    Old thread: Check first/last post for new thread link.

    Sorry - these are about a week old, but me and the fam were out on spring break last week. Lots of titles, most of which haven't been updated in quite some time (or at all)... No, I did not trade in all titles on this list. :roll: 04/01/2012 All titles are for the Wii & base TIV Star...

    86th and Ditch location is closing? Doesn't suprise me...I don't think the rent on that spot comes cheaply. I might have to make a trip to Fishers. I've never been up to that one. I'm running out of locations (S Meridian, 2 on E Washington, S East St, Crawfordsville Rd, W 10th St, Mann Rd all...

    I was planning on going out today to check on some of those. I've got some $5 GC's that I don't want to go to waste. It's amazing that with the dozen or so CAG's in the Indy area that we've had as good a run as we have had. Maybe we're not such a greedy bunch??? :) Edit: BBV on S. Emerson is...

    Be careful if you're interested in updating your Wii for a new Wii. The new ones have no Gamecube compatability.

    Interesting...when I did a trade yesterday they needed to confirm my email address which they had never done before. I wonder if I'll be getting one of those emails soon.

    It sounds like they are revisiting their Angel/Devil customer paradigm they used several years ago. Linky: http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2004/11/4382.ars Sorry for providing links and not summaries, but some people seem to care less and can skip it if they want.

    Amazon. Seriously. Read the above article. Don't know if I quite agree with it - I'd rather reserve the ability to box up a DOA television and take it back to the store than deal with shipping it back and forth.

    There was a good article on Forbes a couple of days ago regarding that: http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrydownes/2012/01/02/why-best-buy-is-going-out-of-business-gradually/

    BTW - I've never set up an online account. Does it link to your in-person account if you haven't been banned already? Or should I keep that as my ace in the hole when my seemingly innevitable bannination occurs?

    Well, it would be nice to talk of trade-ins if they could happen. But as it stands it seems like the majority of thread contributors have been banned. Unless you really want this thread to end up on pg 3 or 4...

    The Blockbuster Thread XXV: June 25th - July 1st, 50% off used games $19.99 and under

    Not a regional thing. BBV has become somewhat of a YMMV on price drops as they need to be "accepted" by a manager on the register before they become effective. There has been talk of some stores pushing this off intentionally on some of these titles with crazy drops. Why, oh why did they...

    Gawd...I come over here from the Best Buy thread and am reminded of the granddaddy of all ban-inations that happened, what, a year or two ago with those Visa cards? Narrowly avoided the fallout of that one, too. Just when I thought I was done with BBV, the gift just keeps on giving. 8-)

    BTW - just did a test trade earlier this evening. I'm still good to go. I talked to the gaming super there and he hadn't heard of anyone being banned at his store. I dropped it at that point. No need to encourage the junior detectives of the world. I'm in the over 3/system crowd, but under...

    No - they look like an old record sleeve with an insert that holds 5 CD/DVDs. I felt bad taking it (they ring up at 2.50 each), but they seemed so happy to be giving me one I couldn't say no. I could see if my dog wants to play fetch...

    BTW - are these bans corporate? Has anyone that's been banned checked other BB's outside of their "area"? Or online?

    I'm still good. Traded 5 games each at 3 different BB's yesterday. And I'm definitely over the 3 game/system limit on multiple titles. Maybe they just haven't gotten to me yet... I've spread out my titles over 5 BB's now, but they all are under the same ID (driver's license) - but they do...
