I usually don't trade games in because they give you crap value for them, but I had two copies of Twilight Princess so I decided to check what the trade in value was. The give you a base value of $35 for it, plus an extra 10% with your More Card, and there is also a coupon for an additional 10% in this months Game Informer, bringing the total up to $42. Not a bad deal, considering the game only costs $49.99 in the first place. Just thought I'd let you all know, in case you are done with Zelda, or have two copies like I did. Oh yeah, and before you ask, the only reason I had two copies was because my uncle gave me the game because he took his son's Wii away until June when school gets out because his grades have gone in the crapper since he started playing Wii everyday. Gamestop is also doing trade in two Wii games get one Free right now, not the best deal ever, but if you got games you don't play, it may be worth it for you
[QUOTE="rbrown3"][QUOTE="BeErBOnG29"]Trade two games in and get a one USED game? LOL.BeErBOnG29
no, one new game Oh ok. Well that still isn't the best, but much better then what I first assumed lol. Yeah, I still don't see it as the best deal, but I guess if you just have games sitting around that you don't play it's kind of worth it. I wouldn't do it personally
[QUOTE="reggie186"]Wait...isn't your cousin going to want that game back in June?rbrown3
That's his problem, he shouldn't have gotten 4 F's and 3 D's on his report card, I have no sympathy for him mmmmmmmm, tough, what was his "original" grades

Thats not "cold" at all, that's his father being responsible by taking his Wii away.

What his father did was fine...but when you went to sell your cousin's stuff...that was so totally cold.

it wasn't his stuff, his father gave it to me, I asked him if he wanted it back after he got his grades back up, and his exact words were "Hell no, he's lucky if I ever give the Wii back to him in the first place"

Ahh... I see.
Yeah and I would have just held on to the game and gave it back to my cousin whenever his dad gives him his Wii back, but he also told me not to do that. My uncle is 7'2" and about 300 pounds, so I try not to get on his bad side.

how dont you see it, i get it
Not what I typed. Anyone who looks at the previous page can see that.
no my uncle was being a good parent, my cousins grades dropped drasticly so he took away the cause of the grades dropping, how is that heartless?? If other parents cared that much, our school systems wouldn't be in the condition they are now.

If other parents cared that much, our school systems wouldn't be in the condition they are now. This isn't really being a good parent. It sounds like your uncle did NOTHING until he got his kids report card... then he went "oh sh**" and decided on a quick-fix by taking away his Wii. Why didn't anything happen at progress report time? Why didn't he keep in touch with his son's teachers? This isn't terrible parenting... at least he did something but I wouldn't call it good parenting. Oh well... your cousins loss is your gain. 42$ in GS credit (or did you somehow get cash?) kicks ass.

Actually my uncle was on top of it the whole time, when his grades first started to slip he only let him play Wii on the weekends, then he took it away for good. My uncle is the basketball coach at the school, so he is always in contact with all the teachers. Also, he took the Wii away for good BEFORE progress reports came out, he gave me the Zelda game, and couple of other games a while ago, my cousin just got his report card on Friday, and that's when we found out how bad his grades really were
Dude, your uncle rules! I did the same with my son. Not only did I take away his rights to the Wii, but the Cube, DS, and GBA. No video games, TV, toys, and the list goes on. When I was a kid my Dad would have burned everything, or smashed it with a hammer! So you see, just taking the Wii away is not so bad. Who knows if he gets the grades back up (and keeps them up, of course), he might get another Wii as incentive. That's what I do with my son. He knows that everything he has is a privilege and can be taken away. Hell, my Dad took my car away my senior year in high school as punishment one time! Man, when you have a reputation in high school, you try to maintain it! But when you're Dad forces you to ride the "Cheese wagon" half the school year........whoops, there goes the rep! Man, my friends ragged me forever for that one! But hey I would not have graduated if my Dad had not done that. Part of my problem was my ego was causing me to think I was too cool for school (sorry, for the pun!). So me thinking more about my image was causing my grades and attitude to take a dive. So he rectified that REAL quick! Call that a serious wake up call! So it can be much worse....TRUST ME!
