FYI: If the post by kangchousa turns out to be legit, Silent Hill Downpour is gonna be $19.99 NEW next week sometime at BB.

Hmm, traded in some games today, left one in the car, went back later and they said I was banned. Not sure what that was about. They just said there was a red flag. Gotta figure out what the deal is. I've basically been trading in old games I never touched or was keeping around for no real reason. Nothing I've traded in has been flipped or even duplicated. Perhaps they only allow you to trade in 1 time a day or something.

anyone been able to figure out any other flips other than that first list with pop,front mission and etc.? i still have around $30 credit at gamestop id like to move.

I know everybody is going crazy over this promo, but I'm taking mine to gamestop. The extra $5 per game for trading in 7 actually puts GS TIV a buck or two higher on many "older " games

Got 148 for 9 games.

Noteworthy:
Paid 6.50 for majin and got 11. Sadly I would have gotten a few bucks more this morning. Price just dropped

Paid $8 for toy story 3 and got 10

Paid 10 for child of Eden and got 16

Paid 26 for ace combat during the target b1g1 snafu and got 21 for it. So 5 bucks for 25 hours of play, win in my book.

So I just totaled up the games I'm considering trading, comes out to $196 after bonus. Really tempted to dump them all

Here's a link to the thread: http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Best-Bu...uy/td-p/527468 And the response quoted:

if this is the case there's no reason for me being banned.

Officially give up on Best Buy game trade ins took in a game but only had the disc the guy working the trade ins counter looked at me like I was stupid and said you need the case artwork and manual and even tried to tell me the online code had to be unused. Then today attempted to go trade a game in should of got me $20 after the 100% trade in credit they said they can only offer $1 I just turned around and left.

Traded in a game today.
The BB employee told me that this trade in deal will last the rest of June.
"All games, all month."

The employee I talked to said it was extended til next Saturday. Let's hope you're right

So, If I give my unlocked phone number to my brother, will they give him grief if he trades in for me? or do i need to be there too?

An employee at mine said the same.

I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad experience.

I had an unrelated bad experience (the registers weren't counting my 10% bonus) so I made a small purchase, filled out the online survey with all negative scores, and immediately got an email from the store manager. Through emailing with him, I was able to get the situation resolved. If you were to do the same, it would be an easy way to make that employee have consequences.

You could've always just pointed out the extra 10% not being added and had them correct the situation right then and there instead of going through all the hassle you did.

I picked up MW3 w/ coupon, Dragon Age 2 w/ coupon, and Resistance 3 w/ coupon the other day. It was the first time this "gaming specialist" had seen someone use a coupon from the @Gamer mag. Needless to say, he messed up the transaction somehow but 10 minutes later and after having a manager over to assist, the guy got it right and I walked out with all of my games at the correct discounted prices.

He better get used to seeing those coupons because I plan on using them every month, regardless of what game it is cuz I'll just sell it online if the price is right.

Does Best Buy still sell Visa Gift Cards? I can't find them anywhere unless they were moved to a different section of a store.

YMMV, not every store stocks them.

So many of my games are worth less than $4 that it doesn't even seen worth it. May as well hold onto 'em.

The handful of games that are worth anything I'd like to keep. In fact, Alice: Madness Returns is worth $16 with the 100% promo. Considering I paid $12 for it form Gamefly I'd actually be making money on that deal.

Alas, I really liked the game and I was planning on keeping it.

Ugh. I'm torn between butchering my beloved collection and getting a nice chunk of BB credit. I never trade in games.

I've got PS+, and Ratchet: A4O and LBP2 are worth $10. A combined $42 after the extra 110% is just too damn good to pass up when I still have digital copies. Hell, that alone almost covers my next PS+ renewal.

I'm getting rid of a few old stinkers for $10.50 each. Plus a few games I haven't bought, never touched and won't be taking a loss on.

It's driving me nuts trying to decide what to keep and what to sell when it comes to games I actually like. LBP1, Infamous 1 + 2, and Just Cause 2. That's $44 for games I'll never touch again and have digital copies of. Damn you BB and your amazing deal!

EDIT

I think I'm going to take the plunge. Eleven games, seven of which I have digital copies off, and four I don't want. $149.10 after bonus and Unlocked.

I hate giving them up, but that practically pays for ten new games from GameFly to replace them. Can't really say no to that.
