Has Gamestop ever done promos for traded in iPods?

They've had "Bonus 50%" trade-in value in the past, but I don't think they have anything right now.

Xbox 360

Batman Arkham City - 8.00
Captain America - 10.00 (price doubled, weird I know)

There is a 30% bonus on I-devices right now if you're willing to put it towards a pre order or purchase of select games (pretty much all the big upcoming titles are on the list) On the gamestop website, where it lists the trade deals, there is a banner that says 30% power trade on any item towards the preorder of select games, and when you click it, the next page specifically states ipods, iphones and ipads. The manager at my local store was skeptical of it working on i-devices, but I showed him the webapage from my phone, and he scanned a bar code in a book and I got the extra 30% when trading in my Iphone. I got $221 store credit for a 32g Iphone 4, and put it towards the Halo 4 console bundle.

Well thanks for reporting that, NOW! j/k If you did and JP missed it, I apologize.

Yeah,thats true. I bought the Mag though for the 15 off PSN. True it only came out to 5 off but 5 is better than nothing.

Not sure where to post this but the Steal of the Week is $15 off any pre owned game for 10,500. Not bad since its 4,000 points for 5 off so effectively, $20 off for 14,500 as oppressed to the usual $20 off for 16,000 points.

I don't see it as a good deal considering you'd normally get that coupon for 12,000 points (20% less than the 15,000 points for $15 off any purchase), so you're saving 12.5%. :\

I want to trade in several Halo Reaches for my friends since I have the Pro membership. Do you know if they keep track of your trade-ins on the screen or if there is a limit like Best Buy (assuming if I trade the games in one at a time at different Gamestops)? Thanks.

I guess the mods shut the 50% list thread down...weird considering they left the 100% hardware thread up...a little consistency would be nice.

You might be able to trade in two copies if you explain that you're doing it for your friends, but any more than that and it might look suspicious; technically GS doesn't allow more than one copy of a game to be traded in at one time (at least that's what I've been told and heard from others). I'd space out your trades across several days with no more than 1-2 copies at a time, depending on how many you mean by "several", and try to use different employees as often as you can.

I have 4 GS within 1 mile of each other...pretty much solves any issues with multiple copies.

Is GameStop open today being Columbus Day or whatever? I think it's time to show some love for 'Murica by Pre-Ordering Assassins Creed 3 on the day no other than the one it was discovered. Gotta get rid of Sleeping Dogs fast since the MSRP's dropping like a rock.

Also, trade in-questions about the HDMI cable and Wired Headsets. By HDMI cable, can it just be any old HDMI cable or does it have to be xbox-branded or something? I have an old one that i can't use anymore with my computer and TV since I re-arranged my room and it's just sitting here now. also, I've got an old wired headset that just sitting around too, what do they look for on those when trading them in? Mine's missing the fuzzy end for the mic but that's it. Still works okay as far as I know.

Probably looked up the wrong one. Cause GS sells pre-owned 3DS systems for $139.

Does anyone know the value of a Ps2 trade-in after the double credit? I have a slim, and I'm not sure what else I would need to trade-in for it.

$20 base, so $40 after the promo.

So that list of 40 games have higher trade in values and if you are a PUR pro member you get another 50% on top of those values?

For example, say I trade in deadspace 2 xbox, which is on that list for $12, I would get $19.20 total? ($12 * 50% = $18 * 10% = $19.20?)

The answer is correct but the math isn't it is 12*1.6=19.20 but the way you put it would show up as 19.80 haha
