My local BlockBusters have been getting more adamant about putting the trade-in credit on my account versus putting it on a Value Card. They don't like their money walking away to another store.

Big deal, I got COD4 for $4.99 (it was $59.99 minus $55 cash I won at a poker game last weekend).

$54.99 x .7 = $38.49

Is Halo 3 still $35?

What does it trade in for before tax? Any idea about Surf's Up for Wii? Both Happy Feet and Surf's Up were $10 on clearance at CompUSA in my area.

Traded in today: 2x Open Season X360 $19 3x Superman Returns X360 $15 Bionicle Heroes X360 $15 Bought today: Bioshock Used X360 $44.99 The Orange Box New X360 $59.99 I wonder how long I can ride the "half-price games" train at Blockbuster's expense?

Sweet, thanks for the reply. Hope someone can update the Wiki with this.

What games? What were the trade-in values? Still got your receipt?

KMart clearance is where it's at. Went to a couple other stores tonight: Superman Returns X360 $7 Bionicle Heroes X360 $4.90 2 x Open Season X360 $7 $25.90 total; will trade-in tomorrow for $68 in BB/GR credit. 162.5% return. Also grabbed some accessories: 2 x Universal Gamer Remotes $3.50...

Got 2 x THAW X360 2 x Superman Returns X360 Nyko Performance Kit $38.50 Could have saved even more if I did the $25 Gift Card for $20 deal. Could have also waited until November 4 for another 10% off.

X360 Superman Returns - $15 credit Tony Hawk's American Wasteland - $15 credit Both games are holding their value from last week. Just picked up 2 copies of each for $7 each at KMart. 114.3% return

There is still a 10% off coupon for EB/GS that you can use with your EDGE card to get a decent deal. HOV = ($24.99 x .9) x .9 = $20.24 72.9% return

I'm getting pretty annoyed with BB/GR behavior now. THEY implemented the trade-in policy, THEY set trade-in prices, but they make US feel like criminals for trading in games. From now on, I'm going to shamelessly trade-in games and make all my local Blockbuster Videos take a bath on trade-in...

FYI, I saw two used game price drops. Bioshock is now $44.99 Halo 3 is now $49.99 Bioshock seems to be a good deal, a full $10 less than the used price at EB/GS. Halo 3 is $5 less than EB/GS. Tons of copies of Bioshock (which is expected because it's single-player only). Only one copy of...

Putting trade-in credit on a value card is written ON THEIR trade-in agreement. If ANY Blockbuster employee gives you trouble about putting credit on a value card, ask them for a copy of their trade-in agreement (or show them the copy you were given when you opened your trade account) and point...
