I was just wondering if anyone knew if Best Buy was doing a trade in promotion for the PS Vita.  I know several of the other video game retailers have deals going on and I'm hoping Best Buy will because they've been very good to me.

Best Buy is doing a trade in deal. $75 for PSP, $100 for 3DS toward the purchase of the Vita.

Awesome, I have a PSPGo that I've been looking to trade in. Think I'm going to do that tonight as that's the best deal I've seen so far.

Thanks for the info.

[LilGerman]

I know those are the deals, but I'm not sure when those deals go live. I'd call your local store to have them double check it for you

[brendonjs]

Oh thanks, I'll double check for sure

[varucell]

Is there any word on this?

[brendonjs]

I haven't seen anything yet, but I think BBY does deals like that on a weekly basis.  Their current deal is for a couple of games that have already been released.

So I saw in the ad that BB will be offering the trade in deal, but it only gives information about how much you will get for a 3ds. I would like to know how much you will get for a psp-3000.

the buzz seems to confirm $75 for any PSP even the PSPgo.

Also be aware if you already have home/mobile wifi there's a deal that'll also take another $100 off the PSVita price. There would no longer be a need to get the 3G version with this either so you'd get the wifi version for $75. And the mobile hotspot would cost $50 along with the monthly plan you get.

It would have a been nice to get a comment on here about it because I had to sell my psp-3000 for 35 dollars.
