Just want to say thanks to everyone for the flips that have been posted - yesterday I turned $67 GS credit into $84 at BB, which obviously isn't a huge haul but is enough to not have to pay real money for Madden 16 today.  My wallet is appreciative.

Trade-ins from 4/1: :360: Xbox 360 core unit w/ wireless controller - $45 Madden NFL 12 - $15 NHL 11 - $5 Fuzion Frenzy 2 - $2.50 Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 - $7

Anyone know if Newegg has a pre-order price guarantee similar to Amazon? I couldn't find any solid info on that, so I canceled my previous pre-order and put in a new one at the $44.99 price just to be safe. Just curious for the future.

Yes they can. I often pre-order from Newegg when they run one of their weekend specials and cancel if a better pre-order deal comes along. I've done this four times within the last year.

I preordered at $56.99 last week and just chatted with a CSR about a refund, who told me that a $5 refund will be forthcoming within 48 hours. Even though that seems to be common knowledge by now, perhaps it's a good idea to chat with a CSR anyway - that way you'll have a written...

Until I saw this thread it didn't even dawn on me that I had probably lost Hexic when I moved to a 250GB hard drive a couple months back. Thanks, OP.

NFS: Hot Pursuit is actually a bit cheaper, $46.99 - exactly the kind of deal I'd been looking for on this game. I know Walmart is doing a $20 GC with a preorder but I'd rather have the savings up front. Thanks, OP!

Not working for me either. It's weird how this seems to be so hit or miss.

Hmm... if I can find a sucker buyer for my 120GB and keep the net cost under $60, this might not be a bad idea. Starting to run out of space thanks to Rock Band. Thanks, OP.

This is correct. I pre-ordered Tiger Woods 11 in April when the PAX code came out and my Paypal account was debited immediately.

Thanks OP, we have a two year old and another one on the way, so we might just take advantage of this. I have a feeling my wife is gonna hijack the GC for her own nefarious purposes though.

I was wondering the same thing, so if you still intend on trying this I'm definitely interested to know the results. Even though I think you're probably right about that middle finger.

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones then - I had 260 points, so I "only" lost 10. I still have three pending purchases, the oldest dating to 1/5/10. The consensus seems to be that I'll still get the points for them. Is that correct?

Thanks for the heads-up, OP. I don't have a Sam's membership but I asked a friend who works there to look for one for me.

Yeah guys, seriously, we were having an awesome rant-fest about Gamestop gutting its games before this XBL/PSN nonsense started up. Anyway, I was hoping for a Best Buy price match because I've got gift cards to burn, but it's not listed online. Guess I'll have to check my local BB... when...
