no, in store is 3x what it says online
Soul Sacrifice (which I own on PS+) and Killzone Shadowfall (which I haven't played in months) for a total of $56.88. That's good. That's damn good. Gonna use it on something ridiculous like Monster Monpiece and Child of Light.
Yeah, I get it. I have like 15 ps3 titles, hardly of any show up in their database.
Oh well.

Tryhard workers like that are the WORST
You would think so, but GameStop doesn't say that either. Yet, you're more than likely unable to multiple copies at GameStop too.
I traded mine in yesterday. I was ok with it. The girl who did my trade said they had a lot of them come in. Many people like me have already pre-ordered it for PS4 and don't need the old copy anymore.

Thanks.

That was my favorite part, trading in games bought from the same Target 5 months ago for more than I paid. Unreal indeed.

So I traded a game in and he was going to put my credit on the gift card and the system went down. I looked around for about an hour then went back and he tried again and no luck. So he gave me this paper that has a trade in order in it for the $51 value, and told me I have 6 days to redeem it.
I am worried that since the promotion ends after today, I will be shit out of luck going in tomorrow or Monday to redeem it. Has anyone had this experience? Will target honor it even past the promotion deadline?

What? I hope it's back up soon because I was going to leave soon to do it. That will make the 4th time I couldn't trade my games in. Lame.

No, CAG members who have nothing better to do than hit ten stores clearing out stock to flip to another store are the worst.

I traded in my games, system was down, guy said to come tomorrow with receipt and I'll be issued a gift card. Damn...
Worked for me.
Cool, thanks! Been trying all week to finally trade some damn games in!

System's down but I got two separate quotes for about $200 total. I sure hope it works tomorrow like the guy said.
Bullshit. That has not been communicated to us.
This was fine! Used my trade in credit to get 4 $15 xbox live cards, on separate receipts to get 4x$5 bonus credit from Xbox.

When I went it was down and they just printed off the value cards and told me I was locked in too.
Haha.. Earlier in the week when I did my trade I think the guy (or girl, I went twice and I can't remember who this conversation was with) mentioned people were doing that. I said I thought it was kinda scammy, he/she pretty much said, "Ah, we don't mind. We're offering the trade in."
So, your mileage varies on the associate you get and their philsophy on it. Apparently I'm more of the same philisophy of the associate you talked to LOL. Though I wouldn't refuse honestly if I were the associate. I mean as long as it wasn't that you stole them or something the rules just say you get triple trade in for a game and it doesn't say you can't have just bought it or that you can't trade in the same multiple times <- though I do think it would have been fair and maybe wise if Target had made a stipulation that you couldn't trade in all the same game. I just think I'd feel bad trying to game the system that way myself. I felt a little bad about going to a different Target to do another three trades, I didn't even try to see if the first would do another set.
Just now? It's up?
Nope still down.

So on Wednesday I traded in 3 games one of which was arkham origins. The girl doing the trade ins never even looked at any of the game to see if scratched or anything. I went to install Dead Space 3 on my 360 and realized I forgot to put disc one of arkham origins in the case. Oops. Feel kinda bad. Will this somehow come back to haunt me since my license and name and info are in the system for the gift card or is it on the employee for not checking the cases?
It won't come back on you but it'll get her in a lot of trouble. We ship our trades on Mondays so if you have the time, you could do her a solid and take the other disc to that Target.

Went in today and was told the system was done. Got a quote for my stuff and they would contact me when it went back up. Guy tried 3 times to get it to work. He was super cool about it. If I don't get the value, no big deal. Was just enough to cover Mario Kart 8. I'll see what happens this week.
Really tired of going to Target right after people with 50 games just get started. It'd be nice if they let the poor guy with 3 games go first instead of making me wait an hour and awkward small talk doesn't make it up.
Funny since the girl working there said how big of an asshole that guy was and how refreshing it was to have someone that's nice for a change. I imagine it's hell for these employees meant to be selling phones but then have to spend time doing this, especially when one person can take so much time out of your day while people looking to buy phones are stuck waiting.
Overall, just a poorly thought out promotion that Target wasn't prepared for in any way, but I suspect it's mostly a loss leader to get people to their mobile store and pick up game sales.
