They are fazing out the product. I don't expect to see it past next year EDIT: Prices are also case by case if they beat GameStop's. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/halo-4-pre-owned-xbox-360/7045786.p?id=1218826418513&skuId=7045786&cmp=RMX&ky=1whxm51gbOgORrn6M8JOUlLjDtR0yY7Rx http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/games/halo-4/91448 |

They are currently fading it out in certain stores, not all. At the moment, from everything I can find, there are no plans to stop it online. And unless you know something I don't, there are no plans to stop accepting trade ins And yes, it does vary gamt to game, however if the game is less than a year old, I tend to find better value at Best Buy, also moer sales/specials like buy 2 get one free, etc. Not that Gamestop doesn't have them, but they seem to be more frequent at BB.

They are giving $25 for each. I'm not knocking Gamestop, but I feel they have gotten a little greedy over the years and some competition will do them good. I hope Walmart's used market goes well. When there is healthy competition, the CONSUMER is the one who benefits. |

I have mixed feelings about Gamestop. It's kind of a love/hate relationship I guess. But I don't think that GS is in any danger of going out of business any time soon. The company makes money hand over fist selling used games. Further down the road I think they may find trouble unless they change their business plan though. Right now physical media is still the bread and butter of the game industry, but I think that will unfortunately change over the next decade. As physical games become less common GS will have to shift gears to survive and thrive. I imagine them either slowly dying out, or eventually going back to dealing retro games again. Either way, I don't think that Walmart's decision to enter the used games business is going to make much of an impact at all. Both Target and Best Buy deal with used games already and it probably hasn't even made a dent in Gamestop's profits. |

If they ever went bankrupt they would probably have a sale no video game generation has ever seen. All the games would be dirt cheap and instead of buy 2 get 1 free it would be buy 1 get 2 free! |
