Does anyone know if the 20% bonus works with last-gen games?

Sorry for the off-topic post, but has anyone had any luck with the 30% trade-in coupon? I picked up a copy of Mario Kart DS yesterday that I don't intend on playing. Would love to dump it with a 40% trade bonus. Should I even bother asking, or just hope they are still out?

My local GS told me it works with all games as long as they are $2.50 in value (I guess they don't want to give you an extra 20 cents for your copy of Madden 08). Not sure if thats a local thing or not, but the 20% bonus worked on the PS2 games I traded in.

On the other hand my local stores say that you can trade in any games they normally would accept, regardless of value or system, and receive the credit. It's actually a good way to get rid of old crappy last-gen games that no one would want for free if you combine them with a high-value current gen game.

Anyone know what the next trade in deal will be or if these will be extended

i hope gamestop runs good deals during bf coz lately there has been no deals...

I'm guessing they will be posted tomorrow. Always seems like the Thursday or Friday prior to the new deals.

This.

Hoping for a Fable III trade-in deal.

Hoping for a better tiered trade in than 20% hopefully 40% or 10 and 20 dollars

Hmmm.... I was gonna trade in some games tomorrow, not sure if I want to wait now.

No updates on the new promos just yet.

Updated lists and database.

Trade in prices from today:

:
Capcom vs SNK 2: 4.75
Marc Ecko's Getting Up: 0.65
MGS3 Subsistence: 3.25
NFS Most Wanted: 2.25
NFS Underground 2: 2.00
Socom 3: 1.00
Spiderman 2: 1.25
Star Wars Battlefront 2: 2.75

:
Resident Evil Zero: 2.75
Resident Evil: 3.50
Madden 2003: 0.20
Star Wars Bounty Hunter: 2.75

Total with 25% Bonus (towards Black Ops) and 10% Edge: $36.59. Kind of annoyed that base prices aren't on my receipt anymore so I have to do 1st grade math to get them :(

Halo Reach (360) $30
Speed Racer (Wii) $2.50
Darksiders (360) $5.00
Tropico 3 (360) $6.00
MLB 2k10 (360) $11.00
Wanted (360) $4

I tried to use the 30% bonus coupon but they shot me down after asking me several questions (where did you get it, is it expired, what type of ink did you use, what's your blood type) and then laying the "oh it says it doesn't combine with other offers" excuse on me.

After the 20% deal and the bonus 10%, I got $76.

Oh and they were pimping their new rewards program. The lady says something like if you buy a game for $60, you're 1/4 of the way to a free $20 PSN/1600 MS Points card.

Wrong.

I looked up the rewards, and the cards are 20,000 points. So yeah, at 10 points per dollar, it would take 30+ game purchases of $60 to get a free $20 card.

What a deal!

quoted TIVs 10/14

New Super Mario Bros $17
Toy Story 3 $15

Used the Dead Rising 2 promo and edge card

bioshock -$4 -$ 5.40
bioshock 2 -$8 -$10.80
bad company 2 -$10 -$13.50
mass effect 2 -$5 -$ 6.75
halo 3 odst -$15 -$20.25
fallout 3 -$5 -$ 6.75
mario galaxy -$12 -$16.20

side note
on the receipt it said "forza 3/halo 3 odst" no idea why though

possibly the combo pack has a lower TIV than odst by itself?
they did that to me the last time I traded in; counted lego batman and pure as the combo even though they were disc only in separate cases.

Medal of Honor - $23

It would have been nice to know about the crappy trade in value before I bought it.

Welcome to Gamestop. The trade in value plummeted as soon as he rang it up.

That's the highest TIV after promo's right now. Amazon is only at $24 LOL

$23 is not normal for a title billed as a AAA release right after launch.
