Okay, does anyone know of some 9.99 game at TRU that gets more than a buck at GR? I'm getting two 9.99 games there tomorrow, hence a third free, not sure if I should get something crappy like Intellivision Lives that I'll keep, or something crappy that gets me a few bucks at GR.

Also, in regards to our discussion of buying out rentals... is it possible to get the 25% off preowned games discount on those? Cause $8 off plus 25% would be awfully nice in some cases. I may just have to ask next week when I get my new coupons.

my gamerush isn't answering the phone.... does anyone know if the ps2 version of powerdrome goes for $12?

Which version of Dead to Rights II is getting $27? Is it both PS2 and xbox?

XBox that I know of. I never had any reason to ask about the PS2 version. Might be worth looking into though.

PS2 version gets $20, and at my GR Xbox version gets $30. Yay!

Is there anyway to get the GGC from best buy anymore? I know they upped the price to 30 bucks now instead of 20 and i want to snag dead to rightes 2 on xbox for 15

They are still some GGC's sitting around certain Best Buy's. My local 2 don't have any but the one by my brother's college has loads. I go there to stock up on them, and double my money with Dead to Rights 2.

Originally Posted by botticus FYI, they should give you the case and manual for it if you ask (assuming they have it). I might try that for Jedi Outcast which is apparently good and hard to find? Either way, I believe I stated earlier that some plans like that don't work out. i.e. $42 to buy out Starfox Assault. Riiiight.

I got Jedi Outcast for GC that way - I asked 3 employees about it (and also mentioned it here) before I did it. They were perfectly fine about it. In fact, when I rented it, the receipt said "Buy this game for only $17.99 more" or something to that effect - so it really isn't deceitful at all since it seems like they encourage it! They did have 2 copies, so it was no biggie to take one of them. They did NOT, however, have the manual in either copy, but I did go back later when I paid for it to get the case with insert (I promptly switched the trashed case out for one from a new GC game that I was trading in later ).

It is a little wierd because they called AND I got a letter from BB corporate telling me the game was overdue. The BB corporate letter gave me a start (though I got it before the "letter" thread on CAG was posted - but I was still thinking it might be a trading related thing). And of course, every time I went in to trade or buy games, they would remind me it was due - for like 3-4 weeks until I finally insisted they just charge me for the damn thing - it did NOT happen automatically.

My experience was a little different:
I get a phone call from the automated system just saying I have something overdue. I then get a postcard that is a statement telling me how much I owe. I went in the store and they didn't have it on the computer, and 5 days later it shows up on my credit card's unbilled activity.

Well, I just was able to cancel a few more pr-orders at GAmeRush and pre-order two more 360 games (for the difference of course)

has everyone with built up credit start splurging on xbox 360 stuff? i am desperately trying to decide if i want to buy now or wait for the first price drop. here is hoping for some of the new ds bundles later this year, and cool colors too. is there a list of included items for the GR xbox bundle?

GameRush doesn't have any Xbox 360 bundles as of yet, but some stores will let you preorder Xbox 360 games, (like mine) but I'm not getting a 360 at launch, so :'(

I wouldn't say splurge...but I did pay for a 360, extra wireless controller, recharging pack, Call of Duty 2 and Oblivian. Will have about $250 left in credit by the end of the month. I wanted to get a 2nd 360 preordered but they weren't getting any more than the first 10.

I am waiting on the "official" gamerush price drop of Kameo and PDZ before I get those.

Well, I'm using all/most of my credit on 360 stuff. I have the system plus 6 games pre-ordered. I also have a few XBOX and PSP games pre-ordered also. I think 11 total.

My credit will be about gone by then, but I have a few more XBOX games to trade in....not a big deal, I'm glad I got my 360 with all my credit.

I want a 360 so bad. :'(

Wait, if you get $27 for Dead to Rights II at Gamerush, where is it that you can buy it cheapest? I'd like to get in on this deal.

Also, how much would I get by trading in my Nintendogs? It's getting kinda old, and I'd much rather have Castlevania.

It's $26.99 at EBgames used (before coupons)

It's $20 at Best Buy making it $15 after GGC. YAY!

For XBOX 360, I have these on paid off:

Kameo
Oblivion
Call of Duty 2
Gears of War
Perfect Dark 0:CE (At GameStop)
Play and Charge kit
$100 on XBOX 360 (I have 1 paid off at GS. If I can get in the first shipment at GS, I'll cancel this)

I still have 2 XBOX games and 1 GC game left on preorder, and once I cancel my XBOX 360 preorder, I should still have around $500 left in credit, however, I am going to spend most of my credit once GR gets Splinter Cell 4, Too Human, Resident Evil 5, Mass Effect, Huxley, Halo 3, Alan Wake, Unreal Tournament 2007, Battlefield:MC, and Prey in the system.

Traded in

Warioware: Touched - $15
Yoshi's Touch & Go : $11
Nintendogs: $11
Twisted Metal PSP: $22

Kind of pissed that the Nintendogs credit wasn't a little more, but oh well. I wanted to pick up Castlevania, but they only had it for rent, WTF?
