Please note in the next few weeks I will be changing stores to Hefner and Rockwell. They needed the help and while I like my store the pay raise was justifiable and my current sm is moving to pittsburg.

This is a general range of what GameRush will give you for the game you're trading in. Obviously not all games will be like this, but it should be close.

This is becoming less common very quickly. Probably down to about 50% accurate.

OTHER INFO

They also have coupons in magazines for great deals, so be sure to check EGM, GamePro, and several other magazines.

GameRush is starting to expand, so check the store locator every once in awhile to see if one is coming to an area near you.

All BlockBuster's should now accept trades, so the trade in prices for BB and GR should be similar, but normal BBs will not always have the deals that GameRush has.

GameRush accepts game trades without case and instructions and the games can be in poor condition depending on the employee.

You must have a BB account and sign a trade agreement to trade at GameRush.

Please be careful if you scam GameRush (by flipping games) they do have the abillity to ban you from all GameRush locations if they want to (and as I have done but that was only because I was tired of crap PS1...).

Release dates - Go by the shipping date. 9 times out of 10 it is not what the Blockbuster computer says. The computer date is when traditional stores can expect to receive their rental games.

Game Rush receives games typically on Tuesday and Wednesday of the games release. Only reason EB and Gamestop get them a day before is because they get special shipments or their dm picks the games up and brings back that evening (or they are near distribution centers).

Some games have street dates but this is few and far between (outrun 2, halo 2, star wars episode 3, doom 3 are it in the past 6 months).

Possibly, but regardless, don't even bother preordering them from GR. GR takes preorders for a lot of games that they'll never receive, especially niche titles like the ones you mentioned. I've had three preorders fall through for that very reason, and for each one they made me wait about a month after the official release date until I could switch, at which time they would give me grief since the preorder deal would be over and they wouldn't want me to get a different game for $30. I wonder what they expect when they take preorders for games they know they won't get.
 
^ Which is why some employees will limit your preordering to their official list. It depends on the employee if they let you switch the preorder, give you the full price of the game, or just refund what you actually paid if your preorder doesn't come in. I've personally experienced all 3 situations. They are becoming a little better on receiving games, cause I've seen games like Phantom Dust and Scrapland plus some more titles I didn't think they would carry.

Personally I would check to see if Gamerush is carrying any new games from the publisher Atlus Software, since I think it mainly depends on the publisher.
 
[quote name='ksuwild25']I picked up the last 2 copies of the Echo game at Collin Creek Mall's EB, one new and one used one for 9.99 and 7.99. Traded one in already.[/QUOTE]
Grrr, so thats why I couldn't find any copies there a few hours ago. Blah. No luck at the EB in Richardson Square Mall either...

Yeah yesterday morning I went to ebgames.com to find the nearest store and the top 3 that were there yesterday are replaced by EBs that are hours away when I checked this afternoon. I just went to the one at the mall though, so there is another CAG(s) that got those other stores.

If you want to try your luck at Fry's (this is the only place that I know of that has the game and will price match competitor's prices), I think they have some 30+ copies when i saw him pull up the game when I tried to get it price matched from my EB receipt this afternoon. Unfortunately he wouldn't do it, because he decided to call EB at the last minute to check to see if they have them in stock because the manager there butted in at the last minute and made him do so when he saw the 9.99 price. He was at the last step of the price match too, so I thought I was about to walk away with a couple more copies. Supposedly when they do a price match, that price is in their system for at least a day so all the other copies will ring up at the 9.99 price. If you, or any other Dallas based CAG wants to use my receipt and try their luck let me know. 30+ copies is alot of GR credit.
 
[quote name='Zennousha']Stores will stop accepting copies of games if they have too many. My GR stopped accepting Club World after my friend and I traded in 5 or 6 and they stopped taking RE:CV for PS2 after a couple as well. It worked again two weeks later so they must have moved a unit or two to clear up "room". Last time I went into GR they were boxing up tons of games that they had more than five copies of so I was told. There were hundreds of games being packed up so I imagine GR has some type of safe guard even if it is really weak.

Has anyone managed to pick up Doom3 CE with the trade in 2 deal? I want to pick it up and I saw people got it for preorder before but I wasn't sure if it has worked since release.[/QUOTE]


Nope they would not let me get it. They said the regular one was the only one that applied. They wouldn't even let me pay the difference of $10. That was the GameRush manager. I went late at night an a regular new employee didn't know the difference. :)
 
[quote name='stoned99']I've never had a problem trading two copies of anything, in fact 1 day I traded two copies of 4 different games in the same trade. I told the GM who did the trade the truth, which is simply I hoard stuff I get cheap for later trades.

He smiled and completed the trade.

I'm just about double dipped out however, I traded 6 games on tuesday, and didn't get a single preorder. I have about 15-20 games on preorder, with quite a few duplicates of the same title. About once a month I return a game unopened for complete refund, so instant 55$ credit to my account.[/QUOTE]


You can return games for full credit? Damn I would have returned my Doom3 so that I could buy a Doom 3 LE if that is the case.
 
anyone know what GBA legend of mana or advanced wars 2 are trading in at... thinking if its $10 ea I would jump on it. Seems like my store wont do prices over the phone. *bastards*
 
Weird experience for me today. Traded in two copies of Echo and a few others with no problem —$the manager handled the transaction. He had given me a hard time about double dipping the last time I traded, but this time, he apologized and told me he DOES accept double dipping. I tried to get Doom 3 CE ... No luck. Anyway, I have about $150 on my card now. Trying to save up for a PSP, so I'll probably buy a few more Echo copies this weekend.
 
[quote name='nakanenui']is atelier iris ~eternal mana~ or stellar deus: the gate of eternity in the system?[/QUOTE]

They should be in the system (I did a preorder for the former, but not the latter), but I never thought about the fact that they'll more than likely never receive it....oh well, if it doesn't work, then I'll have to try something else...

Blargh, so much for going to Frisco...no point in me driving out there if someone else will go! ;)

The best thing about living in a little place such as Denton is not having much in the way of competition....of course, my friend cleaned the local store of their two copies, so I'm SOL. :p

My store will not let me double dip. But, tonight a clueless employee was working and I was able to get a Doom 3 CE version for the trade 2 get a new game for $29.99

The good news is the computer lets you do this. The management has just been told to not do it.

Echo Night still gets $25 for trade in :)
 
Evening of Thurs Apr. 7th, *with* $5 exra:

PS2 - Malice: $16
PS2 - Echo Night Beyond: $30
GC - Final Fantasy CC: $16
PS2 - Auto Modellista: $10

Nothing surprising to anyone here, but just a confirmation that nothing has been changed outside of the normal schedule (Tues).

Thanks Gamerush (and EB)!

A question for the Gamerush people on CAG: do they get a full history of your tradeins popping up on their computer when they scan your BB card? The girl today said something like "Boy, you sure have pumped alot of games through here" after she scanned my card. The guy I usually deal with never says a thing. This is the first time I've ever gotten a comment about my frequent tradeins. She asked me if I had another source - I was as honest with her as I needed to be. I told her I buy things on clearance when I find them. She said that was a good idea. So I didn't take her original comment as a negative (though it caught me off guard). By the way, I have used *all* my credit from that store to buy things (like controllers, DS games, used PS2 games) or preorder.

Also that comment came just after I saw the main guy that I trade to in the pizza place next door talking to the employees there about how the BB store needs to concentrate on Gamerush (and not the normal BB business) because it is making them tons of money. So I certainly don't feel bad providing them with a few dozen very high quality (at least in terms of use since they were mostly new or from my own collection and thus very well cared for) games. I'm certainly doing my part to prop up their preorder stats...

On preorders, they let me look at the latest list and I saw first hand the Fire Emblem confusion they have. In the list they have a Gamecube Fire Emblem listed as coming out in May. So that is definitely the GBA version, not the GC. They didn't have two of them. I would really like to preorder the GC Fire Emblem but I'll have to wait until they straighten it out in their computers. There wasn't much else in there left for me to get. However, even that list is not the most up to date because it didn't have Ratchet & Clank Deadlocked but she was able to find it in the computer. She found that but not Jak 4. I really wish they'd get DS Mario Kart and Animal Crossing in there. I assume these will be $39.99 games at least, so it would be worth doing the deal on them.
 
Another question for the GR people: how long does it take for them to follow universal price drops? The reason I ask is that I want to get Zoo Keeper DS but it is still stickered at $34.99 (though I did ask to scan it and it was really $29.99). I was hoping it would drop to $19.99 like other places (in addition to Gamestop and Best Buy as other CAGers have found I saw it today of all places at CompUSA for $19.99). When I saw it at CUSA I figured it must have been a universal drop because they usually keep things overpriced for so long.

Of course I would like to use tradeins to get it instead of spending cash out of pocket. I have a gift card with my tradeins from a non-GR blockbuster burning a hole in my pocket. :)

A question for the Gamerush people on CAG: do they get a full history of your tradeins popping up on their computer when they scan your BB card?

[/QUOTE]

Yes. All member histories and non member histories are stored for at least 90 days. Everything from the time you paid how you paid what you traded purchased whatever.

As for Zoo Keeper I believe its still in the system as $29.99 (that price change came last week) though it may go down again this weekend. Most price changes download Saturday/Sunday to be done by Thursday.
 
Questsion: Are member histories kept by membership number or by store? Are the trades I make at one location accessible at another?
 
Bad news on Echo Night!! Just checked EB online and the price s now $19.99!! Sucks for us procrastinators! :( I was just on my way out to pick up whatever copies my store had! Oh well thanks anyway guys!

As long as the value hasn't gone down at Gamerush I figure I'm set for a while with the 10 copies that I have on their way to me (used up about half of my remaining credit at EB)

Hmm has anyone tried getting one at a B&M store today? Sometimes EB doesn't bother changing the price tags, so if you find one labeled 9.99, you could go for it...
 
Just in case everyone does not read every thread, you can pick up constantine (xbox) from fry's for 14.90. It gets you 18$ at GR + the additional 5. So two copies will net you a nice profit of 18$ or so.
 
[quote name='lyric706']Questsion: Are member histories kept by membership number or by store? Are the trades I make at one location accessible at another?[/QUOTE]

By store under the membership number. meaning your history won't show up at another store unless someone calls to verify the account (usually at the store you got the card from) then they may check the history for anything outstanding.

Now it is possible for a hold to be placed on your account that carries over too all stores. it can be put on very easily and anyone can do it so if someone gets suspecious then they can do that.

I just went and they all had nice new 19.99 stickers over them. :cry: They didn't have any of the other games new or used mentioned in this thread either(EG: Malice). Totally shot my plan to hell. Oh Jade Empire you were so close. Of course they had three of them too. Could have been so nice.
 
[quote name='dinovelvet']Hmm has anyone tried getting one at a B&M store today? Sometimes EB doesn't bother changing the price tags, so if you find one labeled 9.99, you could go for it...[/QUOTE]

That's funny - when I got my copy it was labeleld $24.99 but rang up $9.99. Glad I went out yesterday to do that! In fact, almost none of the cheap games were labelled properly (Malice labelled $14.99, Auto Modellista labelled $10). I guess that is good because they'll last a bit longer in the store if casual shoppers don't know the true price.
 
I called an EB today and had them price check Echo... $19.99 is in the system now. Argh! I needed three more! Oh well... Up to $150 in credit now and still have a huge stack of Cheap Ass Games that I'll never play. Anyone know when the next GR PSP shipment is supposed to take place?
 
Another question: Does anyone know what GR gives for DOA: Ultimate —$and also if you can use both discs as separate games?

The one copy I saw at GR was listed at 39.99 used (selling price) and it was both discs bundled together.
 
Anyone know if Powerdrome still gets $12 at Gamerush? According to another thread, Powerdrome is currently $4.96 at Circuit City, so it could be a good deal there.
 
I just forked out the $20 for Echo Night, then drove to Fry's, picked up Constantine for $14.90 and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for $6.80, came back, and loaded up on some games....walked away with God of War, Doom 3 RE and CE (one's for my dad, the other is another copy for someone else).

Nope... same exclusion list applies for all deals now.

That price is only online. So to me it's not worth the trouble. Plus the trade in price might change before you even get the games in hand.

Not true - GR sells a few used games for $4.99 and offers $1.00 credit for them, but they are excluded from the extra $5 deal because then they would be buying the games for less than their selling price. Those games can still be used for the preorder deal, though.

Actually I just picked up a $5 Powerdrome at CC. I'll trade it tomorrow with 2 other games and see. I figure the worst that could happen is that I get $6.50 for it!

By the way, if you can still get Powerdrome, I would trade it at EBGames if you can get the 3 for a psp game deal (since it isn't pox).

I used my 2 $1 games tonight to preorder Madden '06 for cheap.

Hey I have a question, so I bought the star wars the clone wars/tetris games at hollywood/gamecrazy to get at least $1.50 at gamerush, and did see the no resale thing. So gamerush didn't take it. Should i tell some higher authority that gamecrazy is selling these "unsellable" things or just get my money back from the store? Any thoughts

That was to make it so stores wouldnt sell it without the xbox bundle...but now that those bundles no longer exist, nor enforced, its up to the company to do what they want. also, if its used, it is really just out of the companys hand...how many "Not For Resale" Sonic/Sonic 2 carts have you seen?

If no resale is on the case, take the liner out of the case, they can enter it manually without the case. Alternatively, rip the paper insert in half, if "no resale" is on the front. They'll have the back of it for the barcode. If it's on the CD, you might be SOL.

Actually, the Starwars/Tetris disc is not listed in the system and something that can be purchased back. Its not like a Sonic 2 NFS, that game was available at retail while SW/Tetris was not.
 
for echo nights, is eb still selling it for 8 dollars? and if so it gets 30 dollars trade in credit at gamerush including the extra 5 bux.. sorry i kept reading and i could not find it

It's $7.99 used at EB yes. New it's $19.99 now though. The guy at my closest EB said that none of the stores in the district had any used so it seems kinda rare. $25 is the base trade in price at GR for it so yes 30 if you trade in three.

I actually take these and the TopSpin/NCAA at my store. Since its technically not in the system I explain to them I can only take it under one of the titles(whichever is worth more credit) and its up to them if they want to trade it. (last time star wars was worth more I think $7 vs $5).

So if you want to do that just ask if they will take it as Star Wars alone.
