I posted this on the Gamestop forum, deal sounds interesting.
The way it's worded, sounds like you get an additional $25 discount if you trade select games toward any new game.

Though some of the dialogue makes it sound like you get $25 for these games, which doesn't make sense since many of the games on the list are worth more than $25.

For instance, New Super Mario U + Luigi U is worth $38 trade in, Mario Kart 8 $33 Trade in, etc etc

This deal is valid between May 27th, through  June 5th, 2016.

Hmmm...if this is $25 off plus the trade value of the game, I'm gonna have to make a trip. Uncharted 4 and Dark Souls 3 yes please. Thanks op.

That's what I am getting at...

The images make me think it's $25 + Trade value, but.. why would they do that?

they wouldnt, this is just gamestop's way of getting the uninformed to buy a new game thinking they have to in order to get the stated values.

 
Well I'm gonna call when they open and see. I'll make sure to yell at them if it's only $25 😉
 
Hmm, chances of this actually being trade in value + $25 credit AND stackable with 50% bonus credit towards Doom or Uncharted? I'm putting the over/under at 0.5%, but I'm going to try, anyway.
 
In the email that I received, it shows WWE 2k16 for $4.99 when you trade a select game. Select games give you a TIV of at least $25.

In the website, WWE 2k16 is priced at $29.99
$4.99 plus $25 equals, drumroll please... $29.99

Jiryn, deep inside you know better. Shut it down lol
 
Probably right, but very annoying since, as pointed out, many trade values are already at or above $25.
The point of the list is to point out the games they want, which are worth $25+, & that's annoying? Lol

Keep in mind the dates. This promo is running from the 27th of May until the 5th of June. The stealth and 50% bumps are over by then

It's annoying to word your advertisement poorly (they usually would say "get $25 trade credit") and to advertise that you can get basically the exact worth of the games if you follow some other criteria. I could get more or less the same value without having to buy a new game.

And yes, it ENDS June 5th. It STARTED yesterday, which provides a three day overlap with the 50% trade credit.

What is the 50% trade credit for?

I agree, it's the poorly worded BS that drove me nuts, instead of "Get $25 or more" they say "Save $25"
