[Canada] Trade 4 for Halo 3 or Trade 4 + $10 + tax for Halo 3: CE at Blockbuster

Wow, we still have what, a good 8 months until this game comes out, and they're already taking pre-orders?

Bah, they would have to pay me to get that game.

Says a user with the username "imcrazy" :lol:

Is it worth doing this now? Also is that at all blockbusters?

It's only at the trade-in locations. Go to BlockBuster's Canadian website and check the store locations. Only some accept trade-ins.

Anyway, I'm waiting to find out what exactly is different from the Collector's and Legendary editions. If Collector's gets all the same bonus content but no helmet, I'll go with it. If Legendary gets more content as well... then I don't know =(

Maybe Microsoft will give a free copy of the Legendary Edition for beta testers who submit a lot of reports? =)

I went to my local Blockbuster which said the trade in value had to be 14.99, not the resale value. That knocks like 90% of the games out that I could've used.

They read the deal wrong. I had this happen to me the last time they ran a promotion like this. Try calling another store that does trades in your area.....the resale value has to be higher then $14.99 which means a trade in value of like $8. The last time they ran this deal the resale was $14.99 and higher so you could get away with games that traded in for $6.

Just did this today with Scarface, Amped 3, The Outfit, and PGR3

Amped 3 would've been $24 by itself :O

Is there a list of block buster trade in values somewhere?

Well I took in my xbox games collection to see how many copies of Halo 3 I could get. Their computers will only allow one pre-order per account. The computer will however allow you to pre-order one collector's edition and one non-collector's edition. (which is what I did)

I was at blockbuster last month and both Day of Reckoning 2 for the gamecube and Smackdown vs Raw 2006 for the ps2 had tivs of 8$

Anyone know how long the promotion is running for???

I dunno Caro, but your BBV was wrong... I just traded in the following yesterday:

XBX King of Fighters Neowave - $6 TIV
GCN Batallion Wars - $8
XBX T.M.N.T. 2 Mutant Melee - $8
360 College Hoops 2K6 - $10
+$10 + tax

for Halo 3: CE.
They just need a resell value of $14.99, not a trade in value of $8.

this promo is suppose to end next weekend according to signs in store. (april 1)
