Look at top two offers. I was thinking of taking advantage of one if not both of these offers. I was going to atleast do one trading in Uncharted 1 (getting 2 for xmas or though the deal so won't need UC1 anymore) and RF:guerrilla ( i don't play it any more). I might also trade-in Batman and LBP (I'm a little hesistant about this but I can borrow a copy if I want to play it again) for Dragon Age or Uncharted 2.

No, because some of those games in the list of two "selected" games could probably be worth more than $40 if you trade both in without that coupon..

Trade ins are rarely worth it.

Yeah, I think I will call to see trade in value of each game separately first. Uncharted 1 is a two year old game so I don't mind selling it for $20 since I am getting #2 and according to this (http://www.ebgames.com/gs/specialty/tradeins/GameStop150_Sample10509.pdf) the sample trade-in price of RF:G on ps3 is $15-19 so the trade-in deal might elevate it's value from $15 to $20.

Agreed.

Also, I'm the kind of person that hates to trade in games. I've kept every single game in my collection.

As have I, I rarely trade games in because I like to replay them but I don't have the cash I used to have and I want to own the game and this seems the cheapest way. @ Yandere, I wish I could trade Lair and Haze for MW2 or Dragon Age straight up.

check their normal trade in values. Then, if they are both less than $20 worth normal, trade them in for this deal. remember, they have a list there of games you can trade in for this deal.

You might try looking for other stuff lying around your house that you can sell for some cash.

I noticed, I could trade in 4 games that I don't like (LBP, COD WOW, COD MW, inFamous) and buy two of them for $20.. After buying it I would trade them in for $60 each.

Yeah, I checked and it seems like with the combination of UC1 and RF:G I would be getting better trade in value with this deal but I am only going to do it for one game and not trade in Batman, NGS2, or LBP bc the offer devalues those games.
