Alright that was fun. Left the house with 5 games and $238 in credit and came home with 3 games a DS3 controller and $460 in credit.

Hit a few Blockbusters but no Alice's but I did find a bunch of Just Dance 3 Wii copies. There were at least 12 copies between the 3 Blockbusters I went to. They sold for $9.99 and traded for $20.80 so I ended up with 4 copies. If I had the time I would have done more. I also picked up a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 for $5 to keep.

No luck with Portal 2 at Kmart but both my BBY price matched 3 copies at $9.99. I kept one 360 copy and traded one each of the others for $21 each. Also picked up a used copy of Alice at BBY for $15 and it traded for $20.90.

Another good tip for anyone wanting a cheap DS3 controller. BBY is selling the KZ3 bundle on Sunday for $39.99. I bought one today at $59.99 and will price adjust on Sunday. After trading the game for $26.10 I got the controller for $16.
I also got a pristine used copy of Hitman Absolution for $34 (not great but I want to play it now)

In the end I traded:

Just Dance 3 Wii x 4 $83.20
Portal 2 x 2 $42
Alice $20.90
KZ Trilogy $26.10
Dead Island GOTY $21.00
Lego Batman 2 $21.10
GTA IV Complete $21.00
Batmann AC GOTY $21.10

Total: $256.40 (cost me $159.35)

FYI GS now sells $15 Taco Bell GCs....if that is your thing and you can use trade credit.

Also there is a good chance they are going to start selling Amazon Kindle cards.

Where are you hearing this? I went today and saw Taco Bell, Burger King, Starbucks, Applebees.....just GC to restaurants.

Damnnn, I really regret trading some of my stuff in now :(

Bought Forza Horizon during BF just because it was $15. Never thought I would play it.

Traded for $35
Add $5 to get Hitman Absolution

Now to return the BB copy I have tomorrow.

Of course my source is just a manager at GS but he said they are giving them away with Kindle purchases right now and if sales are strong there is a good chance they could become an everyday item.

Edit: Your GS had other places to eat? Hmmm....

I traded in a bunch of stuff for ~$226 credit today, but I'm wondering if I should also trade in BlOps 2, as well:

I recently beat it once and got the (I think) worst ending, and I want to go for the others, but with such a large amount being offered for it right now, should I trade it in and hope it'll show up cheaper later? Should I be a gamer and keep it, or a gaming businessman and trade it in in the hopes of picking it up later?

I'm also definitely going to try the single Blockbuster I can access to scout their inventory.

I bought an extra copy at that price to sell or give to a friend. This is awesome now.

Makes me wish I had played through Dead Island instead of letting it sit on the shelf.....

Is it a long game?

Now I'm stuck in office, not only missing out on this, but also craving for XXL Steak Nachos and Doritos Tacos thanks to you guys

Will try to beat assassins creed 3 this weekend. Maybe I can somehow squeeze in BLOPS 2 as well.
