My attempt to get a free PSP

Okay, so EB Games is having a deal. Trade in 8 games, with a minimum trade-in value of $8 each, and get a free PSP. Free. As in $0.00. Of course, the amount of money I originally paid for these games is well over the price of a PSP, but I figured that I'd rather have a new PSP, than a whole bunch of games I don't want.

So I excitedly spent an hour (probably more), digging up all my games. I found 11 that were either DS, or Wii. Only 6 of them are worth more than eight bucks. And the thing is, since I'm trading in Mario Kart, it only really counts as $8, even though I could get $25 for it on its own. That sucks.

So I'm off to find two more games that are cheap, and have high trade-in values. Not an easy task. If any of you R4 owning readers have some extra games to spare (actually, games from any system would be great), please drop me a line.

But if all else fails, I'll go out and buy Brain age 2, and Tetris, both of which are $20 retail, but have trade in values over $8. How that makes sense? I don't know.

But I want my free PSP.
