N64 HW and 5 N64 games - $25 trade-in value Active: Now - 5/28/2005
Trade-in a working PO N64 SYSTEM and 5 pre-played N64 games and receive$25.00 in trade-in credit. System trade-in value is $5 and each game value is $4. Game boxes and instructions are required. May not be combined with any other offer or discount. See sales associate for complete details. Customer may be responsible for sales tax. Game/system must be in working condition. Some titles are excluded from trade.

What N64 titles would be excluded?
 
Everything cheap like sports titles, wrestling titles, mario 64, etc.. basically everything that you could turn a profit on.
 
$5 for my N64? I may never touch it again (even though I keep it hooked it) but I'd never part with it for 5 measely bucks.
 
If you think that's bad, look at this one:

GC HW and 3 GC games - $50 trade-in value Active: Now - 5/28/2005
Trade-in a working PO GC SYSTEM and 3 pre-played GC games and receive $50.00 in trade-in credit. Game boxes and instructions are required. May not be combined with any other offer or discount. See sales associate for complete details. Customer may be responsible for sales tax. Game/system must be in working condition. Some titles are excluded from trade.

Gamecube owners are getting the shaft if they take that deal.
 
Usually in those older system trade in deals, there aren't any games excluded. You might have to double check, and it might be YMMV, but I did it a while back with a PS1 and my older sports games worked for that one.

NEVER trade in good games or games you want . . . if you want to gain some credit at EB find some $5 games that are not on the excluded list, trade 5 of them in toward a $50 preorder on a game, then cancel the preorder and have $25 in EB credit "profit."

For instance, I bought Siren and Psi-Ops for $5 each at Target (on my tradelist, but no takers) I got Metal Arms for $5 (after coupon) at Best Buy, Midway Arcade 2 for a penny at CC . . . throw in something you're down play and voila . . . $50 in EB credit.

wouldn't it be better to get the preordered game and then return it for the full 50 dollars?
