Traded in my 500GB Xbox One for $240 and received 4800 points. Guessing it's 10 points per $1 spent? If so it was doubled.

On a side note, glad I did it yesterday, I see it tanked overnight 

 

[Miami Flash15]

base value for credit has dropped to $150 ($190 with PUR coupon)

base value for credit is still $200 ($240 with PUR coupon)

I snoozed on this deal. Congrats to everyone who got to upgrade their consoles for a fair price!

Wednesdays = drops

Fridays = bumps

I saved a couple of the values from late last night. What are the odds they'll honor the $200 valuation I have saved?!?

where's the smiley with the biggest laugh...

 

[Bobby's World]

Damn $150 base for the that hurts lol

Wrong. They are still associating a worth with it.

 

[sp00ge]

PS4 - New Cost = $350   Used Cost = $320   TIV = $200    

XB1 - New Cost = $300   Used Cost = $270   TIV = $150

Difference               $50                          $50              $50

Nice try at the PS4 fanboy trolling.  MSRP dictates all in this case.

Defective items may be eligible for trade at a lesser value. Trade subject to manager approval. Cannot be combined with any other offer. See store associate for details.

 

[bengi15]

the Wednesday curse again...

 

[lusal]

Wow.   They really tanked a lot of values.  A lot of things I was willing to trade toward PlayStation VR.

Not any more!

 

[100xp]

I guess I'm not getting a white xbox in april...wow that dropped fast.

 

[Kevlar338]

I think I've figured out how the 2x points works. Before it was 20 pts per 1$ on trades and pre owned purchases and 10 pts per 1$ on new items. Now it's 20 points per 1$ on new items and 20 points per 1$ on trades/ pre owned purchases. So really only 2x points on what you used to get for new purchases if that is the case.

 

[srehmat02]

dang I was even willing to trade my 1TB X1 for $240 trade credit, guess I will ebay it.

Has anybody traded towards the VR yet, if so how much they make you put down?

 

[209chromatic]

I believe it's $100 minimum.

 

[FatBoyInside]

I believe a $100 minimum on the VR headset @ Gamestop for pre-order. (thx, 247)

Thanks, I have something to trade in towards it for the bump and was just wondering.

and I can use my existing trade credit for that $100 right?

You sure can.

I got about 168 for my vita slim and a couple Redbox games and Hdmi cords . I already had $100 down but just decided to put everything towards it, but I had the option to put any amount .I'm a little half there and figure if I need to make a purchase I'll just move what ever balance over to a gift card in store.

Did the 20% extra stack with your Vita trade in? I thought consoles were excluded?

 

[iduncurr]

Come on, you guys had to have known they were gonna tank in the xbox one especially if it's retailing for $299.

Nah, there's these people every week that think gs isn't going to tank values on Wednesday.

 

[chrome3333]

They added surveys and changed the video system drastically if you wanted bonus points.

So are you guys flipping the VR Headsets or going to use them? I am curious but would like to demo it first before deciding. I'm not spending $400+ on it since I spent $100+ on Playstation Move items and only played 5 games with them.

 

[coolrust]

do you guys know where in the bay area takes retro like xbox?

If you are uncertain calling each store should be easy enough.

I mean it couldn't have anything to do with the $50 price drop sale could it? Nah that's crazy logical thinking.

 

[ThatOneGuyWho]

Going to trade in 3x Until Dawn for $18.70 but might trade it in towards the PSVR for the extra 20%. I'll just cancel the pre-order and get something else down the road. The limit is 4 copies right?

I know 3 is safe for sure.

 

[lusal]

Wouldn't the last day of the extra 20% toward PSVR promotion be the best day to trade in (March 25th)?  It's a Friday...and they're generally prone to bumps in trade values.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

someone mentioned that you have to put $100 down toward psvr?

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

Yeah $100 minimum. There was a trade in bump last week so there most likely won't be another one for a few weeks.

 

[Diabhalla]

Yeah $100 minimum. There was a trade in bump last week so there most likely won't be another one for a few weeks.

Luckily anyone with a preorder will have a few months to find some decent trades for the rest of the $400.

 

[godofwar7]

TiV Bonuses for preorders work on existing preorders?

 

[kickrockz713]

I went to GS to trade my controller in towards PS VR and was going to cancel later next week. Now for some reason, I kind of want to keep the damn preorder and get it.

If nothing else, you could keep using the preorder to get the 20% boost and cancel in October or whenever.

 

[ritchardf]

the boost ends on 3/25

Ah I didn't see a date, I was told it was supposed to go all the way.

Can dump 4x XBone power supplies every 5 weeks for +$60, assuming the 20% bonus remains in place until the VR releases. That'll cover a lot of the cost.

Not a bad option. This is the first time in awhile I'm low on trade fodder and credit. I haven't used cash in awhile. Has anyone moved credit off a preorder to make a purchase i.e. eBay card? I should've put $50 down and kept some on a card for flips. Live and learn

 

[Virtua]

Do they ban for trading those Xbox one power supplies? Do they ever deny them for being generic?

 

[chriscolbert]

So that list for the  MLB The Show trade-in bump is mostly predictable, but I'm guessing RotTR for the XB1 isn't eligible?  It's just weird seeing the 360 version on the list and not the XB1 version.

Last promo flooded the stores with copies of it for XB1. Not many used copies of it for 360 though.

 

[Kyle1022]

For the recent PUR coupon that says "Get an extra $20 when trading in a N3DS, Wii U, or Vita," does that work for cash? It doesn't mention cash or credit anywhere on the coupon.

Credit only probs.

Read the legal section of the coupon.

It says "See associate for details"

It's for credit only.

Yeah, it's kind of a weird list because some of those are more than $25 in trade value. It's like the promo is to get less credit if you buy something.

You'll get the highest value
