Ok, so I didn't know where to put this since there isn't a general video games section. I went to EB yesterday afternoon with a ton of games me and my brother have that we didn't want anymore (nearly 30 games I think). PS1, PS2, and GameCube games.
For all that we got a store credit amount of 64 dollars and some change (don't remember the change amount). We were bringing them up there because we wanted to put money up towards Halo 2 so that we didn't have to fork over as much cash. We weren't expecting to get even 30 bucks out of it and were surprised that our games were worth that much. We were also there to reserve GTA: San Andreas because we were told you had to reserve a copy, you couldn't buy it off the shelf on Tuesday. So we tell them to put money up towards Halo 2 and to also reserve GTA: San Andreas.
Well the coolest thing happened! They have this thing going on now that when you buy stuff from EB, you get money for it! Kinda like paying 50 bucks for a game and getting 10 dollars store credit. It's some kind of appreciation thing going on. Well putting both games on reserve and putting money up towards them got us 46 more dollars to do whatever we wanted with. We only owed 25 dollars on both Halo 2 and San Andreas and instead of knocking that down to two dollars per game, we decided to get a DVD we saw on the shelf that we wanted and I got a Gamecube game (my brother was buying some computer game with his own money on a seperate order). So he rings those through and that was SUPPOSED to make me get like 5 dollars off the DVD because the GC game was 39.99. Turns out the deal was still going on and I got credit for the DVD and only had to pay a dollar and change for the DVD.
We brought all those games in and ended up walking out with only 25 dollars owed on Halo 2 and San Andreas and walked away with a free GC game and a DVD that costed me 1 dollar and change!
I tell you guys this because if you have an EB in the area, take your old games up there! That's the coolest place ever! I don't know how long the deal is going for though.
