Best Buy Gaming
Do you ever dream to live in a world where you can pay for 2 pre-owned games, and get the third free?... Well my friends, that day is here. Starting Thursday and running through Saturday we're offering a buy any 2 pre-owned games, and get a 3rd of your choice free!

This is good on .com or in store. Free shipping on .com orders.

Now to find some decently priced games.

YEEEEEAAAA-used lolwut?
Time to find some good prices.

Just a heads up, the prices online are always the correct ones. Have seen it a bunch of times where the prices in store show higher but when you actually buy them, they ring up at the price shown on .com (or on your phone if you have a smartphone).

So that coupon they sent out is pretty redundant eh?

10% off with the GCU membership makes this even better.

Well the coupon has been good for a couple of weeks already and will be good for another month after this sale. Not exactly redundant.

This wasn't stacking with the current Buy 2 or more get 20% off used games.

Some of the decent titles have better pricing than GS but the issue is availability.

Knowing bb's history with these sorts of things, I wonder what mysterious thing would happen if you scanned that coupon during this promotion? extra free game? charge for four games? register flames?

I've never found a decent used game at my local BB, sadly.

Well, technically that world is here for a few days, then it's not here anymore.

Ive noticed BB's used game pricing doesnt update accordingly to their respective new game prices when they go on sale similar to GS. So basically anybody hoping to find a used batman arkham city for $25 this weekend should be prepared to be disappointed.

Do used games at Best Buy have their cases and manuals? Thanks!

I wonder if I can abuse this and get 3 copies of DA:O for $7.98 total...
1 = 4.99 2 = 7.98 + 1 free...

Based in past BBY threads, it seems to vary. It's based on if they require artwork and manuals with their trade ins. In my area, they all require artwork and manuals so I'd be pretty confident that they do. YMMV for your area.

Sorry, but this is incorrect. All Best Buy's are supposed to accept game trades without art and manuals, it's actually corporate policy but some stores simply don't abide by it. That said, the game's in your store may have not been traded in anywhere near your local area. Trade-ins are sent to a wharehouse, processed, and then shipped to stores based largely on their business, space and trade-in numbers (bigger, busier stores get more).

Short version: you may or may not get a game without a manual. Good news is that you can trade it back to BBY without a manual if need be (at least you are supposed to).

yeah it's completely random. i got a ninja gaiden 2 used with nothing but the disk, but i walk in my store and it's complete. i might be a jerk and switch it out and return it. idk

Thanks guys, I'll probably avoid online then, but may check into the local store and see what's available

Budz, where are you getting this from? There have been at least 2 different "corporate policy" stances on this issue. Also, given that managers run things however the hell they want, they can also elect to refuse a trade for not being complete regardless of what anyone tells them is "corporate policy".

Having noted that, you are definitely correct in stating that completeness is hit or miss given that different stores operate pursuant to different policies on accepting trades based on completeness.
