So Tomb Raider Legend is $19, eh? I actually bought one for $14.98 from Target yesyerday. That used to be a crappy ratio, but now it might not be so bad. I mean, I used to do those kinds of flips when BBV had their $30 preorder deal (trade 2 games and get a $50 game fully paid off for $30). But now, meh, I dunno - it would be good if I knew a decent B1G1 is coming, but without that it is pretty much throwing money away.

Actually, there is another good GS->BBV transfer opportunity that I didn't even pay attention to, though I know someone mentioned it in the old thread. The Lego Indy/Kung-Fu Panda combo is $15 this week at GS - crap, probably ends tomorrow.... I was at a GS yesterday, too, and didn't even think of it.

Indy gets $10, and Kung-Fu Panda probably still gets $8, or maybe $6 now. The thing is, the combo is $11.99 after Edge according to the thread about it (since the discount is taken off the normal $29.99 price). If the 10% coupon stacks as well (though it may not as the $15 price may count as a promo) then that is a decent deal. Of course, you would have to find another case and print two new covers with the original game UPCs to get BBV to take them. That is a fair amount of work (and ink) to get $16 or $18 out of $12 at GS, but it's something, anyway .

Yeah, coupon doesn't work - so it would be $12->$16 or $18 (I'm thinking Kung-Fu Panda may have dropped from $8 to $6 at BBV). Probably not worth the trouble unless you really need BBV credit.
