Wii/PS3 Gamestop/EB Pre-order Trade-In Deal Update >
2006/09/16 19:10:30: Posted by DM
Earlier today, a flyer surfaced which touted a new trade-in PS3/Wii pre-order deal that Gamestop/EB is running. The offer maintained that in order to ensure that you could pre-order a next-gen console, you had to trade in over $50 USD worth of merchandise (per console). This meant losing over $100 USD worth of trade-in goods to pre-order both the PS3 and Wii. This understandably upset many gamers, and prompted many to call their local stores. Most of the stores called had no idea that this offer existed, much less the details of the offer. Well, one of our readers who claims to work at Gamestop has given us a reason why that is so. Of course, rumor mill for now since we cannot verify this person's story, but it does sound plausible.

This is, in fact, true for stores in Hawaii and perhaps some other areas. They are a test market for the idea. If it works, GameStop will roll it out at a later date nation wide. The reason it does not say EB Games on the sineage is the lack of EB branded stores in Hawaii.

*UPDATE: We have multiple reports coming in that this deal is, in fact, in place in Hawaii, so this report is seeming more and more credible.
