$20 for Portal 2? $25 for Sly Cooper collection? $15 for Bully? The FIRST Assassin's Creed on PS3 is getting $15?! What year is this?!

Proof since some people doubt what I say :)cry:)

[quote name='Admiral Ackbar']So I buy GoW Collection for $20. I download The Origins collection. I get 30 days free PS+. And I can trade it back into Gamestop for $22? Genius![/QUOTE]

Essentially yes.
 
[quote name='TrunksSSJ23']Is this an instore price only? Online I still see it for $19.99. And I thought you could only trade in one of the same game at the same Gamestop?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it's in-store only, like a lot of our weekly promos. I'm sure it's the same with Deus Ex ($10) and Red Faction Armageddon ($15).

We don't have many copies, but one PS3, one Xbox at two stores.
 
[quote name='mpaullin']I don't know if this is a silly question.. it probably is. Will this deal work for cash trades?[/QUOTE]

of course not
 
Keep in mind all that these are bonus trade values. So ur PUR bonus is off the regular value. I just traded Black Ops 2 and it was $42 total not $44. Not sure if this was posted yet.
 
[quote name='SInX4Lyfe']I just called gamestop and they said portal 2 goes for 9$ when traded w/out bonus..? 360 version[/QUOTE]

You have to actually go to the store and trade it and be a PUR member. It's not gonna pull up on their computer by doing a manual search for it.

Can anyone find any logical reason why the 360 version of Borderlands 2 isn't on this list? :(
 
[quote name='SInX4Lyfe']I just called gamestop and they said portal 2 goes for 9$ when traded w/out bonus..? 360 version[/QUOTE]

Don't listen to that. They have to swipe your card for the bonus, anyway. Just be sure to know what you're supposed to get before you sign.
 
I wanna wait till Sunday so I don't waste gas I.e. I'm cheap

Good luck waiting. I won't be shocked if they lower a popular game or two, like last time, during this 'guaranteed' trade in deal.

killzone Trilogy+ dual shock contoller 39.99 for Ps3 on Sunday at Best Buy flip Killzone
for 25.00 get a controller for 15 bucks not bad...

I sold that controller on ebay for $48 at the end of last week, take that FWIW.
 
Does anyone know how street pass records and DLC work with NSMB2? If I traded it in now and repurchased it at a later date, would all my content still be there? I'm so annoyed that save games are tied to cartridges and not the system memory like every other fucking platform with no easy way to back them up or transfer between systems or game copies.
 
Dang... really wish Just Cause 2 for PS3 was listed. I bought that for $15 a few months back and its still just sitting on my shelf. Would break even, but at least it'd clear some clutter.

I swing by Best Buy/Kmart for a few copies of Portal 2, though. Anarchy Reigns for $20 and some change to spare sounds good to me.

They probably have enough stock of it so no need for incentive. That's why games drop off midway.

If you loaded up on BF, you're making a killing now. Had I a chance to play the games I got, I'd be heading to GS today.

[/QUOTE]
this. i'm bringing my copy with to see if it will come up for $15. I doubt it, but i'll try and report back.
 
I have a PUR membership but it's the basic one, I basically just give them my phone number but don't get any deals (I.E I bought a game for $9.99, but for "Pro" members it was $8.99)

Would I still get the the same trade in value as listed or lower because I am not "Pro" member?
 
I saw a post earlier indicating that trading in 3 or more games might trigger the tiered promo instead of this one, so I asked the dude. He reminded me that I'll always get the deal that gives me the highest value, and he was right. 7 games, $188.90 (PUR Pro). Grabbed a couple $50 Steam codes to prepare myself for a year-end blowout on PC games.

Thanks OP!!!!! :D
 
[quote name='shadowkast']Ni No Kuni. Pay it off, sell the steelbook in February if you want[/QUOTE]

Hmm, studio ghibli, the game? Can't tell if worst idea ever or totally brilliant. Then again, I remember thinking that kingdom hearts would be the worst game ever (boy was I wrong).

On topic, tempted to go scrounge up some Alice games or something. Flipping $10 into a $20 PSN card or just more credit is very, very tempting.
 
I took alice in. I got it on pc and doubt I'll play it again anyways. I am sure I will find it cheaper later since I all ready got and redeemed the code for buying it new for the original. If I ever see it used for under 10 then I'll get it again on 360.
 
[quote name='GamingGator']Yes, it is the case. My email was for Sly collection. Thing is, they should know I had already traded that one back in to them earlier. However, I don't think I bought anything else on the list from them so they had to use something I guess.[/QUOTE]

It looks like the power up rewards site is just generating results from your Games Library (mines was for Tales of Graces F).
If that game is still on your "have" list then it probably doesn't know that you had already traded it in.

I still have an extra copy of The Sly Collection from Walmart Black Friday.
Now I'm deciding what to do, return back to Walmart for $10 cash or get $25 credit at Gamestop.
 
[quote name='T1NY']I never traded to GS before, do they give you store credit or is it cash for trades?[/QUOTE]

Depends on the store, a lot of stores in my area don't do cash anymore just credit. But for pretty much any promo unless stated otherwise, they will only work with store credit. So for cash you would only get the basic trade in values.
 
Damn, traded in LBP Karting for $25.50, Killzone Trilogy for 16.50, Dead Island GOTY for $15, all after the 50% bonus. With a couple dollars here and there could have gotten $20 more in credit if I waited.

Dammit, oh well, guess I can't be a chooser for extra credit. Thanks!
 
Max Payne 3 - $11.70
Batman Arkham City (original) - $10.40
Madden NFL 13 - $35.00
For a total of $57.10 (PS3) got Far Cry 3 for $7.09.

THANK YOU!!!
 
How much does PUR cost to join?

I buy all my games at best buy, their prices are almost always better and they pricematch anything that isnt... last time I bought a game at gamestop was like 8 or 9 years ago.
 
Sold Sly and Forza Horizon and got $60+ with that I got me a $50 steam card to buy Farcry3 and the rest went towards GTA5. AWESOME $25 turns into $60.
 
traded

1: boderlands 2 (i did not like it)

2: need for speed most wanted (its better the hot persuit one but eventually i will get this game for around $15)

3: assasins creed (meh)

4: ultimate marvel vs capcom (street frighter x tekken its much better)

5: portal 2 (i went to kmart before gamestop and buy it for 10.80 with tax and got $21 for it!)

so i have $115.60 in my account!... ok, i dont like fps shooters at all, when i bought portal 2 i opened and it included a download code for mac or pc... if you want the code, i will give it to the person who pm me first... =)

btw. when i bought portal 2 at kmart they printed a coupon that will gime me $10 in points next time i spend $35 or more... not bad :D

Original Batman: AC? I thought it had to be the GOTY edition?
 
I don't know if this has already been mention( it probably has) but you only get the 10% for Pro on the base value and not the listed values in the OP. For instance, I got the 20 for Assassins Creed Liberation, but it's base was $11 so my total was $21.10. For Kinect Sports Ultimate I got $31.40 and not $33, as the base is $14. So for those of you simply adding 10% to the total of the OP prices, you're gonna get a little less.
 
[quote name='willywonka159']Original Batman: AC? I thought it had to be the GOTY edition?[/QUOTE]

The GOTY edition is trading for 20 or 25 depending on which version you have
 
[quote name='willywonka159']Original Batman: AC? I thought it had to be the GOTY edition?[/QUOTE]

He didn't quote the promotional amount though. Only one game in his list (madden) was on the list.
 
[quote name='willywonka159']Original Batman: AC? I thought it had to be the GOTY edition?[/QUOTE]
you'll get $25 if you trade goty edition
 
[quote name='BeeDee23']can i get cash for these amounts????

No.

I would go to a pawn shop if getting cash was your goal.

I have a question. If I trade in a new seal copy to gamestop for sly collection an forza horizon, will they tear off my seal to check?
 
[quote name='ckc4043']I have a question. If I trade in a new seal copy to gamestop for sly collection an forza horizon, will they tear off my seal to check?[/QUOTE]

Pretty sure you can't trade in sealed games. You should unwrap them before going into the store (if you're certain you want to trade them in).
