    Not sure if this matters to you kids, but I read those Beatles Rock Band bundles come with Generation 1 peripherals. Most reviews on the site are pretty pissed about it, they assumed since it's a new RB title it should come with newer RB instruments. #weekendcoupons

    I hate this time of year so much. I had nothing to play between Feb (KZ2 and RE5) to November (Uncharted 2) this year.

    Then all of a sudden I have:

    Uncharted 2
    Borderlands
    Dragonage Origins
    Modern Warfare 2
    Left 4 Dead 2

    and the crazy release schedule has just started! #weekendcoupons

    I just have to say: Gamestop's trade in value is HORRIBLE compared to FYE. I traded in NBA 2k10 for PS3 and ODST and got $63.50 in store credit. Yes, the same two games that would get you $40 via the Gamestop deal. You also get 10% off ALL ITEMS (exluding game systems) in the store with their club card ($20/year). As in not just used games, you get 10% off new games, too. (When the deal first came out, you actually got 10% off systems as well, but they have since wised up.)

    No, I don't work for FYE and, no, I'm not a paid shill. It's just such a better deal, I can't stand Gamestop anymore #weekendcoupons

    @Strangelove: Edge card is $15 a year, with a free subscription to Game Informer, which otherwise would cost $15 a year. So if you're getting the mag, the card is basically free.

    And every month or two, you can get an extra $5 per game you trade in. I traded in 3 semi-old games and got $45 towards Rock Band 2 on its release date, and CD Tradepost was only gonna give me $28 for all of them.

    So, not as bad as you make it seem. #weekendcoupons

    Yeah, but Game Informer pretty much sucks and you can get the same information available online daily and for free.

    Look, would you rather get $40 or $63 for two games? They pay more for trade-ins across the board. #weekendcoupons

    @Strangelove: Just to verify, there are MANY combinations on that list that will give you more than $40, invalidating the deal. I work at GameStop and it happens all the time. If you traded in 2K10 and ODST you'd probably get around 50 dollars.

    Not as good as 63, but better than 40. #weekendcoupons

    @staySICK: Columbia, Missouri. There's like 26 stores now.

    I managed one until I got insurance and my wife got pregnant, I was fired the next day. They didn't wanna pay for her insurance. Made me wanna strangle their vice prez (he's the one who did the firing).

    Then my next job paid double what CDT did, so I guess it worked out. I'm still suing them for refusing to even give me a service letter (my kids lost state insurance because CDT refused to send a letter stating when and why I was fired). #weekendcoupons

    @Cheesus(Crust): You paid $460 for all three of them.

    $220 for the first one.
    $120 for the second.
    $120 for the third.
    A grand total of "3 360's for $460".
    At$175 for each of them, you'll be getting $525 for all three.

    Subtracting out the $460 you paid, and you're looking at a $65 profit.
    So, roughly the cost of one video game, assuming everything goes perfectly.
    Doesn't really seem to be worth all the effort to me. #weekendcoupons

    $200 for the first one.
    $100 for the second
    $100 for the third.
    -$100 gift card left over(I sold at gate to someone for full price)
    = $300, unless you can't do simple math.

    Then I sell them for $525. Minus the $300 which I used to buy.
    = $225 profit. #weekendcoupons

    @Outkastprince: It's not worth it. Last year, Amazon price matched every one of the major retailers and I expect them to do it again. At best, Wal-mart might have some items worth going out for, but in that case you could go stand in line, do all your shoppping on Amazon and then walk in the store, get your one wanted item and then leave. Ha!

    After last year, anything I buy will be from Amazon. #weekendcoupons

    Hmm, is Old Navy typically a madhouse on Black Friday? I wouldn't figure they are (clothes shopping on Black Friday?), but I could be wrong. There's an Old Navy down the road where I work, I figure I could go buy a new pair of pants and snag a free game, but I won't bother if it's going to be a pain to shop there. #blackfriday

    @LAGamer: On the ad, it is written that "your preferred platform may not be available." I take that to mean that at the very least, the 360 and PS3 versions will be offered (and probably Wii, since it has the same MSRP).

    I'd actually prefer the DS version, which has gotten some good press. No plastic peripherals! But its MSRP is $20 lower. Who knows. #blackfriday
