I totally took advantage of this... Traded in a couple games and came out with 130 bucks lol.

NovusTerminus4332d ago

I would... But we have like the only Best Buy that doesn't take trade in's.

Snookies124332d ago

Well that sucks, Best Buy is kind of expensive, but can't complain if they're offering trades like these...

Queasy4332d ago

I did the same. Walked out with the last Skyrim Collector's Edition.

DrRichtofen4332d ago

Dang $130! what games did you trade in?

Snookies124332d ago

Uh, two Vita games (Unit 13 and Hot Shots), Naruto Generations, BF3, Sonic Generations, and Blazblue CS.

xyxzor4331d ago

In reality it's not that great of a deal. They give you pretty crappy trade-in value for the games. $14 bucks for Dragon's Dogma? Psh lol.

Ascalon944331d ago

Do you guys think its worth picking up the Vita with this deal??

Soldierone4331d ago

There are other deals floating around that give you afree game. I think it was target that also included a memory card. If you can find those I'd go with that.

Otherwise I guess this deal is good since you could just use the gift card to buy a big memory card instead of a game.

Ascalon944330d ago

I dont know whether to wait for the AC bundle that comes with a white vita or pick up this great deal. What do you think? PS nice avatar pic.

Soldierone4330d ago

It would be personal reference. I don't think you will be missing a whole lot if you waited. I mean you pretty much have the Metal Gear collection right now, the good games don't come out till Assassins creed hits really.

If you can wait, yeah I'd wait because it looks pretty cool and I enjoyed my white PSP.

Ascalon944330d ago

Yeah thats the problem though because I kind of want to have one when I start college which is early August. And this seems like a great deal especially to start the summer off. Overall I have a week to decide so we will see.

My favorite is always going to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I know some people didn't like the addition of the run button. But, man that game is burned into my memory from childhood, lol.

Relientk77162d ago

That's the one I played the most as a kid. Fun times gaming on my Sega Genesis, the memories

Terry_B162d ago

Deception, MK2, MK9, MKX ..rest.

Kakashi Hatake162d ago

MK2 will always be the best in the series. Been playing a lot of MK1 lately though. Definitely enjoying it more than any other NRS era MK game.

Tankbusta40162d ago

1 and 2 were cultural phenomenon's.

specialguest162d ago

I will always have a special place in my memory for MK 1 and 2. You had to be there during that era at the arcades. Martial arts tournament fighting movies were still popular, and MK 1 was exciting. Real life motion captured characters done well (unlike Pit Fighter). A cast of characters we all liked like Bruce Lee(Lui Kang), Van Damme(Johnny Cage), the Lightning god(Raiden) from Big Trouble in Little China, and Ninjas, gotta have Ninjas. Goro was menacing as hell. The MK arcade had some of the best speakers similar to Killer Instinct as you could hear the loud crisp and bassy sound that was distinctly different than other arcades. MK 2 improved greatly on the controls and fighting mechanics
