the madden game is in a apper sleeve like the psp bundles have them. i asked the manager at GS when I got it and he looked it up, $20 for madden psp. I have held of on trading it in since I sont have 4 other games, gotta find some at BBv, maybe a small flip from GS->BBV->GS, dont need any profit, just 1:1 games so I can get the bonus, + I'm gonna pick up RE4 wii with that coupon. good thing I held off getting it til now. And also getting a xbl points card at BBV.

Also the contest for syphon filter is still on, so put at the end of your post if your interested.

Not so many interested yet (6 I think). I'll pick out of hat on saturday I think.

Any thoughts on a contest for Beats?

I just added the list of Wii games compiled by Bezerker and whatup5 to the second post. Then I realized they showed only the after coupon GS prices and to be consistent with the rest of the prices I had to convert back to the original GS prices. D'oh! Kind of a pain since I'm on dialup now. Anyway, please post both for any future lists and they will go into the second post faster that way .

I had no idea Dewey's Adventure was so cheap now at GS. I might just pick that up for the kids anyway.

At the end of the day, do what you want , but I thought this info would be helpful, and I for one appreciate the collaborative effort and would like it to last....

P.S. thanks for the info! beat me to the phone tonight.

Have a great evening....
Must be something specific to your district. While I am (obviously) 100% aware of this thread and the activities, I am also not a clueless douche that likes to ban people the moment I realize they traded in two games. However, put this info in the hands of one of the aforementioned douche's and you've got instaban written all over your account.

My warning to you (and everyone else) is simple... don't be stupid. Trade 1 copy of each game to each store. Period. Don't give stores reason to suspect shit. The only exception to this rule would be my store or any other store that has a cool store manager/assistant manager that likes you and has half a brain.

That being said, it looks like there's a lot of good trade fodder this week, so it shouldn't be too hard to trade 5-6 different games to each store.

So I figured you must mean this thread. But then again, who knows...
I have no idea what he's talking about either...Telling people to not do something but not allude to what "something" is can be confusing as hell. Jesus, makes it sound like we're in a badly written spy novel or something.

I'm sure you already know, but you can get $32 if you trade Madden at a GS participating in the extra 50% TIV.

Oh, and

Anyone trade NCAA 09 recently? Just curious if there are any promos involved with it.

More flipping opportunities with Wii games....hmmm, do I want to move credit around again? I think I still have almost $100 at GS to move to Blockbuster if I choose. Hmmm, what to do

I second that. As simple as it was, it saves me the trouble of doing it. I was seconds away from making probably the same list and now, thankfully, I don't.

1. Windows Media Connect is basically WMP11 now...you can share stuff WITHOUT using Media Center.
2. Once you pull a picture up, I believe there is an option to set as a background
3. Unsure
4. Why does this matter? I think you need a TV tuner in your PC....you should know if you TV has a built in tuner....this does NOT effect Media Center.
5. Not sure if there is a copy option from Media Center...you may have to throw on a flash drive to copy directly to the 360. I never copy over, just stream.

Oh, and
???

you mean the coupon? I tried that a week ago at 2 GSs and they wouldn't take it.

I got $50 bbv credit so I'm gonna transfer with a few games and transfer a preorder there. Plus gotta return that gow psp for $215.xx gs credit while I'm there.

Honestly, I find the media center options to be horrible. It takes forever for the sample pictures to load for all the videos. It's much easier to just share everything through WMP and then you can just view the titles in the selected folders on your 360.

Just happened to see one today at my local BB/GR and remembered that I used that promo a while back on my SP after I got a DS. Not great, but I have seen enough requests in here for even money that it might be worth it to some of you.
With Edge would this net you a little extra, actually?

no it doesn't because the edge card doesn't include systems
