I was over on EB's website, and I found this promo on there... it's not perfect, but if you don't have a few of the bigger titles released recently this may be worth a look.

There are a few notable trades:
Sonic & The Secret Rings (Wii)
Rayman Raving Rabbids (Wii)
Wii Play (Wii)
Far Cry (Wii)
Red Steel (Wii)

It seems there are less cheap games up for PS3/360, but some of you might have a few. I'll probably be offloading my copy of Sonic & The Secret Rings though, and probably Rayman. PoP is calling my name...


I find this odd that this hasn't been posted yet (I checked the first two pages and couldn't find it - though if it's a duplicate we can get it removed).

There are reports on RFD of certain EB's not honoring the flyer, particularly in cases where people try to trade in games with TIVs below $8 (Wii Play, for one). So YMMV. Also, I just used four abbreviations there.
 
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 should be $9.99 used at BBV. No idea why Red Steel is still in the list but this one should be < $9.99 in BBV too.

Oh, eb games ...[/quote]

Star Ocean PSP is not even in the list of available games. Meh....

Even though there are lots of games that can be found cheap, the available list is very limited.
 
[quote name='halcyon1234']I find it funny that certain games (LBP) are on both the trade-in and trade-for lists.[/quote]

Nice. Give them two copies of LBP, plus $20, and they'll give you another copy of LBP. That's quite the deal.

They already thought of that. You can't trade duplicate copies. So much for that idea. =(
 
That's easy to work around. Trade in Resistance 2 + Gears of War 2 + $10 and get God of War: Chains of Olympus; duh. :p
 
nono! i have a better idea! why dont we just give out ps3s and 360 instead of the games! thats a super hot deal!!!! and only pay 10 dollars after!!


...so are they never ganna do that November promo anymore?
 
I want to get rid of Motorstorm, but I don't want any of the hottest new games on their list. Not much selection at all, are those the only games you can get?

Yeah, I have a couple games that qualify, but there's nothing I want from the list. :/
 
If the buses in Ottawa weren't on strike, I'd dump Sonic & the Secret Rings and Puzzle Quest. I'd probably get LBP even though I don't have a PS3 yet.
 
I have an extra copy of the first Raving Rabbits I dug out of the bottom of the Walmart bin. If I could find another cheap game at a Rogers or something, I'd totally go for Rock Band 2.
 
EB Games in Ottawa is apparently sold out of Little Big Planet. I went to trade two games for it last night and couldn't get it. And because of the bus strike, I cannot go back and check again when they get their shipment in.
 
EB Games at Yonge and Steeles (North York), had Left 4 Dead @ Trade 1 Get it Free!! I was going to ask the clerk there what it meant but I forgot when I was doing the trade 3 get it free promotion.

what games are you trading in?
 
I traded Mass Effect, FNR3, and Assassin's Creed for Street Fighter IV. I'm not sure what applies to the Trade 1 get it free promotion though...

Chose those games because I won't be playing AC again, the new Fight Night will be coming out in July (I can wait), and ME is dropping in price-->I think they just announced a super value pack at 19.99 in the states (including limited edition AND DLC).

hmm, AC for the 360 i presume?

i hope the value for the ps3 AC is the same, i have that... and i need 2 more titles that quilfy for me to get a new game :/

grrrrrr why isnt Resistance 1 and Rainbow six vegas's TVS >8!
 
Woot, I traded Wii Play & Rayman Raving Rabbids for credit towards LittleBigPlanet. (EB Games in the Rideau Centre, Ottawa)

Having the printout from the website certainly helped, and the guy (who was very cool about it) said that he hadn't received any word from corporate NOT to accept the deal.

Assassin's Creed for PS3 was worth $11 about 2 weeks ago
 
So i guess with this promotion in effect, there is no longer a trade 3 get it free deal going on. Maybe i will wait until next month to see what there Feb Promotion is.
