Yeah, whatever you think about gamestop, JP has really been on top of updating this thread and doing a lot for the community. Go vote for him, he deserves it!
 
I thank you guys for the thought, but I'm sure there are more deserving individuals on the forums.
 
[quote name='JP']Info I received today.[/QUOTE]

Little more info from an email I just got from Gamestop:

Starting Friday, February 11, through Sunday, March 6, get an extra 50% trade-in credit* on any games you trade at any GameStop store.

And, because you’re a PowerUp Rewards member, you get access a whole day earlier than everyone else!

So, on Thursday, February 10, bring your games to any GameStop store, present your PowerUp Rewards card to activate your trade bonus, and get even more for your trades – even sooner!
 
[quote name='Munny1212']Anyone know if they accept Street Fighter 4 fightpads for a trade-in?[/QUOTE]

There is no SKU for it so it would just be taken in at whatever the value for a wired 360 controller is, which is less than $10. You'd be much better off selling online somewhere since the Mad Catz fightpads are now discontinued (the new one for MvC 3 is not a Mad Catz one and is different as it has an analog stick instead of an oversized D-Pad.)
 
[quote name='FireWarrior']so the promo only applies to PowerUp Rewards members? damn[/QUOTE]

For the first day on Thursday, Friday is open to everyone if I read it correctly.

[quote name='Irukandji']Ouch[/QUOTE]
??

23 + 50%(bonus) + 10%(power up) = 36.80

Considering that you are able to buy the game at 42 bucks new from Amazon. Doesn't seem that bad.
 
As of 2/10

All for 360:

Force Unleashed 2: $17
Fable 3: $22
Family Game Night 3: $12
Family Game Night: $7
GTA IV: $5
Black Ops: $25
Monopoly Streets: $12

Ended up with $160 after 60% promo.

I'm sorry to be the obvious question guy, but if I go to GS today and upgrade my Edge card to the PowerUp Pro program I should be able to get the 50% extra credit correct?
 
[quote name='UberSwiss']I'm sorry to be the obvious question guy, but if I go to GS today and upgrade my Edge card to the PowerUp Pro program I should be able to get the 50% extra credit correct?[/QUOTE]

Yep, just did this myself.
 
[quote name='Jello1996']Yep, just did this myself.[/QUOTE]

Thanks. Just got back from there and worked like a charm, however, I was upset that I was forced to renew it even though my edge card said it expires through 2/11.

Bioshock 2: $5
Madden NFL 2011: $20
Halo Wars: $8

Animal Crossing: $7

I ended up getting $182.40
 
50% trade up doesn't take away from the fact that you still have to pay MSRP for anything and everything at GameStop. I'll still do my trade-ins via amazon or goozex.
 
[quote name='Darknuke']50% trade up doesn't take away from the fact that you still have to pay MSRP for anything and everything at GameStop. I'll still do my trade-ins via amazon or goozex.[/QUOTE]

Not if you are buying used games. I wouldn't buy anything new from GS unless you are looking for exclusives.
 
[quote name='Darknuke']50% trade up doesn't take away from the fact that you still have to pay MSRP for anything and everything at GameStop. I'll still do my trade-ins via amazon or goozex.[/QUOTE]

But then again, many people have been complaining about NorAm (the distributor that handles Amazon's trade ins) damaging their games. And Goozex is far from perfect. As douchy as many of the employees are at Gamestop I have never had one outright break one of my games when I traded it in. If you can take advantage of the trade-in offers then you can get better deals from Gamestop than those other sources right up front. I got more from them for games like Fable 3 and Black Ops ($40!) recently than people would be willing to even pay me on here or eBay.
 
Had to run out and take advantage of that Madden 11 price :D

Couple other values before/after 50% + 10%

Resonance of Fate (360) $11.00 > $17.60 (more than I paid Newegg for it)
Divinity II (360) $6.00 > $9.60


[quote name='Darknuke']50% trade up doesn't take away from the fact that you still have to pay MSRP for anything and everything at GameStop. I'll still do my trade-ins via amazon or goozex.[/QUOTE]

That's why I just buy MS points there, which are rarely buyable under MSRP anyway.
 
[quote name='Darknuke']50% trade up doesn't take away from the fact that you still have to pay MSRP for anything and everything at GameStop. I'll still do my trade-ins via amazon or goozex.[/QUOTE]

so you're saying when I buy used games at buy 2 get 1 free, and then trade them in with a 60% bonus.. I'm paying MSRP for anything and everything and not making out well?

mmkay.

Yeah I got screwed the one time I did Amazon's trade in thing so I refuse now to do it or Best Buy online because of NorAm. I've heard of people locally here in STL having to wait 30 minutes to trade in at Best Buy stores so that seems to be out also.

For Goozex it takes a minimum of 4-6 months to get any new console release. I was in the top 10 of the queue for NHL 11 when it came out in Sept. and I just now got it this week. Plus that site is dying from lack of trades of recent stuff. It's awesome to get older stuff or portable stuff (1/2 to 2/3 of my PSP UMD collection has been from Goozex) but for anything recent on consoles I hope you have a lot of patience.
 
[quote name='shiftymcneely']TIV from today

360

COD Black Ops - $25[/QUOTE]
Jesus are you kidding me? Looks like I have to make a trip to GS tomorrow. and get that +50%.
 
Just traded in:

All 360 $ base TIV
Call of Duty Black Ops $25
Assasin's Creed Brotherhood $22
Singularity $8

BTW I think the other GS trade thread should be merged with this thread. I initially did not realize I posted this info into the thread where JP does not updates the prices for the tracker. Just a suggestion, carry on.

Several people have quoted 25 for cod black ops but the op still has $18 listed. Did someone post 18 today and I missed it meaning it went down or was that a mistype?
 
[quote name='skubish']Not if you are buying used games. I wouldn't buy anything new from GS unless you are looking for exclusives.[/QUOTE]

They have great prices on CEs too.

Thinking about trading in Fable III since I haven't even beaten II yet.

Typo on my part.
 
Is anyone else baffled by Gamestop's weekly email which says get 50% more trade in credit on any games traded in between now and Sunday 3/6 only to then have a weekly coupon which offers an extra 25% trade in credit on games traded towards purchasing MvC3?

Are people really that dumb or is GS that dumb?

I seen this also. If that stacks with 50% bump up and the rewards card your looking at 85% trade bonus. If it does I'll be heading to my local GS today.
