollars in trade in credit for them, and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, Simpson Hit and Run and Sonic Heroes for 30.00.

Ok, thanks for letting me know :) because when I looked online it said nothing about this deal. I bet they are experimenting and if this goes well they will put it in other states

I'm hoping I can get Pandora Tommorow.

[scuba]

I just went and they didn't have anything good :(

I traded in crash bandicoot 2, cd only, road rash 3-d, tekken 3 and nhl 2001 and I got

NFL Street and Prince of Persia the sands of time for 14.39 or something :)

[Wshakspear]

i went and drove around to multiple GR's to find the games i want, and to see what else i could pick up later

[Ribkage]

So not all Game Rush are participating in this deal? If not all I know the one in CT wont be doing it.

Also is the deal still on even?

[nathan_the_rock]

Mine was participating... however they only had crap. And they had erased Psone games from the sign so I asumed that they aren't taking them anymore.

[polobearjp]

I believe the deal started just a few days ago so I'm assuming its not over yet. I stopped by one GameRush on Wednesday or Thursday and didn't see any signs or printouts about this deal. Then I went again on Saturday and they had handwritten signs posted all over the gaming section. Then I headed over to two other ones to see if they had any other games I was interested in and they too had the sloppy handwritten signs...

[robot]

Best deal evaaaaaaa!

I traded in Soldier of Fortune 2 & Murakumo and got Twin Snakes and a $7 gift card. Whoever thought of this deal is just crazy.

I'll be going back later this week, how's 007: Everything or Nothing?

[Wshakspear]

Bond is great. if your playing single player, its the best Bond ever. Multi is lacking though.

[robot]

I was actaully looking to get it for co-op play, but wasn't sure if it supported it or not.

EDIT: nm, found out that it is co-op.

[videogamejunkie]

the game rush stores near me (NC) have no idea what I am talking about when I ask about this deal. Is it only in certain states?

[simpsonps121]

For once, this is an offer that I can not get in on. I called some of the Blockbuster stores near me, and none take video game trade-ins. If anyone knows of any MD stores that offer this, please let me know.
Thanks,
Matthew

[wubb]

Nearest GR is 3 hours away from me. This would have been a fun one to get in on, too. Oh well.

I can't believe they not only let you get any POed for $10 but also let you use the credit for the 2 you traded in towards the $10 purchase. Sweet ass deal. Anyone within 30 minutes of a GR outta hit this one up for all it's worth.

[videogamejunkie]

I am surrounded by these things and none of them are partisipating. I am thinking that is a very YMMV type a deal. Any gamerushes outside of MI have this deal?

[Wshakspear]

drfrielgood and me are the only ones to actually do this, and were both in MI, so we might just end up being lucky bastards

[Pancake Rabbit]

i live in michigan too im gonna stop by gamerush tomorow in livonia ill let u guys know how it goes

[Wshakspear]

if you see any cool new games, let them be known. Most GR's around here have numerous copies of Metal Gear Sold: Twin Snakes, Mario Kart...um, well, thats about it really. i havent really been looking at games that arnt much over 10...although im contemplating using some of the games ive gotten for cheap and beaten to later turn in and get a couple more cheapo games :)

[nathan_the_rock]

Yeah... this could only be in MI... it seems all those that have posted and included their state (including me) live in michigan. I'm planning on going to another GameRush tonight and looking for some decent deals (hopefully that at least have SOMETHING that is new - unlike my other one), i'll let you guys know how it goes.

Shakespear, you forgot Pandora Tommorow. Many of them have multiple copies of that laying around as well... heck, you could take a couple 1.99 PS1 games from EB, buy Pandora Tommorow for 10, and then turn it back in to them for 25 dollars credit and still be ahead about 15 dollars.

Didnt forget, just trying to find games i want to keep :) I can appreciate SC graphics/gameplay/moves, i just dont have the patience to play it. Yet i mention MGS...nope, i dont make no sense :)

Im actually gonna trade in Mario Kart. Cute game...but ive got F-Zero and zero plans to play multi (even online) with MK.

[scuba]

Wshakspear I am thinking about going to the one in Novi, I am sure you have been to that one but is it close to 12 oaks mall? Also if you have been there did they have a good selection?

[Wshakspear]

its a couple of light down, getting closer to northville. This is the one that i waited 1/2 an hour for the lady to figure out "any" meant "any" and not just the ones pictured. Anyways, they had a better xbox selection than the other stores, and an ok Cube section. PS2...honestly, i havent even been looking :(

[zewone]

Gamerush is in california also. The one in my town is particpating in this deal. If anyone lives near me they should be able to pickup two good xbox games. I just traded in Breakdown and KOTOR. You should be able to get both for a good ass price

[scuba]

ok, I think I may just go to the one in commerce township I think its the one across the street from gamestop. They take sports right? for ps1.

[Wshakspear]

how much did you get for breakdown?

[Wshakspear]

ok, I think I may just go to the one in commerce township I think its the one across the street from gamestop. They take sports right? for ps1.

yes, they'll take sports...but if your talking about the BB near franks nursery, i dont think they have GR yet. There's one accross from the Commerce sign (where the drive-in used to be), that one in Novi, one on pontiac trail accros from walled lake western, and one a belive a ways down 15 mile.

[scuba]

Ok, I will check it out =) thanks again.

[zewone]

$25 for breakdown

Pretty good because i already beat it...and i paid $20 brand new

[goldengraham]

Damn, zewone, are there any good GC games available at that gamerush? Fresno is about an hour away from me, but i'd ahte to go with CA gas prices only to get out there and find nothing.

[Wshakspear]

lol...cool, i was gonna go pick it from target (still $20), nothing like having BB pay for me renting :)

[zewone]

i didnt really look at game cube section but i did did notice they had Windwaker

[Wshakspear]

traded in Mario Kart (Paid 9.99, got $25) and Tony Hawk 4 GC (paid $5, got $7) and purchased SC:Pandora Tommorow for 9.99...which i will promptly either beat or figure out i dont like, and then trade that in for $25 worth of credit, giving me around $40+ on my account.

Im hoping all is said and done, ive played/beaten all the games i wanted to, and having enough to buy Psi-Ops or Riddick (or both :) )

[Monsta Mack]

What city in CT is this game rush?
I have multiple blockbusters around me but don't know of any gamerushs. Btw we have a gamecrazy near shooters now.

I'm guessing most games still come in the el-cheapo blockbuster clasp as well.

Either way some good deals I can take advantage on, as long as they are in decently used condition.

[Green-Bull]

I had a question about the other deal, the Buy 1 get the 2nd 50% off.

Could I trade in a game to get some money off 1 game, then still get a 2nd game for 50% off? Probably not, right? Thanks.

Here's two games I asked the trade-in values of.

NBA Street 2 (GC) $8.50
Red Faction 2 (GC) $8.50

[zewone]

i bought 2 ps1 games marked 2.99 each got 1 50% off because of other deal. traded them in to get mafia for 9.99. trade that in and another ps1 game for $23. i kept doing this until i had enough to buy FFXI for PS2. got it for like nothing. now they stopped doing this deal because of me(my friend works there and he said when i left my boss told him not to offer that deal anymore) suckas

I guess there's no point for me to go out to Fresno anymore. :(

[drfrielgood]

Wshakspear, which Blockbuster did you find Pandora Tomorrow at? I managed to find a copy of Hitman: Contracts at the Wixom Gamerush, only one I've seen so far though.

The Commerce Township Blockbuster does NOT have a Gamerush, scubasteve, so don't waste your time with it. If you live in Okemos or Lansing or wherever, your closest Gamerush is in Novi. They've got a decent PS2 and XBox selection, not too good for Gamecube though. The Novi Blockbuster is almost right on the corner of 9 mile and Novi Road. The mall is on 12 mile and Novi Road, so just keep going over 96 a few miles down.

[drfrielgood]

On a side note, I went to the movies on Friday night to see Troy and my wallet slid out of my pocket. The theater hasn't seen it and I've had no success in finding it around my house. Besides the $50 in there, there was also a Blockbuster Stored Value Card. Had about $60 on that thing. I once had over $200 on it thanks to the $25 Rogue Ops trade-ins. Still pretty pissed about losing the thing though...

which theatre? if it was Emagine, i'll have my Girlfriend take a look to see if they found it, or get a name of an usher who's ass you can kick :)

As for Pandora Tommorow, i got it at the Commerce twp at Richardson and union lake lk's rd gr. and to be honest, it will most likely end up at the wixom location later today...i just couldnt get into it. too much of the same...but damn good looking though!

[Wshakspear]

Random, Pointless Bump

[robot]

I'm goin gamecrazy!

[zewone]

oh yeah and wshakspear...thanks for the heads up. i probably wouldn't have got FFXI for SO cheap without your post.

[Wshakspear]

no prob. im actually at the point where im just going to cycle through these games and the ones ive already beaten, possibly to get enough to make a new ps2 a freebie.
The gamerush i went to last night the guy said "you know you can just trade in two shit games instead of these good ones" in reference to Tony Hawk 4 and Mario Kart...made me laugh :)

EDIT: for retardedness reasons

[zewone]

yeah i was reading the fine print and it says you can do trade in 20 games this way a day...and thats just if they pay attention to the fine print..thats still alot of store credit to be made

[doraemonkerpal]

no prob. im actually at the point where im just going to cycle through these games and the ones ive already beaten, possibly to get enough to make a new ps2 a freebie.

wait... is this for gamerush? or for gamecrazy? or both? :lol:

[zewone]

gamerush only

[doraemonkerpal]

gamerush only

thanks. i was just confused b/c of all the people talking about gamecrazy. i can see how it's easy to mix them up. unfortunately, there are no gamerushes near me :(

[Wshakspear]

sorry, that what happens whe all game stores start to look and sound the same...

[robot]

yea it's gamerush, i get those 2 mixed up easily. can anyone confirm that they take back games without the case/instructions?

[scuba]

[YoshiFan1]

No Gamerush stores near me either :(

This seems like an awesome deal

[Monsta Mack]

So where are the Gamerushs located in CT?

[Wshakspear]

yea it's gamerush, i get those 2 mixed up easily. can anyone confirm that they take back games without the case/instructions?

yes, yes they do.

[ElwoodCuse]

Ok so now I'm just massively pissed that there are no Gamerushes for hours.

I didn't mind not getting the $5 Xbox PH games, I didn't mind when Target gave me the runaround for rainchecks, but this deal is just too freaking cool.

[robot]

so i headed back there last night and most of the good games were gone. seems like word spread fast, cause on saturday there were a ton of games to choose from. also, the staff took notice of the deal and bought all the $3 used ps1 games and traded them back in for a more recent used title. some of them were even trading in those said newer titles for store credit to buy dvd's.

they said the deal is being test marketed in select stores, if it's successful, it's going to be a permanent thing, like the trade 1 game in and get $10 off a new game deal they have also. but with all the people taking advantage of the deal, I doubt this will last long.

[Wshakspear]

very interesting. and yeah, the credit can be used on anything in the store. im saving either for a ps2 or a couple of newer games (with that $10 off, of course.)

[zewone]

it wont last...not if there smart

[Ribkage]

[quote]So where are the Gamerushs located in CT? [/quote[

61 Newtown Rd
Danbury, CT 06810
203-744-4200

I never been there, dont even know if they are participating in this deal. Id just guess they arent since its the only one in the state and because CT stores never have any deals that are posted here.

If they are participating in it, lemme know man. :)

[JSweeney]

it wont last...not if there smart

Why? They've already derived all the benefit from having bought the game anyway... all this is doing is clearing their shelves of games that they've already rented out multiple times. From the way it appears, a game will be rented many, many times in the first month, and then after that it languishes on the shelf. Its a great and highly symbiotic thing for them to do to open these stores... they even get a little bit of the sunk cost that they invested in the software to begin with.

They aren't losing anything here, they just aren't making as much profit on that single game. But that can be said about any promotion.
They are, however getting new business thanks to a sale like this.

Like me... I've never traded a game in... ever, until this promotion. Now, if I'm going to trade in any of my videogame software, it's more likely that I'll return to gamerush to do it.

Of course, if you behave like a moron and buy the 2.99 PS1 games at THEIR store and then trade them in, they are more likely to not add PS1 games to the next promo.

[zewone]

what are you talking about? They are losing money because I bought the games for 9.99 and traded them right back to them for $22. I did this until i had enought store credit to buy FFXI, a game they will not be renting out, so no they didnt already get their money back. They lost out of like $85 on just me alone if everyone did that they would be hella screwed

[Wshakspear]

to be honest, they did it against thier policy. on the handout/paperwork you can do this TWICE DAILY. thats there own damn fault, and it worked well for you. I have no problem with what you did, but its one of those nice ways of having a cool promotion never happen again.

and on that note im returning MGS:Twin snakes... i just cant get into it. I think the stealth genre is dead to me.

[zewone]

on the fine print it say 20 games a day this way to be traded in...so thats 10 games for 9.99 a day.. and i was mostly telling JSweeney they are losing money...I feel kinda bad that I stoped the promotion but i was just taking them up on the loophole they put themselves in

[Wshakspear]

2 game a day, 20 a month, actually

[JSweeney]

How can they lose money on a product that they've already derived profit from? They already made their money plus some on every used game that they are selling. If you traded them back for $22 dollars, that means that they had to have made around $40 dollars off of you between the PS1 games you bought to trade in and the other games you bought... and they cleared some old product off of thier shelves.

Heck, Blockbuster could take all of the games they rent out and throw them away when they were done with them and they'd still turn a profit.
Doing it this way, they just get more value out of their purchase.
On top of it, most people won't be like you, and they'll be trading in games with more resale value (if anything, the only thing they'd change about this promo is that they'd stop accepting PS1 games as a trade in.

You are being very short sighted about this...
Not only do they move old product of their shelves, they get new people (some of which are likely to become frequent customers) into their stores.
New customers are much more valuable that a dubious loss on a heavily used preowned game.

[zewone]

i was just saying Final Fantasy XI brand new selling for $15 is not them turning a profit

and they didnt move old product off the shelf because they all went right back when i traded them

[JSweeney]

i was just saying Final Fantasy XI brand new selling for $15 is not them turning a profit

It's not booking a loss either.
This promotion is across all the stores, so not everyone is doing what you did. Actually I think very few people are... They are no worse of on this deal that when people were buying Rogue Ops at Best Buy for 5 dollars and trading it to Gamerush for 25 dollars credit.

Anyways, you weren't exactly following the rules of the promotion, the ills you say this would cause aren't likely to happen... most stores won't put up with what you did, and have every right to refuse a trade in.

[nathan_the_rock]

Well... It would be awesome if they kept this deal, unfortunatltey, you know that many of the best titles after being added would be snatched up by store employees and it would probably be difficult to find good titles.

I was pretty happy with Prince of Persia and Gladius - but I was a little disapionted that they didn't have anything better. But I had a gift card, and I already had crappy Psone games that I didn't want.... I'll definatley be stopping in at the other GameRush near me when I'm out by there every time I get a chance to try and find some deals.

[cousinlump]

Wow. This deal is great. I traded in 6 crappy old, PS1 and PS2 games, picked up 3 new titles AND walked away with $20 in store credit. This deal blows my mind. I can't wait to hit another Gamerush tomorrow.

[Monsta Mack]

[quote]So where are the Gamerushs located in CT? [/quote[

61 Newtown Rd
Danbury, CT 06810
203-744-4200

I never been there, dont even know if they are participating in this deal. Id just guess they arent since its the only one in the state and because CT stores never have any deals that are posted here.

If they are participating in it, lemme know man. :)

Thanks, I'm not sure if I'll be going there anytime soon, but if I do I will give you every single detail possible, since you responded and let me know where it was located. Thanks again.

[Nephets]

So so so so so so so! Wait a second here. I don't mean to sound like a noob here, but, I have 4 games:

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (PS2)
NBA2K2 (GC)
Legends of Wrestling (XB)
Spider-Man (XB)

So, you're saying that I can trade in all four of these games and basically get ANY TWO pre-owned games for 10 bucks? So, I could get two next-gen, used games for 9.99 if I trade in these four? Is this deal still valid? If so tomorrow I'm going to head out and see what they got. I'm hoping to pick up MGS:TTS and probably some other game that interests me there, anyone here from the Dallas area that has traded in anything? Did you get anything good?

Or, another question: I'm a completist, these used games come in their original boxes and have the manuals, correct? If not, I'll be one angry little man.

[Nephets]

BUMP! I'm about to go out to the store in a few hours and I'd like a response please, because I really don't want to look stupid going into there, explaining this deal I only half-understand.

[Wshakspear]

Yes, 2 of those titles will get you one pre-owned game for 9.99. You will also get the trade-in credit on those games.

As for having Manual/original case, it depends. One local GR has wind waker manual and disk but BB casing. then again, i got MGS:TTS with original box, manual and of course both disks. Take note, because only nintendo makes cases that work with blockbusters security latch, you may have to ask for an original xbox or ps2 case if thats the system of your choice.

[Nephets]

Thanks a lot for your help. So, basically, I can get two pre-owned games for 20 bucks today, after I trade in those 4 games? That's awesome. Let's hope they have some good stuff in!

So, wait, I ALSO get trade-in credit, even if I'm redeeming these games for a pre-owned one? Wow, GameRush is pretty awesome.

[Wshakspear]

yes, so whatever those games trade in for goes twards that $20...so might walk out of thier with 2 games and store credit :)

[Nephets]

Wow, so, the trade-in value also goes towards the twenty? Are you saying it's possible to get those games for free and leave with like 6-7 left over dollars? This is amazing if so!

This is valid towards ALL GameRushes, right? I don't mean to sound nervous, I guess I just want to double check. ;)

[scuba]

I think the person said pretty much all ps1 games are 1.50 trade in :)

[Nephets]

What about GC/Xbox/PS2 games? I only have one sports game in that pile.

[polobearjp]

What about GC/Xbox/PS2 games? I only have one sports game in that pile.

You're prolly get $2-3 bux for the next gen sports games unless they're 2004, then you'll get something in double digits. I traded NFL Blitz 2002 and NFL 2k3 and got $2 each but NCAA Football 2004 got me $13... Plus, you're in luck too since Mesquite has 3 GameRushes that supposedly aren't too far from each other. I was thinking about stopping by to check out their selections but gas is getting more expensive by the day so I'll just stick to the Richardson stores...

[Nephets]

With my four games, I think I'll get at least 15 dollars or so. I hope.

And yeah, there are 3 Game Rushes that are pretty close to each other, so I got 3 chances to get something good! :D

[nathan_the_rock]

If they don't give you an original case then ask for one... they gave me them when I asked. As for manuals, it depends... one of my came with one, but another didn't.

[scuba]

I think i got 3 bucks for nhl 2001 (ps2)

I asked for a green case and he gave me one :)

[drfrielgood]

I got seven or eight bucks for trading in NBA 2K3.

[Nephets]

Thanks, guys. I'll actually be heading out to the three Game Rushes near me tomorrow, let's hope I get some good stuff! I'm hoping for MGS:TTS and maybe Max Payne 2, or maybe even Wario Ware on the GCN, though that'll be pretty hard. I'm not exactly sure what I want besides MGS, so, I'll just look around for the best game out there to trade in my 4 old ones for. I mean, other than Legends of Wrestling, they are good games. NBA2K2 was great, and I had many hours of play-time with it, but I have ESPN NBA Basketball, so it's no-longer needed.

[captainfrizo]

The Gamerush near me didn't have the offer. They had a lot of games I would have picked up too (Splinter Cell: Pandora is the one I wanted the most).

I guess it kind of figured it wasn't ment to be, road workers put concrete barriers up blocking the highway exit (that place has been under heavy construction forever), leading to a lengthy detour after turning around at the next exit a few miles up the road. I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised that gr didn't have the deal since nothing else seemed to be going my way.

I did pick up Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Mega Man Legends (both PS1) for $4.50 total, only to come home and find out my primary Playstation memory card decided to completely erase itself. It was a first party card too. I just couldn't win.

[Nephets]

Wow, sorry to hear that, man. I'm assuming the Game Rushes near me have this offer, as a guy earlier on said he went to Richardson (which is about 20 minutes from here), for the deal. I just hope the THREE Game Rushes over here have the deal, I mean, at least one of them would have to have the deal, right? :shock:

see my earlier post..i'm from richardson and was referring to the richardson store offering the deal

it's pretty much a wasteland..and the guys there are your usual "i'm so cool because i work at ballbuster" kind of guys....the kind of guys that probably cleaned out the good used games for themselves when they heard about this deal

[Nephets]

Damn employees... :twisted:

Can anyone post some findings of pre-owned games they spotted at Game Rush? I'm curious to know what all I could find there...

[ksuwild25]

I've seen lots of MGS: TTS, a couple of Final Fantasy: CC, NFL Street, and that's about it on bigger titles I think I've seen Max Payne 2 for 19.99 but that was worth only renting imo. No luck on SC: PT for me yet. I'm about to go back to trade in Unreal 2 which sucked imo but I gets $25 back for it so I'll actually be making profit. I've found or seen these in the Plano, Allen, and Mckinney gamerushes.

[Wshakspear]

ive picked up Prince of Persia, Otogi, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tommorow, Mario Kart DD, Metal Gear Solid:TTS and im considering picking up Wario Ware (GC) and Crystal Chronicles

[robot]

Whats cool is every week they pull some rentals off the shelf and put em in pre-owned. So it's worth checking a few weeks after a major release to see if it's there. My gamerush had newer titles like Outbreak, Hitman Contracts, and Onimusha 3.

Also, my friend traded in nba live and nhl 2004 and got $25 for each of them. One ps1 game even got him $12, and he paid $2.99 for it the day before. Gamerush trade in prices are really high.

[Wshakspear]

traded in MGS:TTS and got $20, and traded in DOA 3 for $3 (in this case, im buying ultimate later, so i really dont care) and got Unreal 2 (xbox) for 9.99... which is good considering its used price was 49.99 (!!??). I might even force myself to not like it just to trade it in, ive already got $60 in credit, and a PS2 sounds nice right about now.

[Xphyle]

Where did you find Unreal 2? Which location? I'm in South Lyon and I've been to the 9 mile/Novi Rd location and the Beck/12mile location within the last 3 days and never saw Unreal 2. Any other copies left?

Xphyle

[Wshakspear]

actually this was at the commerce location. it was a trade in from someone. I dont know if all stores do this labeling, but this one at least puts a little orange dot on games that were traded in and not part of BB's inventory. only one though, sorry.

[Nephets]

Thanks for the title list, and I'll be sure to look around to be sure that I pick up 2 great titles for a cheap price. ;)

[Wshakspear]

no prob. now i just need to find a game i atually like... :( (besides otogi and POP)

[Nephets]

WOW is all I have to say. I just got back from one location, met a totally cool worker, and got copies of MGS:TTS and Wario Ware Inc. on the GCN for a total of 5 dollars with the 4 games I traded in.

I'm going to go back in a few days and get the Alias game, and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, and maybe by then they'll have Custom Robo there, too! Man, I love this deal. :D

Our Game Rush had a LOT of games!

Which 1 of the 3 Mesquite ones did ya go to? I'm thinkin about heading that way in the next few days. I stopped by the one near Town East Mall last week but nothing really caught my eye...

So far I've picked up DDR Max 2, Baldurs' Gate 2, Onimusha Blade Warriors, and Socom 2 from the Richardson stores...

[Nephets]

I actually went to the Town East/Galloway one, lots of stuff caught my eye there:

Alias, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, SC:PT, Fire Emblem...

I'm hoping they'll have Custom Robo used when I go back in a few days, I plan on trading in Monster Rancher 2 and Quantum Redshift, probably 2 more PSX titles as well.

[SkateDetroit]

Went to the Farmington Hills location and traded in Project Gotham Racing 2 and Wreckles: The Yakuza Missions (Which they gave me 20 and 7 for respectively. I picked up Time Crisis 3 and Max Payne 2. Grandtotal: 9.54 in trade in credit left. Got basically 64 or 67 bucks for my two games I only spent 12 bucks on. Whoot!

Going to hit up a couple more locations to see what I can come up with.

[scuba]

I went to the novi store today and it was PACKED! Anyway, I bought a 50 dollar game there and it said All hot new release games 39.99 and they charged me 50! Should I go back and complain?

Anyway I went to gamestop and bought 6 ps1 games and it cost me around 10 bucks, I then went to gamerush and traded them in for 9 bucks and bought two nfl streets for a total of 12.13 or something. Then on a new purchase I traded those BOTH back in, lol, and got 25 for each so a total of 50 and then I got fight night 2004 new and they charged me 50 but the ad says 39.99 :( so I ended up paying 25 for fight night 2004 but I should have only paid 15, good deal? :D

[Nephets]

I got 4 more games to trade-in tomorrow. Does anyone know if they accept your trade-in even if a game isn't in the right box? For example, I have EXTREME PINBALL (got it for like 1 dollar at Gamestop), in an NBA Live 1998 PSX box, it doesn't have the manual, does that matter at all?

Anyway if, I got these next games to trade-in tomorrow:

Beast Wars: Transformers (horrid game, really cheap)
Extreme Pinball (one of the original PSX titles, really long load times, bad game)
Quantum Redshift (good for a while, but is really just an F-Zero clone, I got it for 7 dollars)
Monster Rancher 2 (got some good playtime in the day, and I just don't need it anymore, also without an instruction book)

So, basically, do you need the instructions/original box to trade-in PSX games? I hope not.

I plan on getting Alias and some other game tomorrow, dunno which yet. Something good, I promise.

And yes, I know the Alias game isn't getting "good reviews", per se, but, hey, I wanna play it because I'm a huge Alias fan. Now would be a good time to get it.

Oh, and one more thing, are you sure there's a limit to how many you can get per day? I was kinda hoping I could get 3 tomorrow, haha. :D

actually, that $10 off bit is only with trade-in...meaning, you can do all the trade 2 get 1 for $10 things you want, but you need to trade in a game specifically for the $10 off.

"I got 4 more games to trade-in tomorrow. Does anyone know if they accept your trade-in even if a game isn't in the right box? For example, I have EXTREME PINBALL (got it for like 1 dollar at Gamestop), in an NBA Live 1998 PSX box, it doesn't have the manual, does that matter at all?"

Just take in the disk. They really dont care, and they dont subtract anything if its missing stuff.

Anywho, just traded in Unreal 2 ($25) and XIII($7) and got Knights of the old republic for the usual 9.99. this was at the Bloomfeild hills (W. Maple) Gamerush, where they also had 2 copies of Klona 2 (great game) and some copies of Wind Waker with case/manual.

[Nephets]

I'm eager to know, has anyone spotted Mario Party 5 anywhere? Tomorrow I'm going back to probably 2 Game Rushes near me, and I wanted to know if anyone has ever seen Mario Party 5 at any of their stores, I need a good party game for next weekend.

[Wshakspear]

nope, just 4 so far

[Nephets]

And, sorry to sound like a broken record, but is there actually a limit to the amount of games you can get for 9.99 per day?

[Wshakspear]

on paper, 2. BUT, it all depends on whos working, what they know, and if thier "cool" to it

[scuba]

Wshakspear - I brought in 6 ps1 games and bought 2 nfl streets and then on a new purchase I traded BACK in nfl street, lol for credit and bought fight night 2004 so I traded in nfl street for fight night so shouldn't I get 10 dollars off?

[cousinlump]

I was at the Farmington Hills store 2 days ago and picked up Hitman: Contracts & Final Fantasy: CC with this deal. After trading in old PS1 games, my total came to $10.33. Both are getting around $20 in trade-in value. This deal is INSANE. :shock:

[Wshakspear]

Scube...yes, yes you should have.

Cousinlump... nuts aint it! you've basically got the chance to buy almost any cool new title for a damn good price, where if you dont like it you can trade it in and basically you just got paid to rent it.

fun.

[robot]

You can trade Hitman Contracts back in and get $30 credit if you dont like it. Thats what I did. So far I've spent $7 out of my pocket and gotten rid of a few old used games. In return I got Twin Snakes, Medal of Honor Rising Sun, Sonic Mega Collection, and $80 in store credit. Now that's just crazy.

[scuba]

Ok, I just wanted to make sure :) so I got fight night 2004 new for 15 bucks! I love gamerush :)

[Wshakspear]

btw, you cant trade just GTA III foir xbox, you need vice city as well

[integralsmatic]

Jersey needs a couple here....

[zewone]

just got socom II....love this deal cost me $15

[polobearjp]

I'm eager to know, has anyone spotted Mario Party 5 anywhere? Tomorrow I'm going back to probably 2 Game Rushes near me, and I wanted to know if anyone has ever seen Mario Party 5 at any of their stores, I need a good party game for next weekend.

I saw a Mario Party 5 in either one of the Richardson stores or the Garland one off of Lavon. Can't really remember tho but I definately saw one last week... You could go to the site and call them to have them check for ya. I stopped by the one by Town East again just a few hours ago and traded in two games and got Hitman Contracts for Xbox. It was hidden behind the counter instead of where all the other used games were but the guy there was friendly enuff to tell me about it. :D

[zewone]

iive seen a couple of Mario Party 5's at a couple GR

[MightySlacker]

iive seen a couple of Mario Party 5's at a couple GR

Are you still in Fresno? Because according to Blockbuster, there's no Gamerushes in California. If there are a few that don't show up for some reason, might be worth it to check around.

Dave Olson
*SUPER DUPER INTERNET CELEBRITY SUPASTAR~!* TM.

[scuba]

btw, you cant trade just GTA III foir xbox, you need vice city as well

that kinda sucks because they sell them seperately for like 20 or so each.

[Wshakspear]

i know... :(

lol...i bought the double pack, realized i only play with VC, and even then i only blow crap up. I dont even care about the story, sadly. its ok i guess, its just a racing game with guns (a good thing).

on a side note... will i enjoy FF:Crystal Chronicals at all if it will only be me playing? Ive heard its playable, but im wondering if the single player is "broken"

[Wshakspear]

Max Payne (PH, xbox) - 7
Bloodrayne (Xbox...and where the hell is the sequel?) - 7
Knights of the Old Republic (xbox...meh) - 13
Armed and Dangerous (xbox...funny, but not Conker funny) - 13

Picked up NFSU and FF:CC. Im gonna go play them in a minute.

I now have $110 in credit after about $30 out of pocket. I'm kinda hoping i don't get into either game, that way i can trade them in tommorow and finnaly get a ps2. That's good, cause i own Kingdom Hearts and have played maybe 3 hours on my GF's sisters PS2.

[Nephets]

Hello all, and I just used the Game Rush deal to my advantage again. :D

I found Mario Party 5 and got it, thanks for the tip polobearjp!

But, I got Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles instead of my originally planned Alias, because I didn't like the shape the disc was in, and well, it'll be 20 dollars in a few months anyway. ;)

I'll be going back to Game Rush in about 2-3 weeks again for sure!

The total for both games I got was about 14 dollars, great stuff. I also got the original case and manuals for both games!

[polobearjp]

Not sure how trustworthy word of mouth is from a BlockBuster employee but the guy in one of the Mesquite, TX stores here told me earlier today that starting next week, they're doing a trade in 3 games and get any used game for $4.99 and that it's only going to last for a week. I didn't ask what day of next week so it could start anytime from sunday (23rd) til next saturday (29th). Time to dig out those old PS1 games... ^_^

[Steggy]

you people sure its ANY used game?

[Nephets]

Yup. Completely positive. The guy also mentioned that to me, Polobear. Maybe it was the same worker, does he have a goatee? :D If so, it looks like it's the same guy, and was it at the one in Town East?

I mean, I got 4 games in GREAT shape for like a total of probably 30 dollars all-together. Those games being Wario Ware: Mega Party Games, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, and Mario Party 5.

Game Rush rules. That simple.

Like I said, I'm going back in a few weeks to see if they have Custom Robo or any other cool game I don't have for the Xbox/PS2/GCN/GBA.

[polobearjp]

Hmm, I can't remember if he had a goatee or not but it was from the store down the street from Town East, shared the same shopping center with Babies 'R Us. Haha. They did seem to have quite a few more used titles there this time around then they did last week. I wanted to pick up another game but sadly, I only brought 2 with me. I'll prolly stop by again sometime next week as well as try to find out where the other ones in Mesquite are and make it a GameRush road trip! :lol:

[Wshakspear]

it is "ANY" game, i sat a gamerush for 1/2 an hour as someone figured that out...

side note: FF:CC is actually kinda fun...and gorgeous

[Nephets]

Which game did you get? Which games did you trade in? It's weird that we are swapping off, visiting the same stores and we don't even know what each other looks like... perhaps I saw you when I was there tonight? Lol, wouldn't that be a coincidence? :P

Oh, and Game Rush is officially the best thing to happen to us CAGers, these deals are remarkable...

[SkateDetroit]

Picked up Mario Party 5 at the GR in Novi,Mi. There is one copy left on an endcap. Had to ask for a Game Cube case, but he was good about it. Originally got this for my girlfriend but after playing it with her for a while i'm hooked! *sigh* I saw WindWaker at the Farmington Hills or Plymouth location as well.

Has anyone been using both the trade 2 and buy one get one 50% off? ;) It worked for me the first time I tried, but I don't know if it'll fly again? I ended up with Time Crisis 3 for 9.99 and Max Payne 2 for 6.50 plus 27 in trade in credit on top of that.

[Nephets]

Buy one get one free? You mean buy one and get one [the cheapest one] 50 percent off? I never heard of buy one get one free... but if your store has one, then wow. Awesome! :shock:

[Wshakspear]

lol, i have'nt even tried that, but thats cool it worked for you. this is another "they shouldnt have done that" kind of thing, so more power to you.

"offers may not be combined"
ha.

EDIT: spelling errors suck...and im gonna go pick up my $30 PS2 :)

[zewone]

yeah im still in Fresno. thats funny they say theres no gamerushs in California. There is 5 different gamerushes within 10 minutes of my house.

[SkateDetroit]

So much for posting half asleep ;) Yes I meant Buy One Get One 50% off. It was the manager who did it too. I just asked her to apply the two sales. Any one find any other good games out there? I want to offload the crap out of my collection.

[scuba]

Because of gamerush I got

Hitman contracts (new)


both for 21 bucks! I really got those both for like 10 bucks but I had to include the 10 bucks I spent at gamestop on the ps1 games I got.

[zewone]

should have bought the PS1 games from a Gamerush. you can find em for 2.99 each and get one 50% off. so you spend $4.50

[Wshakspear]

Picked up my PS2 w/network adapter/atv off road fury, a free rental (Transformers) and a free crappy controller...for $25 out of pocket.

For some reason, im grinning like an idiot

[zewone]

nice move wshakspear....nice to see someone else who knows what to do when they see the opportunity to take advantage of a sitution when it comes up

[polobearjp]

Which game did you get? Which games did you trade in? It's weird that we are swapping off, visiting the same stores and we don't even know what each other looks like... perhaps I saw you when I was there tonight? Lol, wouldn't that be a coincidence? :P

I was there on Saturday afternoon when I nabbed a copy of Hitman Contracts for Xbox. It was hidden behind the counter but the dude there was nice enuff to mention it to me. I traded in DW4 for PS2 ($18) and PGR for Xbox ($7) so I got $14 and change store credit. They're also giving $35 to buy back Hitman Contracts so I might do that later in the week if I don't enjoy the game. Hey, I'm not complaining! :D

[scuba]

yea, I know! Its 40 dollars for ANY new game and I got hitman contracts new but I was confused because they give 35 for a used one, lol.

[goldengraham]

yeah im still in Fresno. thats funny they say theres no gamerushs in California. There is 5 different gamerushes within 10 minutes of my house.

Do you think you can give me some street names of these gamerushes? (those that haven't shut down the deal because of you :wink: ) I'm thinking about making a trip down there next weekend and want to mapquest my way there.

[zewone]

PM'd you goldengraham

No way... I was there around 5-6 PM on Saturday... When in the "afternoon" did you go, around 2-3? Because that'd be a shame... That'd be pretty cool if I passed by you in the store without even knowing it! :P

Only if they follow the policy exactly to the letter. Taking advantage of a favorable policy is one thing..breaking the rules of said policy just hurts everyone.

Not that I'm accusing anyone, I'm just sayin'.

I followed the fine print to the letter...even reading it to a few BB employees that knew nothing about GR. This statarted with me wanting to clear out some clutter and get some new games, and then when i realized i had about $60 in credit after a day or two doing nothing other than getting a new game, playing it, and finding out i didnt like it (SC:Pandora Tommorow, Mario Kart).

Nothing illegal, i never traded in more than 2 games a day, didnt get anywhere near the 20 trade in limit, and i didnt dupe any employees with bad games/cd's (which would have been SO easy to do...but im not that much of a bastard)

BTW, the new model PS2's are VERY quiet...very nice.

I know, WShakespear, I knew you were following the policy to the letter. Since this is such a great promotion, I'd like to see Game Rush revisit it in a couple months. Unfortunately, if people unfairly abuse it, you can be certain you'll never see it again.

[Wshakspear]

It really is a neat sale, isnt it.

after all 200 posts starting with "Best-Buy 4.99...", if i wasnt stuck at work (and i didnt hate phones) i'd see what those games would trade-in for.

[Pancake Rabbit]

hey guys i got a pretty big update to this. I went to gamestop today and got 2extreme and some football game for 3.60 total. Then i went to gamerush and they had a used copy of twin snakes that someone had traded in (it wasn't one they rented out i could tell cause it was still in its original case) and so i take all the stuff to the counter. The guy told me that since i have a blockbuster account the amount of trade ins you do is saved to your account. He said that u can trade in 2 games and get a used for 10 bucks...trade in 3 and get a used for 5 bucks or trade in four games and get a free used game. Just remember you can only trade in 2 games a day so dont try walking in with 4 games to trade in all at once. So anyway i traded in the two ps1 games and im gonna go get two more tomorow and trade them in and get twin snakes for a total of 2.00 out of pocket (the ps1 games trade in for 1.50 and i buy them for 2.00).

[Nephets]

Just remember you can only trade in 2 games a day so dont try walking in with 4 games to trade in all at once.

Well, I actually traded in 4 games a day, twice in a row... You can only BUY two games a day, not trade-in. Besides, it just depends on the employee you have.

So, I caved in, and decided to buy WWF Attitude and Jupiter Strike at Gamestop, costing me a total of about 3.50, went to a Game Rush, and got the last copy of Alias there, for about 7 dollars. So, I basically just got a practically new game (it was in the original case, had the manual, and had a very clean disc), for about 11 dollars out of my pocket total.

Yay for Game Rush and us abusing it's policies!

[Wshakspear]

hmmm... 8 crappy ps1 games...total of maybe $18...trade in for 2 brand new high $ games....traded back in for credit= GBA player or 1/2 FFX1

BTW, as another tip, make sure you have one of thier Gift Cards so you can take your credit to where the good games are. Also, no matter how duh they are about it, you can put the credit on the card with a promotion taking place after

[Nephets]

Wshakspear, you are inspiring me further to abuse these policies. ;)

Anyone know if I can expect to see Metroid Zero Mission, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, or Custom Robo used at Game Rush in like 2-3 weeks?

I really want those games... and I know two of them came out today, but, still. Zero Mission has been out since February.

BTW: I don't see why everyone hates Alias, it's a good game, aside from sometimes clunky graphics and a bad battle system, of course, I'm just a big fan of the show, so I'll just be quiet. :?

[polobearjp]

Does anybody happen to know when this 'trade 2 get a preowned for $9.99' ends? I'm gonna be outta town for 3 weeks soon so I was wondering if I should trade more now or if it'll still be running til the end of June...

[Nephets]

I don't think it ever ends. I think it's been with Game Rush since it first arrived... That's a relief. This way I NEVER have to buy a full-priced game again! :D

50 dollars for something I'll only play once or twice is just far too much for me to spend. I actually think that I won't buy many 50 dollar games ever again if this "deal" does in fact continue. However, I will be reserving Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, so, that'll probably be my next 50 dollar game purchase, and that comes out in late November...

[Pancake Rabbit]

I just hit the jackpot and picked up hitman contracts for 6.09 out of pocket. trading it in tomorow for 35. Are you guys sure you can trade in more than 2 games a day?? It must depend on the employees cause the guys working at mine say 2 a day.

[zewone]

Depends on employees or if you have more than one gamerush in your area

[Wshakspear]

actually, im not so sure about that now... but if there gonna do a "trade in 4" sale...well, thats moe than 2...

i BELEIVE it means no more than 2 games at 9.99.

and nephets this only started a week or 2 ago. The only sale they've had before this (other than buy one get one something) is trade in any game, get $10 off a new game.

[Pancake Rabbit]

oh and in store today the sign was changed from trade in two get one 9.99 to trade in 3 get one 4.99. but the guy said u have to trade in the three on two separate visits.

[lord_slappy]

my gamerush is being stupid. first off, they didn't have the trade in 2 and get a game for 9.99 deal b/c the computer messed up or something. that's what the employee said. then i call today to find out about the trade in 3 deal, and she tells me that they aren't doing that b/c they received an email from corporate telling them that they won't be doing it. she said they were having trouble with the trade-ins. what is going on? have i just found one of the few stores that isn't going through with the deal? :-/ if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, please excuse me. i wasn't going to read through 11 pages to find my answer. :-)

Hmm, I've been able to trade in 4 games in a day at the same time on two different occasions. In fact, I just did so earlier... Traded in Hitman Contracts, Star Wars Super Bombad Racing, Deathrow, and Rogue Ops and picked up the GTA Double Pack & Red Dead Revolver both for Xbox and I got $26 in store credit. There wasn't a GameRush employee and these two ladies were confuzed and almost gave me more than $40 in store credit. Haha...

All stores started out doing this, but due to incompetence among non GR staf, some stores have apparently found it not worth the hassel

[JamesM4321]

I had to call 5 of them in my area to find one doing the deal. They all said they stopped til the wording was done right.

[Nephets]

Really? This deal has only been running for a few weeks?

God, I had a stupid employee at the Game Rush at Pioneer (a horrible place, BTW), he said this deal has been around since Game Rush first started showing up in Blockbusters... :?

I really hope this deal sticks around for a while, though, I still have 4-5 games I want to try and find in the next few weeks! :P

I've been thinking about buying like, 3 copies of Hitman Contracts, and to sell back 2 of them, and I'd get like 70 dollars credit for them, right? And I would only have to spend like 5-6 dollars on them originally, depending on the games I would have traded in to them... I'm sure this is frowned upon, but I have a friend who really wants a Gamecube, and I could buy him a used one in the store for 80 bucks, and I'd only have to spend about a total of 30 dollars in the end...

and nephets this only started a week or 2 ago. The only sale they've had before this (other than buy one get one something) is trade in any game, get $10 off a new game.

Oh, wow, this is a good deal too, couldn't you basically trade-in 5 bad, cheap games, and get a new game for free (minus tax)? Or could you only trade-in one game?

[zewone]

You would get $105 in store credit for 3 copies of Hitman Contracts. And sure its frowned upon but thats how i got PS2, Socom 2, and FFXI for so cheap. Your not doing anything wrong.

[polobearjp]

Oh, wow, this is a good deal too, couldn't you basically trade-in 5 bad, cheap games, and get a new game for free (minus tax)? Or could you only trade-in one game?

You can only trade in one for $10 off and even then, its not all new games. They have a lil printout somewhere with about 3-5 games that you could save $10 on...

Man, that deal sucks, nevermind I said it was good. :?

You would get $105 in store credit for 3 copies of Hitman Contracts.

However, that is pretty awesome, oh man, 105 dollars credit and I'd only have to spend about 20 bucks or so, wow, awesome. I might do that soon... :lol:

[polobearjp]

As of around noon today, the Town East location had 1 Hitman Contracts for Xbox, I traded it in. Didn't see any other display boxes for it in the used section tho...

[nathan_the_rock]

Are you guys finding these games directly on the shelves??? Because I can certainly tell you that my GameRushes (Sterling Heights and Rochester) don't have anything too great.

[Nephets]

Yeah, but there's a lot of games behind the counter, just ask them and chances are, if it's a major game that's been out for about a month or two, chances are that they'll have it in.

[polobearjp]

Hey Nephets, any chance you could help me ask if they have any copies of Samurai Warriors behind the counter the next time you're at the Town East location? I never thought about that and I'm too lazy to drive all the way over there for a fourth time this week. :shock:

[Pancake Rabbit]

Hey guys anyone know what they give for NFL street, mario kart double dash or metal gear twin snakes? those three seem to be the only high-profile games left at my gamerush.

[polobearjp]

Hey guys anyone know what they give for NFL street, mario kart double dash or metal gear twin snakes? those three seem to be the only high-profile games left at my gamerush.

I traded in my PS2 NFL Street about a month/month and a half ago and they gave me $20. I think if you see a used game priced at $39.99, the trade in value is $25 and if the price is $32.99 the trade in value is $20, I can't guarantee it 100% of the time but thats always been the case with my experiences there...

[zewone]

thats about right

[Pancake Rabbit]

hmmmm well in that case looks like im driving 20 minutes to the next closest one...i need some more hitman contracts and transformers. PAPA NEEDS A GBA SP!!!

[Nephets]

Hey Nephets, any chance you could help me ask if they have any copies of Samurai Warriors behind the counter the next time you're at the Town East location?

Sure thing. Just know that I probably won't be going to another Game Rush for about a week or two, man, I truly hope this deal is still valid by then... but, I'll ask and check out the stores for you, and then let you know which Game Rush stores have it.

[Wshakspear]

Oh, wow, this is a good deal too, couldn't you basically trade-in 5 bad, cheap games, and get a new game for free (minus tax)? Or could you only trade-in one game?

actually it should be $10 off any new (non-po) title $39.99 and up.which if your looking for something new that isnt PO yet, you can still figure out a deal

[Pancake Rabbit]

Today is the dawn of a new era. I went to EBgames and got jimmy johnson football and two other sports games for a total of 3.50 out of pocket. I went to Gamerush and did the trade in 3 get one for 4.99. My total amount due for NFL Street was .79 cents. Now thats what i call expensive!!

[JamesM4321]

Yesterday I went by Gamestop and bought 10 cheap games...all $4.99 and under (most were $1.99)...and traded them in to get:

Jak II
SC: Pandora Tomorrow
Rainbow Six 3
FF: Crystal Chronicles
Mafia

Total cost after discounts and trade in was $23-something. I spent like $29 at Gamestop. So....$52 for 5 games.

[gsr]

are you guys getting games that are in good shape(box, instructions, disc)? most of the games at the local gamerush look like people wiped their ass with them

[robot]

you dont need box/instructions when trading in at gamerush. i would just run the disc under some water before you trade em in.

went back last night and got mario party 5, and ridge racer (psx) for $4. thats some crazy shit right there.

yeah i'm talking about the games you're buying..are they with box/manual or what?

i see a lot of them that are beaten up

[polobearjp]

yeah i'm talking about the games you're buying..are they with box/manual or what?

i see a lot of them that are beaten up

All the games I've gotten from GameRush have been in awesome condition, almost all of them look brand new with a manual thats never been touched. However, only a few of them came with the original case...

[robot]

The guy at my gamerush is the freakin man. He actually goes through all the copies of the game I want, finds one with the instructions, then throws it all into a new case (not the crappy blockbuster ones either). If the game has a scratch or two, they usually open a few to find the best one. Every pre-owned game I got there can pass for brand new.

I guess it depends who's willing to help you out. As far as the case issue, they have tons of xbox/ps2/gc cases so it shouldn't be a problem getting one.

[JamesM4321]

All of the games I got are in good shape. One didn't have the manual. But, otherwise, like new.

I'm trying to get ahold of Hitman: Contracts


I have a thread going for helping people take advantage of this if there's no Gamerush near you. Check it out.

[gsr]

what are the highest trade in value games that are on their shelf? like hitman contracts

also does anyone how much mario party 5 can be trdaed in for?

[polobearjp]

$35 bux trade-in value for Hitman Contracts, Samurai Warriors, and Red Dead Revolver...

[robot]

anyone know how much trade in credit they give for rogue ops?

[polobearjp]

anyone know how much trade in credit they give for rogue ops?

A whopping $2 or it might be $3 but I'm pretty sure its $2...

[Pancake Rabbit]

Does anyone know for sure how much they give for mario kart double dash??

[gsr]

anyone know how much trade in credit they give for rogue ops?

i believe it's $1.50

in one store, i saw it on the shelf for 39.99 and right behind it another copy was marked 6.99..

did anyone in dallas find any of the higher priced trade ins? like hitman contracts, samurai warriors..the two GR's here in richardson said that they were way too new to be available as previously owned

I've found Red Dead Revolver and Hitman Contracts both for Xbox at the location just down the street from Town East Mall in Mesquite. Weird, I live in Richardson but I've been to the Mesquite GameRush more than the two here combined. Haha...

[Nephets]

Well, once again, I went to Game Rush (Town East, again). No Samuari Warriors, sorry Polo. :(

I traded in two games.

NCAA Football 2002: costed me 2 bucks.
Rogue Ops: costed me 3 bucks

I then used that to get Metroid: Zero Mission. It's only the game cart, but that's all I need.

So now 5 out of my 6 games I got came out of the Game Rush in Town East, man, that one rules.

I spent about a total of 8 bucks tonight. Man, I'm so abusing Game Rush. This girl who works there (she has red hair and glasses), is probably sick of me by now. :P

i don't know if i want to drive 1/2 hour to that location just to get those two games and try to trade them in...seems a bit far for me

so are you basically trading/rebuying the same copy of hitman contracts over and over again?

[Pancake Rabbit]

I spent about a total of 8 bucks tonight. Man, I'm so abusing Game Rush. This girl who works there (she has red hair and glasses), is probably sick of me by now. :P

heh i know what you mean. When i cashed out today the guy said "your total is 79 cents" i paid him and he said "see you tomorow."

[Nephets]

However, this time I promised myself I'd wait about a week or two before heading back, due to me wanting to wait for some games that aren't quite old enough to be considered preowned games.

Summer is a very slow month for games, as publishers wait until the late fall/winter seasons, due to the holidays that approach.

I can only think of about 4 games which are coming out in the next few months that I actually want, and I've seen two of them at Game Rush. I'm hoping to see the other two in less than two-three weeks. :wink:

i don't know if i want to drive 1/2 hour to that location just to get those two games and try to trade them in...seems a bit far for me

Nope, I just traded for it there once and didn't like the game too much and decided to trade it back over there since they had the GTA Double Pack for Xbox, didn't see that at either Richardson stores nor the Garland one off of Lavon...

Oh and thanks for helping me ask about Samurai Warriors nephets! I'll keep an eye out for Custom Robo at the stores there the next few days before my vacation and if I see it, I'll let ya know asap.

[Nephets]

I can't believe I finally found Metroid: Zero Mission tonight. I was telling myself I'd find it, and so far I've found every game in Game Rush that I want. Well, there's still two more I've yet to find: Mario & Donkey Kong and Custom Robo... though, I can understand not finding them yet, they just came out like 2 days ago. If you find a store with Mario & Donkey Kong (GBA) as well, can you tell me which one you find it at? That and Custom Robo are the favors I'm asking of you. :)

Be sure they are pre-owned, though. As I've already seen new copies of Custom Robo show up at Game Rush.

[Wshakspear]

Traded in:
Godzilla (GC): 7
ATV from PS2 bundle : 7
Final Fantasy:CC : 25

Got:
PO Ratchet and clank 2 : 4:99
NEW Eye Toy : 49.99

out of pocket:
$20

im gonna go look like more of an ass now, bye! :)

[JSweeney]

hmm... I wonder if Gamerush will be getting the NES GBA SP. I wouldn't spend 100 dollars to get another GBA because of the casing, but 20-30 dollars to do so is something else entirely.

[Nephets]

Here's my plan to get like 100 dollars credit without spending much money. I plan to go to around 2-3 Game Rushes to complete this transaction.

1. Buy about 6 cheap PSX titles: total amount spent: around 15-20 dollars.

2. Trade-in Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (I originally got it for around 6 bucks): get around 25 or so store credit... :?:

3. Take 4 of those titles and trade them in to Game Rush, credit will get brought up as well as me getting 2 preowned games for less than 20 dollars. I plan on getting either two copies of Hitman Contracts, Splinter Cell: PT, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, or NFL Street.

4. Get those 2 games I have, go to another Game Rush, trade in those titles: get a total of about 50 dollars.

5. Trade in the other 2 PSX titles, get another preowned game for less than 9.99: once again, getting any preowned game that sells for more than 25-35 dollars.

6. Go to another Game Rush, trade in that game I just bought, get more credit on the account. Total credit amount now (an estimate): 105 dollars. That's only if each game I got sold for around 35 bucks each.

7. See if anything good is at Game Rush, if not, save credit.

Would that plan work? Is anything wrong with it? Or can someone walk me through how to get over 100 dollars credit by just spending around 30 dollars or so. I know it's possible, but I need guidance before I go out and do that.

Also, which games trade-in for 35 dollars? I know a few do...

Oh and, hmm... I wonder if Gamerush will be getting the NES GBA SP

Why get an SP when the DS is supposidely coming out in November? :?:

[Pancake Rabbit]

nephets, this is how i got 80 dollars in credit.

Started by trading in 2 games (from my collection) and getting hitman contracts for 6.90 out of pocket

then i bought 3 games at gamestop and got nfl street for .79 cents

then i bought another 3 games at gamestop and got mgs twin snakes

i then took those three games to another gamerush.

traded them in and got prince of persia for 5 dollars

at this point i had 80 dollars left on my account

i used that to get a gameboy advance sp

[Nephets]

Thanks! :lol:

How much total money did you spend on all of that?

[Pancake Rabbit]

the six games from gamestop were about 10 dollars total. I got lucky with a lot of 99 cent games.
