Just looking for trade-in prices? Well, check out what's been reported:
GameRush Trade-In Prices Wiki
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

50% Off Sale

Edit: It looks as though more games are being added to the 50% off list on 3/25/07. Here's what jaybsooner is reporting:

[quote name='jaybsooner']Hey guys, just a head's up. Went to my local Gamerush today (03/24/07), noticed they had put a ton of the NEW games they had for sale on a side counter. The manager told me they were being added to the 50% off sale. These were new additions to the previous sale. He let me look at the list he had for his store of the pulled games. PS2, XBOX, PSP, Gamecube, and 360 were on the list, the majority of the list (about half) was original XBOX, with about 20% PS2, rest a mix of 360, Gamecube, and PSP.

Can't recite the list verbatim, but you may want to check with your local game rush, I believe the actual list may vary from store to store, based what they have in inventory.

If you want, post what titles you are interested in and I will do my best to recall if it was included on the list, but I would suggest going to you local Gamerush and scout it out today!![/QUOTE]

The prices will be listed on the price drop reports as 1 cent drops making the game prices end in .98. The 50% will be automatically deducted when the employee hits the Total button. It's very unlikely that there is any signage or changes in prices actually displayed at the stores yet.

Okay, details are still rolling in and we don't have a full list yet, but we're getting there.

FAQ (Read before you ask a question.)

Q: Are used games included?
A: No, this is only for new games.

Q: Is this sale going on at normal Blockbusters?
A: Yes, as long as it is not a franchise Blockbuster. Most Blockbusters are not franchise locations. Call your local store and ask if they are a corporate or a franchise store if you are unsure or check a past receipt to see if it says "Blockbuster Franchisee".

Q: The games are scanning at full price, is this sale for real?
A: You won't get the discount until the employee hits "Total" on the register.

Q: Do Blockbuster gift cards work at Gamerush?
A: Yes.

Q: Is this going on nationwide?
A: Yes, but see details on franchise locations above.

Q: My blockbuster employees say they don't know anything about the sale, is this sale real or happening in my area?
A: It's a good thing that they don't know and see above franchise locations information.

Q: If I ask something that is clearly laid out here in the OP, will shipwreck make fun of me?
A: Probably.

(All prices are after the 50% off discount.)

[quote name='Lord Alfred']As far as I was told, it is on new games only, and is 50% off the marked price. The list was also laying on the back counter and I perused it. The list of games are for the PS2, GameCube, Xbox, PSP, and Xbox360. There are no DS games.

I wrote down the Xbox360 games since I thought those would be the most interesting. There were not many PSP games and the ones on the list were not very exciting. So without further ado, the Entire Xbox360 50% Off GameRush Listing:

Dead Rising $59.99
Disney's Cars
Enchanted Arms
Eragon
Fifa 06
History Channel Civil War
Just Cause $49.99

Older News:
Confirmed: All non-Next Gen game rentals are 2 for $10.

Pokemon Trozei $19.99 New

:ps3:
Sony Six-Axis Controller $39.99 New (Not a price drop, but $10 cheaper than MSRP)

System Watch:

Some GameRushes have PS3's on their incoming shipping reports as arriving on Tuesday, December 5th. One of the local stores that actually received Wii's will receive 1 (One) PS3 ($600 Version) tomorrow. No firm reports on when the next shipment of Wii's will arrive.

Random News:

In a really strange turn of events, GameRush actually pulled a lot of PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube games from Previously Played status and put them back up on the wall to rent. There are still plenty of used games for sale, but I thought this was an interesting move on Blockbuster's part.




Random Tip
FIFA 2007 for the Xbox 360 is currently listed at $40 new ($60 everywhere else). If you pre-order it and pay for it in full now, you should be able to pick it up when it releases and save yourself $20.


Price Drops for previous weeks (what was in inventory at the store I went to)

Kingdom Hearts II (PS2) - $29.99 New

[quote name='neocisco']Which store did you trade them at? I want to buy Marvel:UA.[/quote]

The town park store is where I traded it in. The copy I traded in was complete from my collection. I traded it in because it was the original version and now there is a third version of it coming out this week (Marvel Ultimate Alliance Enhanced Platinum hits). I have no idea what the difference is between the second release Marvel Ultimate Alliance Gold Edition and the Platinum Enhanced version. I will probably pick up the gold edition with the extra 8 characters someday if I can find it at a cheap price...

Town Park? Or maybe Towne Lake?
 
Well I was in GR tonight and like always was browsing the games section and I saw something new: a brand new and sealed Xbox S blue controller I picked up for just $7.50! Since it was brand new I doubt it was a trade in but I've never seen it before so I guess it was likely lost or stuck in the back room or something. May be worth checking at your BB if you need one*.

*And no I didn't need one since I don't have an original Xbox (yet!!). :lol:
 
If anyone wants my coupon just message me and I will forward the email. I'm not gonna be getting Halo there so someone might as well us it. Thanks, Ben
 
Here is some more stuff for the Wiki, if I should be posting this somewhere else please let me know:

Thanks, Ben
 
So is Gamerush still getting new releases? If I preordered Halflife 2 what are the odds of getting it at release? I'm getting ready to trade in NCAA 08 if it still gets $35 like the wiki says (9/7/07) otherwise i'll try to sell it here or bite the bullet and trade it to EB as a last resort. Looks like they give $20 and can prolly combine with a friend and get the trade bonus.

Edit: Screw worrying about Gamerush I called the new smaller game store Gamecity 360 and they giving $29 for NCAA although he said they gonna adjust the price down after I trade mine since thats way to high lol.
 
does anyone have the coupon code for the Game Rush gift card because i never received the email to get my code for the 10 giftcard you can provide to me after your purchase your copy of the game because the my GR Store Manager will honor the code since he said all the codes are the same
 
Posting this again to express my hatred for GameRush from here on out.

I went up to GameRush. I got there at 11:55, and the doors were locked, so i waited for one of the mother fuckers who were running around in there to see me. A woman comes out and says that they decided there not doing the midnight launch thing anymore, since there weren't people lined up at 11, which is when the store closed. I was the only one there, and i told the woman, who was being a total bitch to me, that it would take about 10 seconds for her to sell me MY COPY OF THE GAME THAT I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR AND WAS PROMISED TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO THE STORE AT 12 AND BUY IT. She says I can come back tomorrow, and I tell her that "I guess I'll just come by tomorrow and get my money back and buy it somewhere else." to which she responded, "okay" and then walked back into the store to resume her important job of moving dvd boxes around.

I'm fucking pissed.
 
Sorry to hear that SJ. I guess I got lucky, my store didn't do that. Got my copy and going to bed.

Also, now that I have blown my wad on Halo 3, I need to get some more Trade in credit. I saw that my GR was taking preorders for Assassin's Creed and I need some more credit!

Ideas?
 
Well I was able to get my copy last night. They had trouble getting the coupon to work and had to override it, might have been because the coupon wasn't tied to my account. Thanks for the coupon Blair2100. FYI the coupong is only good 9/25-9/26.

The store I went to didn't get the full shipment they were expecting so they only had a handful for sale, unless you preordered. They probably had 35-40 preordered copies at the town lake store. They said they would be getting the rest of the shipment today including a few legendary editions in.

FYI the Cumming store got the whole shipment including somewhere around 6-10 legendary editions. They still had a few legendary left this morning.

I was shocked to find out GR was actually getting the legendary edition in and was actually tempted for a minute by it, but I will save my credit for COD 4, Orange Box, etc...
 
[quote name='Bezerker']Do you need some more credit?
:D[/quote]

I need some more trade in credit.

Wow, I didn't think I was that incoherent at 12:30 am. Guess I am. And yes, I need some more credit ;)
 
Keke, I need more credit as well. I've been playing Halo 3 since the 20th, my brother actually beat the game. I need to go out and buy it soon...

Anyone have a coupon? I'll take it even if it is used, I'm sure someone can over ride it for me. =)
 
Well, I just hope my store set my copy aside for me....generally they do, plus I already paid for it. Now I just need to get my $10 Gift Card and the game.
 
Picked up my Halo 3 at GameRush. My store also re-arranged the entire game section...it is much smaller now. They also have the 25% off SHOOTER titles.

Got my $10 Gift Card also.....what to buy with my $200 in credit now ;)
 
Has anyone seen Eternal Sonata at a regular (NON-GR) store? Just wondering if this is one of those select titles they'd sell. h2dk picked up Blue Dragon that way, so it is certainly possible.

Our store got a single copy for rent, but none for sale (if that helps your question any).

FYI- for those of you using coupons for Halo 3, it doesn't matter whether it's yours or someone else's (or even if it's already been used). The coupon isn't working in the computer system, so they'll have to do an override no matter what.
 
I preordered Halo 3. They actually put my copy of Halo 3 aside for me, had my name on it and everything! Plus when I picked it up, I gave them the coupon for the $10 gift card and it worked with no problem. It's a shame that I'm surprised that everything worked the way it's supposed to. We've become so used to bad customer service(especially at GR's) that when things do work the way they're supposed to, we're shocked!
 
Hey DoubleDown, they've done the same thing to my GR as well. The game section is smaller and they are having the 25% off on select 1st and 3rd person shooters.
 
I wanted to swap some crap games for Heavenly Sword, and here are the prices I got. 3 lame games + $0.94 = Game I actually WANT to play.

Pirates of the Caribbean 360 - $19
Tenchu Z 360 - $22
Carnival Games Wii - $23

I asked if they were going to be reserving Rock Band, but it wasn't on their pre-order sheet. I'd rather not deal with EBSpot or paying tax/shipping online if I can help it.
 
[quote name='nietzsche74']So apparently Gears of War isn't really a "shooter".[/quote]

Yeah, and neither is Virtua Tennis 3 nor Top Spin 2 'sports' games. There's one guy that I see at Blockbuster that I swear hates me. I just get a "I don't want to talk to you even if I'm getting paid to" vibe. pentapenguin may know who I'm talking about.

If you're referring to the 25% off select shooters, it was included at my local Game Rush.

[quote name='doubledown']Anyone trade in GHII? Curious what it gets.[/quote]I got $26 for mine when I traded it in 3 weeks ago. It was only the game, no guitar. Also the PS2 version.
 
Has anyone traded any of the K-mart Xbox 360 clearance titles? (Check out the K-Mart clearance thread for details).

We have at least one potential tripler- Far Cry can be bought for $7 and trades for $22 (as of 9/5 according to the wiki). Again, if the wiki is still accurate, you could also do Amped 3 - $10 > $19. I'm thinking Star Trek and that Cabela Alaskan adventure might also have potential, but they aren't listed on the wiki.

I hadn't thought of trading those to BB. I was considering some of the Kmart things for the trade 2 extra $10 at EB/GS, but it looks like even with the bonus many of those won't even be doubles (though I'll take a near double at EB/GS over a near triple at BB/GR any day given my limited ability to spend BB/GR credit).

FWIW, $7 360 games at Kmart: Cabela, PD0, Kameo, Tomb Raider Legend, Table Tennis, Chromehounds, World Champ Poker All In, Moto GP '06, Lego Bionicles, Prey.

$10 games: Star Trek Legacy, Amped 3, Superman Returns, Far Cry, Quake 4, Xmen.

Don't forget Over G Fighters if somebody does not mind checking.

I traded a pile of Far Cry, Open Season, and Bionicle Heroes to GameRush. There are a couple of games that might also be worth trading when the next 30% off clearance sale happens at Kmart. I'm at $425 credit currently, just a little less than I need to get an Xbox 360 Elite. My credit is only at 50% of face value or so, but that's certainly better than full price for a next-gen console. :D

Edit: I should point out that all five of my GR stores have 360 Premiums and Elites in stock, so I won't have too much trouble using my credit (a couple also have the Halo Edition). I might also consider using it to get a PS3 or a Wii, since I'm still nervous enough that I might want to buy my 360 at a place with replacement warranties available.

What are the values of those games? (And last date you traded them). Open Season isn't on the Wiki at all and the other 2 are 3 weeks out of date.

Also, does anyone know if Ice Age 2 for the Wii is still $26? I have one more I completely forgot about. I think I still have time to return it to CC if it has dropped.

As for the 360 availability at your GR's - color me jealous. I wish I could have gotten my Elite from there (instead of GC). I have a feeling, though, that even if it were still around, my GR wouldn't have any of those. And don't worry about getting your 360 from GR - with that 3 year warranty from MS (on RRoD, anyway) it pretty much makes store warranties useless.

Doh, sorry. I thought I had already seen all of the trade values mentioned here. My last trade was 09/24/07, and I got:

:360: Far Cry: Instincts Predator $22
:360: Open Season $19
:360: Bionicle Heroes $15

Here are a few other trade values, from the same day (stuff that I didn't trade, though):

:ps2: Disgaea 2 $19
:360: Just Cause $12
:360: Star Trek $12
:360: Perfect Dark Zero $8
:360: Phantasy Star $12
:360: Top Spin 2 $8
:360: Tomb Raider Legend $12

Also, does anyone know if Ice Age 2 for the Wii is still $26? I have one more I completely forgot about. I think I still have time to return it to CC if it has dropped.

That one was still $26 last week, but I don't know about now.

Yeah, I guess that I just worry about other issues - I've heard of some problems that didn't lead to three rings, and therefore aren't covered by the extended warranty. I suppose that I could induce failure by forcing it to overheat if it came to that, though. ;)

I talked to one of my GR store managers on the 24th, and he said that his store and most of the others in my area will continue to sell consoles because they do pretty good business. They're shrinking the game section, but will keep the GR branding. He also said that they're still getting Wii consoles every week, but that they're usually gone within 30 minutes or so.
 
Thanks... I'll update the wiki. Given the relative worthlessness of GR credit (for me, anyway) I don't think I'll bother flipping any of those Kmart games unless they have another 30% off clearance sale or go to 90% off (from the current 75% off). I suppose Bionicles and Far Cry are the best options though. I did pick up an extra Bionicles last time and I'll look for Far Cry next time I'm out to see if there are any around. Despite "running" the Kmart thread I didn't even realize that was on clearance there ;).
 
I called some of the Gamerush stores in my area to check on some of the Kmart clearance items. Here is what I was quoted:

Xbox 360
Bionicle Heores $15
Cabela's Alaskan Adenture $15
Open Season $19
Far Cry Instincts: Predator $22
Star Trek Legacy $12

Non-Kmart clearance trade in prices
Happy Feet - Wii - still $26
DOA Extreme 2 -360 - $28.50

Some good games to flip if you can find them at Kmart.

Thanks for all the previous trade in price updates.
