Actually, the original Uncharted should be $9.99 in-store already with no need to use a coupon.

EDIT: If they don't have a used copy on the shelf, but there's a copy in the rental section, then you could try to get them to sell that to you. The one manager sold me a game recently after doing a 1 day $1.99 rental, then selling it to me for the used price.

As long as it's not a newer release(Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted 2), then they should be willing to sell out the rental copy to you for the used price plus the price of a one night rental.

what is the trade in value for lets tap?

Went to a local BBV/GR to find they are no longer a GR??? Still have the sign, but the light is offf they told me. lol

So, I'll have to go to a further out Gamerush and trade my two copies of FTF. Traded two yesterday at my closest GR for a $44 card. With this other $44 card I'm trying to decide do I try to get some kind of hardware (with $$ out of pocket) or just buy 4 new Blu-Ray movies (they have a bunch of new ones in there ad for $19.95).

Also, as for the coupon, my store had a bunch of the fliers, interesting that the coupon works on any games and not just the ones it points to on the flier.

Are you referring to the 10 dollars off coupon? It only works with the games it says "selected". I attempted to use it off 10-15 dollar games and the coupon failed.

Call and ask.

Hmm, my mistake, I thought I saw talk above that it was working on everything.

laziness is getting real old real quick.
Just call and then post for others.

I still have 3 Blockbuster accounts, I assume that can only help.

edit: Hard part is remembering which cards have trade accounts at which stores.

You're quite welcome. It was in a recent price drop post from one of the Blockbuster employees who post in this thread.

Though I'm still trying to get them to sell me the rental copy they have on the shelf, since my copy that I bought from the local shop has a nick in the disc and a few surface scratches. It still played ok on my PS3, but I'm anal about condition on my games usually(unless I get them stupid cheap).

Did you sell the extra PS3's you bought and for how much?

Don't know if anyone called, but FTF 360 is STILL at $22 TIV today.

Also, I noticed they are having the holiday buy $50 gift cards get $5 gift card. Is this still working with the value cards?? As in you use your value card to purchase $50 worth of GIFT cards and get an extra $5 card.

I noticed the $10 off coupon seems it varies store to store which games qualify. I picked up MW2 for ps3 and saw Uncharted 2, Halo ODST, and Wolverine for 360. MW 2 for 360 was gone because someone bought six copies yesterday.

Yeah, that was partly my fault - I assumed the same since someone said they got Uncharted using it. But IATCG is right, it is only $10 used anyway - though I haven't seen one since it dropped to $20 even.

Bioshock for PS3 is $9.99 by the way. I mentioned this before but thought it was worth repeating. I guess I'll update both of those in the OP. I think we have to be having a B1G1 here soon.

Traded in my last copy of FTF today...$22 as mentioned already.

I did get one copy of Saint's Row 2...but I may keep it for myself, unless it trades for something decent, but I doubt it.

I think I already picked up a POG SR2 a while back, so now I have both versions.....that is why I may trade in SR2.

Just got back from trading 2 FTF, will try and trade my other 3 tomorrow. Also, another trade in value for those interested:

$10 X-Blades (360)

Had it left over from the Best Buy deal. Planned on playing it for the Achievements, just never got around to it. Surprised it was still getting that much, got $15 for it when I traded in the others a few months back.

Cha-ching, $88 bucks for FTF and will be going back tomorrow!

I wish Borderlands was one of the titles I could use the $10 off coupon toward.

Considering that the PS3 version of SR 2 is only $14.99 used(haven't seen a 360 version lately), I sincerely doubt that it's getting anything decent anymore as far as TIV's go.

As for me, I picked up a complete/mint copy of Heavenly Sword today with $21.19 of the $44 I got at another Blockbuster for trading in two more copies of Fairytale Fights earlier tonight.

Couple this with picking up Halo 3 and COD:WAW(also for 360) at HWV for $5 each after trading in 2 copies of FF there for $16 each and having $22 and change left there and then taking those two games to GS with two MORE copies of FF and getting $59 in credit THERE and using most of that on two pre-orders and the God Of War Collection on PS3.

Best Buy has made this a very Merry Christmas for me.
