It's in-store only. If you go there and pick up their free booklet/catalog thing there is a coupon in it.

The easiest thing is to just make a note of what games you have you want to trade, and give them a call and ask which are excluded.

To answer your question, I've never seen the list posted online.

Most of the exlusions are sports games, all non-current year (2004 currently) games are excluded. The other exclusions are usually crappy games that were hyped and sold relatively well they have a ton of used copies of (i.e. State of Emergency).

So what's the deal (the EBgames is kind of out of the way to just "drop by" and check it out )? 3 in trade for free or just a discount?

TIA

I wonder if you could do this for another game, as I already have KOTOR. Maybe trade in 3 games, then get KOTOR then trade that in?

lol

Just call and ask, usually they have the 3 for one deal going on for a handful of games.

Problem is, with the store here, most of the employees are clueless. The deal's usually not advertised, and unless the manager is in, most of the employees have no idea what you're talking about.

Does anyone know if this is still going on? I stopped by one but they didn't have the coupon books nor did they actually have the game in stock

my EB likes to pretend that they don't have the book in, so I ask them to look in the back, where it is magically found

They exclude a ton of games, I just called with about 10 different titles and none of them are tradeable toword KOTOR (none of them are sports games btw).

I think any Greatest Hits/Platnium titles are automatically no-go.

I guess they are redefining the word "ANY".
