Trade them in at blockbuster, they won't rip you off like gamestop or playNtrade. I just traded it NG2 and Lost Odyssey for a total credit of 67 dollars. That's right 2 games for 67 bucks and walked away with a brand new copy of Alone in the dark. Not to mention I will probably trade Aitd next month and condemned 2 which they want to give me 32 bucks for. Anyways if you're a trade in kinda guy/gal and kinda broke at this time of the month. Hope this helps.

Yes you do, or get someone to put you on their account and then you fill out a short trade in form (the first time only).

Wow, good deal... but you made a bad choice there man, IMO. NG2 and LO are excellent games, not AAA but pretty good. From what I'm hearing, Alone in the Dark is... almost average, at best. And according to IGN, utter crap. But hey, your call.

Wow, I didn't know Blockbuster was that cool. I've been selling my games on Half.com instead of trading them in. It's still way better than GameStop, but it sounds like I'd get more money at Blockbuster.

Well the thing is I already beat NG2 and Lost Odyssey which I believe were both superb games but when i'm done with a single player game then I am done. I was actually gonna trade in those 2 games for battlefield and make a gamefly account to rent aitd but i'm scared that gamefly will send me other games on my list instead of aitd and I really want to get this game out of the way first. It just looks like an entertaining game and original with the controls and all. Once I beat it though I will trade it in ofcourse along with condomend 2 so I can walk away next month with a brand new copy of battlefield which I don't want to play till next month anyway since I don't have a gold account right now.

I'm not sure about rsv2 but if they gave me 32 bucks for Lost Odyssey then i'm guessing it should be around the same. I say call them and find out.

ive heard about this but my blockbuster in winchester doesnt support this program. i havent tried the one in wva or md yet. but if you have an edge card i say trade in bulk and wait for those "Trade 2 _______ games in get an extra ten" " or another bonus of that sort. it works really well at my store.

You know what I have not seen any Gamecrazy stores around where I live. 37 is a good deal though specially since I got NG2 for 19 bucks brand new at Gamestop somehow someway which I don't want to get into that right now. You know if you think about trading in a game you got for 19 bucks and get 35 back for it. I call that a good deal. lol I'll look into Gamecrazy.

Thats a GREAT tip. Im always trading in games that Im not interested in,and your right gamestop puts the R in Rape. I'll give that a shot. Once I traded in a game and got 6 dollars. SMH....now I'll just give them to my friends before I trade them for less than 20.

Cool thanks for the tip! : ) Gamestop and other gameshops usually pay you 1/4 of price the game is on the market. which I dont really like. You got about more than half of the deal.

Is alone in the dark any good?

I trade through Goozex. I get almost $50 a pop for a game. Granted there isn't any real money involved, but I mean hey you do get other games in exchange for my older games.

It was store credit which I still have like a whopping 2 dollars left.lol To the 3rd poster above yes alone in the dark is a fun game to play so far, only finished the first level which I thought was full of suspense and crazy action. The gameplay feels weird with the controls but i'm used to it already. I just don't want the game to freeze on me like it did on the first level, man I haven't had a freeze up since november.

You got a good deal I guess. I just don't trade in my games because it's a major ripoff. My friend just traded in COD4 towards GRID. Bad move imo. But hey it's his call.

yea i know i wish i had a blockbuster card because i would definitely do this. I went to gamestop one time with GTA-San Andreas and they said they couldn't buy it back because it had some rare content on it that was removed from the game. Well i went to blockbuster and they were going to give me $18 for the game but i didn't have a card and it's a shame you need a credit card to sign up these days, not even a debit card works. So i instead had to keep the game and always just sell to gamestop.

I wish it was easier for a membership because at blockbuster you can get snacks, drinks, AND GAMES with the money, even movies, so thats nice.

I should go get some snacks with the 2 dollars credit I still have left.lol Btw I wanted to say since there are so many crazy games that will continue to come out this year, I just could not see myself ever having the time to go back to the single player games that i've already played and beat. Even if they are AAA titles, once I beat them it's kinda over. Moving on to the next game that I have not yet played. Having a collection is cool and i'm not against collecting games trust me, it's not like aitd is the only game I have. I don't think i'll ever trade in Cod4 cause of the multiplayer.

i didnt know u could trade games in at Blockbuster. Next time i'm there i'll see what they say. maybe they can give me a list of games they will give a decent amount of money for.

but really you payed like $120 for NG2 and Lost oddysey, and then got $67 back for selling them? i am not sure thats the best deal in town...... I sure hope you at least had Lost Odysey for a while. I think i'm going to just RENT ninja gaiden 2. It seems like the game is too short for $60.

Thats why you don't buy a sports game every year. But if you want to waste less money then go rent them at gamefly or your local rental place. To the TC... i bet you could have rented both of those games and spent less than 60 bucks. If you know your going to sell the game when you get done then just rent it a few times (depending on how long it is). I rarely trade in games because it is just losing less money, but then again i don't buy or even rent every new game each week because that is an even bigger waste of money.

If you think a game is truly AAA (even singeplayer) you probably wouldn't sell it. I've beaten Mass Effect 3 times and plan on going for a 4th soon (i just want to play some of the other games first). I understand you may be more of a multiplayer kind of person, but still. I am usually more inclined to sell multiplayer games because since i have CoD4 there is no need for CoD2. I mean i have Gears, Shadowrun, Halo 3, CoD4, and the Orange Box to satisfy my online needs so i sold CoD2 and PDZ. Online games can replace eachother (like Halo 2 and then Halo 3), but singleplayer games have a bit of trouble doing that unless they are sequals (but then you may want the first one for the story is has).

I'm just not a big fan of trading in games, but i always don't like buying games all the time.

How can they have taken advantage of me? they gave me a free game for 2 games that I am completely done with and would never probably play again. So i could care less. Not that i'm saying NG2 and Lost Odyssey are worth to trade in. Those games were superb but I felt like getting my next game for free and blockbuster was the way to go. I'm not gonna sit there and wait to sell 2 games while I can just go trade them in and play whatever I want to play right away. How much are you gonna sell NG2 on ebay? 40 bucks? not that big of a difference and not worth the wait for my next game.

Trade them in at blockbuster, they won't rip you off like gamestop or playNtrade. I just traded it NG2 and Lost Odyssey for a total credit of 67 dollars. That's right 2 games for 67 bucks and walked away with a brand new copy of Alone in the dark. Not to mention I will probably trade Aitd next month and condemned 2 which they want to give me 32 bucks for. Anyways if you're a trade in kinda guy/gal and kinda broke at this time of the month. Hope this helps.

they want to give you $16 each for condemned 2 and aitd? Thats a rip off, you got conned.

They gave me 32 for Lost Odyssey and want to give me 32 for condemned 2 also. Most probably they will give me 35 for aitd.
