Just looking for trade-in prices? Well, check out what's been reported:
GameRush Trade-In Prices Wiki
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

50% Off Sale

Edit: It looks as though more games are being added to the 50% off list on 3/25/07. Here's what jaybsooner is reporting:

[quote name='jaybsooner']Hey guys, just a head's up. Went to my local Gamerush today (03/24/07), noticed they had put a ton of the NEW games they had for sale on a side counter. The manager told me they were being added to the 50% off sale. These were new additions to the previous sale. He let me look at the list he had for his store of the pulled games. PS2, XBOX, PSP, Gamecube, and 360 were on the list, the majority of the list (about half) was original XBOX, with about 20% PS2, rest a mix of 360, Gamecube, and PSP.

Can't recite the list verbatim, but you may want to check with your local game rush, I believe the actual list may vary from store to store, based what they have in inventory.

If you want, post what titles you are interested in and I will do my best to recall if it was included on the list, but I would suggest going to you local Gamerush and scout it out today!![/QUOTE]

The prices will be listed on the price drop reports as 1 cent drops making the game prices end in .98. The 50% will be automatically deducted when the employee hits the Total button. It's very unlikely that there is any signage or changes in prices actually displayed at the stores yet.

Okay, details are still rolling in and we don't have a full list yet, but we're getting there.

FAQ (Read before you ask a question.)

Q: Are used games included?
A: No, this is only for new games.

Q: Is this sale going on at normal Blockbusters?
A: Yes, as long as it is not a franchise Blockbuster. Most Blockbusters are not franchise locations. Call your local store and ask if they are a corporate or a franchise store if you are unsure or check a past receipt to see if it says "Blockbuster Franchisee".

Q: The games are scanning at full price, is this sale for real?
A: You won't get the discount until the employee hits "Total" on the register.

Q: Do Blockbuster gift cards work at Gamerush?
A: Yes.

Q: Is this going on nationwide?
A: Yes, but see details on franchise locations above.

Q: My blockbuster employees say they don't know anything about the sale, is this sale real or happening in my area?
A: It's a good thing that they don't know and see above franchise locations information.

Q: If I ask something that is clearly laid out here in the OP, will shipwreck make fun of me?
A: Probably.

(All prices are after the 50% off discount.)

[quote name='Lord Alfred']As far as I was told, it is on new games only, and is 50% off the marked price. The list was also laying on the back counter and I perused it. The list of games are for the PS2, GameCube, Xbox, PSP, and Xbox360. There are no DS games.

I wrote down the Xbox360 games since I thought those would be the most interesting. There were not many PSP games and the ones on the list were not very exciting. So without further ado, the Entire Xbox360 50% Off GameRush Listing:

Dead Rising $59.99
Disney's Cars
Enchanted Arms
Eragon
Fifa 06
History Channel Civil War
Just Cause $49.99

Older News:
Confirmed: All non-Next Gen game rentals are 2 for $10.

Okay, here's the price drops from this week (that I can remember):

Pokemon Trozei $19.99 New

:ps3:
Sony Six-Axis Controller $39.99 New (Not a price drop, but $10 cheaper than MSRP)

System Watch:

Some GameRushes have PS3's on their incoming shipping reports as arriving on Tuesday, December 5th. One of the local stores that actually received Wii's will receive 1 (One) PS3 ($600 Version) tomorrow. No firm reports on when the next shipment of Wii's will arrive.

Random News:

In a really strange turn of events, GameRush actually pulled a lot of PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube games from Previously Played status and put them back up on the wall to rent. There are still plenty of used games for sale, but I thought this was an interesting move on Blockbuster's part.




Random Tip
FIFA 2007 for the Xbox 360 is currently listed at $40 new ($60 everywhere else). If you pre-order it and pay for it in full now, you should be able to pick it up when it releases and save yourself $20.


Price Drops for previous weeks (what was in inventory at the store I went to)

Kingdom Hearts II (PS2) - $29.99 New

Reported Trade-In Prices

Trade-In Price Wiki
 
Woah...NEW 360 games on clearance? Nice...I wish a NHL game was there, but I should be picking up a few with my credit.

Anyone know what Dead Rising and GRAW gets in trade?

Out of the list, I may want these (depending on price)
History Channel Civil War (never even really heard much about this, but I like FPS war games)
Just Cause $49.99 ($25 still may be TOO much for this)
Lego Star Wars II
Marvel Ultimate Alliance $59.99
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 $54.99
World Series of Poker
XBLA Unplugged
 
I am waiting to see what they have for Cube and PS2 clearance! Hoping it is up here before noon when I head out to the local Gamerush.
 
Wow Dead Rising for $30 is a great deal. The other games don't seem very good. I wonder if my store will have any copies.
 
[quote name='Indiana']Wow Dead Rising for $30 is a great deal. The other games don't seem very good. I wonder if my store will have any copies.[/QUOTE]

Well, keep in mind that there might be additional games on the list that were not in stock at Lord Alfred's GameRush and thus, not on the clearance list that he saw.

I was hoping to head out there over lunch to see if I could snag the list, but I just had a meeting scheduled over lunch, so I won't be able to get out there until later.
 
[quote name='happyorangeman']I would like to pick up Viva Pinata...also, this is not on 50% off USED games right? Just making sure.[/QUOTE]

Nope, the 50% off only applies towards new games.
 
It's correct ??

Enchanted Arms MRSP $40 = $20 after 50% off
N3: Ninety Nine Nights MSRP $30 = $15 after 50% off
XBLA Unplugged MSRP $30 = $15 after 50% off
............................
 
I just got back from my local GR and they had no 50% off any 360 games. Alot of 1 cent price drops and the only two priced different were Just Cause for 34.99 and Godfather for 39.99, both new.
 
The Game Rush in Palm Bay had 4 bins filled by the register. This is what I can remember seeing at the 50% SALE (price is after 50%):

PS2:

Guitar Hero 2 (game only/24.99)
Call Of Duty 3
Destroy All Humans 2
Ape Escape 3 (7.50)
We Love Katamari (15)
Activision 2600 Classics

XBOX:

SuperMan
Capcom Classics
Eragon
Tomb Raider Legend

GameCube:

Metroid Prime ($5)
SpongeBob Lights Camera Pants (7.50) (all other Spongebob except latest also 50%)
Zelda Windwalker
Need For Speed 2
Ice Age 2


X360:

everything on above list
Over G (or something/it's a flying game/did not see on previous list)
XBOX Arcade is $15 after discount

PSP:

The GodFather
Reel Fishing
Untold Legends 2
Star Wars Lethal Alliance
... pretty much all the crappy PSP games are 50%

Did you ask anyone? Maybe they are slow putting up signage.
 
[quote name='doubledown']Did you ask anyone? Maybe they are slow putting up signage.[/quote]

Yeah, I talked to the guy behind the desk and he showed me his list and it did represent just 1 cent price drops and he even called another GR and they didn't know anything about it either. The 1 cent price drops were pretty much the whole list that was posted last night minus a few of them. This also follows what my other GR told me yesterday when the lady there looked for this in her book. I have two GR with in 10 minutes of me so I was really excited for this.

[quote name='Masterkyo']It's correct ??

............................[/QUOTE]

XBLA unplugged is $39.99 MSRP there I believe. Sorry your right it's 29.99 now. And only $15 after the discount.

Do you know if your GR's are corporate stores or franchise? I wonder if it makes a difference on this sale.
 
The price drops will show up as a lot of 1 cent drops on the list. It isn't until after the employee hits total that the 50% is taken off.

I'll add this to the OP. Oh, and the sale is definitely going on as I just got back.
 
Ok, I just talked to my other GR and they said that the sale is on and yes I had those other ones scanned. I was there right when they opened so I wonder if that made a diff? I'm off to the one up the street and I'll report what I find.

Very true - the employees were being told to hit the total key after scanning every 50% game.
 
[quote name='SteveMcQ']Indiana, if you find out whether these are good in Indy locations as well, I'd love to know. Thanks.[/QUOTE]

Sure I plan to head out at lunch to see if I can find Dead Rising.

Scanning is not enough.

I know I've already said this, but I'm sure it's going to be needed to be repeated constantly so:


Have the Employees Hit the "TOTAL" Button to get the 50% off Price
 
Sweet, hopefully we get a full list soon with PRICES too...that would be nice. I know my store seems hit or miss. I'll stop after work here since I'm already doing lunch. Then I'll hit up another one later this week when I return my DVD's in-store.
 
I'm an idiot and forgot to make a list, so this is partial at best. That said, I've got a few more titles to contribute...

Cube:
Super Mario Sunshine ($10)
Viewtiful Joe ($5)
Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction ($15)

PS2:
Jak 3 ($10)
Jak Combat Racing ($10)
Ratchet: Deadlocked ($10)
Destroy All Humans 2 ($20)

Does the XBLA disc basically unlock the games or do you HAVE to have the disc in to play these games.

Loco Roco...wow, the list keeps getting better.
 
[quote name='ncibob']Yeah, I talked to the guy behind the desk and he showed me his list and it did represent just 1 cent price drops and he even called another GR and they didn't know anything about it either. The 1 cent price drops were pretty much the whole list that was posted last night minus a few of them. This also follows what my other GR told me yesterday when the lady there looked for this in her book. I have two GR with in 10 minutes of me so I was really excited for this.[/QUOTE]

You have to have them scanned. The discount is not applied until they hit total.
 
Just got back from Gamerush/BB. Add the following to the list:

Xenosage Episode 3 - PS2 - $14.99
Tales of the Abyss - PS2 - $17.99
Outlaw Tennis - XBox - $3.49
(All prices are after 50% discount)

Thanks OP! I will check another GR tonight!
 
[quote name='Indiana']You have to have them scanned. The discount is not applied until they hit total.[/QUOTE]

This is exactly right. There were pink discount stickers on all the games along with the original price. All the discounts don't ring up until the cashier hits total!
 
I picked up Ninty-Nine Nights and Justice League Heroes for PS2 for $14.99 each at lunch. They didn't even mark any games down yet, but the clerk let me walk around with the list to check out what they had.
 
For 50% off I got:

PS2
Family Guy - $15
Fatal Frame III - $15
Family Feud - $10
We Love Katamari - $15
Xenosaga Episode III - $15

PSP
Lord of the Rings Tactics - $10
Frantix - $5

Xbox
Taito Legends - $5
Total Overdose - $5
Outlaw Tennis - $5
Outlaw Tennis Remixed - $5

I saw Justice League and Superman Returns in the 50% off rack as well...debating picking those up...anyone played them? Since their movie/comic tie-ins, I know they'll be dirt cheap everywhere soon.

I wonder if these 50% off games will drop to 75% in a month or so if they don't sell. There's still some stuff that is a little pricey for me even at 50% off.
 
I'll try and get everything organized and into the OP, but be sure to post whether you are reporting the 50% off price or the price before discount because this could get confusing.
 
Picked up Ninety-nine Nights at my local store. They had much of what has already been established as on "the list".

Still debating on a few that are on the cuff of what I would consider purchasing them for. I would have never paid $50 for N3, but for $15, hell yes.

Interestingly, this may not be new at other stores, but my BB/GR store has stopped taking pre-orders. They say that the distribution has changed for the worse. In the past, most pre-orders would go right into the system and thus ordered from the manufacturer.

Well, we all know how unreliable that was -- but for most big releases, we were safe. Now, they say the system will never order a copy from the manufacturer based on a pre-order. So you can still pre-order, but there's even a bigger chance that you won't get it.

Hmm, this scares me a bit like the end of GR is drawing closer. Maybe I will use my credit now instead of waiting for Guitar Hero 2 for 360.
