You were looking at the wrong value for Ryse--$2.40 is the cash value while $3 is for credit: http://www.gamestop.com/trade/quote/xbox-one/games/ryse-son-of-rome/112135Yes. Supposedly the game has to be worth at least $2.50. I traded Ryse which was $2.40 base and Tearaway Unfolded yesterday. Still got the $10 bump. Rang up as $5 bump per game.
I even said to the girl if it doesn't give me the $10 bump I would just trade Tearaway. She said it should be fine.
So YMMV.
