[Nintendo Switch] Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze - $29 When You Trade in 2 Games over $5 @ EB Games

560

Hi all,

Just got an email from EB saying that you can trade any 2 current gen games (ps4, xbox one or switch) with a trade value of over $5 and get Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze for $29.

Pretty good deal as likely we all have a couple junk games in our collection. Remember of course to check to ensure said game trades in for $5 or more by asking at your store or calling.

        • @first in line: not much really, asked to do trade deal towards DK. I already knew the 2 games I used for the deal had a value of over $5 as I checked yesterday.

          @spuderump: what games did you trade in?

  • Any xbox 360/ ps3 games worth over $5 at EB?

    • Fifa 18. The rest? Probably under $5.

  • Just did this today trading in a couple of old PS4 games…PES 17 & MLB 15 (North America version).

    No problems. :)

      Thanks! Appreciate your effort

    • +1

      Gta V for x360 is $7

    • +4

      Thanks so much for the list.

      Went into Big W as suggested above, but unfortunately Batman Telltale series had gone back up to $42

      So wandering into JB Hifi and went through all their pre-owned games. Cheapest from the above list is NBA2K16 at $12. So bought 2 copies.

      Off to EB games and traded my $24 purchase in for $50.95 off Donkey Kong.

      I bought 2 copies of the PS4 version, so not sure on XB1, but it was also $12 pre-owned at JB (can't promise it will trade at the above $5 rate on XB1)

      If you can't find NBA2K16 then Fallout 4 was $14 so still makes the deal a $23 saving. There was one or two others that were $14 as well. (once i found NBA for $12 i was just looking for lower ones)

      Alot of the other games were $19 at JB, which means only a $13 saving and probably better off just buying at BigW/Target or price matching on the day.

        cheers

        love it when ozbargainers share their stories of how they got their bargains

      • Very cool, thanks for sharing kulprit.

        It seemed like a LOT of the PS4 games traded in for at least $7 at the lowest level, except for games like Destiny and a bunch of sport games.

      • Thanks for the run-down! My closest JB has NBA2K16 @ $14 and Fallout 4 at $19 though so it pays to double check the local pricing I suppose! Far Cry was the only $12 game I could see

        • From the rest of the thread, people were doing much better at CEX than i did. I went to my closest one and they had no games below $12. And i felt it was very risky buying older gen games without knowing for sure they would make the $5 minimum.

        • @kulprit:

          Yeah, I've got to go a bit out of my way for CEX so considering time and petrol, it probably evened out anyway for me. Win some, lose (less than others) some!

  • Anyone know what ping pong VR trades for?

  • My jbhifi were clearing out Psvita games for $5 each traded 2 in at eb for $50 lol. I wander if you return the donkey king game to eb with in 7 days do u still keep the full amount

    • what games was it? that's a surprisingly high trade in value

      • Am surprised many Vita games are above the $5 minimum. (unless of course they ignored that rule for this particular trade)

        • which ones did you trade in?

        • @first in line: one was chima LEGO game normal trade was $5 and terraway normal trade was $7

        • -6

          @Alexsim: i thought u said u traded them to eb games for $50??
          i got terraway too and the trade value at eb was $7

  • Did this today.
    Brought 4 PS4 games in to EB.
    Traded the 2 lesser valued ones in for the deal, Farcry 4 and Infamous Second Son.
    Then Traded Dragon ball Xenoverse and Journey in and payed the $29 off and got $5.50 on a gift card.
    I'm Level 4 ebworld

  • Is this advertised anywhere else? I can't see it on their website and I never received an email about it

    • i wish it was. My local eb games is only letting me trade 2 switch games for it

      • lol with the resale value of switch games they are killing it

  • +3

    Here’s a pic of the email

  • Traded stick it to the man $5 base and second son. Little big planet 3 has base of $10 for those wondering. All PS4

    • $10, excellent cheers

  • I just did this today. My receipt shows Donkey Kong at $80 value and the two trade in games at $58.60 value together. I paid $21.35.

    They said value on the trade in games were $7 each, plus 15% for my EB world card.

    Traded, Battlefield 1 and For Honour xbone.

    It doesn't seem to add up to me?

    • They wouldn't give me the 15% on top of the trade value (which is fair enough and i wasn't expecting). I think you lucked out in your favour.

      Game is normally $79.95 and should end up being $29.00 out of pocket. So no matter what each game was actually worth (as long as above $5), they give you $25.48 trade in value for each game.

      You got the 15% on top which is awesome.

    The Order: 1886 trades in for $5..just did it!

    • Thanks for this. I originally picked up the The Order for $5. Win!

  • Any idea how much Journey on PS4 will trade for? I have 2 copies

  • Is this deal still active now that it's released?

    • +1

      Apparently for the first week of release.

  • If you're near a CEX, you can pick up a range of games that will hit the required trade in for much cheaper than what you'll find at JB or elsewhere. I picked up Thief and Evil Within for 6 bucks each, so 42 for the game in total.

  • Nice deal. Traded in Has-been Heroes on switch and GTA V on X360 today, both $7.
    Does EB do this deal regularly?

    • No, first time I've seen such a deal tbh.

    • +1

      They did the same thing for Crash Bandicoot
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/314356

      • The best thing about the deal was the lack of that $5 minimum requirement, which led to stores receiving stacks of FIFA 14 that are now gathering dust.

        • Guess they learnt their lesson for this time

    • So you can use last gen games for this deal?

  • They did this deal for Dragonball Fighter Z too, but I always thought the games are suppose to be from current gen

  • So can I use a PS3 game? GTAV?

    • yeah as long as its worth at least $5

  • Just got it for $12 for trading 3 ps4 games in. 2 of which were games I now have on PlayStation Plus.

  • I did the deal with 2 NBA 2K16 for 12 bucks from JB, then they just let me price match target for 69, so DKCTF was bought for a whopping $43.

    • Damn, i didn't even try to price match on top. Should have tried at least i guess.

  • Extra list of games that satisfy $5 trade in value for anyone trying:

    XboxOne:

    Ryse: Son of Rome
    Madden NFL 25

    Ps4:
    Battlefield 1
    Final Fantasy Type-o HD
    Watch Dogs
    Starblood Arena

    Besides Battlefield 1 @ $11 I didn't note if the others were higher value or not, just that they would work.

    • Thanks. Hoping ready for next time people can make a list of previous gen games that should make the $5 minimum. Should be easier to find cheap second hand for trade bait.

  • Just traded in tearaway psv and assassins creed liberation psv and paid $29 for the donkey kong. Trade in value of the psv games are $8 each.
