The table alrdy shows the promo values for PUR members so theres no 50% on top of those values -- if you have PUR Pro then you get 10% extra based on the regular value

PUR members is regular price x 1.5 (which is alrdy shown on the table)
PUR Pro members is regular price x 1.6

Deadspace 2
Reg trade value = $8
PUR $8 x 1.5 = $12
PUR Pro $8 x 1.6 = $12.80

Why would they shut down the thread? It is just a reposting of a deal being honored by GameStop. Am I missing something?

Just a head's up for anyone thinking of trading in their Nintendo 3DS consoles. Gamestop gives $50 dollars base-value. I traded mine in today and I ended up getting $100 dollars total for it. I will take it considering I never play it anymore and I was able to recoup 2/3 of what I paid for it brand new.

Just speculating, but it may be that the offer was not to be advertised until Oct 12 (as seen in the URL) even though it's live now. Maybe GS sent a C&D or a GS employee asked nicely to have it removed.

I live 10 minutes from the Mall of America - there are two stores just in that mall alone

Sucks that there aren't any Vita games on the list i haven't really touched my system or the games i got from b2g1 walmart. Would have been nice to trade them in.

That's good to know. That'll knock the trade-in price of my old iPhone 3G up to over $60.

Thanks for the info. Shame that I'm not too interested in any of the games that qualify for the 30% bump. I've got a Persona 4 Golden pre-order, but it's not included.

Plus I'm sure pre-ordering something you don't want and canceling it will get me a stern kick in the ass out of the store.

Ok. Still weird considering the community posts ENTIRE video game ads for the upcoming week. But like you said, it may be that someone asked for it be removed.

Right. That IS very ODD.

Maybe the TC will see to it that the 50% bonus on SELECT games is added to the heading and the link is added to the OP as this is a time sensitive bonus until Oct 14. Seeing as how that thread got so many responses so fast, it's obvious that some people miss this thread unless the heading is eye-catching enough. And, this is a TRADE IN DEAL.

No. The deal is going on now.

All that's needed is a PowerUp Rewards card.

What? I said it was live, but maybe GS doesn't want anyone to know yet.

Oops! Sowwy! Lol. I think I forgot what I was supposed to type as a response. Rushing to do some things and having a blonde moment! Serenity now!!!!!!

Uh, yeah, I didn't know about this myself until today. I'm digging through games to see what I have. Found a Pokemon Platinum in a drawer - that's going. I have HeartGold, too, but that is still worth more than GS is giving for it. Oh yeah, and I have Left 4 Dead 2... I even found a Mortal Kimbat vs DC Universe but I have the Collector's Edition so I'm hesitant to bring that in. I even found a sealed copy of Infamous 2. I honestly have no idea where I got that from as I sold my used copy when PS+ had it for free. Where I got a sealed one from is a complete mystery - such is the life of a CAG .

I'll try to add some stuff to the OP, though the title is pretty full of info right now.

OK, done. I had to remove the Power Trades part from the title. It can go back in when this ends.

Gamestop has officially lost my business with incompetent employees.

Was in gamestop arguing with the manager about moving my credit from COD Black Ops 2 (a game i was forced to pre-order) to God of War Ascension.

They were saying since the COD was a "Power-Trade" Title i couldn't move my credit.

"NO". I said. I didn't pay off COD with the Power trade promo. I used a 50% coupon i bought off power-up rewards good towards ANY pre-order. I traded in about $250 worth of goods a month ago (Check my post a month back) and they forced me to put all my money torwards pre-orders even after paying off in full 3 PS3 titles and 1 Vita title.

I show them my receipt for proof that i did not use the "Power Trade" Promo so it does not apply but the manager says it's still a "power trade title" so i can't move it. I'm like WTF? 50% and 30% promo doesn't stack so it's either one or the other. And of course i used the 50% using logic, and proof from the receipt. They still said no.

I don't see how they are giving me hassle over my ****ing money.

I told them before i left that they couldn't stop me legally. I'll just pick the game up and return it and get what i want.

It's crazy how you go through so much with this damn organization

Sounds like a Jr. Detective employee. Maybe contact your District Manager or something? I've moved credit from Power Trade titles before and never had a problem.

I have the same issue with that coupon. They made me pre-order all $180 of my trade. My plan is to just pick the games up and then return them to a different store.

What does a broken Xbox 360 trade for? E74 on old model. Probably not much. From the FAQ it looks like $55-$16 refurb fee.

Thanks!

Now, more people can get in on this deal!

I gained possession of my now former friend's 4gb after he defaulted on his loan. I'm planning to take advantage of this offer and trade it in. However, it's missing the A/V cable but I do have an HDMI cable. Will Gamestop still take the console or should I buy the A/V cables before trading it in?

You'll need AV cables.
