GS/EB Coupon/Used Deal of the Week FAQs - thanks oscargrouch
  • Coupon is valid in store (B&M Locations) only, it does not work online.
  • Just print the coupon, not the whole ad.
  • Coupon can be printed from this thread by right clicking on the image, selecting view image, then pressing print.
  • Coupon DOES NOT stack with any other offer, except EDGE cards.
  • Coupon will be valid on the start date of the weekly ad, not earlier. (YMMV on if the employees will do manual override, not recommended.)
  • The EDGE card takes 10% from the original price of the Used Deal of the Week, not the promotional price.
  • Used Deal of the Week is considered a promotion so it will ONLY stack with the EDGE Card, nothing else.

[quote name='Moravagine']Not that good of a deal IMO. Right now the PS3 version on Amazon has a trade-in value of $35.50 and the 360 version has a trade-in value of $29.75. Both versions have a similar value at Gazelle and you get 5% additional if you get paid by an Amazon gift card (and there are often additional coupons adding more). Plus, Gazelle gives you a month to get the game to them so you have plenty of time to continue playing the game.

Then you can use that money to preorder Madden 11 for $59.99 with no tax at Amazon where you get a $20 gift card back with the game.[/QUOTE]

I hadn't heard of this Gazelle website. Thanks. I have a bunch of Blu-Ray discs that Amazon was going to give me a pretty meager amount per Blu-Ray. Most of Gazelle's prices are about the same, but some of their payouts are quite a bit larger than Amazon's (i.e. Bond Blu-Ray 3-packs -- $5 credit from Amazon, which I was NOT going to do; but Gazelle is offering about $30 which I AM seriously considering now).
 
[quote name='bilbo']Wal*Mart or Amazon deal is better. They both give you a $20 gift card or video game credit for purchasing Madden 11. And you can get $30 for your trade-in (360 or Wii -- PS3 is $35).

All deals assume you are trading in Madden 10 for Madden 11
GameStop -- pay $20 for Madden 11
Wal*Mart -- pay $30 ($25 PS3) for Madden 11 and $20 gift card
Amazon -- pay $30 ($25 PS3) for Madden 11 and $20 Video Game Credit
At W*M and Spamazon, you are essentially paying $10 out of pocket for Madden 11 if you trade in M10 and buy a $20 Store Gift Card.

Seeing as I already have a $30 Amazon Video Credit, if I wanted this deal I should probably do it through Amazon.[/QUOTE]

IMO, the $40 ($44 with Edge?) is more liquid and thus more valuable. I can cancel that preorder anytime I want, whereas with Amazon you have to wait for Madden 11. This is quite a bit of money for a game that is out of season. I'm not sure who would actually be buying this game for more than $40 at this point, so they're not really ripping anyone off.

With that said, I am not sure if I want to let go of my copy. Madden Ultimate Team is pretty amazing and it's a bit hard to let go of. I'm playing a football game daily..and the season is over..that is how impressive it is.

I've gotta get rid of some games. A $44 credit at Gamestop is tempting. I can't believe GS is still charging $50 for a used copy of M10. I basicly only play Forza (and that sparingly), so getting a Credit and a game off my hands would be nice. I just downloaded Ultimate Team but haven't played it yet. Seems like I could pick up a copy of Madden from EBay pretty easily for $25-$30 now (and possibly even $15-$25 right now if I'm willing to scour EBay and spend the time to snipe away at some low-hanging fruit). In a few weeks/months (i.e. May), it might be easy to pick up Madden 10 on EBay for between $15-$20 (or score a EBargain for $5-$15 with a little patience).

Hmmm, would be great if you could find Madden 10 for under $10 or so, and could get the $40 preorder credit converted to just straight credit somehow. Even switching it to another game preorder would be awesome.
 
I bought Madden 10 in November from Amazon in a Lightning Deal for $27.97. It remains unopened since. I think it may be headed back there for $35.50.
 
I checked GS over the weekend. They offered me $28.80 for my copy of Madden 10 for the 360 even after the 50% bonus and my Edge card. Looks like my choice now is using the coupon or going the Amazon route.

GS -- $20 out of pocket ($60 less $40 trade-in credit)
Amazon -- $30 out of pocket - $20 GC that I'll need to spend.
 
FLOL I was in a store on Saturday, and got a bit excited because I saw they had two Limited Edition 20th Anniversary copies (said XX on the cover) of Madden on X360 used for $19.99 each.

Then I realized that was Madden 09, FLOL. Okay now this is just me wondering out loud and I'm not going to do it, but I bet those copies could be passed off to some clueless GS employee as Madden 10 for the credit boost, LOL. I guess it would have to depend on what the game disc looks like, but stick it in a Madden 10 case and no doubt it would go through. Again though, NO WAY AM I DOING THAT OR ADVOCATING IT!!!
 
Has anyone used this deal yet? Does Edge stack onto the $40 (making it $44)?

I'm looking to unload my copy when I pick up The Show today. Thanks!

Edge only affects the base trade-in value, not the promo value.
