[quote name='jms493']Will gamestop actually give you 75% if you ask?[/QUOTE]

No. Promos don't stack. It would require a manual override which doesn't happen all that often.
 
[quote name='icarusmight']Just traded in:
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.[/QUOTE]

Noooo! That other thread is like ten pages of people bitching about Gamestop, with maybe a handful of quotes sprinkled in. Let them have that thread to bitch in, and keep this thread relatively clean, please!

That reminds me, I need to pop over there and pull out the prices quoted over there. I have no problem with that thread staying separate. As you say it is full of people saying you get more here for X and Y. We get enough of that in this thread already. Granted it's not as bad as it used to be, but I would prefer to keep as much out as possible.

Also, updated lists and database.

[quote name='Dranakin']DS:
Final Fantasy IV - $7


Base.[/QUOTE]

Gamestop sells that game for $18 or $20 used now so that makes sense. Before Christmas, they sold the game for $30 and I think the TIV was a little higher. Only DS games I know of that get over $10 base are any of the Mario ones and maybe Tetris DS still.
 
[quote name='bgame2']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?[/QUOTE]

Once in a while I get a dumb GS employee that does a manual override for me to get both bonus, but it is very rare and isn't suppose to happen.

It normally happens when I go trade it in, they say you can get 25% for pre ordering(which ever new release is being promoted) I then say no thanks, I get more for the other bonus.

No they stack, let me ring you up, and he does an override.

Sadly the 2 guys that used to do that, no longer work at Gamestop, I can only assume that is the reason they are no longer there.

It's because you call them dumb.

No, GS keeps all the other dumb employees that don't make mistakes in my favor.

Microsoft or 3rd party 'gamepad'? i used to buy/trade controllers all the time, sucks knowing it's impossible to trade/replace them for little cost anymore.
 
TIVs:

Rock Band Country track pack 2 (360) $6.00
Splatterhouse (360) $16.00

ended up picking up You Don't Know Jack new. Not a bad trade off. Especially since I only paid roughly $30 for Splatterhouse and Rock Band track pack 2 which i mainly bought to just transport the songs to RB3.

:)

I was just thinking about trading in my copy of Batman: Brave and the Bold for the Nintendo Wii that I bought at Target for $15 last week. Good thing I called ahead for a TiV quote. Here's what I got:

:wii: Batman: Brave and the Bold - $7.00 (drop of $5.00)

Looks like it's going on Goozex.

I doubt it's still $25. That might have been what the value was after the 50% bonus.

2/11
PS3 Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit $17
PS3 Fallout: New Vegas $12
 
All Base Values as of 2/11/11

Beautiful Katamari - $8
Blur - $10
Call of Duty: World at War - $6
Halo Wars - $8
Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe - $7
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - $5

Total with the extra 60% (and minus the $3 refurb fee : /) was $104.20

Not too bad of a deal seeing as I originally paid around that much for all of those games anyways! Paid off Killzone 3 in full and have enough to finish off my Dragon Age II preorder.

It really depends on the employee who is helping you. They will probably test a game with the system but depending on the employee, they may see if all the buttons work or not.
