As stated above, it isn't neccessarily a bad idea to have them override it. Because just as someone else stated, you can essentially get $11/3 Games due to the way they correct the TIV. Also if for some reason they don't have signs they could call another store.

I was told at BB, that today's definitely the last day of the promotion.

I can confirm the $1 minTIV and the fact that it must be an overide.
Just make sure you discuss it with the employee and it'll be fine.
I didn't get $10 added to one game but it was split up among them.
Dolt that I am I didn't find out when the promotion ends.

Here's the store credit that I was given today for these 360 games:

Assassin's Creed $5.00
Bonus: $3.33 Price Overide
Disc: $0.83 Edge Card 10%
(Total $9.16)

Marvel Ultimate Alliance Special Edition $10.00
Bonus: $3.33 Price Overide
Disc: $1.33 Edge Card 10%
(Total $14.66)

BioShock $8.00
Bonus: $3.34 Price Overide
Disc: $1.13 Edge Card 10%
(Total $12.47)

A manager I knew said that this promotion ends Jan 25th.... He had to override the trade in, but everything should be fixed by tomorrow he says.

Here are some more TIVs

College Hoop 2k7 (PS3) - $1.50
Fracture (360) - $12.00
Guitar Hero III (360) - $5.00
Open Season (360) - $3.00
Cars (360) - $4.00
Fuzion Frenzy 2 (360) - $5.00


So glad I got rid of college hoop 2k7.

Yesterday. I did all my trading yesterday to take advantage of both the Wii +$5 and the 3/4/5 bonus trade. Both are now dead replaced by the trade 3 get +$10.

yeah, I lost out on about $30 by not trading in my Blockbuster Wii stuff yesterday. I figured since it was in the email, it ran til the 8th, but in fine print that I neglected to read, the Wii +$5 deal ended on the 4th. Today being the 5th meant bye bye $30. Also had to have manual override. Picked up a few Mario Power Tennis, Star Wars KOTOR II at Blockbuster, still traded in above $8 each. Not as nice as the Trade 3/4/5, but I'll take what I can.

Here are some TIVs as of Yesterday night:


GTA IV - $9
F.E.A.R. Files - $7
Spiderwick - $7
VF5 - $7
Ratchet & Clank - $10
Innocent Life - $6


DBZ: BK2 - $4
Bully - $8
MLB 2k8 - $8

Was surprised on a couple (Ratchet and Clank)

I probably should read first, but this appears to be YMMV right now. I went to three locations today, none of which had the system apply the bonus value. The first guy I went to was really nice and just kept adding 10% until it reached the total that I would have gotten, I even got $3 extra out of the deal. The other two stores didn't even know about the deal, and the system didn't initiate the deal when I tried to trade, so I skipped them.

here's a couple TIV as of today 1/5

xbox360
Dark Sector - 7
Bee Movie - 5
Sega Rally Revo - 5
NHL 2k8 - 3
GTA IV - 9
Virtua Fighter 5 - 7

Wii
Octomania - 2
MLB 2k8 - 8
Meet the Robinsons - 5

PS3
GTA IV - 11
Pirates of the Caribbean - 3

Dark Sector has a TIV of $7 - When did this happen?

it does help that it isn't in the system, b/c the edge bonus is applied to the adjusted price, at least that was the case for me today.

Updated again.

Wow on Dark Sector for 360 trading in at 7 before bonuses... Not bad at all.

Base TiV 1/5:

Spiderwick Chronicles (360) - $7.00
Virtua Tennis 3 (360) - $3.00
Manhunt 2 (Wii) - $8.00

Has anyone else been able to confirm xbox360 dark sector TIV for $7, as I might try trading this tomorrow.

Anyone know PS3's TIV for Mercenaries 2?

No go at my Gamestop. The manager didnt even know of the deal so he would not ring it up himself. Ill just go to another GS on wednesday.

Not much help now, but here is some trades I did on the 2nd:

Commandos Strike (PS2): $1.50
Lego Star Wars 2 (PS2): $8.50
Need for Speed Prostreet (PS2): $7.00
Alone in the Dark (360): $5.50

ok i did two trade this evening, 1st trade went very well at this GS. He override with the $10 bonus for me. but at the 2nd trade (diff GS), the guy has no idea what he is doing. i trade in 12 games, and only gotten $10 bonus plus edge. he did not override at all. then i went back to tell him, i didnt get my $10 bonus per 3 game. He told me i only get $10 bonus for my first 3 games lol. i'm going to take my receive to the GS, and have them change it tomorrow.
