Saints Row could have been another one.

Yes. Bring in any Pre-owned chart game and get a brand new chart (different chart) game for £14.99.

...if it's in stock...

They have Crackdown, but no Lost Planet or GOW, which are the 2 I want.

Maybe I'll get a chance to go to the other one in Exeter tomorrow, otherwise I'll have to wait till Wednesday.

Hmmmm, normally I'd say get Crackdown because you can get 30 hours out of it in about 5 days and then trade it back in for something else, but in your case I can't. :(

I still say give Crackdown a try it's surprisingly brilliant and actually goes beyond the hype. They didn't need to hedge their bets with the inclusion of the Halo 3 Beta either. It's absolute gold while it lasts.

This Blockbuster thing isn't as good a deal as I first thought. First they need you to trade any game on the list THEN you have to pay £14.99 on top of that.

I got GOW anyway and ended up trading in some other stuff for Lost Planet.

I'll have to get Crackdown some other way...

Yes, I clearly explained that. Hence why you have to trade-in a recent title (worth about 26 quid in store credit) and then get the other game (obviously you want to go for one worth 30+ quid) for £14.99 (using your credit) this leave you with bonus store credit.

Basically it's like buying a normal game except you get about 10 quid store credit on top of it.

But you then need to trade in 2 games, as the credit on the first one (the one in the Second Hand list) doesn't count towards the £14.99.

So: Trade in Saints Row (£17 Store Credit) as the trade-in, then they want another game to pay for the £14.99...

:S

That didn't happen with me, it was the first time the girl'd done it. I got the trade-in value and then used it to get the 14.99 game.

I don't get that, you should be able to use the store credit from the trade-in to get the £14.99 game that became a 14.99 one from your trade-in.

Hmmmm, I'm going to have to double check this with the 'Buster people before I try this again for Ghost Recon 2. :S
