[quote name='bigant262']What do I need to trade in a PSP? Do I need a memory stick, AC adapter or just AC Adapter?[/QUOTE]

Just the system and AC adapter. They may give you additional credit for a memory stick depending on the size.
 
[quote name='aem']Just the system and AC adapter. They may give you additional credit for a memory stick depending on the size.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, so I'd get about $125 for trading in a PSP and PS2?
 
[quote name='bigant262']Thanks, so I'd get about $125 for trading in a PSP and PS2?[/QUOTE]

I'm assuming that you are talking about PSP 1000 and 2000 models. If so you'd probably get $125 in store credit for them. However some GameStops may not like you trading in 2 PSPs at once ance might only take one of them. You might have to go to another GameStop to get them both traded in. I don't know if it makes a difference that they aren't the same model.

I tried to trade in 2 phat PS2 systems during this promo and the GameStop acted like they weren't supposed to take multiples but they didn't really care. So the store I was at took them but another store might not.

This does end today and GameStops close early on Sundays so you are running out of time if you haven't left already. Just to clarify you will need to pay to become a power up rewards member to get then $25 bonus credit for each PSP.

Do you still make more trading in Forza 3 and Halo ODST separate? I know it was like that a while back when I traded the group in.

[quote name='Scottv007']Are they extending the 50% trade-in bonus? The 50% icon is still on the TIV page on Gamestop's site.[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure it's a west coast website, know they usually don't update until at least mid-day EST.

I guess in the thread somewhere it was stated when it would end, but I never saw anything either in store or online on their site. Guess it was supposed to end today? If so that'll piss me off I was going to trade in Bulletstorm (awesome game just not much else to do after you beat it and played all the echoes a few times). Hopefully they'll do an extra 25% towards DA II then if the 50% ended.

edit: nevermind I see it at the very bottom of the page it takes you to...pretty dumb they show all those games and no TiV's or anything. The end date should be in the banner not hidden at the bottom.

[/QUOTE]

In the database, the separate values are Forza 3 $8 & Halo ODST $3. If those are current it would have been $1.60 more after the bonus. For such a small amount, I didn't bother breaking it up. Besides those individual values may be outdated anyway.
 
:360:
Battlefield Bad Company 2 - $9.00
Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare - $9.00

PS. This was in Las Vegas and the 50% trade in offer no longer came up even though it's on the website still.
 
I did see an ad today outside of the local Gamestop in Louisville, KY, that was offering 25% extra TIV on any games towards the pre-order or purchase of Mortal Kombat (2011). I don't know any other details than that.
 
They finally took down the 50% banner/page, but didn't change anything else. The "power trade deal" is still the one for Bulletstorm and stuff that ended yesterday. I really hope since they took of 50% they ad 25% towards DA II...if not guess Bullestorm trade in is going to Amazon.
 
Anybody know if there's any 25% power trade's going on for DA II? It's still not updated from the ones that expired yesterday....it's a pretty big release so it's hard to believe there's no power trade for it.
 
[quote name='JKSonic']So SAVER definitely no longer works, right?[/QUOTE]

VSHIP is the new free shipping code. Only valid until 3/31 for now, though.
 
Love how it says "additional handling fees may apply to larger items" and then even if I just put ONE game in there it still charges a handling fee. Even with free shipping, between tax and handling the CAG15 + Edge is almost halved.

Or wait, is VSHIP not stackable with CAG16? They were both on there but when I got to checkout it said that the coupon code won't work and took off free shipping.
 
I'm hoping that a 25% trade bonus will pop up when WWE All Stars comes out. As much as i'd rather buy it somewhere else, getting the Million Dollar Man is too good to pass up.
 
Gamestop has updated their website. The Tiered trade is now in effect (3 - 10%, 5 - 20%, 7+ - 30%.)

And the power trade games are Dragon Age 2, Mortal Kombat, Pokemon Black/White

meh. not like I even have 7 games i want to get rid of, and even if i did, 30% just doesn't beat 50%... so looks like im gonna have to find other ways to sell for awhile
 
[quote name='Fatbot3']Does the 50% on Pick Up at Store allow more than one game to be traded with the bonus value?[/QUOTE]

I'd like to know this as well because I would love to pick up mlb the show on the cheap.
 
[quote name='nietzsche74']?[/QUOTE]

I guess I should have been more specific just for you...

"I'd like to know this as well because I would love to pick up mlb the show on the cheap by trading multiple games in with a 50% boost."

You're right across the Ohio River from me (I live in New Albany, IN). *waves*

Gamestop.com says that there's free shipping when you buy two or more items, but it's not applying itself when I try to checkout with two used Gamecube games. Wonder what's up.

Please try to post base values:

Powerup Pro bonus is still listed seperately on receipt so if you have that (which I can tell you do) just multiply powerup bonus by 10.

for that "pickup at store" coupon, can I trade in more than 1 game under the coupon or is it just 1 game per coupon?

I barely missed the extra 50% bonus trade-in and would like to trade in a bunch of games under 1 coupon. If it's just 1 game, I suppose i could just trade in black ops :whistle2:/

[quote name='iNFiNiTE HORiZON']they need to bring that 50 percent bonus and $50 hardware tiv bonus back[/QUOTE]

So I guess I should wait then unless the Wii System TIV will devalue and won't make a difference.

I got a Wii that's been collecting dust since it was handed down to me by my brother.
 
Anyone have a copy of that email where you can get $25 if you trade in Pokemon Heart Gold or Soul Silver? I'm a Powerup member and haven't gotten the email. Help would be greatly appreciated!
