This might get me to look at this game. I wasn't a huge fan of 1 and 2 but maybe it's 3 times lucky.

Lets hope the campaign isnt as crap as BF3

And NO ONLINE PASS = WIN!!!

Also, interesting that inFamous 2 is on the accept list considering its about a month away from being platinum...

So you can buy infamous 2 for $46 then trade it in for MW3 which has an RRP (on average from the rip off bricks and mortar stores in Oz) of $79

NOT BAD.

Exactly

If I wasnt already getting Modern Warfare 3 from PlayAsia for some bargain basement price, I would have done that!

Yes I wasn't going to bother with MW3 with everything else going on at the moment, until this offer showed up.

Have a copy of Infamous2 that I'm never going to play again so what the heck!

I see JB have now nipped the Infamous 2 trade in the bud. They must have got a stack of people taking up that offer and finally did the math.

That's what I traded. I just couldn't get into the groove with BF3. MW3 is better but wow these games are starting to show their shallowness with each ever increasing release.

Interesting to read about MW3 on the various gaming websites. Metacritic has (as of 11:31am Nov 13....my birthday indecently) that the user reviews (X360) based on 5027 users is 3.1 out of 10 and PS3 3106 users 2.7 out of 10.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY dude

User scores on metacritic are crap. Wasnt Uncharted 2 given a 1.0 out of 10 on metacritic thanks to spammers??

I went to get rid of BF3 today and the best I could get was $40 off JB - I didnt want to trade for MW3 coz I've already bought that from overseas

Trade for MW3, sell brand new LOCAL retail version on ebay for $60+. ??? Profit.
Could have pounced on Skyrim for $63 yesterday as well.

It can't be underestimated how much demand there is for local versions these days.

Thanks dude. Yeah 28 today.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA if only.

I remember that. Yeah Metacritic has some issues in the User Review portion of its site. I mean yes it's uneventful from a "WOW this is new" perspective but it certainly doesn't deserve those low scores.

Yep $40...what a joke.

Then they'll turn around and price it at $89+ on the shelf.  Which someone might actually buy it for.  

Kinda staggering really but it must be earning EB enough revenue to justify the shelf space devoted to 2nd hand games.

Speaking of which - huge game sale on at EB - pre-owned games (and even new ones) at reasonable prices!

Traded Battlefield 3 to JB hi-fi, got $40 store credit

Was a toss up between Ultimate MVC3 and Sonic Generations - then I spotted Lego Harry Potter 5-7. Sold.

Those lego games are terrific
