Traded in some games today, the below prices includes the extra 25% promo for trades towards Mortal Kombat.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max (PSP): 3.75
God of War Chains of Olympus (PSP): 6.25
Modern Warfare 2 (PS3): 15
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii): 27.50
Resident Evil 5 (360) : 7.50

Was pretty happy with the haul, managed to get Mortal Kombat free.

Updated first post with all the promos info that was available.

lol i think the employee at my gamestop forgot to scan my 50% coupon toward portal 2...

I traded in Killzone 3(27), RDR(15), and NBA 2k11(15), i got 76.95. By my calculations i should have gotten 91.20. ( () are the base values)

Now i am not at all blaming the employee. It is my fault for not making sure i got my total credit, but do you guys think i'd be able to go in there, show them this and get the $14.xx back? I know some of you guys went through the same thing, but what happened when you went in and tried to tell your side of the story? Again, not blaming the employee since i should've been more aware of what i was getting, but i just wanted to be sure that i would be able to get the $14.xx back. Thanks guys!

I'm assuming the Wii has dropped lower than $60 with the $50 bonus promo. Assuming it is still $50 or so, then that is $100 for a Wii. I think I might just dump my older one. It is a launch unit and already had to be repaired once by Nintendo. I just bought a new red one a few months back and I barely use either so it makes perfect sense to ditch one of them. My only hesitation with dumping the original one is all the Wii Shop stuff I have on it. But then I never play that stuff any more anyway... I used to have tons of CAGs registered, over 1000 Miis in my parade, and all sorts of system-locked game saves on it but when it went bad they wiped the memory and didn't restore any of that for me (the bastards). So I'm not nearly as concerned about that at least (we have just a few hours put back into SSBB for example after we had unlocked everything originally ).

It has been a long time since I even dealt with the Wii Shop stuff. I'm assuming there is still no way to transfer the games to a new system, right? I think I have 1000 points on my old shop account. I guess I should open an account on the new one and gift something from one to the other to spend those points before wiping the system memory, right? I've never done the gifting, either, but I assume it isn't too hard (just add both consoles on each other's friend list and go from there).

Base TIV as of 4/22/11:

Wii
New Super Mario Bros $25

I see people talking about a 50% trade-in coupon for Portal/MK, but I did a quick scan of this thread looking for and couldn't find it. Is it from another thread?

poweruprewards.com

newest award should show a banner of the 50% coupon. it cost 1000 points to redeem it. make sure to print out the actual coupon after pressing download.

I scanned the thread looking for a link to the coupon or spoiler tags with it. Silly me. Thanks!

You can try going back and explaining the situation. If that doesn't work, email their customer service and they will straighten it out for you.

Updated lists and database.

I'd go broke. But seriously, I can see it happening for GBA since they don't accept those for trade in anymore, and the stores around me have maybe 15 GBA games total left at each store.

Thanks man!

Would it be worth it to trade in my 360 60gb Pro(using a 120gb hdd) I have and put it towards a 360 S?

Depends if you have the money to spend on the rest of what the credit won't cover.

It's always nice to have a new system (and one you can depend on more so than the old white ones) .. but it's purely up to you.

If you have had no prior problems with the system you currently have, then I'd probably just hang on to that one. Otherwise, if you have the money to blow and you want it bad enough, go ahead and get that shiny new 360 S.

I was strongly considering trading my launch Wii in and getting a black Wii with Wii Sports resort. And then I remembered that you can't transfer virtual console titles. So nevermind. Stupid Nintendo won't take my money.

I traded in MVC3, Sly Cooper Collection, and Halo: Reach yesterday using the 50% coupon from PUR. Like everyone has been stating in recent post that it doesn't scan, the manager knew what to do and had to override the system. So I got $81 in credit! Now is it safe to return Mortal Kombat at a different store location and get all the credit back to my card?

When I returned my copy of Mortal Kombat, the system would not allow the return to put the credit back on my card. The GS employee wasn't sure what to do, so another guy came over and overrode it to put it on a separate gift card. That's likely what will happen when you return it.
