Trade 2 and get 10%, trade 4 and get 20%, and trade 6 and get 40%. They both end on 4/5/09. That's what this brochure says. I guess they'll start on Monday.

Will update with official GameStop.com information once they update their site.

Handhelds and older systems... These SHOULD be eligible for the tiered trade deal. Xbox trade-in values are no longer on this page as they are no longer accepted at GameStop as of 2/9/09.

Could be good. I wish they'd drop the TIV restriction to $1.00 or $.50 if they're only giving you $3.33 extra for each one.

that $2.00 TIV limit probably is their new way of doing an "exclusion list" like they used to in the old PS2/Xbox/GC days.

Why didn't this work when I tried it this morning?

I ended up trading the stuff in towards the Street Fighter IV game to get the benefit of the 30% (with edge), but this deal did not work.

AntiCommie · 01-05-2009, 01:39 PM

Dragon: I dont think you can combine offers. They may have screwed you, or maybe the 20% bonus was better, so the computer gave that one automatically.

Too bad this isnt 15$ for three...

jer7583 · 01-05-2009, 01:40 PM

Here's a version of the list with all $2 and under titles removed. Mostly useful for 360 games since a lot of those are cheap. I'd also be wary of any launch titles or games that get between $2 and $3 since they can easily drop those to $2 to exclude them from the bonus.

Click thine button for yon truncated list.

i called and got confirmation on this going on right now from 2 stores earlier today.

A question I asked in the old thread:

I'm asking it here since this thread will get more traffic than another.

Does Gamestop charge tax when using EDGE credit online?

i believe it is specific to your state.

jer7583 · 01-05-2009, 02:01 PM

I know that Michigan does charge tax for store credit (apparently?) and Wisconsin does not.

Hmm, that's very strange. I have a receipt in hand that clearly shows I traded in 3 games (all next gen), and all above the $2.00 minimum. The only benefit I got in one of the two cases was the Edge card (10%).

I did a second trade-in, when it failed to work again, I just opted to do the credit towards SF IV. Maybe it didn't activate in the system, until noon (EST)?

espionage · 01-05-2009, 02:11 PM

dang $10 instead of $15 for 3 games makes me have to rethink this a bit. I guess it's still obviously worth it for cheap games, but for a $25 credit game the $3.33 bonus is only 13%. i guess january is "get rid of all your cheap games" month at gamestop...

Yeah, I live in a state where tax isn't charged on items paid with tax.

Thanks for the replies

Dang, I only have two Wii games to trade in right now. Guess I need to find an extra one somewhere for cheap.

chuckie88 · 01-05-2009, 02:32 PM

Just did a phone call verification here in ATL and the employee confirmed the deal as being 3 Wii, PS3, or 360 games for an additional $10.
However he also claimed that the minimum was $1 not $2. I'll be leaving shortly to check it out and report what I find out.

**guinaevere** · 01-05-2009, 02:35 PM

If it's $1 minimum, that could make a difference to some of us.

Okay, after I screwed everything up, Linkin helped straighten things out. Everyone say Thank You to LP. And thanks again to jp! You did a great job with the last thread, I'm so glad you're willing to keep this one going strong, too. =)

JP · 01-05-2009, 02:38 PM

Thanks Linkin, guinaevere, and io (for not being angry after my swiping of the thread last time). All the mods on this site do a great job and I know myself and others appreciate the great work you guys do.

Animal7390 · 01-05-2009, 02:43 PM

you down with opp?

JP · 01-05-2009, 02:45 PM

Yeah you know me.

crunchewy · 01-05-2009, 02:48 PM

Does this mean that the +$5 for every Wii game is now over? I thought that ran until Thursday? Or is it still in effect? Obviously $5 for every Wii game is a lot better then $10 for every 3 Wii games.
