If you were trading it towards Madden, you would get 40 bucks, and if not, then the value is still in the computer. They will not take it, but every game has a value set before the game comes out.

And no, that's not "how they roll." Ever hear of shrink in retail? How about excessive positive shrink? You move one used to new, you've made anywhere from 3 to 5 dollars of profit into the store...do that more than once and you've gone on a list. Your regional Loss Prevention manager will not be happy. Neither will the Regional Vice President, and certainly not his boss either. Get the drift? This site seems to be full of GameStop bashers...too bad none of them seem to be more enlightened than the average bashers.
