The trade-in value actually went up on a few titles overnight. Gran Turismo 6 went from $18.32 on Sunday to $10 yesterday and it is currently worth $12. Of course, I traded my copy in at $10.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
Turned in 3 games yesterday and 6 more today(2 transactions, one right after the other) for a total of $220. Only game I turned in that I could say I did not really play much of and will just get it down the road later cheaper was GTAV. Got it as a XMAS gift but could not pass up the $49 in trade-in value that I received today for it. Turned out to be a great deal for sure as other than GTAV I had not touched the majority of the games in the last 6 years easily.
As of right now only looking to get Destiny(XO) at launch and figure to use a good portion of the rest for my BF shopping this year. Heck, I may even have a little left over even.

Heads-Up on a must-get deal on GCU for those who don't already have it [as seen on CAG]
I've been waiting for this deal to come back around. *Best Buy will be running a half-off their Gamers Club Unlocked membership from 5/25 - 5/31. *It's normally $119.99 and will be on sale for $60. *They run this promo every once in a while and it makes the membership worthwhile.
*
Assuming Best Buy is still around for 2 years, here's what you'll get:
*
Gamers Club Unlocked Benefits:
Get 20% off new video games for 2 full years
Get 2x base points on new video game software, digital content, and game accessories
Get 2 points for every dollar when you trade-in games
Get points on gaming consoles
Redeem Reward Certificates on nearly everything at Best Buy
10% bonus trade-in credit on your video game software trade-ins
10% off pre-owned games
Buy two, get the third free on pre-owned games via special welcome coupon

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
They still have the $10 promo for the majority of AAA releases and it stacks with the GCU 20% off, so you're actually getting a $22 discount. And for some releases, like Wolfenstein, they still do the $20 promo, so effectively $32 off. Not to mention the 20% off applies to all new games, so if you're on the fence on something, you can wait for a sale and then get it even cheaper. I love the new GCU and would drop $60 to extend it another two years if I was confident Best Buy would still be in business in 2018.

Glad you had a good experience. Their system was down again the second time I went, so I said heck with it and traded Metal Gear Solid HD into Best Buy for $10 (got the digital version from PSN for cheap recently). I was also going to trade in Mass Effect Trilogy (and get the PS4 version at some point), but said screw it and I'll just play through it on PS3...

EXACTLY. I used to eat this up on amazon, get $10 or sometimes even $20 credit, sometimes towards another game or anything, always roll it into something else, buy more stuff on amazon etc. Then it just went away, and now I barely preorder anything and just wait for a sale. Bummer.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
The Target deal was pretty damn killer for me. I got $46.35 for InFamous, $48 for ACIV, and 32.10 for Knack.
Knack actually hit a bit of a snag as it didn't have any inserts, which I had to explain to the guy was because PS4 games don't have paper manuals. Knack has instructions on the inside sleeve. After a slight delay I got the full amount.
The guy that helped me actually was pretty cool and said he'd actually sold back some games as well. He actually asked me if I had any more games to sell, which caught me off guard as I thought the limit was 3. I don't really want to sell anything else that has good value, so I don't know if I'll be back this week.
But walking out with $126.45 on a gift card isn't bad at all. Especially when I paid $40 for 2 of those games.

I picked up GCU and grabbed Wolfenstein. I did a separate purchase but I still had to have them manually enter the 20% off. Either way a good deal. Thanks to Decker for the heads up.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
I love how Amazon sent me an email about today being a Video Game deal day, and they have Infamous as the daily deal and 3 mediocre flash deals (Ghosts on PC only? Really?). I remember when they offered some really good flash sales on their video game deal days.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
so all the people who were railing on MS for dropping the price of Titanfall to $39.99 for a bit for the One, can you eat some crow about Infamous being dropped to below that price?
