This is a terrible deal with their extra 50% deal they have going on till the 14th. Pointed this out in another thread.

Been looking to buy a PS3 for the past week but all the Gamestops / everywhere else within a 50 mile radius is sold out constantly. Any tips where to get one / get a good deal? Don't want to go craigslist route, would rather buy new, and want a slim 120.

Your not going to find a "deal" on a new PS3 right now, if you even find one at all. Your going to pay 300 for it, its to be expected right now. I would recommend trying amazon or bestbuy, buying online might be your best bet.

i agree with that, i got my ps3 a lil more then a month ago and no one had the 120 gb and i had to buy the 250 gb, so try online and hope you can find

atm i dont think there's any deal on PS3, but did you try searching in military base stores? there's a ton of them in the military base i go but then again I know not everyone can shop on them but someone you know might.

How do you figure?
I was thinking about trading in NFL 2010 (because it'll be like 4 bucks 3-4 years from now) and SSBB cause i never play them (don't want to)

Would this still be a bad deal on my part.
(I mean, of course it's bad for me business wise since they'll slap a sticker for nfl 2010 for 50 bucks and SSBB for 50ish too)

Well Madden I know trades in for 18. What the hell is SSBB? Im guessing blazblue?

I would say that one is about the same amount.

Say 36 for both, add 50% to that. Giving you 54 in store credit, leaving you to pay 10 and some change instead of 20 + tax.

Also yeah, their giving 18 for madden and reselling it for 55, still, lol.

Super smash bros. brawl.

So I should just go trade in those two games for the 54? less ripped off eh?

Pretty much, it should bring about that or a little more. You'll end up paying 10 bucks less.

[Kyo]

With the 50% extra they have going on currently, that 2 for 40 off GOW/FF isnt a good deal at all.

[ChooChooTrain]

Thanks for the explanation.
Also, thanks for saving me some money in the long run lol
Guess I'll buy MAG as well as GoW3.

Make sure to get that trade in done before the 14th, thats when it ends.

[Caiyuo]

Nice, I never really pay attention to trade-in offers when they aren't for specific deals so I totally missed that.

Yeah, I'm going tomorrow before work.

Oh also, forgot to mention, if you by chance have an edge card or have a friend with one, that stacks and will get you another 10%.

You're my financial angel, thank you. 3:

No problem at all and yes they save your info in their system.

How much (or whats the catch) is it to sign up for an edge card now-a-days? I had one ages ago before I learned about Gamefly. I'm thinking of trading in MW2/KZ2/Resistance2/MGS4 myself here very soon.

[Kaisha]

I believe mine ran me $3 to sign-up for, and the catch is that it has to be renewed within a year. I purchased a used game that same trip, and the discount offered on the card offset the price of the card itself, so it was a win-win for me.
(although I rarely buy used games unless it's either rare, or the price is too hard to ignore)
