Gamestop semi-deal ($40 trade in NCAA for Madden preorder)

It is probably like this every year but there is a deal where if you pre-order Madden and trade in NCAA for it they will give you 40 dollars for NCAA.

So, if you are on the fence in regards to NCAA but are for sure buying Madden you can "rent" NCAA for $20.

I understand some don't buy EA products due to their stance on the exclusive license but it isn't too bad considering gamefly is close to that (for two games, granted) but this ensures your copy of NCAA at launch without the week wait time..

Re: Gamestop semi-deal ($40 trade in NCAA for Madden preorder)

I made out on a deal recently at gamestop where they would multiply the trade in value of the games by up to 40 % with 6 games.

I was growing tired of UFC 2009 (Career mode was boring and the main fighters were basically good for 'fight now' type matches and that was all)...

So I traded in:
UFC 2009
Fight Night Round 3
NCAA 2009
Spider-Man 3
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (AWESOME game but I played through it)
NBA 2K8

With the 40% bonus and my 10% edge card bonus I got

Fight Night Round 4
Daxter for PSP (used @ 5 bucks)
and a Preorder Deposit for Madden 2010 and NCAA 2010.

So, not bad all in all. Generally I hate the weak trades they offer you but the UFC trade in alone was bumped up to 55 bucks about. I beat Uncharted, NCAA 2009 is useless once 2010 comes out to me, FN round 3 was just replaced by round 4, Spider-Man I hadn't played in well over a year and sucked overall, and NBA 2K8 well, I skipped 2K9 and still have CHoops 2K8.

Thanks for posting this.

You can also sell it on Ebay, and you'll make more than Gamestop will give you. For the first couple of months, you'd make almost as much as the retail price.

Or you could just rent it from Gamefly. It's roughly $8 for the 1st month if you only do the one game subscription. So, it'd be like selling it back for $52. Only downside to this is you probably won't get the game on the release day.

I posted this for the people who are on the fence so to speak and favor Madden. This way if they don't like the purchase they can at least put it towards Madden.

Ebay is nice and I've done it a lot but with the fees/hassle sometimes its worth taking 5-10 less.

Gamefly is nice but as I mentioned, where I'm at turnaround is abysmal, so there is no point waiting a week and a half and then 2 weeks for another title.
