That's how I got VF5 last Friday.  I traded MUA and THP8 and got like $48 in credit.  The manager then chimed in about the special and I got VF5 straight up, no cash difference.

How long is this promo? I have Resistance and Untold Legends (played just once). But there is nothing coming out until next week. Also have VF5 but I'm not a huge fighting guy and bought into the hype. I had a walmart credit so I bought it, but the novelty has worn off that too. I need more games like resistance and action adventure!

EB Games / Gamestop is such a rip off when it comes to trading in your games. Sell your games on eBay if you want to get rid of them... dont give them your games. Example: 2 months after Perfect Dark Zero was released on Xbox 360, my friend was ready to trade it in. We went to the local EB Games and they were going to give him $7.00 trade in credit. The game was still new at $59.99 and the used versions they were selling were going for $54.99. That is a complete rip off to people who trade games in. It was that day that I decided to never EVER trade a game into them again. If I can help it, I'll buy new over used so that they dont get as much income as well.

Trade in  two 50$ games at $100 for one $50 game?

Or sell them both on ebay for 40$ each.

Bottom line Gamespot in a complete rip off and scammers, they bash the PS3 at any chance and give it a bad name.  DO not give that company your money.

Okay...you sell both games at $40...ebay / paypal fees are what like $9....to ship the game say you go cheap USPS $4 but you have to put the game in something so you use those bubble wrap envelopes you get at staples for $2...okay now your $40 is only...$25 in total profit (two games $50)... and seeing that the game is $59.99 your still around $10 - $15 depending on tax....

 Where as you walk in the store with the same two games and trade them in for a new game getting $30 per game.... Do the math...its not a bad deal

Well, think about it. I but two games for $60 each for a total of $120.00 and trade them in for another games that's worth $60.00. MAKES NO SENSE!! If you want, I'll buy two games off you right now for $31.00 dollars each.

Screw the charks at Gamestop/EBGames.

You bought two brand spankin new games for $60/ea.  If you played both games  for 2 minutes or 2 months they would no longer be new.  As far as I know there's no set price for used games, just the price people are willing to pay for a game with 0 customer service support or warranty from defect, both services GS/EB provide.  You could go on ebay and buy a used copy of a newly released title for $20 only to be delivered a seemingly brand new disk that can't be read.  Then what?

You make it sound like GS/EB  is so great. What's so great about trading in a game and getting $20 for it and then GS/EB turn around and sell it for $50 each. It's just ridiculous.

What's not great about owning a game for more than 2 months and getting a decent amount of credit for it when you trade it in at your liking?  No need to deal with ebay auctions and waiting for bids, payment details, shipping, etc.  You get more credit than if you had rented the game for the same length of time.  I traded two launch titles, picked up on 11/17/2006 for a brand new $60 game.  I had two games for 103 days and still got $30 + tax for each without having to do nothing more but drop em off at EB on my lunch break.  The difference is my interest ends at trading in my old games.  You obviously feel slighted that you get X credit and they get X more dollars.  Reselling and trading aren't the same thing.

I'm sorry, but all you people who think this is such a great deal, your idiots, plain and simple.  It's fine, you people go ahead and live in your little world were you think you got the deal of the century, go on. 

  The system launched just over 3 months ago, and even if you bought your system at launch, the oldest your games are, are just over 3 months, and unless you stole them or got some rare deal, you paid full price for them, and now your willing to take a 50% loss after just 14 weeks?  That is just plain idiotic. 

   All this kind of deal does, is lose you money, and on top of that, anybody that keeps doing deals like this, your losing a ton of money, and you never have a decent library of games.  It's a lose lose situation.  Your basically paying 30 dollars a game to rent it for a couple months.  Joining gamefly or some other rental service is a nobel prize worthy stroke of genius compared to what you people are doing.

Remeber back when there was no such thing as trading in?  You never got money back, you just kept the games, whether you played them or not.  I'd rather reroll my purchase than sit on it or deal with the drama that is reselling used goods.  Remember, the topic is about trading, not reselling.

You my fellow poster, are an idiot for calling others idiots. Let me pose this question to you. How much are two games that collect dust and never get played worth? $0 if you never do anything to them. $30/each if you trade them in. You don't have to do the math, there is no math to do. You say a 50% loss after just 14 weeks? Well if you never played it, yeah. It's a loss if you never played it. But if you did then you factor in the amount of enjoyment you got from it. For instance, I haven't played Resistance since Thanksgiving weekend. Right now it's worth $0 sitting on my desk. If not for the new downloads I would never play it again. I also have Untold Legends. Will never play it again, I guarantee you. So in order not to lose $30, you ... while calling me an idiot ... advocate I keep the game. Thereby not only losing $30 but another $30 that I would get in a trade in, in total a loss of $60. And this is smart? Note that I don't buy games often, I gamefly them and return then after I'm done. But occasionally I get gifts and occasionally I want something bad enough I buy it.

if you cant read a blu-ray disc, then the disc is probably in pieces, cause you can rub steel wool on them, and not scratch them.

I think the best thing to do is just trade up games with your fellow PS3 forum members :). I have Resistance, NBA 07, NFS Carbon, Genji, Full Auto 2 and honestly, I was thinking of doing this but trading 2 of my barely used $60 games for one game I think is dumb. Id rather look for someone willing to trade up 1 $60 game for 1 $60 game instead of $120 in games for one damn game. EBgames and Gamestop games dont even come shrink wrapped most of the time. I think they try selling off used games as new, you cant even tell. I couldve swore my RR7 that I had was used when I bought it "new". I exchanged it same day when I found it scuffed up a little.

Cool. with the horror stories i hear about GS/EB games, just wanted to make sure. Of course I'm not the type that would let a gamestore employee attempt to verbally abuse my PS3 decision. I'd let his face beat up my hand but that's another forum! J/k. Thanks though.
