Gamestop: Trade in 2 eligible games, get Assassin's Creed 2 for $19.99 or New Super Mario Bros for $9.99

Gamestop has a promotion going on now if you trade in 2 eligible games, you can get Assassin's Creed 2 for $19.99.
The eligible games are listed here:
http://www.gamestop.com/trade2

Most of the games you wouldn't want to use for this promo, but there are a few gems.

PS3:
Lego Star Wars Complete Saga - $19.99 at Best Buy (combine with current B2G1 deal)
GRiD - $17.99 used at Gamestop (plus 10% off with Edge) and there are rumors of a GS B2G1 used game sale this weekend

Wii:
Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009 - $19.99 at Best Buy but it's pretty rare.

Please post any other ideas that you can use to make this deal work for you. I know Amazon has a pretty good deal for Assassin's Creed 2, but for those with tons of GS credit (like me), this is a great way to get the game for less than retail by spending as little cash as possible.

Gamestop's system will always give you the highest trade-in value. If both the games are over $20 trade in each, then you'll get that.

He's talking specifically about the OP's post. Their list of eligible games to trade in for the OP's posted deal are mostly new/awesome games, and to need to trade in 2 of them to get a discounted assassin's creed is a bad deal since the deal is equivalent to getting $20 per awesome game that you trade in. You need to either basically lose money on your trade-in for this deal, or go out and buy some game you would never buy to begin with and end up either losing money or saving very little money because of taxes or shipping and handling charges or gas to qualify for this "deal" to work

Just copy and paste the link (not the link location because the SD forum information in that link is causing it to fail)

(was beaten to it)

No, I'm saying you will NEVER lose money through Gamestop's promos. If both of your games are worth $25 trade in and you try to use them towards this promo, you'll get $50 because Gamestop's system recognizes that the base trade in values for your games is higher than what the promo is offering.
