Ok, it wasn't 100% free. But I traded in some older games which actually were worth more than the retail price of the regular version of MW2. So, after trading in my 3 games I was up 22$ and put that towards a pre-order of Assassins Creed 2.
The games I traded in were:
Mass Effect
Prototype
Mario Baseball for the Wii
My friend traded in several games and got it for 8.75$. He traded in:
Call of Duty 4
Gears of War 2
NHL 2K8
NHL 09
FEAR
Hitman Blood Money
it's funny because his game collection is now cut in half just so he could get MW2.
That what pisses me off about Gamestop and its monopoly on the games industry. There is no regulation on games since its so new and no one has taken them to court and thusly they charge us out the ass for these games which are often in shitty condition and "if" they have money on hand they will buy our used games but at a terrible loss to the consumer. Their system of value is rediculous as well as the honesty of the employee, who have charged "cleaning" fees on supposed damaged discs and cases when in reality my shit is damn near mint condition. I have been ripped off by them far to often. They offered me barely 7.50 for my Mass Effect Collector's edition and everybody at the store clerk and customer were telling me they'd buy it off me if I didn't trade it in. I kept it instead. I traded in Dirt 2 only a few months old and it got me 15 bucks.
I swear if my sister didn't work there...... haha. She's a key holding manager and pretty much keeps me informed on any updates lol, but I tend to not care too much since I scour the web alot. She's told me how they lie about stock and not buying games due to being "shorthanded" in the drawers, but its really just the regional and store managers decision. Sucks. I get more money at flea markets for my games and people know it down here which is cool, I can't tell you how many new/ish games that are in near mint condition and are dirt cheap. It draws big crowds but sells out quickly, I recently sold my imported ds lite which is how I could afford Ratchet, Uncharted and Dragon Age. Bitch bitch bitch I know!
@ Azrael: Nice dude! That game is a classic, I was a mere teen when it came out but damn that was some fun times. Are you playing it on a new comp? Like is it compatible with Vista?
@ Rhys: Mega Hails for that man, FFIV is one of my favorite FF's, I played it as a kid and I cried so much and the soundtrack is beautiful. Numero 9 is my favorite though.
@ Zeth: Haha that must be funny in NWN bashing the crates in. I never got the chance to play it. I was tempted to get the second edition's boxed set but I backed of because of space restraints. You'll have to tell me how MW2 is man, are you getting it for PC or console?
Chasing raiders around a supermarket with a baseball bat is hilarious fun when you're drunk and high. And in the game too!
