^ This! Rant: It happened to me today. I told the cashier to do the controllers and games separately since 50% will supersede the 30% power trade bonus on the controllers towards a new game. I stepped away for just a minute and he ended up doing them all together and exactly what I said happened. I pointed out to him that I did not get 30% on the controllers and he goes "it must not be part of the promo". I told him to look at the flier right in front of you that has it listed for accessories as well. The manager comes over now and pours through all the promos and declares it must not be the case. Tells me if I can bring an e-mail or flier saying so then they will adjust it for me. WTF, I am pointing to the flier sitting in front of you but apparently that is not good enough. I guess I need to take the print out of there website stating it so in the fine print. Sigh!
... and the rest:

Battlefield 3 $9
Prototype 2 $16

I wanted to only put down $5, which I did before with no problem even though the deal says it has to all be applied. Not that it's even that big of a deal as I'm going to cancel them anyways, but the way he acted was pretty over the top. GS: "Which gamestop did you preorder at? They're not allowed to do that they can get all kinds of fired for doing that!" Me: "well, the system does the 30% bonus whether its $5 or all. It doesn't matter really." GS: "Well, it all has to be applied, that's what it says!" Me: "Ok whatever, doesn't really matter to me." All this was in what I would describe as assistant manager tone. Then he went on a whole rant about me preordering at two different stores. "You do know you have to pick up the game at that store? Why would you do that!" Because I could care less where I preorder I'm going to cancel it next time I'm at the store anyways!!!!!! Just give me the damn receipt so I fcking leave. He also put a piece of tape far from the counter that said start line here. There was one person at the counter so he made me stand behind it which was about 8 feet from the register.

lol. i love cashiers like this

You should trade the MLB/NBA discs in seperately. I found the combo pack on clearance at Target for $20.98 earlier this week. I just wanted NBA 2K12 so I traded MLB to GS for $20.80 ($13.00 base + $6.50 bonus + $1.30 PUR).

I traded in the Episodes from Liberty City for $11 which surprised me too lol.

Hard to believe but yes it's true. I actually picked one up on Sunday for free when I bought Max Payne 3 at Target with the excellent promo they got going on right now. I paid $36 and some odd change (I used Target debit card which saves me 5%) after picking up the games and reserving Just Dance 4 for the kids for just a $1. On top of that I got a $10 Target gift card which I used right away for some other stuff I had to pick up anyways. After leaving Target I drove to gamestop and traded in GTA for $16 with their current promo and my PUR card. So at the end I essentially paid about $10 for Max Payne 3.
