I believe it's every $10 you spend, you get something like $1 in return. When you trade in games, they give you the new game and count the game's value ($65 as for Transformer) and get $5~6 back as reward point even thought you didn't spend any money. You can then use this point toward next single item purchase.
The best part is, even when COD WAW worth only $7 in EB, it's still on the list of their T2G1F. I was able to get 2 of my COD WAW to RP for a new game. They told me as long as it's not a pile of 10~20 same games, they are ok with 2 identical copies for same console. They have record of what you traded anyway. |
Thanks for the Info, I'll think about joining RP.
But from what I remember their promotion are pretty limited? no? usually it's only 1 or 2 games that qualifies for their trade 2.
On the other hand, EB has promotion on pretty much every new releases and it's much easier to rack up credits at EB me thinks

But it's just my personal preferrence.

WM, BB, FS all selling at $40. Do it before tomorrow, or it will go back to $60~65 in every store. FS/BB dropped to $40 because of WM's 3 day sales.
Not sure about co-op. I dont have no one wanna play with me yet. 
Now the next one will be WM's Blur for $20 on Friday. Damn, it's fun to buy all the games cheap. hahahah....

But if you can find turd works for RP that's also cheap, then RP is T2 and EB will be T3 for the same game. RP has limited selection, but they are also slow in updating their TIVs. | |

hmmm... guess it's because of all the Game Guarantee. lol. You will start to see lots of used copy in EB in the next few days. 
FS comes with DVD of transformer, BB comes with jazz unlockable. take your pick.

It's sold out because of their Game Guarantee and Power Trade combined made most gamers order 2+ copies from them. I did 2, someone on rfd did more than 4+.
It's the best combination EB has to offer.
I traded 1 BFBC2 + $5 for 1 copy and GOW3 + $10 or so for the 2nd. GG will get all of my money back if returned in 7 days.  | |

If you are still interested, I am returning mine at EB (brand new sealed) mostly right at the spot telling them it's $40 at FS/BB. | |

Was tempted to get more games to trade again the next day but don't know what I could do with all the extra controllers.
I only needed 1 extra.

i like EB because the credits you get from trades aren't tax applicable (not sure if it's the same with RP)
RP seems to have very good deals at times but I was always too cheap to get the membership as I remembered they offered it for free not too long back..so I will wait for that.
but all in all, i don't like trading games just because it's so much work. I'd usually just wait for a high TIV game to go on sale..buy a couple..then trade them for powertrades at various EB's...and that usually can give me new releases for a good deal.

hint: exchange controllers with the one come with game for $5 more, then you have more waiting to be traded. | |

I agree. never thought about RP before until I got 2 COD WAW became useless at EB. Then I realize my $10 was back just after 2 trades which is not bad at all (well toward a game purchase anyway).

Even Transformer WFC is violent, but at least no blood is showing on the screen. | |
