OK, simple maths time.
Top Spin 2 360 is $53 to trade in at EB Games. If you have an Edge card, thats $58.30 (extra 10% trade value)
What do you get if you buy 18 copies of the game? Apart from a $450 debt.
You get $1049 in EB credit.
Thats a PlayStation 3 paid in full.
Other games worth getting:
Fight Night 3 on PS2
Top Spin 2 360
Tomb Raider XBox
Big W is the first place to try.
These trade values should be valid until Tuesday 26th July.

And substitute PS3 for anything else you want for about 40% of the RRP

how much do you get for FN3?
also can you can CA$H?
or is it just store credit?

If you go for cash, you get 20% less, but not all stores do this - only some at this stage. The trade in value you get otherwise is only store credit - so for preorders or purchases on the spot.
Dunno exactly what FN3 was, from memory about $40 on PS2.

ok
do EB care if you trade in multiple copies of the same game?
is there a chance they will drop the trade value tomorrow?
I bet a heap of people are trading in these games

They shouldnt care if you trade multiple copies - after all, its profit for them in the long run. It's unlikely theyll change tomorrow but its possible I guess. Call up in the morning, and ask. It'll be the same value later that afternoon.

Just keep an eye out for stocktake sales and high trade values I guess. Unlikely there will be much around until after christmas/next july.

Yeah I missed it the first time around - I was thinking back to the 360

Oh.
Well in that case, yes it IS this shit all over again!
Although it would have worked out much much better than the 360 job.
