http://www.gamerush....es_gamepass.php click this link to find out about gamepass at Gamerush.

You must have a credit card/check card to signup. Checkcard must be visa, mc, amex, dc, or diners club. You can also do it by getting a prepaid visa, mc, dc or amex card with at least $1 on it so it will clear the authorization and just pay for it each month (very tedious though). You can cancel at any time. Good on any rental game (gamecube, psp, nds, gba, xbox, ps2).

Also, the Trade 2 get a preorder deal ends on Nov. 21st

On November 22nd starts the 39.99 on new game deal

it works like this, NO TRADE REQUIRED, if the game is priced at $49.99 (EXCLUDES ANYTHING HIGHER THAN THIS ASWELL AS XBOX 360 GAMES) it gets discounted to 39.99

[nakanenui]

wow, all new games starting at 39.99 for this generation systems (if normally priced at 49.99 or lower) without having to trade games. not too bad but compared to 29.99 + trade in credit, this new deal is ho-hum. thanks for the info (listed in the new map?).

Yup in the new map, btw i didnt see anything about a Mario Kart DS Bundle but also if this a Prepackaged Bundle from Nintendo then it wouldnt be in there either if GameRush is putting it together in-store then it would have that info communicated in the Map. But if Nintendo is offering this that means all Game Stores should get it and it should be valued at the same price so i see EbGames is offering it for 149.99 and it ships on 11/28 so that info should accurate at GameRush aswell since we carry mostly similar prepacked prodcuts. http://www.ebgames.c...duct/259765.asp

Thanks for the info Nemesis35 I will update the OP but I needed some dates for the deal with the Gamecube and Gameboy Advance.

Hmm. Guess I better scour the lists of upcoming games to see if there is anything left to preorder.

While $10 off isn't bad for new releases, I don't expect I'll use it much unless another cash-cow tradein comes along. Just makes the credit go a little further. Bummer that the 360 isn't eligible, either. They'd have all my business for the $50 price point games.

Any word on a chain-wide Black Friday sale of any sort, Nemesis35?

Great deals on the Gamecube bundles - those are some good games they are giving away, not the usual Player's Choice fodder most stores give with GC's.

This new deal is very meh... Hopefully, once they see the preorders drop to nothing, they will bring back the $29.99 preorder deal. I'm going to make a few last preorders even though there's nothing left to get - I'll just double up on things like Zelda or FF XII and hope to change them later. Though that is always more difficult when they aren't running the $29.99 promo (because they will credit me $30 and then want to use the bar code to do the new one and it won't work - this happened in the summer when the deal went away for a few weeks).

Someone at the end of the last thread said Suikoden V wasn't in the system as of last week - on the contrary, both Nemesis and I reported that it WAS in the system as of last week. In fact, my store allowed me to switch Suikoden Tactics to Suikoden V.

Since we are running out of time, here is the list of items I keep checking for. I will be out of town all next week so I'd REALLY appreciate it if people could ask about these around mid-week. Then I can make a few last trades when I get back next weekend and hopefully preorder a few of these:

DS:
Children (or World) of Mana
Final Fantasy III
Xenosaga I & II
Mario Basketball 3 on 3
Contact
Katamari
Super Princess Peach

PSP
Tales of Eternia
Suikoden I & II
Tokobot (comes out Nov. 29 so it should be in there - I haven't checked this one)
Katamari
Magna Carta

GC
Baten Kaitos 2
Odama

PS2
Shadow Hearts From the New World

In particular, I'd like to get any of the PSP or DS RPG's preordered. I really don't have much trade fodder to use right now anyway, so I can only probably do 2 more. Though I do have a few double preorders that I can switch to some of these if they show up in the next 1 1/2 weeks. Plus I'll be in the DC area which is a MUCH better place to find trade fodder, so if some of these show up I can go pick up a few $5 games hopefully.

Well this means we can say good bye to GR's high trade in values.

[aoLat]

If GR ever loses their good trade in prices, they will die within 2 months. They don't have a large preowned section AND they don't get in their new releases in time, if ever.

I seriously doubt they will buy back a game for $30-$35 when they are selling it for $40.

[racthamp]

so is the trade 2 and preordering for $29.99 still on? i haven' been there for couple of week.. and if the $39.99 is true. .i wanna reserve the chibi robo game (didn't know about this one.. dang).. .is Odama also in the system yet?

Chibi-Robo yes, Odama no, though last time I checked on that one was about 4-5 days ago. Please ask about Odama if you go in, because it is one I would definitely preorder. The deal runs until Nov. 21st - basically through next weekend (and I am out of town and GR-less from Nov 13 - Nov 19).

[Matt Young]

Has anyone had any luck trading in 2 games and getting a recent release for $30 rather than a preorder?

Not since, like, May or June

[Zennousha]

Hah, of course I posted my question right at the end of the last thread.

I know io checked on the new Shadow Hearts being in the system and it wasn't but has anyone checked any other upcoming RPGs? I know Suikoden 5 isn't in there at least as of last week. Does anyone know if Wild Arms 4 or Grandia 3 are in the system?

Did anyone pre-order Magna Carta? I know they never got in DDS or any Atlus titles for that matter but I was hoping they cleaned up their act by now. And checking Gamespot they've announced a sequel to it for the 360 in 2007, wow.

[LinkinPrime]

Wow, I didnt know Katamari was going to be on DS. I've never played them before but since there's a lot of buzz going on with those games, DS might be the time I actually play it.

[shipwreck]

I seriously doubt they will buy back a game for $30-$35 when they are selling it for $40.

These are the same math wizards that give you $35 for a game they sell used for $45. But wait, they don't really sell it for $45, they sell it for 25% off of $45. This means that they are actually selling it for $33.75. That's right, they lose $1.25 for every game they give $35 in trade-in credit for and that's not even counting what they are paying employees to take in the trade and sell the game again. It's comical.

For the THIRD time , Suikoden V IS in the system - as of last weekend anyway.

I preordered it, it's worth a shot. I also preordered it at EB games where I'll actually be able to pick it up the day it comes out. Then if by some miracle gamerush get's it in I'll just return the unopened copy i get there to EB.

[jaffray]

Does this mean we are allowed to preorder XBOX 360 games with this deal? Help Me Out~!!

[aoLat]

Can you still preorder Dragon Quest VIII: JotCK for PS2? I played the demo and liked it, and I really need an RPG right now. When does Suikoden V come out?

[buster90]

Gamerush really PO me today I went to get my copy of Matrix Path to Neo and they still did not get it in!!!!!!!!! THey said we have copies to rent but your purchased copy along with 3 other people who preowered are not in yet. I am so pissed off now....damn!!!!!!!!

[Zennousha]

Oh, sorry. I browsed the last thread from where I thought I left off and missed it plus I tend to not read the first post for some reason. Oops :( Glad I took Trapt back so I can preorder it. Thanks!

Is the US getting Suikoden I/II for PSP for sure?

[aoLat]

Trapt sounds pretty cool. Might get it if it's $30 somewhere.

[Hades79]

Anyone get Matrix: PON yet? They only had rental copies when I called last. But I have the LE pre-ordered so I wonder if they are not going to call me based on that.

[ksuwild25]

Did anyone see Fatal Frame 3 at any of their Gamerushes?

[dinovelvet]

Who knows? I haven't tried to pick mine up yet. I also preordered the Limited Edition which of course has been cancelled, I remember the regular ed and the limited ed were two different part numbers, so I think its a big YMMV here as to whether they'll let you get the regular one or just give you $30 credit back or whatever. I'll report on my findings tomorrow
