The only way it WON'T work is if they deny the trade in of your $2 game all together. They tried to scare me too, but I told them I still wanted to trade in my $2 games. They can't stop the computer from giving $35 on 7, even at $2 TIV.

I find that odd, I will still be calling and checking with those stores though as I don't think they would have sold a ton of them in a day.

Let us know what is going on when you figure it out. If I could get $50 back and buy it at the $50 reduced price, I might pick one up. I have a feeling the $50 GC offer was before the price drop.

Yeah as long as you take in 7 games only to be scanned at once, you WILL get the extra $35. This has been verified numerous times as the employees are only going by what is written but the system does it the old way so they would have to manually bump down stuff to not get the promo.

GS was thoughtful and just called to inform me Halo 4 had a limited edition.

Traded in my old 360 and fat ps3 an a wireless N adapter. Trade in price went up a dollar to $19 before any bonus on the adapter. Picked up a MW3 Slim ps3 bundle with my credit. So much quieter!!

Hmmm, then I think I'll have to try it Sunday if the Best Buy 100% bonus equates to a lesser deal for Skyrim. Trade in Skyrim + 6 $.99 sports games (should be worth ~ $.10-$.15 TiV each) for the Skyrim value plus $35 bonus, or take Skyrim to Best Buy for hopefully minimum $38 TiV...

Oh no, your other 6 games have to be at least $2 in TIV in order for the promo to go in effect.

The TIVs need to be at least $2 each.

Thanks guys. I'll have to check then and see if I can muster up another 6 games worth at least $2 TiV...

I called the gamestops that showed they had the Star Wars bundles in yesterday but not showing up today and they do still have them, just appears to be a computer glitch of some kind not showing them in stock online.

that is tempting lol i have no idea why that is tempting though. probably because i am just a giant freakin nerd????

though admittely its not worth the 134 in credit i have + 150 for trading my slim and paying the difference for it.

sure i would get a 50 dollar gift card + trading the HDD back in as i already a 320 GB one. making it under 100 out of pocket.
