[quote name='JP']Sorry about the lack of update yesterday. Customer fileserver went down at about 5:30, didn't get done with it until around 2AM. I'll update late this evening.[/QUOTE]
OMG DO IT RIGHT NOW.

Seriously, I was just thinking how awesome it is that you keep it maintained. Thanks dude.
 
[quote name='chris116']Trades as of Today, 12-16-10. Base value at Gamestop.

Assasin's Creed - PS3 - $2.50
Assasin's Creed 2 - PS3 - $5.00
CJ[/QUOTE]

These kind of popped out - Amazon's offering $9.50 and $12 for AC and AC2, respectively. Even after all of the bonuses at GS, it seems like Amazon is the better deal. On PS2 games, Amazon is only a little better (and sometimes a little worse) depending on how rare the game is, but the extra like $6-7 for both ACs might have tipped me to send all the games to them anyway.
 
Did some trade-ins this morning. Annoying that the 50% bonus trade-in value didn't kick in and I had to get it re-rung up to get my correct bonus back.

Lastest TiV:
:360: Tropico 3 $5
:gc: Teen Titans $1.50
:gc: Starfox Adventures $1.25
:gc: Donkey Konga 2 $1.25
:360: Rock Band Metal Track Pack $2
:360: Karoake Revolution American Idol $2.50
:360: Rock Band Track Pack Vol. 2 $1.50
:360: AC/DC Rock Band Track Pack $1
 
Is the 50% offer still active?
Because I see only mention on their site of the 10% and so on as the offer being currently active; but the OP says till December 19.

I got the 50% bonus without any trouble today, but it was at a new store and they still had the B2G1 sale, so it might not be valid at all GSs.

From today:
:ps3: White Knight Chronicles = $7.00 (down $1.00 from 12/15)
:ds: Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 = $8.00 (no change)

I really didn't want to be this guy, but what the hell! No one should have to do your damn math. I guess I'm not surprised because if you can't read the OP, you probably can't add.
 
[quote name='tbassett']was offered:
3d Dot Game Heroes (PS3) - $5
Crackdown 2 (360) - $5

said no thanks on both.[/QUOTE]

$5 credit for 3D dot game heroes is a travesty

:/

Lets all try to get along, OK. I would rather have updates then no updates or someones bad math. I will translate as seen below. It will be easy to convert since he told us he got 60% bonus so just divide the reported amounts by 1.6

Base Values

PS3
iconps3.gif

Gran Turismo 5- $24.00
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood-$23.00 (I question this one though since someone said it fell to $22 lately)
Alien Vs. Predator - $6.00

360
iconxbox360.gif

Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands- $5.00
Halo Reach- $17.00

P.S. I understand why your so angry shifty (being a Lions Fan). That's even worse than being a Vikings fan (me).

Haha. I would have to agree with you. Living in Minnesota, it's sad to see the Vikings' fans around here.
 
I have quite a few games i have been looking to trade in. The thing is, i have been trying to wait for the trade 3/extra $10, trade 6/extra $20 promo that i've seen before. Anyone think this promo might return anytime soon? or should i go ahead and get the 50% trade in bonus?

I wouldn't trade anything in right now with the values as they are. I am betting most will go up after this promo ends since nearly every value went down a few dollars for all the games.

What the hell are you talking about I copied it exactly off of the receipt. Didn't have to do the math. Its on paper.
 
Base TIVs from today (Dec. 18th):

:360: Prince of Persia - 1.50
:360: Cars - 3.00

:360: Viva Pinata: Party Animals - 1.50

Those are some pretty pathetic TIVs, even from Gamestop, but with the extra 60% from the current promo and Edge, I still made out ok.

He's just saying that normally, we post the base TiV's, i.e. before the promo. Makes it easier for jp to enter it into the site's system.

I got lucky! My GS had the TIV for black ops listed as 30 (on the wall). A cool manager was working and told me that it was their mistake and they would honor it! (I didn't even complain! They just honored it on their own). With the 60%, I got 48 in credit.

the receipt used to tell you the base value, now it doesn't. so I think we all could give a little slack when it's clear someone's only trying to be helpful.
 
[quote name='flameo2000']anyone know how much a 20 gig 360 goes for nowadays?[/QUOTE]

The hard-drive alone goes for about 10 w/ Edge card. And system goes for around 45 to 50 something with a wireless control. I traded in 2 systems with the $25 dollar deal. One died on me and got 40ish for it, while the working one I got about 70 for. I traded in my spare hard-drive a bit later on that week. It is't needed when trading the system in though.

How much/how did you get it from BB for low enough to where $16 trade in would result in profit?

You need the charger (and battery). That's all they require.
