The games that you trade in at JB are being sold as pre-owned games for $59 each. if they sell 2 pre-owned titles that's $118, so they make a profit of $39 over the $79 price of Mario Kart Wii. JB wouldn't do it if they think they're losing money.

But no one would buy the pre-owned games for 59 bucks each-they'd get 2 for 50 at EB. I personally reckon for JB to start having trade ins was a bad idea...

Anyway, where did you get it rosswea? Does it work with the wiikey?

The 2 for $50 promotion at EB is for a limited time only so once it's finished then they go back to their regular prices. And has anyone notice how much EB is charging for their pre-owned Wii games? they're like $5 off the full retail price!

at JB, pre-owned Wii games are $59. you can get Zelda TP, Godfather, Resident Evil UC, and more for $59. people will start going to JB when the promo at EB is done.

ZOIDBERG said: So EB have trade in 3 games get it free?

yep. tough decision there isn't it? lol.

CAN anyone let us know if they have pre-ordered Mario Kart Wii at JB by trading in 2 games?

OK here's some bad news. JB has updated it's list of games that they WON'T accept as trade in. Guess what? The new list now includes the games that are on EB's 2 for 50 promo (like Marvel Ultimate Alliance and TMNT). see, JB isn't stupid.

Silence, you should update your first post as it's no longer current.

The deal is offered by GameStop - you trade in 2 Games PLUS pay $10 dollars for Mario Kart Wii. It's really not a better deal, because apart from the 2 games you have to hand over, you still need to fork out $10. Also, GameStop will only accept games that are on their list - sort of the opposite of the exclusion list.

Probably better to buy it at Big W instead of Myer.

Big W always sell their games cheaper. No doubt Mario Kart will only be $79 or so.

JB Hifi are selling it for $79. Appears to be the cheapest at the moment.

Myer is a joke, don't go there. EB Games charge full price, so don't bother without a price match. Best bet, on the day of release or the catalogues for that week, Big W, K-Mart, Target will have a good deal. Lately it has been Target that have come up with the goods. Although I think they will probably have it on special for $89.95. People find it hard to lower their prices to JB Hifi, except for EB Games.

here is another way to get Mario Kart Wii cheaper:

MARIO KART Wii for $67.15 NO TRADE-IN REQUIRED

1) Visit EB Games website and register to get their Webmail newsletter.
2) You will get a 15% Off voucher emailed to you. Print it.
3) Bring your voucher and a JB Hi-Fi catalog to EB.
4) Ask EB to price match Mario Kart Wii for $79.
5) Hand in the 15% Off voucher. Pay only $67.15.

I did this with No More Heroes.
