If any PS3 (fat) is $90 tomorrow then I am doing this but if not then it won't be worth trading up. My old MW2 Elite 360 would get like $130 with the HD so that is not worth it for an upgrade.

Just traded in my Vita (wifi only) for 140 total.

TIVs
Vita (wifi) - 70 base
Vita (3g) -75 base

Do you want to buy a 360 with a drive that doesn't work?






Niether does anyone else

glad to be rid of my old XBOX 360 20GB with wireless controller for $55 base TIV. They gave me $3.75 for the 20GB HD. $113.75 isn't too shabby for an old XBOX I had sitting around collecting dust.

Yeah I just called and my 60 gb (fat) ps3 is getting $90 base. It is one of the originals (full ps2 compatibility) with 4 usb. I has been good to me but runs so dam hot and is a lead block. I think I am going to upgrade. I already have $44 in trade there plus I was planning to trade 2 games for $40. To get a new superslim for almost nothing out of pocket sounds pretty good.

I remember that promo... I believe it was 4 PS2 games for Gran Turismo 4 originally, then was reduced to 3 PS2 games for GT4. I believe GT 4 was selling for $40 at the time, so you were getting $10 to $13.33 per game. I would get a gift receipt and return the GT4 to another store for GameStop credit.

I'd consider trading in my 360 since I hardly use it anymore but what do you guys plan to do with your games that you have for a console you no longer have?

Trade them in at the same time? I feel as though that's exactly what gamestop wants so you get very little back for your games and then they can make a nice profit off your loss.

I'm thinking if I decide to trade in my console for this promo, I would just sell my games directly to gamers via Glyde or equivlent service so I can spread the saving around and get a bit more money off my games too.

Anyone have any bright ideas about the subject?

Thinking about trading in my 3DS while it's this high. I haven't played it in months and nothing coming out interests me.

I traded a Dsi in last week for the $50 deal. The base was $22.

Wow, $32 for a PS2 isn't actually that bad.

The deal is good enough to have its own thread for a few days at least, anyway - then maybe I'll move it over here. Maybe I'll cull the rest of the values out of that thread later tonight and post them here.

Cool. I typically try to monitor the separate TIV promo threads for values because people throw a fit when they get merged with this one. That and it's also no that hard to check a second thread. The past 6 months work has been kicking my ass time wise so my updating is like every 3-4 days anymore so I get a little behind, which sucks on promos like these. My internet traffic at the office is more closely monitored now too, as someone complained about my IT blog posts. Jerks. I'm working on starting updating right now. Hopefully by this evening we will be back up to date.

Real dumb question:

Do iPhones and the like count as hardware or systems for the purpose of these bonuses?

In addition to giving him extensive knowledge of the system, maybe this longevity also allows him to get away with stuff he otherwise wouldn't be able to. Good for him for going the extra mile and good for you for holding onto a business relationship like that.

I am sorry to report that I had no such luck with my local store today. On Sunday afternoon I traded in a slim PS2 for $30. Today I was told that the base was $20, bringing it to $40 with the promotion. This is the last remaining Gstop that I go to and I am on very good terms with the entire staff. The store manager and employee that were there Sunday were also working today. She was unable to figure out a way to make it happen, saying that GA pawn law prevents any item being returned to the customer and couldn't/wouldn't sell me a PS2 for $30 to do the same thing your guy did.

I get it and all, I mean store managers have regional managers and everything so I wasn't a jerk about it or anything. She also knows that this sucks for her regulars and was sincerely apologetic, mentioning that she thought it was crap as soon as she saw the sale info sent to the store on Monday.

So to sum up a too long, too familiar tale...
Gamestop screwed me out of 25% of what would have been my total because I visited their store 24 hrs before I should have, using a deal just for loyal Power-Up reward members.
Thanks Gamestop, getting treated like this feels great.

Oh, and for the good of the group: PS2 slim TIV = $20, 10/02/2012

Question for people in here, and sorry if it seems silly, but if the sticks on a 360 wireless controller are worn, do they take off any credit? I have a bunch laying around my house I really don't need and would rather trade them to GS than try on CL

Also, couldn't tell by reading back a few pages. Are all fat PS3s getting 90 for this promo? I want to get a Backwards compatable one if my GS has any and wouldn't mind doing that for cheap...

Anybody know the restrictions for the trade 2, get 40? I have a stack of PS3 games I wouldn't mind getting rid of if I could get 40 bucks for them. Games like Uncharted 1 and 2, AC: 2 and Brotherhood, Mass Effect 2, and Hot Shots Golf for Vita.

I called but they said they couldn't help me due to "a line out the door."

Edit: Never mind. Found the eligible game list on-line.

Edit: I see you found it.

There is a list. None of your games are on it.
