$20 for Portal 2? $25 for Sly Cooper collection? $15 for Bully? The FIRST Assassin's Creed on PS3 is getting $15?! What year is this?!

Proof since some people doubt what I say :)cry:)

[quote name='DiaperDandee']Wow! I have a question, does the trade in 3 for an extra $10 still work with the new values?[/QUOTE]

No because this is a promo just like that so you get whichever is better according to the computer.
 
does this stack with other promo like extra 30% ?

i understand it doesnt stack with extra $10 for trading 3. but what about
extra 25s or extra 30s ?
 
All these trade-ins could help me get a Wii U cheap or save up for something awesome later in the future! But I do have a question though? So these trade-in values are available for free GameStop members too? If so, I can get 10% more since I'm a Pro member, just making sure if I got that right? Another thing, will I get more for Forza Horizon if its the Limited Edition?
 
hmmm, I still have a few of these titles that I picked up for cheap, time to trade them in and rebuy them later when they are $10 again. Thanks OP!
 
[quote name='thingsfallnapart']Lots of good flip potential in Kmart 9.99 portal 2.[/QUOTE]

It's on clearance at Sears for .97 so this would be a great flip.
 
Haha. I almost traded in NHL 13 and Smiper Elite for a combined $25 or less the other day. Now I'll get $45.

That and Dead Island GOTY I got for $8 now $20?
 
Damn, awesome prices for some of these games. Metroid Prime Trilogy gets $40, that's insane. Now I regret not buying Dead Island for $8 on BF, would have made a clean $12 profit.

I might trade the following (might keep some as well, this is technically me making my list on the post ;) ):

Bully: Scholarship Edition - Xbox 360 $15.00
Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified - PS Vita $30.00
Dance Central 3 - Xbox 360 $30.00
Forza Horizon - Xbox 360 $35.00

You're thinking of the PC version, while the gamestop promo is for the PS3/360 version.
 
[quote name='nightmare452']Damn, awesome prices for some of these games. Metroid Prime Trilogy gets $40, that's insane.[/QUOTE]

That's because MPT goes for around $60-70 for the disc only, and way more for the steelbook on ebay. I know not everyone likes ebay, but in this case gamestop is shorting you half the value.

Counter-point: gamestop will give you $20 for NSMB DS ($15 on ebay), $25 for sly cooper collection ($16 sold via newegg on ebay, or on newegg itself), and $20 for smash bro brawl ($20 on ebay if you sell it, minus fees, shipping, etc, so GS is more).
 
They "reserve the right to modify at any times". In the past with big lists like this, I've seen that mid-way through the promo some games just drop off the list completely. My advice is to trade as fast as possible if you're going to do it at all.
 
[quote name='GBAstar']How quickly do you think Gamestop will nerf some of these values? Will they hold until Monday?[/QUOTE]

I think we all know you don't really have to ask.
This is a fluid list (as usual with Gamestop). Values may even drop during the day. I'll be there this afternoon, and any experienced CAG will not wait until tomorrow.
 
$30 TIV for Black Ops Declassified? Damnit, I'm out of excuses. I guess I'm going to Target to pick up a BO: D Vita bundle later today. I can nearly trade that POS 1:1 for Persona 4 and call it good.
 
Looking forward to some in-store confirmations on this, seems too good to be true on a lot of these values, esp on the heels of Black Friday deals.
 
[quote name='WNYX585AM']The problem with Gamestop trade-ins is that they never have good deals to spend the credit on.[/QUOTE]

Hitman $40 new/$37 used....
RE6 $40 New/$37 used

Both sell for more on ebay/amazon, plus hitman just came out!

Wow, didn't know it sold that high elsewhere. Thanks for the heads up. Will keep my "still unplayed" Steelbook copy for later resale.
 
I'm guessing if you were to trade in God of War Saga, the codes included can't be redeemed?
 
I would be so much more excited about this if those values were cash and not GS credit. Not much I want. Guess I might unload NHL 13 though for $30
 
[quote name='Tax']I'm guessing if you were to trade in God of War Saga, the codes included can't be redeemed?[/QUOTE]

There's no way they can resell digital codes, they will only check for the disc
 
Do you guys think that I can still opt for cash trade in and still retain the values posted in the OP? I know that they deduct some percentage off ( does anyone know how many percentage they take off as well? ) but if I can still get a percentage off those values, it will still be a good trade.

I only ask because like one of the earlier post says, I cannot simply find good ways to get rid of GS credit. ( It is probably because I'm banned from BB trading. ) I'm still having trouble getting rid of the credit I got from the October GS Trade-in promo they had similar to this one.
 
[quote name='V4oLDbOY']Surprised Halo 4 is only $30 and Forza is $35.[/QUOTE]

Probably cause its such a highly released game, they probably expect trade ins to come in regardless of trade-in value, so you don't offer as much of a value if you know you will have plenty of "used games" quantities of it.

I don't know if that made sense. ;)
 
[quote name='GBAstar']Oh my.

I can't wait to read an entire thread about people bragging about all their flips.[/QUOTE]

Then don't read the thread?

Kinda what I was thinking too...

Figured the folks who only bought it for the campaign and to play MP before BO2 came out, they're gonna trade it in as long as they get at least $30 for it.
 
Wow... I was surprised to see what Bully Scholarship edition is going for on Amazon. What happened there? This used to be a dirt cheap used game.
 
I just traded yesterday. Can I go back and get credited more because some of those I didn't even get what they are offering on that list with the extra 50% credit promo on the power up rewards

I did the same thing with some games I was considering trading. Example, rock band 3 is like $63 on Amazon
