All items get a 30% bump when you buy/pre-order a newer title(list is on the site)

For the 30% preorder power trade, what happens to the bonus trade in credit if you have slightly more trade in credit than the game you're preordering?

Lets say I trade in 2 controllers and the total trade in w/ bonus comes out to $65, but the game is only $60 -- do they allow keeping the $5 as trade credit or will they reduce the $5 by 30% (giving only 30% up to the purchase amount)?

You keep the credit. The company is bad, but they aren't THAT bad.

You would have to put the money towards your existing pre-order. That should be fine unless you get Capt. Retail and he/she wants to be a PITA

Existing preorder would be perfect. Still have to pay 4 off.

Thanks

Perhaps. I only traded them in because of the 30% additional toward pre-order of White 2. Though the closest BBs to be are all 40 minutes away which equates to a bunch of gas money and the base TIV for SSX is $4 (so about .50 more than I got from GS after the promo if the base is doubled) and $5 for NBA 2K12 (so about $2.50 less than I got from GS after the promo if the base is doubled). Plus I had about $214 in GS credit (down to about $197 now after paying off the rest of White 2) so such little BB credit doesn't help me.

Had planned on going to BB, but couldn't pre-order 2K13 for In Store pick up and didn't want to hold them until I'm in the area next week to pick up Dishonored, so GS made sense. It was only a bummer because, looking at last reported values (and not knowing about the SSX sale that his that game's value) I figured I would only owe about $7 or $8 for White 2 and not closer to the $15 that I needed and that put me under $200 GS credit.

But he'll get $56 after bonuses so no worries about that haha

Little late to this thread, but question regarding the 2x trade in for hardware

Can I walk in there with my 3DS (which was getting 100 towards a 3DS XL trade) and get 200?

That can't be right, right?

Your 3DS is worth $100 after the 100% bump

I have a question, the Power Up Rewards steal of the week is 50% extra trade in credit when trading in games towards RE6 or Pokemon White/Black 2.

Does this stack with the 10% PUR bonus? As in it will become 60% extra trade in credit total? And lastly, if I trade in games in excess of the value of the game will I still get the bonus? I don't care about any of those games and I wanted to trade in like 8 games and use that towards Wii U stuff.

Thanks in advance

Lol, I didn't get past November to even see the year

Ugh, 50%! How did I not see this either? Could have gotten even more for SSX and NBA 2K12. This just isn't my week

Base Trade-in Value on 10/4/12

$27.50 PS3 Dual Shock 3
$ 2.00 PS3 mini USB cable
$20.00 Xbox 360 wireless controller
$20.00 PSP 2000 system
$ 1.75 PSP Slim Component Cable
$ 4.00 PS2 Okami
$ 1.50 PS2 Odin Sphere
$ 5.00 PS2 Final Fantasy X
$ 1.25 PS2 SingStar Country (game only)

Used the 30% trade-in on select title promo for everything except the PSP system. Manager told me it only works on games and showed me the Epic Mickey 2 flier that specifically said games. I showed him the website ad http://www.gamestop.com/mrkt/landing...-trade-credit/ and asked him to try it anyway, it worked.

Did the PSP system trade-in on a separate transaction and put the credit on my rewards card. Then I got Borderlands 2 (pictured in the 30% promo) and still had $34 left. Manager wouldn't let me out the door without putting it on a pre-order.

Me: Can't we just put the rest on the card?
Manager: I would if it was a dollar or two, but that's too much.
Me: Ok, well I'll just return it. I guess I'll pre-order uh.. the zombie game for Wii U.. Zombie U?
Manager: The reason you're getting this much is because of the promo and you have to pre-order and come pick it up.
Me: Ok, I'll get Zombie U
