I dont understand the limits of this gamestop ad.?

Well I am trading in my wii and numerous other things to get a xbox 360 and gta 4. I found a good deal, but i dont understand it. Here it is.————-
Trade any games towards the reservation or purchase of GH: Aerosmith (PS2, PS3, 360, Wii), Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3) or GTA IV (XB360, PS3) and receive an extra 20% Trade-in Credit!

Expires: 5/18/2008. Full trade value amount must be applied toward reserve/purchase of title. Trades must be in full working condition to receive full value. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Trade-ins subject to manager approval. See store associate for details. No dealers.

Does that mean that the 20% will only be added to the games or to everything im trading in. Ty for your help.

Sounds like just the games. My advice is to try to sell the wii and the games outright. Odds are you'll get far more in return than your trade in credit.

Not to slam gamestop, it's a good business model, but they make a killing in trades. The trade credit they offer is far less than wholesale costs and their retail price on used is not substantially less than new. The profit margin is far greater on trade/preplayed. Most people do the trade-in program because they don't want to deal with the hassle of handling a private sale themselves.
