Hmm...its still on their website that they are offering the deal.  Now I'm worried as I was planning on doing this this week.

Pretty much everyone has a spare 1gb usb stick lying around to set saves aside when trading consoles.

I myself have two 16 GB sticks which I use to carry all profiles/DLC games to friends place or between my consoles...

I'm going to need to do this if I can still get the trade in deal (i'm hoping its only for those local gamestops).  Do you have to do some sort of format or something to get them to work?  I'm really only concerned about my mass Effect (1&2) saves, but I really don't want to lose those...

Insert USB in xbox and go to memory

Choose format USB drive.

Done!

:)

You lose about 400 megs on 1 gig stick for formatting but 600 megs should be plenty to get important stuff over. Rest o the stuff one can re-download from the previous downloads list...

Did they put the store credit on a card for you, or did you put the money towards the pre-orders? Either way, they're selling you a crock of s#!t. You should be able to use that credit for whatever you want. If you want to cancel your pre-orders or whatever, it's your money and you can do with it what you want. They should never make you do what they claim you have to do. I'd ask to speak to their District Manager. Raise hell. Those employees are screwing you over.

Here is the catch they have me on.

When I traded those games they were worth 120 bucks. Games in Canada are 69.99 so that was 140 bucks that was needed. At the time they had a promotion "trade 3 get 1 free". So my 6 trades were "bumped" 20 dollars to be able to preorder Crackdown 2 and Dead Rising 2.

So they are basically saying that if i want to trade my games for a console and not the games, they have to trade those games back to me and I have to trade them in again without the "20 dollar bump".

But they do not know what trade in values they had in February and March so they are saying I have to trade my games for the console at todays trade in rates.

Its alright, I want those games anyways but I was going to buy them as they come out since I'll have money put aside for them by then...

But EB games can suck it from now on.

Funny that and there was  me thinking they were a business, turns out they are a 360 registered Charity.

EB games can definitely suck it...I bought MGS PW collectors edition and just as i stepped out of the store i noticed a dent and rip in the box.  Since im still there i thought it shouldnt be a harm to ask  them for them to exchange it for a copy thats in better condition. Not too much to ask is it? ......So as i went up to the guy that sold it to me and when i asked he did give me another one but he gave me some crap excuse like how the damage mustve happened when he gave it to me in the bag?? doesnt make sense and his tone of voice was giving me attitude too.  I looked at the new copy i exchanged and even that wasnt in great condition.  I just didnt wanna bother with that douche anymore so i just left. 

Yup, i would think that would be plenty.  I'm slightly worried about losing my "cerebus network" access in Mass Effect 2, but I think I read something that you can transfer your "online purchases" or something, so I'm hoping that works.

Will try the trade in tonight.  Really hope they are taking them here in Nebraska.

Dude, don't take it so personal.  Not very professional to feel the need to "even the odds" when you "work" for a multi-platform gaming site.  Tsk-tsk...
