well heres the poop:

i went over to my local gamestop to reserve ssbb and i put 10 bucks down on it. when i returned today to do that 2 wii game trade in deal, what ended up happening was my 10 bucks was returned, i traded in the games, and ended up getting a virtually free copy of ssbb (49 cents if your wondering). so with that extra munnies i just got a new gcn controller for brawl/other gamecube games. WHOO

You're still going to have to pay the $40 bucks on the day you go and pick it up.

Nice, but I still don't like trading in games to gamestop, because in reality you still lost money.

i'll be trading in mp3 and smg to cover the cost of brawl and my pre-order for mario kart.

smg was too short and too easy, and mp3 just didn't appeal to me.

i figure i may as well sell them before they lose value...

Not necessarily. I plan to trade in my used copy of RE4 and a new copy of Heatseeker, which I'll buy new for $20 from Wal-Mart. The most I could sell RE4 on ebay would be maybe $20, then factor in fees (both eBay and Paypal) and I'd get maybe $15 for it. So, in reality, I'm saving more money by just trading the two games in. I'm only hesitant, because I'm not 100% sure I'm going to get the game at Gamestop.
