$11 -> $51.20 BBY credit vs. $11 -> $25.60 & Dead Island () for me...

Hmm...

Of course, if the TIV tanks before Thursday, I won't have to think about it, will I?

Oh it's for sure gonna tank before Thursday unfortunately. BB does their regular TIV updates on Tues and Sat nights, and then steps in with manual TIV adjustments whenever special circumstances occur. Dead Island won't likely even make it to the Tues night adjustment and will probably get nuked early.

If you can get to those copies earlier though, you could always flip both back to BB and then pricematch Frys for a new PS3 copy of Dead Island for $19.99. If the TIVs hold, you'd essentially be paying $0.75 cents or so in tax for the upgrade from your used PS3 Dead Island to a new one. Better deal IMO then just keeping the used PS3 version...

Edit: Guess this only works if you have a Frys near you though. Forgot they were limited to the West Coast...
