Agreed, .

Apparently, the Trade in system is down?

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I got banned.
I tried sticking to the 3x game, per console route but alas if they really have a 50 Game limit then I cross that threshold awhile ago.

Is there a 50 game limit? I also have crossed that point a long long time ago.

The Irvine store gave me the same business about the thumbprint machine being down. Told me to go to another store. Amateur hour.

That was a rumor awhile back but never confirmed.
They also said they changed the 3 game per console limit to 1...but I dunno it depends on when they do their mass bans I guess?

Yeah. Especially if they happen to go to the 3x limit on everything like some of us were before. It's not so bad if you space it out over multiple trades, but coming in with 3 of everything and not even trying to make an excuse for it is not the way to fly under the radar.

As for the 3 per title per console limit, according to Mariel at the BB forums it IS still 3 per title per console. But according to the store closest to me, it's down to 1 per title per console now.

So the best advice I have is to ASK the reps in store regarding their limit for that specific store.

well, it is not really bad for them anyway. by abusing the system, they are made their profit, so in a way, it is still a win a win for them

So let me get this straight, if you're an Unlocked Member, you get twice the trade-in value, plus twice the total value!?

Because I just went in, expected A LOT less than what I got. example...

Uncharted 3
Trade-in Value = $10
100% promotion = $10
2x Promotion = $20
10% Unlocked = $1
...ended up selling UC3 for $41! Was this a glitch? Cause I plan on going back and selling another 20 games

That definitely didn't happen for me when I went in with five games this afternoon.

I'm not sure what happened. I asked if they could read me the values first, they scanned each one, then when they did the trade-in they rescanned them...but on the receipt, I see no mention of 2 games being scanned.

What does it say for each game on your print out?

I looked up Lumines on the Vita at work and it said TIV was $16... wow really? I went into the store and the cashier was like hmm nope sorry it says $11 in our system, you must be looking at something else. I pulled it up on my phone and then had them pull it up on the web there. Sure enough, $16... but he said he couldn't adjust the TIV. He brought two manager/supervisor types over and i finally was like... hmm well since i'm planning on using this credit to buy a new game right now anyway, could you at least take $10 off the price of the game? They wanted to give me $22 but online said i would get $32. One of the managers said uhhh that's like a $4 difference compared to online, yeah we can do that. So the cashier gave me $5 off Arkham City GOTY and with $20 in rewards certificates i paid like $3 or $4 out of pocket.

Gonna add some stuff for the GS to BB people, later today. It will go with the B2G1 sale at GS.

If it doesn't show up, it's likely they won't take the trade in just for that. Is it the GC version, or the Wii version. The GC version sell for $40 online easy (I sold mine last night for that on Amazon used, so I'm getting the Wii version).

Has anyone been successful in getting un-banned? Have they updated their policies to reflect how long the ban would be?

Thanks Chun Li!

If you guys have a Frys near you they currently have Diablo III for $49.99 in store. Great time for a bestbuy pricematch.
