Just to let you guys know, EB gives you $27 for this game if you trade it in.
The EB's near me in Long Beach only give $15, while Funcoland was only giving $9. I took mine to a local gameshop and got $15 credit. I envy you, that you got $27 for it.

I went back today with two more and they had lowered the price to $15. Still not a bad price.

Guys, make sure the game has instructions. I took it to EBWorld and they say they would only pay $2 bucks without instructions. It may be different on your store, but just a heads up!!

Well, I tried to get this the other day and it said $24.99 so I passed, then after reading this post about it ringing up at $9.99, i went back. The guy told me its supposed to be $$9.99 and he didnt ring it up. Even the manager said its a computer glitch. Looks like you guys are lucky to get it so cheap.

Once again Blockbuster reminds me of why its one of the worst stores out there, even with their "deals." $16.99 for used dvds (with a very small selection of course) and every used game $24.99 or more. I tell myself never to go back every time I leave, yet I still feel the need to check when I hear about a "deal", even though they never ever have a real deal.

You guys will love this one

Blockbuster had this title for $9.99 the just before the 25% off sale started. Now they have raised the cost of Maximo to $24.99 now that the 25% sale is on. It gets even better...they left the big $9.99 sticker on the outside of the cases, and put a small sticker with the $24.99 sticker over the top of it (so you can tell that they inflated the price for their SALE

Got a truly SWEET deal outta BB on Sunday.

Maximo was still stickered $9.99 on the shelf (last copy), brought it up and it rang in at $24.99 -25% because of the change in the computer.

BB Guy: "That will be $19.04, sir"

Fanboy: "Uhh, pardon me? The sticker says $9.99"

BB Guy: "Hmmm, yes it does. Let me see"

[Looks into computer as if it were a crystal ball]

BB Guy: "Okay, I know how to solve this!"

[Gives me $15.00 credit towards my purchase]

BB Guy: "Alright, that will be $4.04, please."

Fanboy: "Thank you VERY much!"

Best part? Opened up the package when I got back to the car... the disc is BRAND NEW! Never opened, never rented. Thanks BB for your stringent hiring practices.

I noticed the price increase as well. Mine was marked $9.99 and they still refused to sell it to me at that price.
