I'm going to trade in CoD regardless, because I want the most value selling it. I'm getting 22 bucks for it from Toys R Us, I think that's a good deal because I bought CoD 4 for $25 from a friend. I don't have Live and I already played through it, and I'm thinking about trading in Halo 3 as well. It's going for 20 bucks, and I remember buying it for $10 new from FYE like a couple months ago. Also going to trade in Mass Effect for $6, already played through it as well. Is this a good idea? I'm planning on using the $48 on Batman: AA or CoD: MW 2 (TRS might have that 10 dollar gift card thing again so I could get CoD for "free")

Mass Effect 6$??? Dude Mass Effect is an awesome game, you shouldn't trade it for six bucks! Also I think COD4 single player has replay value just because it's so awesome, but if you don't wanna play it anymore, then 22$ is a pretty good price.

there's no point in getting MW2 if you're trading in MW1. because you will get tired of it because you don't have live, mhm.

Nah, I already played through Mass Effect. Tried playing it again as a biotic, but it didn't seem as good as the first time playing through it. I'm going to trade Mass Effect no matter what.

I'm getting Live in like Spring (it's a complicated situation) so I could play MW2 then. But I think I should trade in MW1 now because after MW2 releases I won't get the money I would get right now for it.

I recommend keeping them both and buying LIVE instead of a new game. LIVE gives new life to every game you own, especially games like CoD 4 and Halo 3. However, if you're sure you don't want to try out LIVE, I recommend trading in CoD 4 but keeping Halo 3 for its local multi-player. Also, if you dont't have LIVE I don't think MW2 is really worth a $60 dollar purchase; get Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum or wait until Splinter Cell: Conviction comes out next year.

Yes, definitely a good idea to trade in CoD 4, then. However, keep Halo 3 or else you'll regret it when you get LIVE.

They wouldn't let me trade in Call of Duty 4 for some reason, but they let me cash in on Mass Effect. Anyone know where I can trade in CoD?

best places to trade in games are at the smaller retailers, the less locations they have, the better the deals youll get usually. Here in St. Catharines (southern ontario) we have a small chain called entertainment overload that releases what they call a weekly "juice" list, where they offer more cash than youd usually get for popular or newer games, they're buying batman for $40 cash right now aswell as a few others. If you have a kijiji for your city it's always good to check the sponsored links in the vg section there as smaller retailers love to advertise on sites like that. Also, always quote a price you've got from somewhere else when you sell it, and when you quote that price always add like $5 to it, so if blockbuster said they'd buy your game for $20, take it somewhere else and tell them blockbuster offered you $25 for it, you'd be surprised how often that works.

Just keep them both, both are top notch shooters for the console. So what if you don't have Xbox Live, at least you have the single player campaigns. I definitely agree that you should get Batman: Arkham Asylum though, just do some work and save up for it.

I'd rather keep Halo 3 and cod 4 and have xboxlive than getting any other new 360 game and not being able to play online...

Come on! Get live! This thread is hurting me...

guys, accessing live isn't always as simple as plugging it in and getting started, theres tons of factors like internet availability, then the cost of live itself, getting dsl installed even in areas were its accessible isn't always easy and it's definately not always cheap, and for those of us that don't live with mommy and daddy sometimes things like eating and keeping the lights on takes precident :p

Get Xbox Live, both Halo 3 and COD4 are way more enjoyable of an experience once you're online. Sure, you'll run into idiots but if you don't have a mic you won't have too many problems. :P

I can't just get Live, I'm stuck with dial-up for a reason. They don't provide DSL where I live, and to get cable internet I have to get a 1000 dollar installation because my driveway is too long. But thanks for the opinions! :(

Since you incapable of getting Xbox Live, Modern Warfare 2 is not worth a purchase. Batman AA is a great game & will give you a fairly good amount of game time. In your type situation games like Fallout 3, Oblivion, Assassin's Creed & its upcoming sequel, as well as the upcoming Dragon Age Origins are much smarter purchases. Some other upcoming 09 releases that could possibly fit you might be Alpha Protocol, Brutal Legend, & Risen.
