I never thought I would be able to write a post about a moneymaker deal on video games, let alone when the seller is Amazon. but there are a couple of great deals going on at Amazon right now on two video games:
1) Amazon is selling the video game Glory of Heracles
2) I blogged about this last week, but the deal is better. Your Shape
Both video games ship for free with Amazon Prime or when you spend $25 on eligible purchases. So basically you could buy both video games for $29.49. Get $25 from Best Buy through their trade in program, a $10 credit on Amazon towards a future game purchase on Amazon and the $5 credit on MP3 downloads. Spend $29.49 and get $40 back. WOW!
Thanks Chief Family Officer!
Edited to add: Here is the list of all games you could trade at Best buy.

the gift card is for $25, but i think the check value is only for $16. i’m a little bummed… please correct me if i’m wrong! (i hope i am!) great deal though!
Can you really trade in Your Shape? I’ve read the list twice and see Game Systems. Is this more of a ‘game’ than a game system? Looking over the rest of the items, it doesn’t seem to fit. It would be nice if I am misinterpreting it though.

Can’t see where it has games- I only see – Game Systems. Will that still work.

Check value is $16. So unless you were going to buy something there anyway, not a good deal. Too bad.
If I buy Glory of Heracles, how do I get the credit and the MP3 credit? I am not seeing that on the page? Thanks for the help!
Lynne,
Scroll down the page and look under “Special Offers” for all of the details.

Now I see it thanks so much!! My son’d bday is in June and this seems like just the deal!! Thanks for all the great info on your blog!
I looked at the pdf link and didn’t see it on there at all, and a search by title on the trade-in site says value $11 (I don’t see anywhere that says there’s a difference between gc and check either).
