$20 for Portal 2? $25 for Sly Cooper collection? $15 for Bully? The FIRST Assassin's Creed on PS3 is getting $15?! What year is this?!

Proof since some people doubt what I say :)cry:)

Is the TIV of Lollipop Chainsaw for PS3 $20? Cause all I see is the 360 version for $20 and I wanna get rid of my PS3 copy
 
[quote name='shadowkast']Traded in 7 games for $178.xx. Did receive pur bonuses. I'll rebuy the ones I want with my b2g1 coupon possibly[/QUOTE]

You're talking the 10% on base TIV, right?

I'm thinking of trading God of War Saga, Sly Cooper, Dead Island and Silent Hill HD Collection. I've already beat GOW 1-3 (and I get origins for free basically), and got the latter 3 for 10 on BF. My backlog is so huge that I'd rather have the credit and I think this should net me $85 base whereas I paid 50 base for them collectively.
 
[quote name='Royal High Knight']I dont know what to do with my current copy of Sly that I got for $10 from BF. If I keep it I wont get to it for awhile with me playing 2k13, BO 2, and Sleeping Dogs. fuck !!!!! Help a brother out fellow cags[/QUOTE]
trade it. the sly games start to get boring after a while.
 
[quote name='uiengineer']trade it. the sly games start to get boring after a while.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I feel like ill play the first and wont touch the second for quite some time. You know what? I will trade it in, newegg still has the game for $16. I still make a net profit of $9 and ill still have a copy. Thanks
 
wish i would have got forza for $15 for dead island goty for $8, would have been great to flip both for 30/20 respectively. oh wellz

Trade it. This type of trade deal brings out the worst in my game collecting addiction. I am looking at over 100 games on my shelf and having a "Come to Jesus" moment over 5-6 games? Take the credit (especially if you are getting 2x what you paid) and eventually you will get back to it. I have so many games to play there is no reason to hold onto some of these.
 
Thanks OP. Traded in Sly/Alice/Lego Star Wars for $60 credit and picked up 3 $20 PSN cards. Also immediately rebought Sly from Amazon Warehouse for $15.67 because I really liked the 1st one and hadn't gotten to #2 and#3. I'll re-buy Alice at some point and actually play it, but $20 for it at this point is just too good to pass up.

Was also going to trade in FIFA 13 and pick up FIFA 12 from Gamefly for $9.99, but FIFA 13 is still going for at least $35 after shipping/fees on Amazon, so I just posted it there and will take the cash over GS credit.
 
I got Kinect Sports ultimate for $15 on BF, but for $30 i can't turn that down. I don't use the kinect ever anyways. Same deal with $25 for Sly Collection.

I got black ops 2 on WiiU from TRU B2G1 half off a few days ago but the connections are so shitty because there's all of 1,000 people playing online in the whole world that i'll probably let that go for $40 too.

I'll probably just pay off Devil May Cry for january.

Yes, 10% off base
 
[quote name='uiengineer']i feel your pain.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='edallasplanet']My dilemma actually haha[/QUOTE]

I just opened them up and it made trading them in even harder...that new game smell and look. Thinking of getting these later all broken and dirty makes me want to keep them. :drool:

Had this same moment. I overcame it and traded in 20 games for $411.60. They were all backlogged and/or stuff I didn't see myself revisiting in the next 6-12months, except for some BF purchases and Sears/Kmart/Target clearance purchases that I hadn't even had the chance to open.

Used my $411.60 for a WiiU Deluxe and WiiMote/Nunchuck & NSMBU. I'm hoping it's not a mistake and I get more use out of it than my original wii did back at launch. At the very least this will end up being the console that my son grows up with so I'll take that over some cases collecting dust and just keep my eyes peeled to rebuy the games I really wanted for my collection going forward (it's not like there's a ton of wiiU games and/or new releases for PS3/360 that have my excited save Bioshock and Aliens).

Enjoy this promo and trade in as soon as you can, I remember over summer when they had this with the trade two for $40 promo going and a lot of the games tanked after 3-4 days.

I'm terribly bad with my backlog too, but I've started not buying any game until it hits the $10-$12 range and it's helped a little bit with my backlog, but even moreso with my regret on spending too much on games. I don't think I've had a "regretful" purchase in a long time. I also refuse to buy anything digital unless it's discounted by at least 50%
 
Heh, I was finishing Lollipop Chainsaw in hopes that Best Buy would have the 100% bonus again soon. Guess it and a few other games are going to Gamestop instead.
 
this is insane lol

not sure if mentioned but Alice is 7.50 at blockbuster ymmv

Borderlands I just beat yesterday and I love it to death but I paid $25 for it and for $30 credit I can survive off my backlog until the GOTY edition.

Batman and GoW Saga I paid less for on BF also haha

Im about to clean San Antonio blockbusters out, just an heads up...of Alice at least.
 
[quote name='cancerman1120']how sad is it that 5 of the 7 games I am trading are still sealed?[/QUOTE]

Do you take the plastic off when you trade it in? I do. Makes me seem like less of a crazy person, in my head.
 
Just traded:
-Kinect Sports Ultimate - 31.40 (after promos)
-Halo 4 ------------------ 32.00 (after promos)

Got a sealed copy of Far Cry 3 with 3.41 left over

Yeah I just unwrapped them. I am not even sure they will take a wrapped game.

Gamestop won't accept them if they are still sealed
 
Man, My back-log is so big due to BF that i might go ahead and trade Sly in. More than double what i paid for it, that's crazy.
 
:booty:[quote name='AznDragon89']would this work if i use the 50% more bonus coupon? so if i trade dead island and ac3 for 82 dollars in store credit?[/QUOTE]

For the 10th time, no.
 
[quote name='AznDragon89']would this work if i use the 50% more bonus coupon? so if i trade dead island and ac3 for 82 dollars in store credit?[/QUOTE]

promos don't stack, so the only way that would work is if you got an employee to override it somehow
 
[quote name='Bleedingwickedly']Was going to do some trade ins today anyways. Most of the games are in the list. Wonder if my GameStop has any WiiUs in store?[/QUOTE]

The store I was at received another shipment today and they are in Stock for direct shipping to your house if they are oos locally.

Man I still can't get over this. I may actually take a ride and see if I can't find some of those Alices at bbv. My best buys don't have anything else worth moving credit for some more wiiu games.
 
[quote name='Marauder7']Am I reading this correctly that Assassin Creed is going for 15?[/QUOTE]

I know !! I only wish this was also for Xbox 360 instead of just for PS3. :cry:
 
Traded in 6 games that I either got as gifts or less than msrp ($10 sly cooper for example) for a whopping $131 credit (decided to add on the pro membership, so minus that but plus 10%). Sweet deal.

Now what do I buy? :( maybe Ill wait for nextgen like everyone else or for the next big Rpg. Ah well.
 
Is there a limit on how many you can trade? or would you suggest go to 2 stores?, i bought 2 forza horizons , well for 35$ i can wait to play, and can get another gift..
 
I read through that whole list and the only freaking game I have is oddly enough...

The amazing spiderman on 3DS.

Just got it Tuesday from target on clearance foe 12.50.

Ni No Kuni. Pay it off, sell the steelbook in February if you want
 
The idea of finally picking up a PS3 has been fluttering in my mind since Black friday. Picked up a new 360 instead so I might use this promo to get a used console for some God of War and infamous :D
 
Hell I paid $30 for :360: Alice like 18 months ago when it was a few months old and never finished it. With the Complete Collection dropping on PC (including the original Alice game and DLC), I'll just wait for a cheap sale on that and dump this copy. That plus Sly, Forza, and maybe a couple others. Lego Star Wars Complete is $15 brand new on Amazon right now, for crying out loud, and I've got a lot of Lego games to play.
 
Definitely about to go to work (Kmart) and buy all of our copies of Portal 2, use a $15 coupon, and then flip them for over double.
 
Traded AC3, UMVC3, WWE 13 and UFC Undisputed 3.

I watched a guy spend basically the exact same amount I got on Little Big Planet Karting and Lego Batman 2 alone and almost cried.
 
I was thinking of trading in my copy of Hitman Blood Money since I got a free Steam copy for preordering Absolution at GS. Then I saw that a used copy is fetching about $40 on Amazon. I think I'll wait to sell it there. So anyone that also sells on Amazon or wherever, make sure you double check sell values before trading in. You might get a better deal.
 
I have about 2 or 3 games on that list and are sealed except for Dead Island goty which I just opened and started playing LAST NIGHT. I am already hooked on it, but $20... could trade that, RDRGOTY, and UMVC3 towards Far Cry 3. Backlog is large and and Far Cry 3 looks HUGE with the crafting and all. My wife has shown interest in playing it as well.

I really want to keep and play RDRGOTY but not sure if it will hit sub $30 anytime soon.
 
So I buy GoW Collection for $20. I download The Origins collection. I get 30 days free PS+. And I can trade it back into Gamestop for $22? Genius!
 
[quote name='Crunkking01']Definitely about to go to work (Kmart) and buy all of our copies of Portal 2, use a $15 coupon, and then flip them for over double.[/QUOTE]

Is this an instore price only? Online I still see it for $19.99. And I thought you could only trade in one of the same game at the same Gamestop?

Blood Money is a kind of rare-ish game. Or at least not common. You know something is up when GS sells a 6 year old game for $30 and is running trade in credit promos for it.

I regret never buying it back in the day (borrowed a friends to play it)
