I think if you ask them they'll do it, I had a similar scenario once.

If they say no, buy a game using your edge card, then return it a day or so later and ask them to put the credit on a gift card.


I forgot exactly what I did, but I had an edge card with $15 and a gift card with $30 in the same day doing a return.

Does anybody know how much is the TIV for 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa on PS3 and Xbox 360?

You can straight up buy gift cards with your edge card credit. I use to do that a lot. Flip a lot, buy gift cards in $100 increments, then sell them on eBay for $80-$90 a pop. Quick, easy way to get real moneys and still come out ahead, if you flip properly.

Not crazy, it used to be jp0213. After about 6 months I hated the 0213 part but didn't feel like bugging cheapy and I didn't really participate/lurked so figured he wouldn't change it anyway. I was emailing him last week about the glitches with the prices BBCode I'm using in the lists currently and just inquired about a name change to JP, since everyone calls me that anyway. Fixed the glitches and the username. It's really funny if I post after io. At least it was to me: io, JP. Not as funny as I think it is but I find it entertaining.

JP!!! Now our secret money making scam is out! It's okay though, since you are a CAG Legend.

I could spoiler it, or even better put it in the first post. No one would find it there!

CAG Legend? I thank you for the kind words but I do not even come close to a legend. Just a guy lucky (dumb) enough to swipe a thread from a mod and run with it.

That's my fault, all I saw was his rolly-eye emoticon at me and I got furious, not looking at any other posts.

If he hadn't done the rolly-eye I wouldn't have been that mad. My anger still stood but I thought I should add the edit since I saw jp corrected him before I had posted my response.

There's a much better method to this but I can't spoil it. Your method works, but you lose the $10-15 less than the FV that the gift card sells for PLUS 9% in eBay fees PLUS 2.9% in Paypal fees. So your $100 gift card now is $79 in cash.

Oh, and if you don't physically mail the card and use some kind of delivery confirmation, the buyer can scam you saying "Item Not Received", leaving you with no way to prove delivery.

(Take it from somebody who sold a 12-month Xbox Live card, mailed it, and had the buyer claim the code was ripped off. When it was sealed in that plastic hell MS uses. Rightttttt.)

Just confirming Blur is still holding strong.

:O You can call gamestop and ask for a trade in value for a game?!

Question, is it a gift card you get or is it $200 cash?

Also, do you guys think its worth it to trade in an MGS4 80GB PS3 for the $200? Dont really know what to do here...thanks!

lol, i call and ask for tiv's all the time. they don't mind as long as you are friendly.

Instead of two gift cards I was given two Edge cards with the amounts on them. Is this what they usually do?

Is the Slim trade-up program still on? I know it was originally July 18th, but they've stopped advertising it. I was able to pick-up a Slim while I was driving around, but I didn't have my old 360 with me. The employee said I have 7 days to re-ring anything, and that the trade-up program WAS still on.
