Sounds like a good deal. And the initial reviews of FNR4 are promising. I called my nearby GameStop just to make sure they were aware of the deal. The guy on the phone said it didn't matter if I traded in 360 or PS3 games as long as they were on the list. I don't have a 360, so will have to see what I can find on clearance at WalMart and Target. I think the Target I live by has many more 360 clearance games.

I had the same problem as a few others. I bought three 12.48 games from a Target right next to the Gamestop and didn't unwrap them in case the deal didn't work and was told they cannot accept shrink wrapped games. Asked if I could just "open them". No dice.

So I went to another Gamestop traded them in (CSR didn't know about the 59.99 deal so he had to check) and it worked like a charm. Ended up getting me around 65$ so I had around .40 to put on my edge card. FNR4 for around 41 total. Great deal thanks alot OP.

And IGN just rated the game 8.8 so I guess I'll give it a shot.

They didn't at my store because I still had to pay the $3 something in taxes.

Hmm... so if you can find 3 $10 games at Target to trade in, that's about $32 in cash.

Trade em in at GS, pay the extra ~3 in tax for FNR4... so basically FNR4 costs you $35.

Not bad.

Basically the same as the EA sims card dealio

The OP's image states "Marvel Ultimate Alliance Gold/Platinum."

The Gold is the updated version, but what's the Platinum?

For those who have none of the titles LOTR Conquest is $10 at Target and L4D and Raw are $13. So buy all 3 and you get Fight Night for around $35.

this deal really blows before gamestop asked for trade in 2 games plus pay another $20 for the fallout 3 deal back then

only way you profit is finding some games across target clearances but I live in a city with a lot of people and most of the stuff rarely make it to the 75% off mark off

WTF is the difference if you walk out and back in? Stupidity boggles the mind. EDIT: Also, I wonder if you were like "okay I'll go home, play it, and come back tomorrow, the end"

Well, it makes no sense if you don't think like they (or their management) do. They assume anyone bringing in sealed games just stole them from the Walmart (or whatever) next door. Thus, letting you go outside and open them and then bring them in to trade still wouldn't make sense. Yeah, sure, if you opened them in the first place then they still wouldn't know if they were stolen or not so it still is rather ridiculous. But I guess the thinking is that someone who is stealing them would want to keep them sealed for maximum value until they were sure they could get something for them. But the same is true for legitimate flippers (ie, those who buy them at places like Target and trade them to GS). You may want to keep them sealed in case the value drops so you can then return them (legitimately, using a receipt) wherever you got them from. So I see the desire of CAGs to keep things sealed. But really, there's enough info on CAG about game trading, especially during deals like this, that you should be safe opening games the day you plan to trade them in. And like I said before, you really ought to consider keeping the nice new minty cases and giving GS your older ones anyway so I see no reason not to open them in advance.

CML for UFC, if you have the 360 version that is.

Why is Grid for 360 still on these trade in lists? It was released June of 2008 and is not rare by any means. It must be one of those games they can always sell when it gets traded in. I guess I just don't see it.

I'm loving this and going to head up tomorrow and do it. I'm very interested in FNR4.

I've got a copy of NHL 09 which I don't play anymore and will become obsolete come September 9th which is the day NHL 10 is supposed to be out.

Same with Fifa 09 which has a new version coming out almost exactly a month after NHL.

For my final title I guess I'll trade my Madden 09 CE which also never gets any play, and Madden 10 will be out in August! This one kind of hurts because I kinda like Head Coach and it isn't a yearly release. I haven't played it in forever though, and it can probably be had as the stand-alone version super cheap if I ever get the hankering to play it again down the line.

Just be sure you check the trade in values they give you. They also have a promotion for 20% extra trade value when you trade stuff in towards FNR4(or Madden or NCAA). For example, if I go by the trade values of my games according to the thread on this site it would be like 48.50..but NHL 09 hasn't been updated since April so that has likely gone down. This means both deals work out almost exactly the same for me...but for those of you with Edge card as well make sure you are getting the best deal, assuming you're not trading in some of the lover valued games on the list....many of which I'm very surprised to see on there too.

I traded in NHL and FIFA to Amazon for about $20 each. With the extra $50/$75 bonus, much better deal.

can i trade in 2 xbox games and a ps3 game and get the ps3 version?

Riddick alone I can sell for $32 on Amazon at the moment...If you give me about 2 days after Fight Night 4's release, I'll find it for $50-55. So yeah, I would take you up on that deal, and I'm not the only one who thinks this "deal" isn't worth mentioning.

Even if you can find 3 of these games on the list for $15, you're still wasting your time because you could have sold them for $25-30 each... But whatever, buy into their offer, glad it's not my money being wasted.

If you want a new system maybe....if not, not sure which deal is better.

Ask for a gift receipt. They don't show the trade in transactions. Then return it to another store for credit.

This where Goozex points come in handy.

Probably going to do this today with my PS3 versions of QoS, MX vs ATV, and either GTA IV (to get later on 360) or Madden CE (to later get 2010)

Wasn't even considering FNR4 before this thread, thanks OP & GS!

Took advantage of this deal yesterday by trading in RBSV2, Heavenly Sword, and Lord of the Rings: Conquest (thanks Target 9.98).

Of course the GS employee didn't know about the offer, and said "Wow, the total trade in before this offer would have been like $24 pre-Edge". I think it was around $10 for LOTR, 8 for Heavenly Sword and 6 for RBSV2.
