More EB trade-in offers

[D4rkewolfe]

This offer is B&M only and it is still trade 4 games, unlike its online counterpart.

Offer only mentions that they come out on 3/04 so perhaps the offer will end on that date for these games.

MTX Mototrax (XBox, PS2) MSRP $49.99
Tenchu: Return from Darkness (XBOX) MSRP $49.99 [also coupon in EGM p. 53 issue 177]
Silent Scope Complete for (XBOX) MSRP $39.99
Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (GC) MSRP $39.99
Final Fantasy XI (PS2) $49.99 MSRP $99.99
Driv3r (XBOX, PS2) MSRP $49.99
Metal Gear: The Twin Snakes offer still going on (GC) MSRP $39.99 (In the original EB booklet MGS has an MSRP of 49.99, stating trade 4 and get $50 credit, which is why some are able to put $40 + tax towards the game, and keep the rest)

Offer must be a pre-purchase (therefore should only be valid until the game comes out, though sometimes it isn't always the case)

Pokemon: Colosseum & Free Bonus Disc (GC) MSRP $49.99
Ninja Gaiden & Free Scroll [Free Scroll YMMV] (XBOX) MSRP $49.99

Resident Evil Outbreak (PS2) coupon in EGM p. 19 issue 177 MSRP $49.99
Seven Samurai 20XX (PS2) coupon in EGM p. 127 issue 177 MSRP $49.99

Same exclusions, same rules we all know. As always try the offer with other employees, if they know you they'll accept them. I know one guy who accepts my Havens and such, just cause he knows I tend to shop there (not lately though...they've been pre-purchases thanks to trade-ins heh heh).

I went to Princeton, NJ EBgames and asked specifically about this deal and the guy told me its slightly different now. You can still trade in 4 games for a game BUT now you have to pay $10 in addition. Looking at my cheapass games that might very well end up working out for me. However... big however... he showed me the official exclusions list. On the cover it says 'Effective February 1st' with official looking EB logos and such. This list included EVERY CC/Target/TRU/insert store name here sub-$10-$15 game I could remember being listed on this site. So either each store is making up their own rules or some people are mistaken. I think its more along the lines of each store, so as others have said probably which I'm too lazy to look up, YMMV

I guess it's gonna really boil down to just going through those lists with a fine tooth comb and just find the cheap games they missed.

I noticed that on neither the XBOX or PS2 exclusion lists was Superman:Man of Steel or Superman countdown to Apokolips. Those games both sucked and I've seen them go used in some places for like between $8 and 10 bucks.

Those eb suckers are gonna really make us work for our freebies now!

EDIT: I also see that on the PS2 list at least, none of the "Army Men" crap games are on there (except for Portal Runner). Like Air Attack 2, Green Rogue or Sarge's Heroe's 2. You can find those games VERY cheap.
