First post contains promo information & useful information and frequently asked questions. Second post has the values for games for Microsoft devices. Third post has the values for games for Nintendo devices. Fourth post has the values for games for Sony devices. Fifth post hardware values. Sixth post is open for expansion/reorganization.

FAQ
These trade-in values are really low!
While that may be true, if you combine the games with the right promotion they can work to your advantage. There are knowledgeable people in this thread that are normally willing to help.

Is there any way to look at what the previous values reported on a game?
You can search through this thread and previous ones to see what a game has been reported in the past. With the TIV Tracker you can sort by date and then go through the list of past updated values through that as well. Here are the previous GS TIV Threads: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,,,,,,,,

Can I trade-in sealed games?
No. You might come across the rare GameStop that would let you do it, but they are going to open them anyway.

I don't want to get hassled about the values I post, how can I get the information out there?
If you do not feel comfortable or willing to put the values in the thread you have two options available. You can input them in the TIV tracker or you can send them to me via PM. Either way the database and these lists will be updated. Putting them into the TIV tracker does save me some time later on.

Do trade-ins have to have their original case, insert and manual?
No, however it will be YMMV on if they charge you a refurbish fee for them in that condition. Most GameStops wont charge a fee but there are some that charge for incomplete games.

Will they accept my game if it is really beat up?
YMMV. It really all depends upon the employee you get. Some will charge refurbish fees, some wont, some wont accept the game and others just take them without a second glance.

What are the refurb fees on games?
There appears to be set prices for set value ranges. We aren't 100% certain on the splits just yet. Here is what we have currently:
$0.25-$2 Value: $0.75 Refurb Fee
$2.01-$4 Value: $1 Refurb Fee
$4.01-$7 Value: $2 Refurb Fee
$7.01-$10 Value: $3 Refurb Fee
$10.01 & Higher Value: $4 Refurb Fee
This information isn't guaranteed by any mean and we are still working on nailing it down.

What are the refurb fees on consoles?
They are listed in the hardware TIV section, highlight in red.

I have a Collector's/Limited/Special edition of a game, do I have to trade-in all of the extras?
No, but there are a handful of games that their variations have separate listings at GameStop: Madden 09 Anniversary Edition, Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition, and a few others.

Why didn't the percent bonus go for my accessory for a system that was included?
Unless stated otherwise, and they are rarely included, the bonuses never apply to accessories. Except the EDGE card of course.

I traded in a bunch of games for the "Trade X, get $X bonus" promo and it gave me the percentage bonus instead?
I can't give concretes on why this happens. GameStop computers are normally pretty good at giving you the better promo. In the case of a percentage bonus being run at the same time as a "Trade X, get $X" promo, things can get messy. The system appears to only give one promo on games per transaction so if you had a few games that you want to go to the percentage bonus and a stack for the "Trade X, Get $X" it will regularly apply the percentage to all of the games. Your best bet is to do all "Trade X, Get $X" games in one transaction on their own. The GameStop clerk may say that the system will figure it all out, tell them you want a separate transaction anyway. As always, check your receipt before you leave the store.

Can I trade in multiple copies of the same game?
YMMV. The official policy is no, but there are some GameStops that overlook that rule.

What all do I have to trade in for a console trade-in?
Xbox 360: Console Unit, power brick, A/V Cables, Controller (wired/wireless)
Wii: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cables, Wiimote, Nunchuck, Sensor Bar
Playstation 3: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller, USB Cable
Playstation 2: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller (Must be a DualShock2) *Fat unit requires either back cover or network adapter*
GameCube: Console Unit, Power Cable, A/V Cable, Controller
PSP: Handheld, A/C Adapter
Nintendo DS/DSLite/DSi: Handheld, A/C Adapter, Stylus

Can I trade in a defective/broken console?
For the most part yes. If it powers on but doesn't play games, they will take the console as a refurb unit and put a refurb fee on the console. The refurb fee on the console will vary on the price of the console so those numbers will change. You are still required to trade in everything required listed in the question directly above. They will not, however, take RROD 360 consoles. There may be stores that still do it, but official policy is to not take them in.

What is the difference between PowerUp Rewards and PowerUp Rewards Pro?
The basic card is free and only allows you to acrew points when spending money. The Pro card costs $14.99 and is basically the same as the previous EDGE program.

How much does a PowerUp Rewards Pro subscription cost?
It costs $14.99 and is good for a year. It also comes with a 1-year subscription to Game Informer magazine.

What bonuses come with having an PowerUp Rewards Pro card?
You will get an extra 10% trade-in credit on the base value of the game, extra 10% off the purchase of pre-owned games and 10% off new strategy guides.

Does the Power Up Rewards Card give me a bonus on hardware trade-ins?
No. You will only get the bonus for games and accessories.

What if I want cash instead of credit, what do they deduct?
If you decide that you want cash instead of credit, they will take 20% off the base values and promos will not apply.

Does promo "....." have a minimum trade-in value?
If the promo has a minimum trade-in value requirement, it will be listed in the promo. If it isn't there, then there is no limit. However, as with all trades, they are subject to manager approval so the manager could have setup his own little rule-set requiring a minimum of whatever.

I used a Power Trade promo for a pre-order, can I cancel that pre-order and get the credit or move it to another game I want?
Yes on both accounts. However, if you do a bunch of the power trades and just straight drop the pre-order you could create some ill-will between yourself and the employees you cancel on. However, if you look at the wordings on promos, they can remove the bonus trade-in value if they decide to.

I just tried to use a promo that has a select list of games eligible, but they say my game isn't eligible anymore, what gives?
Basically they have the right to change the eligible games at any time. They tend to update these frequently so as to lock out any easy/cheap games. It's best to check the eligible list the day of your trade.

Can I stack two different trade-in promos?
No. The only thing that will stack with trade-ins is your EDGE card. Some will report success, but this requires a manual override and is very YMMV.

If I pay for an item using all credit on my card, do I have to pay sales tax?
This varies depending upon the state you live in.

If I buy a used copy of a game that requires an online pass for multiplayer, will it come with an online pass?
If you purchase a used title published by either Sony or WB you get an online pass from GS on your receipt. That's also why the used copies are $55 instead of $48 when the MSRP is $60.

No GS issued passes of games published by EA, THQ, etc. On those titles you're totally dependent on the previous owner not using the code.

What states charge sales tax on purchases paid in full with credit and which ones don't?
Charge Sales Tax on Credit Purchases: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia
Does Not Charge Sales Tax on Credit Purchases: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming
No Information Yet:

My state doesn't charge sales tax on purchases made by credit, why is gamestop.com charging me tax?
It is just the way they have designed their system. The best theory we have seen is that since you are only inputting the number off of the back of the card, it isn't going to pick up the programming from the specially tagged EDGE cards. Some kind of programming that gets input from their system that wont show up when only inputting the number off the back of the card.

$12.80 if you're GCU.
 
[quote name='littledude702']Well they still got one over on you since you could have preordered black ops 2 at best buy and got a 20 dollar reward zone certificate.[/QUOTE]

the bb i went is like 25 mins away from my house . while the Gamesetop is less than 2 mins from my house heck i can even walk to my nearest GS .. there are no BEst BUY's close to me

so that is why i dont preorder at bb. and b4 someone try to say im not factoring in the cost of the gas used to go to BB i hitched a ride a with my Sister and her BF they heading there anyway.
 
[quote name='cancerman1120']You would think GS would have this type of thing figured out after being in business so long. It is either a. They are too stupid or b. They think the majority of their customers are too stupid. Discuss...:lol:[/QUOTE]

No they rnt stupid actually because they bank on people separating that game so that they could charge more money. Plus more people are willing to buy from tgem used individually then a combo pack.
 
Tomorrow is the extra $5 on Vita games, right? Wonder if Modnation is still over $3. Hope so, since I got it for less than $1, it'd be good to get more than that back for it.

Next time you're in GS, have the employees give you a print out of local/GS.com stock for those 2 games and you'll have a good laugh at how low it is. That's why they give so much for it, and charge outrageous prices for it.

[quote name='cancerman1120']Well this is how the math would work converting credit from BBY to GS using AC:Rev to buy a game on the BBY fall $20 RZ cert offer. I am using Thursday'v value ($21.50) that includes PUR. This would be worse if you did not have PUR or your traded on Wed when it got ($20.40)

Buy 3 AC:Rev for $9.99 x 3 = $29.97 + tax (for me it equals $31.50).

Trade to GS for $64.50 credit and pay off game tax free $59.99 leaving $4.51 in credit left.

True cost in BBY credit = $29.30.

Cost of staying with BBY = $59.99 + tax ($63.05 for me) minus $20 RZ cert. True cost $39.99 + tax since RZ certs will not be taxed when used. ($42.03 for me) I guess this part is more complicated than that since you have to buy something again to take advantage of the rebate.

Now at this point it was better to buy from GS by flipping. If you get a price match better than $48 it makes BBY better. For a Silver member this is very likely.

I think my math is right but I am tired from moving my parent today. Anyone let me know what I screwed up or omitted.[/QUOTE]

I would wait until later in the week. I passed on trading Kid Icarus today and am confident the TIV wll stay the same. I would antipicate that Mario 3D Land will hold steady for the time being (at least until Mario 3D land 2 comes out).

They will not honor a price match of any sort. Since you bought it used, just return it with your receipt and re-buy it. I know it's a pain but what can you do.

You should have a 7 day window to return any used game for whatever reason. I'm assuming your copy is used because it would impossible for you to get a price difference refund from a new game to used game.
 
Just a thought. If your store has ncaa 13 used, get it for $24 on the 1st then trade it back in on the 8th for $30. I'm gonna do this so I can get a quick fix of ncaa.

The value wont holdnlong enough to pull this off, but good luck.

Both Vita:

Disgaea 3 - $12
MGS HD - $16

Ended up with $40.80 for the two after the bonus. Finishing up Modnation tonight for a trade tomorrow. Got quoted $8 at the store...I'm sure he was figuring in the $5 bonus and the base is actually $3. But I'll take $8.30 for it.
 
I will definitely be using that 50% off sports games to move some GS credit to BB credit.

NCAA 13 looks like a good title to do that with right now.
 
Hoping MK Vita holds at $11, going to trade in tomorrow towards Fall of Cybertron and before it goes back on sale and will for sure drop TiV.
