I'll also be saving mine for E3. You never know what sort of price drops might happen! Wii U console, Vita memory cards, everything's up in the air!
Xbone in November when Halo 2 anniversary is out.

They can do that? I'm planning on bringing a friend to trade-in my games as well. Would be cool if he could just move the gift card onto mine, instead of me having 2 in my hand.
I'm not sure yet. Lots of things are going through my mind, because I'm probably going to end up with $200. I'm thinking I might buy Watch Dogs, and pocket the rest. Or save up for a Wii U, or buy a bunch of Steam cards for the inevitable Steam sale this year. Decisions, decisions.

did dark souls 2 come with any thing inside the box?
I'm assuming it needs the inserts that come with some games, right?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I'm saving mine for the next B2G1.
But groceries are also a good option if you're not very patient.
Speaking of B2G1, all but one of my PS4 games is either from a B2G1 or was obtained by trading a game that I picked up at a B2G1 specifically as trade bait.
All but one of my games is trading in at more than I paid for it.

Pfft, I used mine right away on some diapers (even getting a $10 gift card back), some toilet paper (got $5 gift card back, and there was a price/label error on the ones I bought), and finally some toys for my son. If I trade more in this week, I'll use the credit to buy Mario Kart 8 and save the rest for random gifts/grocery items.
Edit: Oh snaps, if it works on Steam cards, I'm getting that.
Do it at the Electronics desk, they shouldn't care. When I went up front they told me "No buying gift cards with gift cards". At Electronics, no questions were asked.
I got 100 dollars in my Steam wallet (sales soon!) , 50 in PSN, re-uped on PS+, and I have more games to try tomorrow

you multiply the value on the site by 3

You have to triple that price. So BF4 would be worth $30 in this case. I heard that as the days go on, some games may drop in price and even leave the list. Which is why some games may be worth $40 now, yet $20 by the last day. This is all just speculation at the moment, but I'd rather play it safe and turn my games in sooner then later.
In that case then I imagine values are going down the more people trade in?
Edit: Looks like it.
Really? Shit. Guess I gotta go earlier than I planned.
EDIT: Games are still the same price.
Anyone trading in BF4 for 54 traded in the PS4 version, which is still 17.86 on the site.
Another question: I see ~$9 for KH 1.5 Remix (so 27), but I have the limited edition one with the artbook that doubles as a case and the outer case bigger than a standard PS3 case? Can I trade it in still?
So basically the more popular a trade-in (i.e the PS4 games) the more likely the trade in value will decrease? So more obscure games have a chance of staying the same trade in value for at least a few days? Ugh I hate this 3 game rule...I'll bring my mom with me for the pokemon games ($60), then drive a few miles for another one..

Now I don't feel bad for missing the GS promo the other week.
Gonna bring the woman along for a second transaction in case they won't do multiples.
Been sitting on a fat stack for awhile because I hate trading in at GS.
I get mad every time.
Hopefully I can nab some PSN/Steam cards, or at least diapers.
edit: do they have eShop cards? MK8 incoming and all.

You might get lucky and get a clerk that doesn't care.
In my case, they weren't aware of the promotion and I had to point the guy to the website, and then call a manager over in order to get things to work. I had to prove that the 18.xx for Infamous:SS was not after the 3x. So by the time I had a transaction (~25 minutes in) for both my brother and me I think they were sick of us and didn't want to do more today, haha.
So, tomorrow!

Target pays me to rent their games. I love it.

Don't know they just don't train the normal sales associates to do this shit..
Agreed. That post was a little too nonchalant!

anyone know if the game has to be listed on the site to be included on the deal? I've got a few titles not listed.
There's Target "Mobile" within electronics. The employees wear black instead of red. They have their own kiosk. At least that's how it was in my store.
If it's not listed it's not part of the promotion, to my knowledge. Though you still might be able to trade it in at 1x if you really wanted.
Oh wow thanks for this, I hope my guy's there in the morning.

when was the last time target or anyone did a 3x trade-in thing?
Stuff like this could convince me to go back to consoles from pc >.<

Seems to be that way at all targets. The cell phone guy was telling me its because target is trying to really push their cell phone business. That's all great, but could they at least get everyone in electronics trained up on trade ins? Sucks that one person(who isn't even there until close) who be the only qualified employee to process trade ins.
Ditto.

I traded in 3 games, got 1 gift card.
Couldn't you buy a few things that you don't really want and then get a refund later for another gift card? lol
wait a minute, if i use the link in the OP i get no results. but if i go to the target site and filter search for target mobile, i get results. which do i go by?

$51.57 for GTAV on ps3? Hell yeah in going to tomorrow.
In theory yes. But I'm working under the assumption that Florida Targets will wise up to this scheme, and stop giving gift cards for refunds on the trade-in deal.
I actually do want Mario Kart 8 and Watch Dogs, so I would rather just buy them now. I plan to play Wolfenstein and return it for more credit before the promotion ends. I know that most retailers let you put down $5 on a pre-order, but I'm not sure if I can use my credit to pay in full.
The guy at mine did 2 transactions of 3 games each and then combined the two cards into one for me.
