    Re: The Official Best Buy Gamers Club Thread

    Only took advantage of one Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. Traded in the PS4 Pro controller for $27 to GameStop and purchased a new older model PS4 controller and a $20 PSN card. Since I had credit, I only had to pay $1.19.

    Pre-ordered FFXV last night mainly due to the $10 reward certificate.

    Other than that, I was basically waiting for the B2G1 free deal at Best Buy. Will go through the games this week to see how many im buying. Watch Dogs 2, Mafia III and ROTTR are pretty much guaranteed. All other games will depend on if they're on sale.

      Has anyone else noticed trade in values have taken a big drop?

      Games like Titanfall 2, GTA V, etc.

      I believe last week Titanfall trade in was $40, now it's $15.

        Titanfall 2 was last at $40 on November 14th. I know this because that was the day I traded it in and the next day, it dropped to $30.00 and two days later, dropped to $25.00. I was so happy that I traded it in that day. Battlefield 1 and COD IW also dropped that same week to where I traded them in on the 21st for $25 and $30 respectively.

        I realize that majority of games drop within four weeks of being released. Sometimes, it's sooner. Of course, wasn't Titanfall 2 on sale this past weekend? When games go on sale, the trade in value almost always drop.

          Like usual the trade in values drop with sales. Haven't paid much attention this week, but last week since damn near everything was on sale, the trade values were extremely low.

          For example BF1 was $15...

            I would imagine trade values will go back up with games being full price again?

              According to their website both Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 are regular price and still trade in for $15.
              I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                I wouldn't expect that at all, if it was just a normal sale, maybe, but not industry-wide stuff like Black Friday. The trade in value of some titles will absolutely be permanently impacted.

                    That sucks, guess I'll have to wait until BB has a trade in bonus or something again.

                      It is always a better option to sell your used games at Amazon or EBay. U will get more than double than a measly $15 trade in...

                        PS4 copy of TF2 is worth $15.54 at Amazon.

                        It's all supply and demand.

                          I'm sorry. I meant to do exactly what GameStop does. Sell your used copy on Amazon to other consumers. That is far superior. I do this for all my used games and the hit isn't as bad if the game blows.

                            Doesnt it cost money to sell stuff on Amazon?

                              It comes out of the sale when someone buys. They charge 8% to 15%.

                                If you can trade in the game within a month from when it was released, you'll most likely get good trade in value for it. Right now, BF1 and TF2 are six weeks old. COD is four weeks old tomorrow. Add in BF/CM sales and yeah, games were going to drop in trade in value.
