Uncharted 2

EB Games is currently having a deal where you trade in 2 games and get a $59.99 game for $9.99, 64.99 for 14.99, and 69.99 for 19.99.  However, you must trade in a game with a tiv of at least $8.

Yesterday I picked up a copy of Uncharted 2.  I rarely trade in my games since I enjoy them and want to maintain a “collection”, but I traded in Uncharted and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.  These games had a tiv of $8 and $9.  In addition, I got rid of all my ugly red cases.  Uncharted 1 was good, but not a game I would play again.  As for GT5P, I had to get rid of that game quick because the full version game is coming out in Feb.  The more I wait, the lower the tiv, and the harder to sell in classifieds.

Also, I actually saved money for once from trading in games!

Back in the day, I bought Uncharted for $22.5, and GT5P for $25 (actually I only paid $5 along a free game I had).

Total = 47.5

I had to pay $9.99 + tax = $11.29 for Uncharted 2.  Retail value is 59.99 + tax = 67.79

So, I saved 67.79-11.29-47.5= $8.99!!!!

I finished Uncharted 2 today.  AMAZING game with beautiful visuals.  I just have a problem with the monsters because I hated them in the first and this time they are much harder to kill.   Humm, maybe I should buy Uncharted 1 to complete the collection.  Buying it back won’t be a problem because the value I gained from trading in is more than buying it again.
