I always sell my used games on ebay and have gotten more than the gamestop trade in value.   to list a game for sale, print shipping labels in paypal and drop in the mailbox on the way to work only takes a few minutes.

And because Gamestop jacks up the cost on their used games you can always buy them cheaper on ebay as well.

example.

I just called gamestop and they said the cash trade in value for COD WAW was $10.80.

I just sold that same game on ebay for $33.  After basic shipping, ebay and paypal fees it takes off some of that profit, but you still got more than double the price.

Yep. Ebay is always the way to go. The thing is, when people say they traded in 3 games and got $40-$45 it sounds good and all, until you realize that just one of those games is going to be turned right around and sold used for $45.99. So basically Gamestop is getting more for one of your games than they gave you for all 3. It is a total ripoff.

Also, some people on Ebay are just idiots. Sometimes you will get way more over the value. Occasionally I'll put a game on there expecting to get $20 and some idiot will jack it up to $35 in a bidding war with another moron.

i resisted every urge to leave the house at 12am and get this game.  now i am just waiting to leave work at some point to get it and play.

[Seabiscuit36]

i'm waiting till 11am, but i want to call off work when i get back

I am really impressed with the game. The new weapons are awesome.Tthe ability to carry a small uzi or shotgun instead of a handgun is crucial. There are so many new things, I can't even begin to list them. Overall it just feels better. Controls feel better. Loving the silencer on sniper rifles as well. Havn't even tried campaign or co-op yet, having too much fun ranking up and getting new weapons etc...

I ended up getting it at lunch, got the prestige edition with night vision goggles, should be crucial during the great zombie war of 2012.  Only played single player but wow, its fast paced.  I cant wait until later to get on MP, but i'm stuck cleaning the house, got another showing of my refrigerators

i checked into xbox live yesterday and almost everyone on my friends list was playing that yesterday.  i just don't think i'm good enough at video games these days to get into a game that complicated.  i just started playing GTA4 which is super old and i'm having a hard time.

[Seabiscuit36]

at one point there was 23 of my friends online and playing it.  This game is Epic.  Phatty, its not too hard, just gotta get used to the controls.  We usually play as a team, and can pick up slack.  Plus its fun to hurl racial slurs at people

i've never actually used the headset to play before because it seems pretty gay to talk to 12 year old boys, but thinking about shooting people up with you and sunny and mussa while calling people Romes sounds kinda funny.

[mussa]

yea you will get slaughtered in multi-player until u get better at it, more u play better u will get.

[General_Failure]

Just call everyone bro or brah and talk about how wasted you got last night. You'll do fine.

[mussa]

totally

[SunMo]

and everybody either sounds like a 12 year old girl or james earl jones...it's really weird
