I know right? Who the hell would buy a used copy of L4D2 for $45? It's $30 MSRP new everywhere...

Sorry I was not clear the two aren't mutually exclusive. He could still flip and then get the 40 black ops 2. I was just saying he should preorder at best buy rather than at gamestop.

Well this is how the math would work converting credit from BBY to GS using AC:Rev to buy a game on the BBY fall $20 RZ cert offer. I am using Thursday'v value ($21.50) that includes PUR. This would be worse if you did not have PUR or your traded on Wed when it got ($20.40)

Buy 3 AC:Rev for $9.99 x 3 = $29.97 + tax (for me it equals $31.50).

Trade to GS for $64.50 credit and pay off game tax free $59.99 leaving $4.51 in credit left.

True cost in BBY credit = $29.30.

Cost of staying with BBY = $59.99 + tax ($63.05 for me) minus $20 RZ cert. True cost $39.99 + tax since RZ certs will not be taxed when used. ($42.03 for me) I guess this part is more complicated than that since you have to buy something again to take advantage of the rebate.

Now at this point it was better to buy from GS by flipping. If you get a price match better than $48 it makes BBY better. For a Silver member this is very likely.

I think my math is right but I am tired from moving my parent today. Anyone let me know what I screwed up or omitted.

i tried the AC today but best buy had no copies of it.

I don't see it here. https://myrewardzone.bestbuy.com/off...00a76f8009c50a

Also, if you take a look at other games that are on the list they have the offer listed under "special offer" but not BO2

Ugg....that is a lot simpler than the mess I tried to concoct above.

Yea its simple but you don't have to have two mutually exclusive things. You can have your cake and eat it too so to speak. As for the list if you go to the thread they have where it is located there.

No they rnt stupid actually because they bank on people separating that game so that they could charge more money. Plus more people are willing to buy from tgem used individually then a combo pack.

Tomorrow is the extra $5 on Vita games, right? Wonder if Modnation is still over $3. Hope so, since I got it for less than $1, it'd be good to get more than that back for it.

Next time you're in GS, have the employees give you a print out of local/GS.com stock for those 2 games and you'll have a good laugh at how low it is. That's why they give so much for it, and charge outrageous prices for it.

I hope Gravity Rush and Pilotwings Resort hold their values

That's weird--there's a second promo for 50% extra credit when you buy a used game, and it's active on the same days as that one...

In other news, I could go for $20 off B:AC GotY; it's not like I don't have any credit to spend.

It should also be noted that you can only get this if you trade in towards a pre-owned product.
