Current Trade-In Deals

Trade in 2 games, preorder any game for 29.99!! (July 19th - ??)

Restrictions and rules below:

[quote name='drfrielgood']Alright, I read the map today and here's some stuff on the new deal:

- As has been said, it starts on July 19th. I cannot remember offhand the date that it ends.

- Trade any 2 games, get any preorder for $29.99. I forgot to check if XBox 360 games are included in the deal, but as most people have already stated, I highly doubt it.

- The two games that are traded in for the deal must retail for at least $7.99 each (preowned price).

- The credit can still be applied towards the $29.99.

Game Pass

Rent unlimited games for a month. You can have one game (or 2 depending on the pass) out at a time and can return it whenever you want and switch it out as many times as you want.

1 out = $14.99 the first month....$19.99 thereafter

2 out = $24.99 the first month...$29.99 thereafter

You must have a credit card/check card to signup. Checkcard must be visa, mc, amex, dc, or diners club. You can also do it by getting a prepaid visa, mc, dc or amex card with at least $1 on it so it will clear the authorization and just pay for it each month (very tedious though). You can cancel at any time. Good on any rental game (gamecube, psp, nds, gba, xbox, ps2).

$0.99 Retro Games

All Dreamcast, Snes, Genesis, and Nes games are $0.99. Games available depend on which store you go to. Games may not be marked as $0.99, but they will ring up that price. Trade in value of all games on these systems is now $0.25.

[quote name='Roufuss']Anyone?

Heading to Gamerush soon, and I don't want to waste the 15 minute drive down there just for them to say it's too late.

I know you can preorder stuff at EB / Gamestop right until the ship date, not sure if Gamerush closes it off early (since they seem to do things in a different, odd way than everyone else).[/QUOTE]

I think this is YMMV depending on the employee. I'm sure most would still let you pre-order it, but the best way to determine this would just be to call them. Or, if you have another game on pre-order, just change it to Hulk and pre-order that game again.
 
from my exp, you need to pre-order about 4-5 days before it comes out. If your name is not on the list when it ships, then it does not count as a pre-order.
 
[quote name='Americanpierg']OK...i just read some very serious (and scary?) information about "reselling" items for profit. Apparently, you are supposed to report the profit you made from reselling the items on your tax report. IE if you sell a game for more than its retail price on ebay (MvC2 anyone?).

My question is, for us who has raked in hundreds of dollars in Gamerush Credits, are we supposed to report that as income??[/QUOTE]

How about we don't say crap, and don’t get taxed? Is the government really going to track us through GameRush. Another thing, can you just post things relevant to the deals? This is Cheap Ass Gamer, not Cheap Ass Tax Report. I know you have an "MBA in economics", but that doesn't mean we care to hear about your Tax ramblings.
 
found a different store in LA that is doing the 25% thing

with the bonus:
madden 06 $43.75
forza $37.50
fight night round 2 $37.50
darkwatch $37.50
medabots $25
bia $15.63
 
[quote name='shipwreck']The Xbox 360 is now in GameRush's system. According to the clerks at the one I went to, they only have a sku for the $399 version. I pre-ordered mine with $50 down over lunch. Have the employees look up "Xbox 360 Wirless Version" (that's what's on my receipt).[/QUOTE]

Thank You! I went today to my favorite GR and made their first preorder on the system. They only had the $399 version, but required $100 down.
 
Damn....I was just at GameRush and they said they did not have the XBOX360 yet. Oh well....

I did trade in two games:
Nightmare Druga $15.75
GAlleon $20

Pre-Ordered Scarface for XBOX (I believe it's only for 360 though)

I also rented Death Jr. I guess when I return that I'll pre-order myself a XBOX360.

sheesh, i guess someone's not going to pass their irs audit...
 
First, the positives:

Second Sight (ps2) - $7.00
Project Snowblind (ps2) - $6.50

This is without the 25%, since this GR had no clue what that deal was, and I had no time to mess with them.

Second, I preordered Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction... so it seems you can preorder a game right until the day it ships.

The negatives:

I forgot how much I hate Gamerush. It took EB 5 minutes to manually put in 3 GBA games, look up the SKU's on TWO DS games (since they already shipped, they weren't in the preorder list anymore, but I could still preorder), took down all my info, and even chat with me for a minute or two about the games.

It took Gamerush 20 minutes just to take down my info on two games, and then figure out the trade 2 get a PO for 29.99 deal. At first, the girl didn't think I could pay it all off and just put $5 down, but I remembered this thread and how people said it caused problems, so I had to insist 2 or 3 times to pay it all off before she let me.

I guess getting Hulk for $18 bucks though is worth the 20 minute hassle... but they really need to update their system.

Surprisingly (based on everyone elses experiences), my GR has been pretty good. Other than the first preorder I made there (when the guy spent ten minutes trying to find the Zelda barcode), I've been in and gone in five minutes, tops, with a few moments spent discussing CAG. The last time even involved ripping open a game I just bought to get the extra 25%, which is always a big pain in the ass nowadays.

Only thing I don't like is the itty-bitty GC section.

That's too bad but is definitely on the extreme end, even for GR. Mine is always pretty good about it, even with a bunch of new employees there recently. And I tend to put them through the ringer (asking if things are in the preorder system, asking trade-in prices, making sure I get the 25%, etc). Hmmm... maybe it is because of me that they are so knowledgable about the deals :D.

EB, on the other hand, is pissing me off because I'm trying to call right now to make sure they hold the Nintendogs preorder bonus for me (not to mention my Daschund version) since I'm out of town and can't get in till Thurs. It is 7 pm in Oregon right now and the rat bas***ds aren't answering their phone. I've called 5 or 6 times!

[quote name='andrew333']
medabots $25

GRRR!! I went to about 7 TRU's in the DC area and did not see a single copy of this game! Anyone know what Defender and MK Deadly Alliance get?
 
So other than Iridion 2 and Trivial Pursuit, what are some other canidates to trade into Gamerush that are cheap and part of the 50% TRU sale?

I figure that if I have to go back to get Hulk, I might as well stop by TRU before hand and clean them out of TP's and Iridion 2's, but I want to try and get some diversity, so I don't have another Druaga incident.

No, someone said that was $5 at TRU and traded for $8. When I went to TRU it was $10 - so that's not a good one :D.

Yea, just looked at the list, lol.

Like I told you in the PM, I'm only going to do one or two preorder's for games coming up... I honestly don't trust Gamerush enough to lay down preorders for games for the rest of the year, judging by what I've seen when I've been in there.

They were really happy to get my one preorder though... I kind of felt bad for them, like I was the only person who pre-ordered something all day :lol:

Well I wouldn't imagine they get more than 1 or 2 per day. One day a few weeks ago I did 3 preorders and they were all excited because someone else earlier did 3 as well - it was some sort of record for a day :D.

I have to trust that their preorders will work out because I have so many :D. Some aren't due out till next March or later (like FF XII and Zelda).
 
Does anyone know the SKU part number for the 360? Maybe thatll help my local branch out. Thats all i have left to get. I cant wait. I know ill probably be the 1st in my store to preorder.
 
OK, gizmogc posted a Nintendo press release here:

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63887

that has a release dates for the rest of the year. Now GR has NO EXCUSE not to get the rest of these games in their preorder list. Hey GR corporate types lurking here - GET IT DONE! :D. The interesting one is Metroid Pinball with the rumble pack coming out so soon. Hopefully GR won't categorize this as an accessory like they did with Donkey Konga and disqualify it from the preorder deal.

Here are the more interesting releases, with ones marked with * already available for preorder from GR. Read the original thread linked above to see all the games for GC, DS, and GBA (in particular there are a ton of GBA games I didn't list here).

In particular, they need to get Metroid Pinball, Mario & Luigi for the DS, and Fire Emblem, Mario Party 7, and Super Mario Strikers for GC in their system.
 
Preordered the 360 today...nice to finally get $399 off my value card. It wasn't "officially" in the system so they marked me as "paid" on the list. (better keep my receipt) It will be in the system later this week.

The manager said he hoped to get the 360 games on a preorder deal soon, trade 2 get one for $40. This would be nice, as I will have another dozen $25+ games to trade in the next month or so.

Right now the only launch game I am definatele getting is Oblivian, but with a trade-in deal it will make it easier to decide what else to get.

If I got an Xbox 360 that would be the only reason. But I might just hold off till I can play it on the PC... If GR gets a trade-in deal on the Xbox 360 games that will help.

Wow - so you dropped the entire $399 down? Did they offer a $50 or $100 deposit option? Bet you made his week :D I'll add to it with some more preorders on Thursday...
 
Traded in these today with 25% bonus:
Galleon $25
Nightmare Druaga $19.69
King of fighters: MI collection 19.69 (Just the game itself is only 6.50)

But what I was surprised to see at this store was used japanese GBA games mostly pokemon and yugi-oh especially alot of yugi-oh destiny board traveler one. Was this game that bad or did it just gave good credit?

It always takes like 15 minutes at the register for me...even at the good GR stores. They never have their shit together. I kinda feel like a dork for holding up the line sometimes, but then I'm like eh, whatever...not my fault.
 
I was able to change my preorder from Zelda to Digital Devil Saga 2: lets just hope they get it in, it was in the syatem so they said they could preorder it.

I'm probably gonna go ahead and switch it to something. Kinda silly keeping a game on preorder for almost a year, when there will undoubtedly be deals there or elsewhere once it nears launch again.
 
Just a little FYI, my one GR (Farmington Hills, MI) still has not recieved my copy Geist. I checked my receipt (I keep all of them just in case) and I pre-ordered on March 14. This is one of the worst run GR around. They never called me about games, and when they did the games were really not in. I am going in today to demand my full credit for the game and get it at my new GR.
 
[quote name='commish']I was able to change my preorder from Zelda to Digital Devil Saga 2: lets just hope they get it in, it was in the syatem so they said they could preorder it.[/QUOTE]

Considering they never got the first one, or really any Atlus title for that matter, I would have low hopes for this. It's kind of strange that they would have a lot of games in their system, but they'd only pick a good portion of them up. But who knows! :)
 
Is there anyway someone could post a small mini-faq on what the best way to get the games and do the trade-ins is for someone who wants a large number of pre-orders? I know Gamerushes typically don't like you trading in multiple copies of the same game, so it seems like there are only a handful of games you can get a TRU. What are people doing for the other games? Are there other deals or are you using games from your own collection?

Also, for DS, GBA games, and stuff that retails at 29.99 and less, how does the deal work? Isn't it just like you're getting credit for it and no deal at all?

Finally, how is GR about taking games without manual/front cover? Is there anyway to get them to accept these, or is it pretty much hit or miss?

The deal basically doesn't help you for DS and GBA games. You don't get any extra off the $30 retail price, so yes, it's like getting credit without the deal.

And having the manual and cover really depends on who you get at the counter. Some of the more uptight employees will reject your games, while others may not care. From what I've heard, you're more likely to get full value with a case, but you don't necessarily need a manual.

As far as the game with the best trade-in profit, I'd like to know also ;)

With Best Buy and their 5 dollar off ps2 game coupon, you have about 10-15 games that will sell for 5 dollars, and many of those will be in stock unlike those mysterious "free" after coupon games that I have yet to see. Just grap a couple (make sure they retaill for 7.99 used at gamerush, chances are they will), turn them in, get ur 3 or so dollar credit, get ur preorder, shell out 4 dollar out of pocket for each preorder.
 
First here's some trade in prices for this week:

Madden 06 (Xbox) $30
Fantastic 4 (PS2) $30
Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition (Xbox) $30

Now, time for some additional info on the Xbox 360 pre-order scenario. Like I stated previously, the Xbox 360 is in Blockbuster's system. Unfortunately, there was an email sent out yesterday telling employees that they were not allowed to take reserves on it yet. There was supposed to be a conference call regarding the Xbox 360 today and I'm not sure if that has taken place yet, but I overheard employees talking and it appears that it will take $100 to reserve the system and they may only be getting 10 per store. And like I said before, it appears that they will only be carrying the $399 model. Hopefully, someone will be able to better fill us in on the details. I guess I was just lucky and got mine reserved early. I'm sure a lot of uninformed or uncaring clerks would still let you reserve one.

Oh, and I checked on used DS system prices today and they are still $99.99. Their computers still had new DS's at $149.99 though, so hopefully the used price will drop when they update the new price.

One last edit: I picked up a Darkwatch t-shirt and lanyard today. I had picked up my pre-order for this game last week and hadn't even realized there were pre-order bonuses. So if you pre-ordered it, see if you can go back and get your free stuff.

Has anyone ever tried using the Best Buy PS2 coupon at GR? When I was at GR on Sunday, I noticed one of the little barcode thingees taped to the monitor at the GR counter said "match competitor's coupon" or something to that effect. Can anyone who works for GR confirm what this barcode is meant to be used for?

Well they match competitor's trade in prices and used prices, but there is no way they would match new prices. Just look at the DVD prices at Blockbuster compared to Best Buy or Circuit City.

[quote name='andrew333']mind my asking which one had the flyer?

i frequent the venice location and they said the deal was not part of their map / plan / whatever[/QUOTE]

Manny is just burning you then. I got it at my GameRush, the Culver City one (Sepulveda and Sawtelle).

ah well, peeps can use the list for ballpark figures :)
 
[quote name='shipwreck']Now, time for some additional info on the Xbox 360 pre-order scenario. Like I stated previously, the Xbox 360 is in Blockbuster's system. Unfortunately, there was an email sent out yesterday telling employees that they were not allowed to take reserves on it yet. There was supposed to be a conference call regarding the Xbox 360 today and I'm not sure if that has taken place yet, but I overheard employees talking and it appears that it will take $100 to reserve the system and they may only be getting 10 per store. And like I said before, it appears that they will only be carrying the $399 model. Hopefully, someone will be able to better fill us in on the details. I guess I was just lucky and got mine reserved early. I'm sure a lot of uninformed or uncaring clerks would still let you reserve one.[/QUOTE]

Interesting info, esp. since they told me it was $100 for reserve. I guess I was extremely lucky to heat to the store after you posted the original message and before they read their email. If only 10 systems are being allocated per store, I'm surprised employees wouldn't get first dibs on them. If anyone here is interested on getting a 360 on launch from GR I'd suggest pesterng them soon.

manny is great, the most competent game employee i have ever met, i have always bought my stuff there even when other gr stores were allowing combining, i did go to the sepulveda store though just this once to take advantage of the 25%
 
Well, I guess I'll wait a few days to see how the XBOX360 pre-orders go. I'm sure I'll be one of the first ones to pre-order one at my store....hopefully :)
 
I hope it's a $50 deposit but am expecting it to be $100. How much was the deposit on a PSP b4 it came out?

I've got a 360 reserved at EB already but the guy told me i wasn't guaranteed to be in the first wave and wouldn't say how many people were ahead of me when i ordered after E3. I wanna make sure i get myself a system at launch without having to camp out so I'll prolly go ahead and preorder one at GR just to be safe. Worst case scenario i'll have 2 systems and just have to sell one to a friend for my money back if Ebay aint that hot on them.
 
i think i'm gonna roll down to mine right now and try and pre-order the 360, and trade in my psp for 175, figure i could get $190 on ebay but after fees. it would be the same.
 
How much are used PSPs at Gamerush? Also, is the 25% extra trade-in credit still going on? If it is, can you use it for a handheld (the DS in particular)? Thanks.

The extra 25% is still going on, but it does not apply to hardware, only games.
