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.

Hi, I'm a regular contributor to this thread.

I just purchased a small PSN game digital download code from gamestop.com. I was using a giftcard to purchase this, but as I did not have enough on the gift card for the sales tax, I decided to use an address in the billing information from a state that does not charge sales tax. I paid as "guest", used a very alternate e-mail address, random physical address and phone number, and did not apply my PUR card towards the purchase. Could this possibly be considered fraud and, more importantly, could they track me down at all? We're really only talking about 80 cents (which by my calculations doesn't reflect the accurate amount of tax that would normally be charged anyway) not going to my home state.

Maybe people usually do this sort of thing all the time, but I'm starting to feel a little shaken.
 
Well this is off topic but GS related. I have never bought any digital content from them before but during my last trade I decided to use some towards getting the Season Pass for Borderlands 2. Well it turns out that the code is not for the actual Season Pass but rather 2400 MS points to buy the season pass. No biggie but I had to do a double take after entering the code on my computer.

[quote name='albwrong']10/20

Took advantage of the Best Buy B2G1 sale. Traded in the following games to move credit to GameStop.

Xbox 360:
Borderlands: 12.00 (x2)
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution: 13.00
Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary: 15.00
Sniper Elite 2: 20.00
Halo Reach: 17.00
Saints Row Double Pack (2CD): 13.00

PS3:
Alice: Madness Returns: 13.00
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: 18.00
Borderlands GOTY: 15.00
Portal 2: 13.00
WWE 12: 13.00

3DS:
New Super Mario Bros. 2: 18.00

DS:
New Super Mario Bros.: 13.00

After all bonuses, I ended up with 313.50. Still got one more game to trade in but Best Buy gave me Forza 3 instead of the newest one so going back later to get the right game. So I think I did pretty damn good.[/QUOTE]

Damn, was all this in-store at your local BBY? Puts the stores by me to shame.
 
Anyone know the TIV for the 3gb Xbox slim w/ wireless controller?

Hopefully I can get $200 towards it...and go for the Holiday bundle. Forza 4 + Skyrim makes it worth it.

[quote name='Jackovasaurus']Does anyone know where GameStop stands when it comes to trading in multiple copies of a game?[/QUOTE]

As with most things Gamestop, not every store follows the policy, but generally speaking you can only trade in one copy of a game (per console) per transaction. I'm not sure of the exact time frame that they look at, but the associate can also look up your past transactions and if they are very strict they may refuse a trade in if you traded in the same game recently.
 
[quote name='pedrobeara']wow found out you can not use the guaranteed PowerUp Rewards store credit https://www.poweruprewards.com/PUR/Index/TradeValues with the 30% powerup trade in for select games bonus its one or the other[/QUOTE]

I am confused. The PowerUps bonus for those games are all better than 30%. If you had games not on the list you could just do a separate transaction I would assume. If not then I would have not traded them at that moment and just gone to another GS or come back later.

I must be missing something, but I'm not seeing how those totals work out.

Beware Skyrim is a download code (it does affect others, probably not you) and Forza 4 is the "Essentials Collection" where they stripped out 1/2 of the cars from the full game to sell to you as DLC.

[quote name='sninh']I thought you dont get taxed on digital purchases?[/QUOTE]

Depends on the state and sometimes the system. MO is not supposed to be taxed on digital purchases, but anything I buy in-store digital on XBox is taxed, PSN is not. No one knows why. The physical MS point cards aren't taxed though.

The essentials does include 320 cars so it is still pretty robust.

Well I noticed it says "Not for Resale" on the box as well which partially kills it for me...I've never heard of that Essentials collection at all, but it does seem like that is enough cars. I'm fine with Skyrim being a digital download, I can trade my original copy in. It's very cheap that they couldn't give you retail versions of both games, but I'd still go through with it.

I just need the 3g slim w/ controller to be $200 TIV at least...otherwise it's not worth it.
 
I traded in my old Xbox 360 today (Black Elite 120 gb). I got the double trade-in value but got hit with a $25 refurb fee. I questioned him and he told me that all "old" systems get a refurb fee because they have to be sent away. I've never traded in systems with GameStop and I've never seen that in this thread. Was I lied to?

yes you were lied to.
Call the store immediately and ask for the manager, if they do not help, ask for the district manager's number.
You are owed $25 or possibly $50 (depending on the promo calc)

do not wait until tomorrow.

[quote name='justoneuncle']I traded in my old Xbox 360 today (Black Elite 120 gb). I got the double trade-in value but got hit with a $25 refurb fee.

Yes. Some employees are such scummy scum scum.

You could very well be correct on this, good catch.

[quote name='donut']yes you were lied to.
Call the store immediately and ask for the manager, if they do not help, ask for the district manager's number.
You are owed $25 or possibly $50 (depending on the promo calc)

do not wait until tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
This is good advice, I hope you are able to take care of this as soon as possible. Sad to read that you encountered a jerk on a power trip.
 
Does gamestop accept the power brick for the 360 on its own and the sing star 2 microphone kit? I saw on the OP it said 4 for 360 powercord but I wasnt sure if that was the brick and the cord.
