NOTE: INFORMATION ON NEXT PROMOTION (thanks speedrunner17)
[quote name='speedrunner17']Just got back from GS and the tiered trade is next! I picked up a booklet off the Desk with RE5 on the cover. On the last page it showed trade in any next gen system, psp, or ds and receive an extra $25. Below that was the tiered trade and it is a little different. Trade 2 and get 10%, trade 4 and get 20%, and trade 6 and get 40%. They both end on 4/5/09. That's what this brochure says. I guess they'll start on Monday.[/quote]

Will update with official GameStop.com information once they update their site.

NOTE: GAMESTOP USED GAME PRODUCT ID (thanks Xfactor4)

Handhelds and older systems... These SHOULD be eligible for the tiered trade deal. Xbox trade-in values are no longer on this page as they are no longer accepted at GameStop as of 2/9/09.

Could be good. I wish they'd drop the TIV restriction to $1.00 or $.50 if they're only giving you $3.33 extra for each one.

that $2.00 TIV limit probably is their new way of doing an "exclusion list" like they used to in the old PS2/Xbox/GC days.

Why didn't this work when I tried it this morning?

I ended up trading the stuff in towards the Street Fighter IV game to get the benefit of the 30% (with edge), but this deal did not work.

Dragon: I dont think you can combine offers. They may have screwed you, or maybe the 20% bonus was better, so the computer gave that one automatically.

Too bad this isnt 15$ for three...

Here's a version of the list with all $2 and under titles removed. Mostly useful for 360 games since a lot of those are cheap. I'd also be wary of any launch titles or games that get between $2 and $3 since they can easily drop those to $2 to exclude them from the bonus.

Click thine button for yon truncated list.

A question I asked in the old thread:

I'm asking it here since this thread will get more traffic than another.


Does Gamestop charge tax when using EDGE credit online?

i believe it is specific to your state.

I know that Michigan does charge tax for store credit (apparently?) and Wisconsin does not.

Hmm, that's very strange. I have a receipt in hand that clearly shows I traded in 3 games (all next gen), and all above the $2.00 minimum. The only benefit I got in one of the two cases was the Edge card (10%).

I did a second trade-in, when it failed to work again, I just opted to do the credit towards SF IV. Maybe it didn't activate in the system, until noon (EST)?

dang $10 instead of $15 for 3 games makes me have to rethink this a bit. I guess it's still obviously worth it for cheap games, but for a $25 credit game the $3.33 bonus is only 13%. i guess january is "get rid of all your cheap games" month at gamestop...

Yeah, I live in a state where tax isn't charged on items paid with tax.

Thanks for the replies

Dang, I only have two Wii games to trade in right now. Guess I need to find an extra one somewhere for cheap.

Just did a phone call verification here in ATL and the employee confirmed the deal as being 3 Wii, PS3, or 360 games for an additional $10.
However he also claimed that the minimum was $1 not $2. I'll be leaving shortly to check it out and report what I find out.

If it's $1 minimum, that could make a difference to some of us.

Okay, after I screwed everything up, Linkin helped straighten things out. Everyone say Thank You to LP. And thanks again to jp! You did a great job with the last thread, I'm so glad you're willing to keep this one going strong, too. =)

Does this mean that the +$5 for every Wii game is now over? I thought that ran until Thursday? Or is it still in effect? Obviously $5 for every Wii game is a lot better then $10 for every 3 Wii games.

Hmm, definitely disappointed that this turned out to be only a $10 bonus instead of the rumored $15 bonus. Guess it was just a rumor though and not confirmed until today so probably shouldn't have got my hopes up. That said, if they are including $1 games in this promotion that helps things a bit. I'll still be able to build up some credit for RE5 and Halo Wars. Hopefully some of the better TIVs hold as well.

Wasn't it "2 for $10" a few months ago?

Yep. GS is starting to nickel and dime us at every turn, now.

Guys, as far as the TIV minimum goes, if $1 was indeed quoted by a GS employee, I wouldn't get my hopes up on some games, such as PDZ or All Pro Football. Usually, the games need to have a TIV of higher than $1, not a minimum of $1, so such titles would not apply. They might have decided to loosen the restrictions, considering the deal is not as good as before, but just keep this in mind.

Don't forget to add that GS has CREDIBLE and RELIABLE customer service as well.

Seconded! :applause: to JP for keeping the thread updated and to everyone for posting updated TIVs!

Also :applause: to io for starting the list way back when the Wiki page died.

I can't take credit for this, io started it and I just picked up from there. I couldn't do any of this without CAGs posting their values. They are the ones that deserve the credit. I just type, nothing else.
