DEAD: Ended 8/7/06 Trade 3 or More Games & Get an Extra $5 for Each Game

Receive an extra $5 PER GAME when you trade in 3 or more games. Games must have a used price of $7.99 or more to qualify for the extra $5. Also, 2005 and 2k5 sports games and newer WILL count for the bonus.

The employee must adjust the trade-in price of the games manually, but there is an option in the computer specifically set up for this deal. It is option #2 and will say something along the lines of "Trade 3 or More Games & Get an Extra $5 for Each Game". The employee must do this for each of the games that qualify.



75% off Select New Games & New Accessories

Please note: The prices listed are the 75% off price.

This sale is also good at regular Blockbusters (YMMV at franchised locations), but your selection there is obviously going to be limited compared to GameRush stores.

Reported Trade-In Prices

Trade-In Price Wiki
 
Thanks Shipwreck.

I traded in Tomb Raider Legend for 35 and picked up Donkey Konga 2, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and EYETOY PLAY for 38.

3 bucks out of pocket. I may start trading games again.
 
[quote name='shipwreck']Thanks, they are in the list now.

And thank you io for trying to clear up some of the questions that I apparently can't explain very well in the OP. :lol:[/QUOTE]

I think they are explained fine there - people just don't look :rofl:
 
Thanks io - I'm pretty good friends with the assistant manager at my local BB, and one of the guys I work with at the TV station is a part-timer there as well. I may be able to swing the bonus on some of my less-than-great games.
 
[quote name='mcelfour']I'm going to hit a BB (no GR nearby) at lunch soon. If they have them, I'm walking away with 4 ! Need to get some GC controllers so I have them when Wii comes out. If there are any, I'll post to confirm.[/quote]

No GC controllers at the BB near my work. Will swing by the one near my home after work. Anyone want to hook me up with either some controllers??? Please!
 
First Blockbuster I went to today had no clue about the extra $5 promo. Anyways, I went to another Blockbuster down the street and they had signs up for the promo. I went ahead and traded in:

Prices AFTER extra $5

Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition - $11
Half Life 2 - $11
Star Wars KOTOR 2 - $15.75
Marc Echo's Getting Up - $21 (WOW)

All of these are for Xbox btw and I got a total of $58.75 credit. I then spent it on:

MGS 3: Snake Eater - $9.99
Zone of The Enders: The 2nd Runner - $16.99
 
Just trade in Marc Ecko LE, Castlevania and Nightmare b4 Xmas for $70.13 in Credit.

I scored:
Looney Tunes (GC) $4.25
Need For Speed Underground (XBOX Non-PH) $3.25
Temco Classics Collection (XBOX) $7.25
Advent Rising (XBOX) $7.25
Ninja Gaiden (XBOX) $7.25
Pokemon: Fire Red (GBA) $8.25
Alphat Urb (DS) $5
Street Fighter Control (Amuka) $2.25
Geist (GC) $12.25
Brothers In Arms: Road To Hill 30 (XBOX) $5
 
I know people may get mad at me for requesting this, but I honestly don't have time (and I'm sure other people don't either) to look through 40+ and growing pages because I'm at work. Can someone summarize what games from the CC sale or in general have relatively high trade-in prices? I've seen a few like Flatout, Getting Up, and Nightmare Before Xmas...thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help out.
 
Some varying experiences today.

I picked up the following today (with the varient prices):
XB Stolen $5
PS2 Stolen $2.50
DS Zookeeper $5
PS2 World Poker Tour $5

Just a heads up I went to Wherehouse and traded in the following:
PS2 Stolen got $9 credit
PS2 World Poker Tour got $9 credit
PS2 Timesplitters got $1 credit (as opposed to the website)

I'm gonna go get price quotes for some of the circuit city games since Wherehouse carries iPods....
 
[quote name='Pootie Thang'] I then spent it on:

MGS 3: Snake Eater - $9.99
[/QUOTE]

That should have been $5 New unless maybe you bought it used.

PS I went and traded the following (prices after the added $5):

F-Zero GX GC $10.50 (they screwed up and gave me the $5 credit twice on this one)
Conflict Vietnam XB $6
Marc Ecko LE PS2 $24 (of course they didn't get the sharpie)

For a total of $40.50 in credit.

Then I bought the following:

Mr Driller DS $5
Hot Shots Golf Fore PS2 $5
Eye Toy Kinetic $12.50

It's funny, I had to tell them about the extra $5 per game. The Manager was almost yelling that they had "No new promotions". I had to tell him to turn around and look at the big ass sign behind him that said "Trade 3 and get an extra $5". It was classic, especially when they screwed up and gave me an extra $5. :)
 
[quote name='CosmosTheMouse']All the Blockbusters in the south suburbs of Chicago have NOTHING on sale.[/QUOTE]
Have nothing as in, they have none of the games on the list, or have nothing marked/signed? If the latter, don't worry about it. None of the four I went to had any signage. One of them had a couple things with the 50% off prices in a basket. All of them had the correct prices at the register.
 
Totally took the employees at BB by me by surprise. I asked for the price of Blinx 2. She looked at the lable and said 19.99. I asked her to scan it and she did a double check. $5.00! She called over an associate who then called the DM. After he got off the phone he says to me, had he known he would have gotten it for himself. Score one for me!
 
Every sale that was listed here has now been confirmed as being active

Must be YMMV in my area. There was a table with 3 items marked 50% off and all the games I wanted were on the shelf priced as marked:bomb: Predator Concrete Jungle rang up for 19.99 and since this was the 3rd store Id hit wihtout finding it for 9.99 or at all I got it.
 
Today I found:

Wavebird Controller $7.50 (some one reported these were $5?)
Sandisk 1 gig PSP Pro Duo memory stick - $15

Wario Ware Twisted $9.99 (not part of the sale)
Grand Theft Auto Advance $6.25 (glad I didn't pick it up at CC For $9)
Megaman Battle Network 5 White (GBA) - $3.75
Silent Hill 4 (XB, PS2) - $5.00
MC Groovz w/pad (box pretty beat up but oh well) - $8.75
Hulk PS2 - $5
DK Country 2 GBA - $7.50

Plus I found a bunch of decent $2 used, complete PSX games, including a copy of Beast Wars: Transformers that I'd been looking for for a while.

Oh, and I had both PSP baseball games on the clearance rack scanned and they are both $7.50. Not sure what baseball PSP game some one said they got for $5 but I definitely didn't find one.
 
I got paid to upgrade my NHL 2k5.
Traded in:
NHL 2k5
NFL 2k5
NCAA 2k5
NCAA 2005

6.25 for all em except 5.50 for ncaa 2005 football which I bought from the same store yesterday new for 3.75. :)

I then bought NHL 2k6 for 5 bucks. 1.25 less than the trade in of 2k5. MMMM
 
Didn't trade anything in today :)shock:), gotta regroup and figure out if there's anything else I want to dump from my collection at GR or EB.

Bought Dark Cloud, SSX On Tour (PS2), and Baten Kaitos to trade in to EB. I'll have to check the wiki to see what I should expect for MMAC (GC), they had a couple of those - I know it wasn't as much as the PS2, but with the bonus it might work out decently enough.

Also scored a Wario Ware Twisted! They didn't have one out, but I (maybe?) remembered seeing one at one point, turns out they had one in stock and it was in the cabinet, most likely because the huge box doesn't fit in a security case. Good day overall, much better than yesterday.
 
If you guys are still waiting, you better hurry since the deal is now on the front page of slickdeals. He did give CAG credit though.

None of the blockbusters around me know anything about the trade in and get an extra $5 deal, its annoying but is there anything I can do if they dont know how to do it? Have them call someone?

Nothing as in no sale.
The sale as they told me at every Blockbuster was "Just on hardware, not on games". They had a Retro control I wanted. That was all. All the games listed here were the price they were marked at the store.... mostly 19.99 or up.

Someone did well at Circuit city !!!
 
No luck here - 2 more stores 2 more busts.. maybe this should be YMMV?
Both stores i went to, 'Psychonauts' rang up at $29.99 'Pariah' was $15, no accessories were on sale either
 
[quote name='bmulligan']Someone did well at Circuit city !!![/quote]

I'm so glad my trade list didnt work out. I posted everything for trade and there were no takers. That was about half of my CC stuff, the rest of the stuff I kept for myself.

[quote name='Americanpierg']LOL i ask this once every page...hehe no responses yet though, ill try again in 10 posts[/QUOTE]

I don't get you guys - look at the fucking Wiki - that's what it is there for. No need to wade through 40 pages of posts. If you see CC game X in the wiki for such and such amount, then you can decide if that is worth it to you. We put the most current trade-in date there so you can judge if it is valid or not.

What's the big deal? Botticus and I work hard to keep that thing up to date you know :lol:.

Americanpierg - if you mean what trades in well at EB, that is a different matter (though you can check out the EB wiki and compare it to the GR sale list just as easily as I did it last night :D). But if you check out the EB thread in a few hours I will have my trade-in haul posted there (many games from GR - they were all worth it).

Ok, first of all, I'd like to add a big YMMV to the $5 bonus deal happening at regular Blockbusters. I went in to my local one and they told me flat out they aren't participating - only the ONE GR within 500 miles is. Last year during the same promo they most definitely participated.

OK, so I thought maybe that was just one store. I went to another later and the girl there didn't know about it at all. She looked in the MAP, saw it there and said, therefore, that they were doing it. I got my games and she started to ring it up but the computer wasn't letting her adjust as the instructions in the Map had said it would. She called someone (store manager presumably) who told her they were also not participating, but since she told me it was OK they figured out how to override and give me the adjustments JUST this one time.

So, apparently, the BB's around here (district-wide maybe??) have decided not to run the promo, even though it is in their MAP. Fortunately I dumped some duplicate CC games at this second BB and don't have too much left. I'll have to decide if it is worth it bringing another set into GR or not.

Anyway, among both GR and the regular BB I got the following (before bonus):

GBA - Galidor: $3.75 (VERY surprised, I almost didn't bring this thinking it wouldn't qualify. I got it for 96 cents at CC a few months back :rofl:
GBA - Midway's Greatest: $2 (another surprise)
NDS - Guilty Gear: $10
NDS - Whac-A-Mole: $4.50
PS2 - Castlevania: $12
PS2 - Driver PL: $16
PS2 - Fairly Oddparents Shadow Showdown: $7
PS2 - Jak II: $2.50
PS2 - Matrix Path of Neo: $12
PS2 - Nicktoons Unite: $9.50
Xbox - Combat Elite WW II Paratroopers: $16

One game didn't qualify: GBA Bomberman Classic, which trades for $1.25 (it is utterly asinine that NDS Bomberman gets less - I feel your pain Botticus!).

Like you LinkinPrime, I had no bites on my CC trade list at all, and that turned out to be just fine with these trade-in values. Things like Castlevania, Matrix, Driver, etc I would have returned but the $5 bonus saves me the hassle :D.

After these trades I went to a really cool EB where the manager gives me the 10% Edge bonus, the (now) $3.33/game bonus, and the 10% preorder bonus and I traded 15 games (11 of which were from the GR clearance sale) and got $130 in EB credit which I used for Deep Labyrinth and Blade Dancer preorders (which both being Atlus/NIS titles they are unlikely to show up at GR).

Here are the GR credit transfers

Mortal Kombat Deception PS2 ($5 at GR): $6 bumped -> $11.29 with all bonuses
Silent Hill 4 Xbox ($5 at GR): $7 -> $12.50
MDK 2 PS2 ($2.50 at GR): $1 -> $5.25
MAT 2 PS2 ($5 at GR): $4 -> $8.87
Def Jam NY PS2 ($5 at GR): $7 -> $12.50
Metroid Prime 2 ($5 at GR): $6 -> $11.29
Dark Cloud ($3.75 at GR): $2 -> $6.25
Tenchu Fatal Shadows PS2 ($5 at GR): $6 -> $11.29
Psi-Ops PS2 ($4.25 at GR): $2 -> $6.45
Alias Xbox ($2.50 at GR): $1 -> $5.24
Punisher PS2 ($5 at GR): $5 -> $10.09

So I turned $48 in GR credit into $101 in EB credit. Very nice indeed...
 
Just got back from GR #3:

I am working towards getting a DS Lite, and I am already halfway there in GR credit, but I might just take my GR games over to EB.
 
Well I took 9 games in for trade. With the price restriction I was only able to trade in 3. These prices are with the $5 extra per game.

Dragon's Lair 3D GC $11.00
NARC XB $6.00
Fable Lost Chapters $12.00
-------------
$30.74

Purchased

Goldeneye DS 7.50
Star Fox Assault 12.50

9.54 in credit still. Not a bad day. I guess I will ebay the other games.
 
Checked 3 BB's today picked up the Justice League GCN controllers (2 cont. for 5 bucks is pretty nice)
MK XB Controller 3.75
SMB Deluxe PS2 (will return my CC copy I almost spent double on)
very fewgames noticed, LOTR ROTK, Atari Anthol, and Kya were all they had... might check a few more tomorrow
 
I made the rounds today, and did pretty well. Someone had already cleaned out all the Xbox Live kits, though - one store had three as recently as the past weekend. I hit four GRs. All had signage for the $5 bonus, but had a mixed bag in their ability to get it right the first time. Didn't lose anything, though. 3 of the 4 had their clearance stuff in either a bin or endcaps. The fourth was repricing some accessories, but otherwise no presence or indication of clearance games.

I did find a Red Ninja to trade, for the person who asked about it.

Anyway, some trade in verifications, before bonus:
PSP - Exit - $18.00
PS2 - Flatout - $24.00
PS2 - Nightmare Before Christmas - $19.00
PS2 - Marc Ecko's GU LE - $19.00
Xbox - Castlevania: Curse of Darkness - $12.00
Xbox - Combat Elite - $16.00
Xbox - The Warriors - $6.00
Xbox - Red Ninja - $9.50
X360 - Battlefield 2 - $35.00
X360 - Gun - $32.00

I also picked up quite a bit for my own collection from the clearance. Just two things that didn't match the OP:
Ridge Racer DS stickered and rang up as $5, not $7.50.
The Urbz: Sims in the City (DS) is available for $7.50.

I'll probably do one more trade on Monday, and that'll be about my limit for this time around... unless another 'money game' emerges. I think I've traded a MEGULE to every GR I have a trade account with. ;)
