Trade-ins can get you Mario Kart for $10

by Candace Savino { Apr 7th 2008 at 1:30PM }

We haven't come across many deals for Mario Kart Wii, but one way that you might be able to get the game cheaply is through GameStop. By now, most of you are probably familiar with how the games retailer works (and can efficiently read post titles), so the fact that trade-ins are involved shouldn't surprise you. Specifically, though, this deal is like the recent Brawl one -- you have to trade in two games from a preset list of titles, and then you can pick up Mario Kart for ten dollars.

Just check after the break for the complete list to see if there are any two games you can part with.

If my girlfriend would let me get rid of Carnival Games I could bring in Rayman Raving Rabbids as well! That probably will not happen.

Timdogg @ Apr 7th 2008 1:38PM

...or you could sale the two games on eBay and make a little extra cabbage for the next title you want!

Undead Priest @ Apr 7th 2008 4:58PM

...or you could sell.

Timdogg @ Apr 7th 2008 5:28PM

Harsh much... yeah I guess I could do that too...I could also sail or something else too...*off to ponder the english language.

Chris Gregg @ Apr 7th 2008 2:07PM

They listed Brawl. ROFL.

Mr Khan @ Apr 7th 2008 2:23PM

so $100 of retail stuff gets me $40 off?

Its better than other "deals" they've pulled, especially given that some of the games on that list are worth less than that

vidGuy @ Apr 7th 2008 4:45PM

If you look in the right place you can get some of these games for $10-$15. So you get $40 off for trading in $20-$30 of material. Pretty good if you ask me.

Eddie @ Apr 7th 2008 2:42PM

it's worth it to note that if you take games in that are worth more than 20 dollars (brawl, mario galaxy) they still tack on the extra money, even if it exceeds the 40 bucks. this really wasn't a bad idea for brawl, considering the amount of people literally clamoring for it, but i don't know about mario kart.

If only Elebits were on there...

Dopple Boppler @ Apr 7th 2008 3:21PM

My sentiments exactly.

dorian @ Apr 12th 2008 12:24AM

or last years madden or marvel alliance

michael @ Apr 7th 2008 2:32PM

I could easily drop Cooking Mama and Mario Strikers Charged. Haven't played them as much as I thought I would have... hmmm...

Mr Khan @ Apr 7th 2008 2:49PM

Oh i haven't played Strikers Charged at all since August

But i know, one day, i will

David Hinkle @ Apr 7th 2008 3:11PM

Well, you know, we do a little thing here called Game Night where you could find some folks to play that with. :)

TBH, i picked up Mario strikers due to the wifi aspect, but sports games aren't really my bag. I work full time and am a student part time. it's hard enough to get my game on with the games I REALLY REALLY wanna play - let alone all the games I bought but have just sat there (Marvel Alliance.. ouch, my bad).

Alex @ Apr 7th 2008 3:27PM

Well I never plan to play Ghost Squad again, but I don't have the box for that game, so... I dunno if they'll take it. But no other game I have I am willing to get rid of.

Tom @ Apr 7th 2008 3:37PM

There's quite a few stupid titles in that list, but SERIOUSLY!!!! Givin up Brawl, Galaxy, Corruption, TP, RE4, No More Heroes, Strikers,MoHH2, etc for Mario Kart? No thanks.

zrockstar @ Apr 7th 2008 3:43PM

If you're like me, and picked up Brawl but never play it! You can trade it in at Blockbuster for $35 and pick up Mario Kart Wii for $15. Not a bad deal for trading in one game. I think I've only played Brawl once. It was with friends over, but no one enjoyed it becuase they're not into fighting games and didn't know how to play, so we moved on to carnival games, etc. I think MK will be much more party friendly!

JMO of course

What a strange individual....

lotrfish @ Apr 7th 2008 7:44PM

Carnival Games over Brawl...

Wow, just wow.

Candace Savino @ Apr 7th 2008 7:51PM

C'mon guys, it's all good. To each his own :).

Dig @ Apr 7th 2008 4:00PM

Okami? That will only be out for two weeks before Mario Kart arrives.

steve @ Apr 7th 2008 5:53PM

brawl for mario kart....
BLASPHEMY!!!

zrockstar @ Apr 8th 2008 7:38PM

You guys have to understand that you must be a "fighting" game fan (no other "real" play than battling with one or more players) to enjoy this game. I never did like the boxing games on NES, or any other game that didn't have a story or goal. Don't get me wrong, I totally see the strategy side and see how some people absolutely love these games. But believe me, it's not for everyone. I totally fell into the hype of this game from everyone who is obviously a "fighting" game fan, and bought the game with no other knowledge. I thought the single-player campaign would make up for it...mistake. I would wager to say though that I am not the only nintendo fan boy who is not a Brawl kind of guy. So yes a trade in for MKwii makes perfect sense!!!!
