Yes, I did!
Blockbuster Video has a deal up about trade in two games on their accepted list and you can use to pre-order any new game that's $59.99 for only $9.99. My game was Halo: Reach.
However the games I traded in were 2x Brutal Legends for XBOX 360, as it was listed on their flyers all over the gaming section of my store. Thing is, I purchased the Brutal Legends at the store for $9.99 each. So I payed for them, traded back in and payed the $10 and tax and I pre-order and payed in full my copy of Halo: Reach.
The catch....
The flyers they had out were outdated because they were advertising the deal to use it on Bioshock 2 and God of War 3, and Brutal Legend was on that list acceptable for trade. They just didn't think to replace them with new ones because the fact it was still showing a game that wasn't out, even though apparently there was a new list since price dropped on Brutal Legend. Shortly after I did this, the Manager walked out on the floor and removed all the flyers.
Case end point, I beat the system and I'm getting Halo: Reach for only $30 and not $60
Not to mention they said most likely this one, you'll get a $5 gift card for pre-ordering it when the game releases.
So overall, I was one happy camper!
UPDATE: Went in another Blockbuster near by to find they had a new copy of Final Fantasy XIII for sale. I talked to their manager to see if I could take my store credit on Halo: Reach and put it towards buying Final Fantasy XIII today. He agreed, call the other store up had them put my credit on a giftcard and gave the manager the giftcard number and it worked. Got FFXIII Instead for $30
I took some though and listen to some of your comments and I felt who knew what could happen in 6-8 months, so I decided to get a game as soon as possible before they decide to close more store. Glad I made that choice.....hell some other place will have some great deal on Reach or some special pre-order bonus on it anyways.
