Camp Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Not bad. The CE is probably going to be similar to the Halo 2 CE. This is an attempt from a 2nd (or 3rd) tier game retailer trying to secure your purchase before the big guns roll out their marketing plans for Halo 3. Blockbuster is willing to take the loss to get you in their doors. Your only risk is that you may not get it from Blockbuster on the day of launch. If that doesn't bother you it looks like a nice deal (especially if you trade Xbox, PS2 or Game Cube games). I doubt the higher tier game retailers will make offers much better than this. They will likely be better suited to get you the game on the launch day but they have more to loose by offering deals. Still, waiting for better deals might be something to consider.

Graeme Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I got Halo 2 for free with 3 games traded in at EB back in the day... then used my credit to buy a PS2 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Good point. Depending on the titles it's not difficult to trade 2 Xbox 360 games for one brand new $59.99 game. That's just taking advantage of regular trade values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'm pretty sure I can get 4 $10 xbox/ps2/cube games from my grocery store to trade in. Sweet. Do you think they'd accept those Burger King games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBardon Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 If it's anything like last time, there's a minimum trade in value for the games. They had a similar promo with Gears (and a bunch of other games), and the 8 Xbox/gamebube games I took in were all under their threshold. Ended up trading Kameo and Pd0 for gears (since it was 2 360 games at the time). I'll have to stop by and check it out though-thanks for the tip.

SCREWNUT Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yes here's the catch. Talked to my friend who's a manager for the store here in Goderich. The games being traded in MUST give you at least $7.50 Canadian back in credit. However all xbox 360 titles and PS 3 titles register as $7.50 credit! So here's my list. Chromohounds (not what I thought it would be) NHL 2K6, Mortal Kombat annilation and Halo 2 (don't need it with GOW and Halo 3!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
