Mario Kart 8
Forza Horizon
Halo 3
Mario Party 10
Arkham Knight
Splatoon
Dying Light
The Evil Within
Mad Max
Halo Reach
Halo 2
Approximate total with bonus is 132. I sorta don't want to trade in some of these games but feel like since I usually play on my own its not worth keeping ( mk8, mp10, splatoon) and I want to play but I feel will be found cheaper later ( Dying Light, Evil Within). I imagine mp online with splatoon will die once splatoon 2 releases so I want to take advantage. 132 towards a switch in the future would make me happy but waiting for a deal to come up at gamestop will likely take a while.

I was even thinking of going in and placing a deposit last week.
God. Damn. It. My Destiny 1 LE is going to look so lonely.

Remember it's 70 percent already including pro. So arms is worth 30. Plus 70 percent of that which is 21. So 51.
Or in other words, 33 is with pro(10%) then add 60% actually.

what about the 5 other games that have to go with it to get the 70%?

Just went in and traded a bunch of games and got $283. I ended up getting Arms, Cave Story and the rest in steam gift cards.
Appreciate the heads up OP otherwise I would have never noticed.

I did $250 today. Hoping for some good boomerangs with the b2g1 next weekend. Got $28 each for a old game boy and a ps1.
Hm. So $28 pro member for Injustice 2, $22.00 for bomberman. At 20% is $10.00. If I spend $4.00 to get up to 6 games, for the 70%, then $46 dollars would become $78. Yeah that's a no brainer shit.
I'll go do this tomorrow ASAP. No titles I want right now or pre order or anything, so I'll just pay off probably the entirety of my Destiny 2 LE.
Noice.
Ah, thanks for the clarification!
idunno some 3DS games I never play anymore
is the 70% offer limited to six games or can you trade in more than that at the bonus 70% rate?
I might take advantage and digitize my switch library by trading in all the games I purchased at super deep discounts with GCU and the best buy visa promotion.
like I bought MK8, zelda, arms, etc for $36 and this would let me trade them in for $56. that's pretty awesome.

To be fair they aren't supposed to do this. Dude at the register was trying to scumbag his way to better numbers.

You cant use gamestop credit as amazon stuff anymore?
pretty sure it still because i still have the barcode scan on amazon cash and still list gamestop
Edit: Only the cash, so you getting less but its weird it says trade credit too.

Yup. Can be games worth 3 cents too lol.
Wow just wow, I did have a feeling he was sneaking it on as I've read about stuff like that on these forums but I took his word for it that it was a mistake.
Wow, thanks for the heads up on this OP! This is worthwhile for me for a bunch of older/middling games that Gamestop takes for like $4-6 normally where it's not really worth the hassle of me selling them individually online, this bonus bumps them up to at or near cash values online for a lot of them and I can just grab PSN cards for games I want to buy/pre-order digitally or fully pay off physical pre-orders.

Did you have to bring in the wolf amiibo with zelda tp?
Nope. Just the game itself. Same with Yoshi's Wooly World.

Nice. Thanks brotha
These deals can work for cash (though, you get 20% less), unless the deal is tied to trading in TOWARDS a pre-order or purchase of something in store. If it's a straight trade in deal, it does work for cash.
Took advantage of a similar deal last year and walked out with $600 in cash (that 20% hit hurt, but it was way more than I would have gotten ebaying the items).

They all get that bump. Zelda is $50 sumpin too..
Damn, I usually trade in games to Amazon as soon as I beat them to get max value so I don't have 7 to trade in. Ooh well, sweet deal for everyone though, reminds me of that Target 3x trade in value a couple years ago. I actually remembered buying some games at Best Buy on a B2G1 and then opening them and trading them in at Target and making like $80 in an hour haha.
Those offers won't stack.

I traded in six games I will never play again (including a shit trade-in of Sunset Overdrive which was worth nothing as I have the free Games with Gold digital version, but it put me up to 6 games qualifying me for the maximum offer). Ended up getting a new copy of Dragon Quest Heroes II, a Steam Link, and Steam Controller, for $5 out of pocket. This is an incredible offer.

Bloodborne - $14.96 (It's been perma priced at $20 for a long time now)
TitanFall2 - $14.96
Doom - $14.96
MK8D - $51 (Someone on GAF suggested recently that it's nice to have it digitally for random racing, I really liked that idea. Willing to lose a couple dollars for it since I have GCU)
Wolfenstein - $13.09
Pokken Tournament - $25.50 (Not bad considering most who have it would rather have it on Switch)
Diablo 3 UED - $20.50
Pokemon HG/SS - $34 (Crazy considering how old they are lol)
Pokemon Black/White - $25.50
Pokemon Black/White 2- $28.90
Fire Emblem Echoes - $32.40 (Considering the game is only 32+ tax with GCU, awesome deal)

Supply and demand
That was a system pack-in. A lot of people got copies who might not have even wanted it
Yeah, the gamestop I go won't take anymore copies because they have an absolute fuckload that don't sell.
Thanks for the heads up. Got around ~$200 worth of stuff to trade in and I'm thinking about snagging a "GameStop Premium Refurbished" Xbox One S for $209, but I have a couple of questions:
Are GameStop's refurbished consoles half-decent? I obviously don't want something that's going to shit the bed in half of a year and be out of luck.
Also, is the Xbox One S noticeably faster than the original in terms of UI/App speed? I have the original xbone and I gotta to say the experience feels sluggish, even with the latest update.

Yup, and remember $300 is $300. No tax on credit.
Dude.. they just had oneS's brand new with a $50 gift card last week. I missed it as well, but it'll be more sales n stuff so just save the credit or put it to preorders you'll never get. (I do that sometimes)
Used to love those moments where you'd be standing behind someone trading in games and you offer them a few dollars more in cash than what the clerk offered. Got many a 360 game like that when I was living in the UK.

These deals don't work on cash trades. It says it in the first line of the offer details
Can confirm definitely won't work on cash
