Do I have to be a PUR member to trade my 3DS in for $90? I haven't re-subscribed to it for a while.

My mom also dropped it a year ago and there is now a dent that is on the power button. It still turns on and off, but sometimes it takes a couple of times pressing the button. How much will the refurb fee be? How much do you think I will get with the 30% trade in bonus ? I might be able to get the scratches off though. Thanks for reading this and helping me out.

This is what I'm wondering. Mine has a lot of little scratches and nicks on the back and a few scratches on the screen. Other then that it works perfectly.

I'm still not sure if I want to upgrade to a new iPod touch later this year

Darkness II - $5 base

Traded on 9/27/12
Xbox360

I just got an e-mail for a +50% game trade-in promotion at a select store. If I'm not mistaken, hasn't this usually ended up indicating a universal trade-in promotion, or something about stores being located near a Best Buy? (The store indicated in the E-mail I believe is not far from a Best Buy.)

I'm still considering the PS3 swap (phat system for the new super-slim bundle). But I still have to deal with my son's locked saves. I can pay $18 to get him 3 months of PS+ (which seems like a total waste since I only need it for a few days). OR, I could just buy the new bundle tomorrow when it is available, do the Ethernet swap at home, then just trade in the old system for $125 instead of the $135 I'd get with the trade-in promo. So that costs me $10 in credit, but gives me the flexibility of doing the transfer first.

I could ask if they will give me the trade-in boost anyway when I go back to do the trade (since I'd come back the next day to do the trade). But they wouldn't accomodate me on the Wii U power trade deal - said I had to redo the preorder when trading and that wouldn't have worked since the Deluxe (which I preordered the first day) were sold out at that point. I remember back in the day managers had the power to override things and get stuff done for the customer - I wouldn't have hesitated to ask for the deal with this one manager (who has long since moved on from GS). That doesn't seem to be the case any more - oh well...

I suppose one way they may be able to accomodate me is to return my purchases system the next day, then resell it to me with the trade-in. That seems ridiculous but that is probably the only way to make it work without an override.

From what I understand, they won't even have the super-slim till tomorrow, right? So there are only 3 days of overlap between the deal and when they actually have the system. I'm not 100% sold on the slide top on the new system though - that is also making me think twice about it.

Yeah I got the same e-mail. Not bad there is also this promo. trade 2 get $40. Some games on that list have potential.

Makes me wish I save a few games from earlier this week with both of these.

yea some arent bad but some are truly LOL worthy.....DOA 5? TT2? borderlands 2? those should at least on their own merit 30-33 though probably not bad with some other game on the list as im sure some of those fetch 4 dollars on their own.

Gamestop being the overly generous company that they are, they will take metroid prime trilogy over your hands for $20 in store credit!

Hell, just a year or so ago, DBZ:BT3 was going for a lot more than it is now, even. I discovered a few for $20 at a Wally World around that time, and was shocked at what they went for. New copies were $120+, and used ones were going for around $50!

Borderlands 2 fetches $40 alone at BBY. I'm sure the others do about the same.

So I want to trade in my Wii, but the problem is my wiimotes have the rechargable battery pack things on them, and I don't have the original battery covers

Will they still take it or do I need to find a battery cover?

how much do you usually get for hdmi cables?

Go to walmart, buy any PS3, do the Ethernet swap. Sell yours to Gamestop, get the other PS3 model, take it home, do the swap again (Gamestop PS3 with walmart PS3, which should have had your old saves already), return the walmart PS3 to Walmart = well done. If you don't ever buy at Walmart, I must say that they are very generous when giving your money back, so you won't have a problem with it. However, they only offer a 15 days return process (I think) If you do all this before 15 days then you should be fine, cheers!
