$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:)

So torn on trading in some of my games. The Sly Collection is fetching a nice price, but if it's OOP, I want to keep it, especially since I collect all of the HD collections and I haven't even played the second and third games.

That and Assassin's Creed III. I've already beaten the game, but there's still some trophies I want to clean up and the multiplayer is surprisingly fun. I don't know what to do. I'm definitely trading in AC III: Liberation though. The game's not grabbing me and I'll just wait for a cheap retail copy later on. I have PS+ so I have plenty of games on the Vita to entertain me meanwhile.

along with a reprint. still in stock at amazon so i wouldnt be too concerned with availabitlity right now.

doesnt stack. computer automatically chooses best promo for your games tiv. only way to stack is to get a manual override like velo's accomplice. and that is almost impossible.

They already gave out Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus for plus members if I remember correctly so I can see this happening with the other 2.

[quote name='CaoPi']how long is the extra $10 for 3 games going on for?[/QUOTE]

isn't this supposed not to stack with any other promotion? my GS told me so
 
Since I'm indecisive, I'll let you guys decide whether or not I should trade these two games in:

The Sly Collection - It being OOP and me not having played the 2nd and 3rd games is holding me back.

Assassin's Creed III - Already played and beat it, but there are some leftover miscellaneous things to do and the multiplayer is fun every once in a while. I may just pick it back up later when it's inevitably cheaper.
 
I took Need For Speed Most Wanted (360) into a store today expecting $30 in trade-in credit, I was told it was only $17. Am I missing something?

trade both. the sly collection will get reprinted in the gh box most likley when sly 4 comes out and ass creed games drop in price rapidly as we all know

Good points and that's what I'm leaning towards doing.
 
[quote name='red_devil32']how about texas?[/QUOTE]

GS does not charge tax in Texas if you pay in full with GS credit.
Note: It must be trade-in credit.
 
[quote name='red_devil32']isn't this supposed not to stack with any other promotion? my GS told me so[/QUOTE]

It doesn't. I traded in Forza Horizon, Portal 2 along with 3 other games in a transaction. Scanning just Forza, Portal, and a random game doesn't give you the extra $10. Only when I gave them all 5 games did the $10 apply - evenly to the three cheap games

I am on the same boat...how about any opinions trading dead island since I haven't played yet?
 
^Looks like I'm going to order one from newegg as well.
I tried to stack the promo with Amazing Spiderman 3D for $15 with two other games over the $2 limit trade in value, but apparently I only got the $10 extra bonus.
I went in to the other GameStop store and traded in another Spiderman 3D for the $15 value with my friend's power up rewards card.

You can always buy it used from someone somewhere. I don't think the game is that rare. Plus if you're really jonesing to get it later, you can always buy it on PSN...I got luck and got the first two games for "free" from the PS+ membership.
 
Is the deadline 12/16? We still have two and half more days to finish the game and trade them in the last minutes when the GameStop closed on sunday?
 
Crap - just traded in Assassin's Creed Liberation with two other games, so it counted as a "3 games for bonus $10 deal" and therefore they only gave me $11 for it rather than $20 - had another game that I wanted to get rid of when I got home so I could have brought that and still gotten both deals...

(tl;dr - I missed out on a free 20 GameStop dollars)

now I feel sad and poor :cry:

AC III. Get rid of that junk while you can.

Get rid of it and play your other games, the game will get cheaper. I couldn't get into it myself as much as I wanted to like the game.

Take the credit and run. You'll be able to get $37 for ACIII and $26.10 for Sly, you'll never get that much for them again.

If you really have to have Sly Collection then you should still trade it in with ACIII. You will get $63.10 for them, I'd be willing to bet alot that GS is going to have a b2g1 sale the weekend before Christmas and you can get Sly back plus two $40 or less games (Hitman: Absolution, XCOM, Resident Evil 6, Killzone Trilogy, and others) for $72.

I really think it would just be best to trade them both in and buy them again later. I think the prices will go down a bunch, especially ACIII.
 
Wait a second... I got rid of my Rock Band 3 for 360 since it was worth $15 and it makes more sense to me to just buy it on Games on Demand. Is the game hard to come by now or something?
