Yea, I was able to trade like an hour ago.

As for Halo and CoD... they most likely will hold up. If one budges it will be Halo. The way Activision is, I doubt you will find a good sale on BLOPS2 on BF... they will put MW3 on sale instead; just like last year. Personally, I am picking them up as part of the $20 RZ preorder deal. IMO this is the best route since I highly doubt Halo/CoD will have a below $40 BF deal; which is what BB is essentially offering at Day 1.

This is more to Silver members but Target had Black Ops 1 on sale for $39.99 on the week of Christmas. Amazon matched it for the Christmas day as a DOTD also.
Best Buy even dropped it down to $39.99 itself the week after Christmas/New Year's Eve week too iirc. Hopefully the trend continues and we'll be well within the 60 day PM window.

If you're a Silver member you're nuts if you don't preorder anything at Best Buy compared to every other retailer out there.

Well technically BB can still do full prepayment on preorders because that's how some stores process midnight releases now. They're trying to ring everybody up at the POS before release date (for midnight launches) to get them out the door by 12:05am.

It's basically like how Gamestop charges you in full before street date.

Well damn. I just finished up RE6 and now I'm thinking I should go trade it in and pre-order AC3. I will admit, I have played every version of AC, never completed the story on any, but really enjoyed the MP in Brotherhood and Revelations. AC3 however looks like the story alone is going to be fantastic.

So should I pull the trigger and dump RE6 for AC3?

That's an easy yes.

Yeah, I figured it was a no brainer. Guess I just need moral support lol. Thanks.

I know it isn't supposed to work with pre-orders, but it has been working since at least the summer according to several people who pre-ordered 2 games, bought 1 in-stock in the same transaction and got it free. I'm assuming my store did something wrong regarding the way they modified the pre-order price since it didn't work.

Yeah, best buy has already charged me for the halo 4 console and blops 2 hardened.

I believe even last year MW3 dropped to $40 or so the week after xmas so works out for silver members.

edit: It was 39 last year after xmas

Yes.

might hafta try my luck with the B2G1 with preorders...

Okay scenario: I buy three games using B2G1 free with the intention of returning all three when Halo 4 and Black ops come out. While I hold on to the three games, I see a lower price. I price match get the difference. Do I still get a $59.99 base when I exchange all three games for $59.99?

NO. You will get back whatever the price match price was, and the third will still be $0. You really don't expect them to price match lets say $40, then turn around and give you $59.99 back? Come on man.

They are always followed by a justification post. Usually something like "I thought this was cheap ass game... Herp"

I'm not trying to rip them off.. I'm just trying to exchange the three games I bought and see if I have to pay the difference.. So either way I am protected from a price drop during my holding/exchange period.

It also sucks that they make you bring back all three games you bought from them to do a straight exchange..
