Deal is back again for a third time but with an increased trade-in value required.
The 1000 V-Bucks is given in the form of a $15 PSN/Xbox Live card and doesn't need to be used for the purchase of v-bucks

doubtful as can get it for $12 pre-owned or $19 new from EB basically whatever EB has for pre-owned on there website take about 1/3 of its price and thats how much its worth in for trade in value.
Nope, already called. Trades in for $6.
Actually, $4 just checked a couple hours ago.
so first thing i want to know is can someone point to some cheap titles that i can purchase for close to $10 that can still be traded back in for over $10 trade in value, last time i tried trading some games in they were worth sweet FA.
Read through the old deals above.
Problem with looking through old deal for cheap titles that worked is only needed to be worth $5 before , plus eb has price cut alot of stuff recently so trying to find stuff worth $10 trade in value now is harder
Ah, apologies for the tone.
Best way is to call them unfortunately, or wait for others to report the prices here.
NBA 2k18 for switch was worth $18 before bonuses a few days ago
Trade in a game temporarily to make use of this deal then buy it back under their ‘zero regrets’ trade policy. Outcome: 50% off $30 Xbox/PSN credit.
Did this today with RDR2. Traded in, got my $30 PSN credit. Lined up again and said I changed my mind about RDR2 and bought it back for the same price I traded it in for.
RDR2 only trades in for $15? Oh man.
Lol nah it’s like $30 something lol. $15 goes towards the credit and the rest on a gift card. Didn’t look too closely because I was gonna buy the game back anyways.
Trade RDR2 game
$15 —-> PSN card
$15 —-> Credit
paid $30 to get the game back. How is the outcome 50% off when the amount you got matches the amount u put in?
@darkoverlord: I think @epicttiimm means they got $30 trade in value for RDR2. That was put towards $30 of PSN/Xbox credit. This deal gives you an extra $15 free PSN/Xbox store credit. So $30 gets you $45.
(edit) spelling
hmm i wonder how there zero regrets trade policy works for those trade in 2 games and get new release for $29 deals
(profanity). Traded in two copies of Victor Vran the other day for 11 each figuring they wouldn't bother doing this deal for the next season of Fortnite. (profanity) (profanity) (profanity).
When was this? I asked them about VV trade-ins a few weeks ago for their Far Cry Pink deal and the value was only $8 or $9ea.
I realized after the comment that it was including the EB 20% extra, so it must have been 9 and change normally.
Depending on the store / clerk though, they might run it through as being a 10 buck game and give you the V-Bucks, hit and miss based on past efforts for myself.
Neg from me. Got me excited for nothing. There were a few copies of this game at my local JB selling for $5 :(
@first in line: Neg from me.
Still stand to make money on the game, and like I said, you'll likely have luck getting them to take it anyway with a L4 card, just try a couple times while the promotion is on.
@TheDukeOfNukem: i think you just got lucky and traded it in before they dropped alot of the cheap titles to $4 with this epic clearance thing running at EB as i called EB and they cut the trade value for VV to a $1.50 or something now
i am now looking for titles that are old enough to be on discount elsewhere but haven't been dropped below the $10 trade in value needed at EB and from what i can find there is not much older stuff that meets the $10 trade in value now
looking for titles close to $10 to make the $29 division 2 deal worth it but its hard as can just get standard edition for $66 so unless i can get 2 titles for under $20 its not worth the hassle.
you realise they DO have a No Regrets policy in place right? so you can just buy them back today and (in a separate transaction) re-trade it. boom extra credit.
So…
If that’s the case….
Mwa ha ha ha.
so it only works for games with trade value below $15 as anything above that ur basically paying for the $15 credit?
Mass effect andromeda is only $3 value
That's $3 too much
Well yeah, it's been on clearance at a tonne of places for 5 bucks or so new, what do you expect?
For all the talk of EB going under, them doing this promotion…again, honestly gives me a bit of confidence that they're still doing alright.
EB need to switch from selling discs to online codes only.
If they keep insisting on discs they are gonna go the way of record stores…
The opposite, EB make a ton of money off pre-owned. Pretty hard to sell an pre-owed online pass.
The next consoles wont have disc drives..
It's sad that almost the only way to use this is with the zero regrets policy. I don't want to be a douche and use that.
And I wont. But it pretty much makes this a non-deal.
I traded Spiderman, base price of $36 + $15 bonus credit + bonus credit for EB World. So got $56.40 in total.
I traded Madden 17 for $15 ($16.50 including my EB Games membership bonus credit).
Pretty sure I bought it for $15 a few months ago.
where did you buy it for $15, trying to find some cheap titles that trade in at least $10 for the division 2 $29 deal but having little luck finding anything cheap that still has decent trade in value.
I got it from Microsoft on EBAY a couple of months ago.
EB really needs to publish their "Buy" rates like CeX does.
These games qualify ($10+ value);
Stardew Valley is $10 at Target I think
That is correct, however it's harder to find now.
i wonder if we can use the stardew vally $10 from target image to price match it at JB or even at EB
I can confirm I just got nba2k18 for $5 from BIGW and turn it into $35 PSN Credit (EB LV3)
damn looks like WA is cleaned out of nba2k18 on switch, no stores near me have stock either bigw or EB games. doesn't even come up at JB hifi
The guy in my local said that the $15 extra is triggered as vbucks, not standard $ credit.
Was he dead wrong. I assume he was.
Although the promotion says vbucks, there is no such thing as a vbucks card, it’s just a standard PSN/Xbox store card so it can be used for anything
Traded in Pure Farming 17 on the PS4. Value is over $10, can’t remember.
Can we get Nintendo eShop credit?
Nope, not this time.
Just managed to get eShop card. The only problem is my local EB requests all the amount including trade-in credit and $15 bonus go to vbucks…
For those wondering Wolfenstein New Colloseus and South Park Fractured But Whole has less than $10 trade in value at EB
