I traded in 4 games that ran me about 15 bucks to do the EBgames deal on Ninja Gaiden. I got the coupon codes today via email! They gave me 4 coupon codes that I can use, 20, 20, 10, 2. The 2 dollar was to cover shipping. Only downside is that it states cannot be used on shipping... But that's only 1.99. Best deal I've gotten on EBgames!

I know I should do this deal, because I absolutely adore team ninja and I'm unlikely to be able to afford the game until months after the release, but the concept of trading in games is just repugnant to me.

I've never done so in my entire life, and I seriously doubt I could part with something once it was in my hands -- I'm a pack rat of the worst kind. Add that to my tendency toward procrastination, and it's a recipe for disaster.

I would ask a friend to do it for me, and pay them back,but I don't know anyone that together who would be willing to go out of their way to feed my gaming addiction

sometimes it really sucks being the most organized person I know, and knowing that I'm not that organized myself to begin with ;-)

I feel the same way, once I open a game, I can't trade it in. I have never sold a game before that I opened.

What you can do is just buy some cheap games for $5 or under. I traded in 4 games that I bought just for this offer (Kabuki Warriors, Fantavision, Evolution Skateboarding and Nascar Heat 2002) all of which were under $5 and I didn't feel like I missed out on those games since I would never want a game like Kabuki Warriors in my collection.

Do the coupons have an expiration date?

trading in 4 games for one game doesn't make sense to me. unless its like $5 each for all 4 games I can't see that deal being beneficial to the consumer.

No, I asked them and they said that the coupons could be used on any games at their website and that they don't have an expiration date ( of course, don't use in about 2 years from now. lol )

wait, so that means youre not locked into buying JUST ninja gaiden?

...it also means i can still get the promo wall scroll? sweet!

Even if they are 10 dollar games, thats still only 40 bucks, and 10 bucks cheaper than buying it. The deal is a good one for those that have old, crappy games that arent worth much that they would be willing to get rid of for a new title.

if you could use it for any game then..............the possibilities

ok lemme get this straight..i can buy ANY 4 games and trade them..they then send me coupon codes worth $50 that can be used for whatever game i want??

also which offer is better..this one [if above is true] or the after xmas trade-in deal??

It can't be sports or wrestling games, but I traded in junk like Kabuki Warriors (bought it for $5 at Gamestop just for this trade in offer) and Fantavision (same thing, bought it for $5 to trade in) so they'll accept horrible games that have usually a $0.50 trade in value just as long as they aren't sports or wrestling games.

has anybody been able to trade in games for multiple vouchers? seems kinda strange if you keep trading in games to pre-order ninja gaiden but I don't see why it should be a problem.

I was just about to make a post, but I guess ill do it here, now if you trade in 4 5 dollar games, some people are doing it cheaper with the buy 2 get one free. So thats 4 games for 15=50 in eb credit, a ps2 is also 150 used, that would be 45-60. Im going to do the offer again on another account after xmas

I emailed them & they said you can do this deal as many times as you want.

Ninja Gaiden also comes with the $10 mail in voucher. So even after you get it and send in the voucher they send you another code for $10 :-)

It requires the original UPC code.

I don't know about you, but cutting up the inserts & messing up the plastic is not worth $10.

Thanks.

Is the trade in deal available online only or can I trade them in in-store too? I stopped by one last week and asked the manager about it and she said that she's heard about the deal but couldn't find it in print so I couldn't do it...

I don't get it. Couldn't u just buy Eb's games for less than $10 & trade em in?

As long as the 4 games you're buying are less than $12.50. You'll come out ahead.

It doesnt say Hockey. And can we trade in 4 copies of the same game?

"Trade in four games and get Ninja Gaiden for Xbox free! Eligible trades include PS2, Xbox and GameCube games except for football, baseball, basketball, wrestling and soccer titles. After we receive your games, we'll send you an e-mail with a $50 coupon code that can be used to purchase Ninja Gaiden."

I emailed them & they said 4 copies of the same game are ok.
