if you click the More Info button on the featured deal (the first promo) it says that it's towards the purchase of a pre-owned product.

Oh...

Looks like a few more copies of Link's Crossbow Training might be sold next weekend!

This would be worse if you did not have PUR or your traded on Wed when it got ($20.40) Buy 3 AC:Rev for $9.99 x 3 = $29.97 + tax (for me it equals $31.50). Trade to GS for $64.50 credit and pay off game tax free $59.99 leaving $4.51 in credit left. True cost in BBY credit = $29.30. Cost of staying with BBY = $59.99 + tax ($63.05 for me) minus $20 RZ cert. True cost $39.99 + tax since RZ certs will not be taxed when used. ($42.03 for me) I guess this part is more complicated than that since you have to buy something again to take advantage of the rebate. Now at this point it was better to buy from GS by flipping. If you get a price match better than $48 it makes BBY better. For a Silver member this is very likely. I think my math is right but I am tired from moving my parent today. Anyone let me know what I screwed up or omitted.

You could have used any of these games as filler to get the 10 code for over 50 online pickup

Price is right
2k12 pack (Dotd)
AC rev
Sims 3 pets (for some reason you could pick 3 of the PS3 version but only 1 copy of the other games included in the summer blowout)

Any of the above would have gotten near/over 100% profit from BB to GS just for online ordering/pickup/GS line waiting.

what happen if you return the pre-owned game after a couple of days, do you still get the credit?

I have a couple games i want to try it out from GS, but most likely they suck and will return them!!

Yeah I forgot about the 10/50 deal at BBY to sweeten the pot.

Going to unload my MLB 2k12 from last week today. Just can't get into the game. I'll let everyone know if the price held if nobody beats me to it.

^^^ It held yesterday. I think it will drop before the 50% starts though.

That's my guess also. That's why I'm going to go ahead and trade it. Shame because I really wanted to like it.

Some quotes from today (7/30)

Sims 3: Pets (3DS) - $5
Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS) - $15

Couple values held today for 360.
AC Rev 15
MLB 2k12 21.
I was going to use my credit for MLB the Show 12 but the "rumored" b2g1 made me wait. I did get Halo 3 for 8 bucks to get the promo. I've never played Halo this gen of consoles so I figured I would give it a shot.

Buy it on Wed or thursday...used sports games will be 50% off

Wow really!? In for sure.maybe a Fifa too. Thanks for the heads up.

On a game like Super Mario 3D land, would you think its best to trade in now with the $5 bonus, or wait till the 50% (60% with PUR) comes later this week and risk the trade in value dropping with it?

Does anyone know the trade value of Pilotwings and Steel Diver? would like to trade it in since it was $5 at Bestbuy. Could maybe turn this into $10 at gamestop with that +5$ trade it credit deal today.

I would wait until later in the week. I passed on trading Kid Icarus today and am confident the TIV wll stay the same. I would antipicate that Mario 3D Land will hold steady for the time being (at least until Mario 3D land 2 comes out).

L4D2 $17
Halo Reach $17


Pilotwings Resort $4.20
