EB Trade 2 CG for Metriod Prime

Just got back from EB, have promotion for trade 2 GC games (with exclusions) for metroid. Traded SSX Tricky and MLS 2002 bought on closeout @ target for less than $25. So check those closeout prices at target and try trading at EB.

As always, YMMV.

Can someone provide more info on this? Do all target's have those 2 games on sale? Are there any other stores out there with real cheap games that EB will accept?

that's a crappy deal. EB trade in scams suck! You give them two games and you get back one? Makes no sense.

It is a good deal if:

1. You have some games you never play
2. You have a game you never play and got as a gift
3. You buy SSX Tricky at Target for $13 and another one for around the same price(I've seen Smashing Drive, and Madden '02) Although I'm pretty sure they won't take Madden, my store has about 30 copies of each for each system for about $15 each.

Can someone list all the stores that have really cheap GC games that EB will accept?

Btw, will they accept unopened games?

I've tried to trade in unopened stuff, and sell it at various stores. Games, dvds, whatever. The response I always get is that they assume it was stolen. Why would you buy something and not open it? I can understand that. Just rip the plastic off. It will still look brand new.

There are dozens, and EB doesn't just give out the list.

BTW, the EBs around me are not running this promotion (only the trade 2 games and get any game for $10 one), so call ahead.

Same thing for me around here as well.... although it isn't too bad since they would only give me 15$ credit for SSBM and $20 for Eternal Darkness.... this lets me get 20$ for each and get Metroid for 10$.

OK here's what I got. Went to the store and their Metroid display box had the deal printed on it, so it seems to have come from corporate. Guy that helped me told me that if I had just sold the games to EB I would have only got $10 for each game. Both were still sealed in their plastic wrappers and he had no problem doing the deal ( although he did remove from plastic afterwards), he also checked the infamous binder to see if there was any updated e-mail info.

The target near me had a bunch of games just marked down, the nice girl behind the counter even commented on my timing as she had just marked them down (had actually gone in looking for a GBA NHL 2002 game on sale, so this worked out even better). The had several games on sale- SSX, MLS, NBA Street, Simpsons Road rage, 18 wheeler, and some others all for less than $ 15. Some stores don't scan so ask for them to check.

I doubt my EB will do the deal. They didn't do the 2 games get it free deal for Mario Sunshine.

Crap, just noticed it was 2 GC games. I don't have any GC games I want to trade. I got rid of the ones I didn't want a couple months ago.
