Too dumb for the internet
I drove 45 minutes to the EB where I pre-ordered my PSP, cause they told me about the trade in 3 dvds get $10 extra bucks deal. I get there, and I am told that only two of my six movies count towards the deal. I have more that I want to do, but they refuse to tell me if they will take them over the phone. I'm not even asking for prices, just asking if they count for the deal. If anyone can lemme know about these titles, I'd appreciate it:

The Terminal
UHF
Perfect Storm
Wrongfully Accused
Dickie Roberts
Resident Evil
Money For Nothing
Eraser
Matrix Revolutions
Matric Reloaded
Down To You
Charlies Angels
Mystic River
Basic Instinct
Scary Movie 3

Also, I am perfectly aware that several/most of these movies stink, so you can save yourself the effort on that one. Or not. :)
 
Do all EB's have this right now? I don't trade games in, but I would be willing to part with a few sucktacular movies such as Island of the Dead and Crime and Punishment in Suburbia.

The's just the problem here, they're not gonna give you bonus credit on the worst movies. Because everyone's first thought is, "oh wow, I can get a bunch of credit on these terrible movies I have." They have a big database of well known decent movies, and then a generic listing for all the others. If your movie isn't in the database of normal movies, it's not going to qualify.
 
What are the details of this deal?

Just an additional $10 on top of the $6 they'll give you for three DVD's, if they're on the okay list, or $10 extra for each movie?

I've got some stuff I'm looking to unload, and if I can turn it into games - WOOHOO!

The details are Trade in 3 DVDs and they will give you an extra $10 credit total. You can do a total of 9 DVDs, so you can earn an extra $30 in credit.

The stuff I tried was pretty crappy, like a Bob Marley DVD (not a recent one) and some classical DVDs. The problem is, they don't tell you over the phone that they don't take everything, and all it takes is a "this is good for most recent movies" or something like that. If they won't give you that courtesy they should at least tell you what they will take over the phone, or god forbid on that thing called the internet.
