[quote name='diddy310']They're still doing the 20 dollars in store? It looks like they dropped all of the games down to normal values on the trade in website.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Both Mario & Sonic Olympics games are $10 now (at least at Dealtree). And they were yesterday before Velo took them to Best Buy. So they still honor the higher prices in store?

Anyway, some GS trades from 9/6:

:wii:
Godfather - $6
Scarface - $6

:360:
Burnout Paradise - $5
Tom Clancy's HAWX - $7
Tony Hawk Proving Ground - $2.50

$49.15 for the lot with Edge + $20 bonus. Not bad at all considering the 360 games were neglected $6.99 prepack stock at a BBV that I bought on the last day of the B1G1 sale. I figured if no one bought them after 2+ months of sitting there, including 2 weeks at B1G1, that they were fair game! (And in case you are not familiar with BBV lingo, "prepack" means disc-only games in clear cases that are all sold at one price, either $6.99 or $9.99 - luckily the GS clerk didn't hit them with refurb fees for being disc-only!).

Just squeaked by with that THPG... Had some more games been up to date in the OP (not blaming JP at all, just the rest of CAG for not reporting them ;)) I probably could have gotten 6-8 more prepacks. Oh, yeah, and :wii: Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader Game Time is $5. That was my backup game that will be used in a future trade.

You do realize with the current promo and trading in groups of 5, each game gets an extra $4, putting that at $9. Just saying.

EDIT: Updated lists and database.

Since when does Gamestop match other stores trade-in prices? That was something Gamecrazy used to do (oh, how I miss that - used to bring in the super-high Blockbuster quotes and get GC credit + 5% for them...).
 
GS TIV's as of 9/7/2010
:360: Jurassic: The Hunted - $9
:360: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena - $3
:360: Star Wars the Clone Wars: Republic Heroes - $6

I think it is something they are doing for Best Buy only since they just did that big in-store push. I don't think it's all regions either, just ones tagged by GameStop Corporate that has an in-store Best Buy program running nearby.
 
X360:

Rock Band 2 - $6
Gun - $3
Lego Star Wars: Original Trilogy - $5
Rock Band AC/DC - $2.50
The Simpsons Game - $6

They checked Banjo: Nuts and Bolts. It was 6 but held off trading it. Haven't beat it yet.

Made 40 and some change after promo. Sold Marvel vs Capcom PS2 for 22 to a local pawn shop today as well. Got myself a paid off copy of Rock Band 3 awaiting!

PS Updated the database with these too!

Thanks! I was about to start updating those but decided to check the TIV Queue and there they were. Always nice to see that.

I finally remembered that I forgot to do something before starting to convert the PS2 list. I was wanting to get everyone's thoughts on the new listing style for the current-gen consoles before I moved onto the other lists. That listing style I like but not sure if others do, and especially if it's causing longer than normal load times for mobile users.

They also did things like massive bumps (50/60%) when the program was in test at Best Buy's in Texas last year at Gamestop stores near those BB stores.

:360: The Godfather - $3

I remember that. Caused some confusion at one point because one time it was after their promo they had nationwide, 50% extra on all game trades. People reporting it was/wasn't still going on.
 
So while in my local GS yesterday looking for a game I saw the employees had an information packet on the counter they were looking through about their PowerUp program. Asked them about it and they said it will be starting nationwide in early October (the 4th I think, not sure). What was even more interesting is that they said that all trade ins and purchase made since the program was announced a few months back will be retroactive, meaning we will be getting the points for them! Hope they were right about that, would be very cool.

My local stores just started this program and as far as I know they have no intention of being retroactive. The site (www.poweruprewards.com) still has the wording "beta" in the logo. I am not sure when they will consider the program officially announced. I did get double points for my Birthday...In less than 2 weeks I have about 40,000 points which is 10,000 short of the highest reward. :bouncy:

9.50 for a disc only game I paid 5.45 for is okay with me.:D
 
I have a question about this 3/5 promo. Do you get the extra $ when you trade in accessories as well? or is it games only? Because I'm on Xbox # 3 and I wouldn't mind some extra cash for trading in all these extra cables and power cords...

yeah, hopefully they get that powerup pro national soon, cuz i would love to earn points for used games online i buy and to be able to use my 10%off used games online again.
yeah i was shocked they matched bestbuy's tivs, even more today because bestbuy lowered all the tivs so i was very lucky.

dragon age ps3 - 10.00
ncaa basketball 2010 - ps3 - 5.00

ncaa basketball 2010 - 5.00

i got 100 first day, and 88today (+10%edge that manager didnt put on 5th) woot

[/QUOTE]

I asked a store about it and they told me that it won't be coming around my area until late December.
 
Going to go give it a shot with Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics to see if I can get the 20, either way, i'll make out pretty well since the copy is from the BBV B1G1.
 
[quote name='rp71284']Considering that Ultimate is now out (your game + DLC + another game), I'd get whatever you can now. You'll never get a higher value than right now, even though it's probably a week or 2 too late anyway.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, good point. Maybe I'll do Amazon then.
 
BASE TIV Today:

Metroid: Other M 25.00 (33.75 Bonus 25%+Edge towards Move)
Valkyria Chronicles 2 12.00 (16.20 Bonus 25%+Edge Towards Move)
Civ Rev (360) 8.00 (10.80 Bonus 25%+Edge Towards Move)
 
Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics - 13.00

They probably did ring up Velo's summer one twice.

Can't find where I put my reciept for the ones I did trade, but got 50.50 for Boom Blox, Rainbow Six Vegas PS3, Blazblue PS3, Star Wars TFU PS3, and one other PS3 game that I can't remember - not too bad.
 
Just got back from a Gamestop, confirmed/updated TIV as of today:

Xbox360:
*Condemned 2: Bloodshot - 2.50
Qubed - 2.50
Wanted: Weapons of Fate - 4.00
Sonic the Hedgehog - 4.00
Assassin's Creed - 2.50

Wii:
Red Steel - 2.50
*Medal of Honor: Vanguard - 3.00
*Donkey Kong Barrel Blast - 8.00
*Bleach: Shattered Blade - 7.00
Resident evil 4 - 5.00
 
[quote name='Scholarly_Sam']Is the trade 5 for $20 extra considered a good promo? I'm considering unloading like 40 or so games to get either a PS3 Slim or Kinect.[/QUOTE]

For cheap games yes, for brand new games no.

For games in the $12-$18 range, you take the risk of either 1) taking advantage of the promo and just getting ~$5 on top of the TIV or 2) waiting for another percentage promo where you can get $4+ per game. It's really up to you.

This is what I always do. Most promos are around 25%. If a game doesn't have a $16 TIV, I use it for the tiered/cash promos. If a game is over that $16 range, I use it for one of the 25% promos.
 
[quote name='lilbrad333']umm can someone pls answer my question i really need it, Can u trade in ps2 games for the current promotions[/QUOTE]

Please read the OP, as the restrictions are clearly listed for each promo.

Unfortunately there are many who would rather people just TELL them what the current deals are without having to actually read or do any work towards finding out for themselves. It's become sort of the norm on CAG as of late where people ask the same crap incessantly until someone just cut/pastes them the answer they seek.

Even typing in gamestop.com on their browser, waiting for that to load, then clicking on 'trade-in offers' is too hard of a concept for people to grasp.

Speaking of trade offers, it would appear I'm going to have to use the 25% trade bonus dealie towards Dead Rising 2 to cash out the games I got yesterday since the tiered deal is limited to only the three main consoles.:bomb:

Seeing as how you said you've gone to the website, did you see it mention you can trade PS2 games towards the current tiered promo? If not, there's your answer.

I assume you also read the other promo for games that gives you 25% extra credit towards certain games(Dead Rising 2, etc). Did that say anywhere that PS2 games were excluded? If not, there is your answer.

I don't know how much clearer they could write the trade promos out so people would stop asking questions that're already answered in the wording for the promo.
