Okay... Nobody is supposed to know this yet, so shhhhhh.....
Here's what is known. On November 4th, Blockbuster will start a new program that deals with customers TRADING IN their old DVDs and GAMES! I have absolutely no details as far as trade prices go or if they are only accepting PS2, Xbox and GameCube titles. It will probably be similar to the way Software Etc. does it.
Why care?! Well, not everyone has access to a GameStop, GameCrazy or anything, so this will definately be nice.

I thought I already posted this... guess it was a different board.
Yeah, another brilliant idea from blockbuster. Crash and Burn.

That's pretty cool I think. I work at a Blockbuster, so maybe some jewels will come my way.

Oh, actually, now I understand...
...will they resell the games themselves? That would be cool.

That's what it sounds like to me. Hey! Maybe some kid will come in with, oh lets say, a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga that I can get off of him for a whole $20. Yeah... And peanut-butter monkeys might fly outta my ass.

Only time shall tell if this concept survives... it sounds enterprising. There is a Blockbuster closer to me (about 15 min. from my house) than there is a Gamestop (30 min from my house).

means 2 things to me, they won't have commons yet, time to get rid of them.
and yeah someone trades in something good right away, prolly opened up some new people to this, get in good with your blockbuster early, have them save you boxes if they don't want them.
