Yeah, I picked up a flyer tonight. I think it starts 7-30

Traded in another 4 games today, puts me at $295.61 for the 26 games I traded in today and yesterday.

360 titles

Rage - $5
Deadliest Warrior - $6
Assassins Creed Rev - $15
Lego Indiana Jones 2 - $6.50

The problem I have now is I never buy games at Gamestop, ever. So I've got $300~ in credit to a store I don't purchase games from. =/

Guess it is time to start. I won't be buying any release day games from them though. Pre-order bonuses are just not enough to make up for the fact they give no kickbacks and they have no price match policy. Only used and sale games for me.

J P just wanted to say thanks for your service and keeping up with this!
Again though I must say that you remind me of Corky from "life Goes On" every time I see your avatar pic with the special ed helmet.. Im jus sayin!

Thanks for the earlier input on some of my games guys. I ended up keeping Tales of Vesperia, Viva Pinata TIP, HALO Wars. They were all part of a 37 game lot I got along with 2 360 jasper consoles, 2 wireless controllers and a MS quick charge kit for $170.
I ended up trading in $555 worth of games today.

I don't blame you for
Keeping any of those games. I traded in halo wars awhile back (at least 1.5 years) and still regret it. I'll have to buy it back again once my backlog is down a bit more.

To JP and all of those who have contributed and continue to contribute to this thread, thanks a lot guys!

I don't understand why GameStop just doesn't have a page on their website (like Best Buy does for instance) that states their TIVs. I mean TIVs are supposed to be the same for all branches, right? By not disclosing it to the public on their site, it gives shady GS managers/employees the opportunity to screw over unwitting customers!

I'll let you know if this works but I read that if you preorder a game using credit and go back and cancel it they give you cash back. I preordered Hitman today and will go cancel it tomorrow and let you know.

$11 base for GTAIV?! Damn...

Lately I've been wanting to trade/sell my whole 360 Slim setup for cash or a Ps3....if I already had the console sold, I'd hit up trading in GTAIV for that!

7/26


Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One - $6
Resident Evil 5 - $7
Borderlands - $8

So when I did my trade today I also got the last "new" copy of Lego:HP 5-7. It was an open copy which really does not bother me except for the fact they throw it into this sealed bag and pretend like it was new all along. The least they could do it treat it as a used copy for return purposes. The intellectual disconnect is pretty funny.

Hold it until Black Friday and pick up console bundles to resell to soccer moms. Works like a charm.
