I wanna slap whoever said you don't need the booklet. Had to travel all the way back home. Bastard.

"The system" doesnt care one bit if you do multiple transactions on the same ID. I did three trade-ins just using my DL one after the other. All my games were older/"worthless" games ('cept maybe KH:BBS) I had lying around:
- The 3rd Birthday, KH:BbS, Fat Princess:FoC, Yu-Gi-Oh Tag Force
- Soul Bubbles, Desktop Tower Defense.

This came in right on time as there were three $29.99 games I was looking to get at a cheaper price: Prof. Layton and the Last Spectre, Uncharted 3, and Nickelodeon Dance.

Seeing as though PSP games have almost zero value anywhere, I feel good about it. May need to burn some GS credit to bolster my PSP collection.

I was able to use 3 coupons on 3 different games all in the same transaction (also bought other general stuff on that same transaction). Multiples dont cause "the system" any problems; could only possibly encounter employee "user error".

Oh ok, glad to hear there was no sysyem problems. This will save me time next trip. Thanks!

Thanks OP.

Traded in 2 free Homefronts (Best Buy Store closing + coupon) and got Uncharted 3. I knew there was a reason i got 2 i just didn't know then lol. Awwwwesome thanks OP!

same. one of the games -jurassic park- is technically under 29.99 (its listed as 29.90), but the coupon still worked, so like always, ymmv.

Here is the direct link to the coupons The coupons for the video games are on the last page.

Same thing here. I was able to use two coupons in the same transaction with no problem.

Considering DMC Collection with the coupon, thought it was gonna be an online-only offer, so glad to see I can do it in stores as well.

Thanks OP, awesome deal. I traded in NASCAR 08 (PS3), MLB Front Office Manager (PS3), Skate (PS3), Fantastic Four (PS3), Rock Band (PS3), and Pure (PS3). Walked out the door with two copies of Uncharted 3 and a copy of Kingdoms of Amalur for $40 + tax. Used all three coupons on a single transaction, no questions asked. No issues getting them to take in three sets of games either. I will be taking more back throughout the week to get rid of more of my worthless games. : )

No Target store within 50 miles of me that have the trade-in thing acording to their online website. Good deal for those who can get on it, great wait to get rid of some old games and get better value off them.

Went to my local Targetto get in on the deal. Had to wait forever for them to sell some lady a phone with a phone plan. Then, after the 20 minutes of waiting for them to finish, the guy said his computer froze. Had to wait for him to reboot the computer, only for it to not be able to connect to the trade-in screen. He reboot it again and it still didn't work. So, after 45 minutes of total wait time, I walked out of the store with nothing. I wanted to raise hell, but I figured it wasn't his fault, so I just sucked it up.

For all those people that checked the store locator to have "none" come back, give the store a call. I think these Mobile kiosks are new so Target Mobile's site may not be working correctly yet.

Anyway. Traded Sly 2, Rachet & Clank: Going Commando, SW Battlefront GH, (all for the PS2) and Lego Star Wars (Xbox). Got Kirby Return to Dreamland for $20 (also had a $10 gift card from the Vita sale) and Kirby Mass Attack for $10.

Well I will start by saying I was able to get the coupon and Uncharted 3 for $10.50 but man it was an adventure. The guy working the Mobile Kiosk was very nice but man he was not prepared for this deal...in fact he did not even know it existed.

When I got there he was talking with some 14 year old asking about the deal. He shows it to him the flyer which prompts 2 phone calls and eventually a trip to the front. Before he does that he tells the kid that they do not do trades only mobile sales. So when he comes back without the kid I expect to be told not trade when I show him the games but someone must have clued him in up front because he says no problem. Well there was a problem because he did not know how to ring up the sale. First he tries scanning the games and they do not show up so he says only games in the database count. I said they were just there (Homefront and Brink) so he then proceeds to manually enter in various combinations of the UPC as I am staring in Big Letters SCAN UPC OR ENTER IN GAME DESCRIPTION. After about 8 failed attempts I tell him to try searching for Homefront and there it is. So he then does Brink and enters in my info but then he spend 5-10 minutes trying to track in a promo code which I said I thought you had to turn on before you started. He says no its automatic but after not finding the code and me pointing out the grey bar that says promo menu he relents. We start over and finally get it right. He prints out 2 copies of the trade which turns out to be 4 copies since it prints the Customer and Store copies anyway. I only say this because he runs out of paper when the coupon goes to print which results in unlocking a closet to find more paper. In the end I was there 45 min but at least using the coupon was a breeze and I traded UC3 to BBY for $27 after preordering Max Payne 3. Not sure it was worth it now...MP3 better be great.

The kicker was he tells me he is new but the manager of this Mobile store. He was very nice and never gave me a hard time but man a little heads up to the employees would have been nice. Maybe there was but this guy had no clue.

Count me in with the people debating about KoA. Will it drop below $40 in the next few months? Should I try to find it used at BB? Will there be a GOTY edition with DLC? I just picked up Witcher 2 annnnd my backlog is getting larger. My free time is getting less and less. Wedding and new house coming soon. Decisions, decisions.

L.A. CAG reporting:
Glendale Target is out of UC3 since yesterday. I was able to trade in homefront and a incomplete bionic commando and get Revelations. I had to argue a little about the missing manual thing so it's YMMV. The Pasadena Target might have UC3 left and they also take trade ins, but I was too tired today from getting all the free skin products for the Mrs.

damn i wished the coupon included some 3ds games, i might pick up DMC collection with it tho
