I don’t know how it happened, but the Fall is already here. Basically, all of us have entered a collective form of group time travel, and we’ve managed to skip the summer and get straight to September. Metroid: Other M released on Tuesday, and a whole other round of games is marching inexorably forward. Soon, they will pile atop us, a colossus of entertainment waiting to be felled by our magical swords of light. You know what I mean.
While I know there is a debate that goes around amongst us about trading in video games and buying used games, I do know there is a portion of us that maintain our gaming addiction through this very practice (I count myself as one of those junkies). I’m not a big fan of the practice, but with big titles like Halo: Reach looming around the bend, some of us are trying to scrap together money however we can. For other manic trade-in users like myself, I thought I would post a handy link to GameStop’s trade in offers for September 2010.
The used games retail giant actually has a few good trade-in deals going on at the moment, including offering $40 towards Metroid or Halo: Reach for bringing in any 2 games in a slew of titles. That offer lasts until Sunday, September 5th, so get a move on if you’re interested. On top of that GameStop is offering an additional 25% for all trade-ins that go towards Dead Rising 2, Metroid or Halo: Reach.
There are some other deals, too, but those are some of the highlights. Who plans on buying any of these games? Has anyone played Metroid yet? Report!

I’m going to get Reach, so I’ma trade in MW2 and WaW. I’ll miss Shi No Numa and Der Riese, but I can just borrow WaW from my friend if I really want to. Sweet deal, this’ll really dampen the blow to my wallet!
I’ll definitely go for Reach, but I’m currently cursing Gamefly for the fact that I only own one game on the trade-in list. Guess I’ll have to settle for the additional 25% on Red Dead, but I don’t promise not to get a little choked up as I pass it over the counter.
As for Other M, it’s definitely going on my back burner list.
While I don’t like trading in games for a number of reasons, that is one very good deal. I’m currently on the fence about Other M, having read the reviews for it.
