So I just traded Okami and Paper Mario for Fallout 3. I also tried to trade an unopened Lego Indy/Kung Fu Panda from my girlfriend's Elite bundle, but they wouldn't take it and said they'd only count it as one anyway. Guess I'll have to open it myself and split it out into separate cases or something. Not like I don't have 10 Gamestops around here at which I can try for different results anyway.

Yeah I agree. Unless your using credit. For example, if you bought a game at 15.00 at Target and traded it into BBV for 30 and then bought 2 15.00 games. You would be paying 15 +20= 35 dollars for a new game.

Anyone trading CoD4 in on this deal? If so, stop!! I'll send you my Metroid 3 (or other title I have thats eligible) instead.

just traded in the orange box and ninja gaiden 2 for COD: WAW

How do people lose the case and manual for a game?

I won't buy used games from eb/gs because the case and manual aren't guaranteed.

deos this promo stacks with edge?

I generally only buy used in-store for this exact reason. You can always return a gs.com purchase in-store if you feel like takin' your chances.

Alright, so has I stated earlier, the Iron Man and Hulk deal I got was just luck. It turned out that it was mis-priced at the first BB/GR I went to. I still went a head and traded those in and picked up CoD:WaW though.

As for the deal itself, I was really skeptical myself, but then I figured out how to make it work out just as someone above said. I went to Target and got MLB 08 the Show (x2) for 14.98 and then traded those in for $30 credit a piece at BB/GR. The found 4 14.99 games there and brought those to GS and got Gears 2 and CoD:WaW.

Sorry to be a bother, but does anyone know if this deal is valid at every GS/EB location? From the posted images, I can't find one of those codes for the employee to enter at the register - do I need to print out the flyer?

Thank you in advance!

It's a nationwide promo and the register handles it automatically if two eligible games are traded in and an eligible game for purchase is rung up (once they total it up).

As I noted previously, the computer did not automatically do it when I tried to do this with an existing pre-order. In that case, the clerk would either need to cancel your pre-order and just ring up the game, or manually adjust the trade-in values to $20 each for the two games you trade it toward your pre-ordered game.

Personally, I wouldn't even consider this. You have 4 of the best games of the 360. I really don't see where any of those 4 are going to lose communities any time soon (CoD4 will be determined within the next month or two). Seriously just go find two 14.98 games that flip for $30 at Target and go about it that way.

... As for the deal, I just thought of why I don't like it (despite doing it twice last night). At some point I kind of forgot about the part that I could just trade in two MLB 08s that I spent a total of 31.xx on and get a game from Blockbuster/GameRush (instead of flipping back to GS and paying an additional 20 per game.

It's good for people that have credit at Blockbuster as most people are doing. Although, my Blockbuster is generally cleared out of the $14.99 eligible games. I still want Gears 2 and LBP and possibly L4D.

Do Halo 3 and Orange Box for Gears 2 at least.

The Gears community is gonna dominate XBL for a long time.

I don't think anyone is sure if the majority of the COD4 community is willing to go back to WW2 as wel(I'm not personally)

Orange Box is $30 retail now, so I'm sure you'd be able to get it for under $20 used if you miss TF2 of Portal a lot.

This was not the case for me. I had $5 down on Mirror's Edge and the computer recognized the promotion and put them at $20 simultaneously when the employee totaled it. I laughed when I saw the LSW:CSaga TIV change from $4 to $20.

traded gow1 and lego starwars for mirror's edge... gamestop guy tried to jack me though... said I had to pay $31! hilarious... fail gamestop-guy.

Success! Got GH:WT and COD:WAW for $20 each.

Trade- in Values, all XB360:

Battlefield BC - $10
GTA IV - $12.50
Orange Box - $8.75
Civ Rev - $17 <-- much higher than anticipated

So getting $20 each for those 4 titles = total steal.

Hey has anyone here traded in a Platinum Hits Lego Star Wars Complete Saga and accepted with another title to get the $20 promotion? (I'm just wondering if they don't accept it as Platinum Hits version)

I was thinking of trading in my Kung Fu Panda/ Lego Indy bundle in for Gears of War 2. Do I need to put them in separate cases or can I just trade the discs in without a case?
