Which game should i buy????
gamestop has a deal going on right now, 2 trade ins and you get a new release for 19.99. from the games that qualify i'm interested in a few for the ps3: LittleBigPlanet, COD5, Mirror's Edge and Fallout 3.
i think i've narrowed it down between COD5 and Fallout 3, but i wanted to hear from someone that has played these games.
any advice???

Depends if you want a solid co-op/MP game or a solid single player game.
COD5 is a fantastic MP game (though I can't speak for the support it receives on the PSN since I play on Live) but the co-op on the campaign is great as well. Not to mention the extremely cool zombie co-op extra.
Fallout 3 is a fantastic single player game that will give you many hours of great gaming but by yourself.
So do you like to play with others or by yourself? The answer to that question should answer your question.
Haven't gotten LBP yet and Mirror's Edge, while an excellent game, probably does not have the amount of value in it that COD or F3 has.

I'd go for Fallout 3. Huge fan of the series. Second choice is COD5 based on the comments in this forum.
Is that for all stores, or does vary by location? And what titles will they accept as trade-in?

It might be widespread, I saw it in Michigan.They had a specific trade in list, but I don't recall the titles.
Oblivion (GOTY), COD4, GTA IV, NCAA 09, Madden 09 were a few . The list was maybe 100 or so.
That being said, i got Fallout 3, and am loving every minute of it.

madden 09 (coll.ed)
oblivion (game of the year ed.)

Yeah they have a big sheet with all the games eligible for this deal.
I went in today and dumped 4 games to get GOW2 and Mirror's Edge for like $49 but after I used my Edge Card I ended up spending only $43 and some change. It was worth it to me since 3 out of the 4 were collecting dust for about a year.
Unfortunately there's still 3 games I want that can be had for $19 + 2 trade-ins like Left 4 Dead, Dead Space, and maybe even COD5. But I ran out of games to trade off of the trade list with the above trade.

I'm really enjoying Mirror's Edge right now.
It can be very frustrating at times - try, die, try, die, try, die - but when you get a good rhythm going and finally figure out that thing that was stumping you it's VERY rewarding. I know reviews are kind of saying the game's a bust, but it's pretty damned innovative IMHO. It's not perfect and it could have used a little more polish, but it has the potential to be this generation's Beyond Good & Evil. Unique premise, fun gameplay, interesting characters/story, etc. I'm definitely glad I picked the game up, so I guess you can consider that a recommendation.

Yeah, after the demo I knew I had to have this game and I was talking myself into paying full price. But I'm glad this deal came along.

Might have to unload GOW and Halo 3 for Fallout 3.
