UPDATE 4/11/05: As some of you may know... this deal advertised as "3 Trades for 1 PSP Game" is over as of 4/10. However, EBGames.com indicates that the deal is still fresh until the 15th, but you must trade in 6 for 2 games in one transaction in order for it to work.
Under In-Store Promotions, EBGames.com reads:
"Free select PSP title with PS2/XB/GC game trade-in (pre-purchase) Active: Now - 4/15/2005
Trade-in 6 qualifying pre-played PS2/XB/GC games and receive $79.98 towards the pre-purchase of 2 of the following titles: GRETZKY NHL HOCKEY PSP or TWISTED METAL: HEAD ON PSP or WORLD TOUR SOCCER PSP or ATV OFFRD FURY BLAZIN TRLS PSP or APE ESCAPE PSP or NBA PSP or WIPEOUT PURE PSP or MLB PSP. Game boxes and instructions are required. Some titles are excluded from trade. May be combined with other EB Promotions. Typographical errors are not the responsibility of EB Games. Not valid on hardware. See sales associate for complete details. Customer may be responsible for sales tax."
Some stores may or may not honor this promo, and some stores may still let you only trade in 3 for 1. Regardless, we'll keep this thread stickied until the 16th, then officially kill it 14 days after the 15th, for all you guys trying to exchange your items obtained on the 15th. In any case, the trade-in deal is YMMV, and exchanging the PSP games is even more YMMV.
Good luck to all of you on the final days of what is sure to be the most memorable, and profitable, trade-in deal of 2005!

Here's the scoop.
EBGames In Store is having an in-store promotion on the preorder/purchase of PSP games that could potentially make your initial launch library damn near free.
Here's the deal......
With this deal, gamers need only trade in THREE games not on THIS LIST to receive one of the EIGHT games shown above.
For those of you who can put two and two together, understand that when you get the game from EB it bumps the value of each game that might be normally traded in for 50 cents, up to a third of the price of any of those 39.99 games.
Then, with your sealed game in hand, and receipt (or better, gift receipt) for said game, you are not prohibited from later exchanging it for store credit for the full $40 value of the game.
In essence, the deal isn't "just for those 8 PSP games" because you can still exchange any one of them within 14 days of purchase for full credit.
Better yet... get your credit back on a gift card (make sure it has scratch off pin numbers) and use it online.
Above deal ends April 10th.
Sound easy?
Good.
NOTE: Though this isnt a YMMV deal, the clerks all over don't seem to be too refreshed on it... so make sure you're cool with the employees enough to share some patience until they work it out in the computer.[/QUOTE]

ed up story about my EB encounter tonight. So i go into my local EB (which happens to be the EB that i traded in 6 Outlaw Golfs a couple nights ago for Wipeout and Twisted Metal) to return 3 games that I got from EB.com with all three recipts for store credit towards my psp. I'm standing there in line at the counter and he stops helping this family and yells and points to me "What do you want!" I stepped up and said "returning these games" and handed him the games and receipts. He must have thought he caught me but looked at them quickly and said "wait till I'm done". When the family is done and i get to the counter he takes the games and starts to look all crazed and says "I'm not returning these" and shoves them back to me. I was like whhaaa. He then starts screaming at me that I scammed him the other night and his manager is pissed cause now they are stuck with 6 "worthless" games that they can't sell. I was like hold up a minute I didn't scam you I exploited a hole in your Corporate trade in policy and it was a legitmate trade. He was like you can talk to my manager when he gets here in 20 min. He laughed a little and I know he was thinking this manager wouldn't let me return my eb.com games and probably give me a hard time. We argued for a while at rather loud volumes while others in the store prob had a good show. I was soooo
