    Question PS3 Trade-in Suggestions...

    So... i got GTA4 and MGS4

    i wanna get Bad Company

    MGS4 has a trade in value of $25
    GTA4 has a trade in value of $20

    i think i wanna get rid of GTA4 cuz i dont have the desire to play it again and the Multiplayer is not as fulfilling. i wanted it cuz my brother in Japan has it and we can merk each other. but... i REALLY want Bad Company.

    is this a smart move?

    also if anyone has COD4 for a good price lemme know

    Those are gamestop trade in values? If so, I think you get an extra $5 trade per game. Also, you can use this coupon to get 20% off a used copy of Bad Company. If you had an edge card, you could have a total of 30% off

    oh shít! you right!

    thats... 1, 2, 3... 2 days from now!

    i gotta get my money up.

    umm... tell me how that works again?

    Bad Company is 54.99
    using my Edge Card it brings it down to 49.99
    with my trade in (GTA4) it'll be 29.99
    are you saying i can STILL use that coupon on top of all of that?

    Edge card gets you 10% extra on trade ins as well as 10% off used games. So 10% extra on your trade in of GTA 4. I believe the other $5 promotion qualifies when you trade in 2 games at a time.

    When buying BC, you get 10% off with the edge card, in addition to the coupons extra 20%. So thats about $38.50 with the discount? With your GTA 4 trade in, you'll roughly pay around $10 out of pocket

    No problem. You said GTA 4 has a trade in value of $20. With the edge card, TIV is $22. Then BC is 54.99, so .7*54.99= 38.50

    So, I did mistake the trade in value earlier, as I was looking at MGS4. Anyways 38.50-22= $16.50, which is how much you will pay out of pocket for Battlefield: BC

    Also, if it were me, I would probably trade both MGS4 and GTA 4 in. If your not playing them anymore, trade them in now before the value gets any lower. If you trade in both, you'd have $49.50 worth of credit.

    You would not have to pay out of pocket and have $21 left over that you could put on a gift card for later. $21 comes from the exrta $10 you get for trading in 2 games.

    .7 being 70%, which is the percent you'd be paying. Also, if you do end up trading in both games, you could pay with all credit and there would be no tax added to the price you would pay.

    yea, once you have beaten GTA4 there is no real reason to keep playing it, and your right the multiplayer does suck, lol.

    And bad company is a very good game, the multiplayer isn't that great but it has it's moments, if you liked BF2 multiplayer you should like this one, but the singleplayer was awesome, the sounds/graphics are superb.
