[quote name='esalw822']GS weekly sales always end on Monday. New weekly sales start on Tuesday. Although promtions like the Spring Sale sometimes start on the standard Sunday cycle that most other retailers use. I actually don't mind the GS Tues-Mon cycle because it overlaps with two potential sales/promo weeks of places like BB.
Also, yeah, the used price of MW3 should drop back down to $37.99 once the spring sale promotion starts on Sunday, so you should at least have that day to try to flip back to GS with the extra 50% bonus (like you said though, that's assuming the TIV holds)...[/QUOTE]Thanks for the clarification--at least this info will be good to have in the future.
I have a decision I have to make now, though, and I'd appreciate any advice for what I should do:
a) Wait until Sunday when MW3 used will hopefully be $37.99 again, get that as my free game, and trade it back in for $33.60.
b) Say "screw it" and get some other game to keep as my free game--namely, the used copy of
Tales of the Abyss 3ds
in apparently excellent condition (based on what the employee on the phone told me) that another GS is holding for me until tomorrow night.
If I go with option (a), I'll just pick up the used TotA for about $27 using the 20% off used games coupon and my PUR discount, though I run the risk of someone grabbing it before Sunday unless I go earlier, but I'd prefer to use the credit from trading in MW3 to pay for it. Also, there's obviously the risk that the TIV for MW3 will lower by Sunday, in which case I'll have waited for nothing.
If I go with (b), I can pick up TotA tomorrow, but I'll have potentially missed out on maybe $6-$7 extra credit.
...Wow, after typing that, I should probably go with (b), huh? Guaranteed like-new TotA tomorrow vs. possible $6-$7 profit and possible TotA Sunday?
