You will be able to do this once the title is released on the 27th, but most stores will let you pre-order the title now and then do the trade in on release.

Passa: lol. Sorry about that, the game is Call of Jurez. The JB Hi-Fi list was one of the last ones I typed up, so you can imagine how tired I was.
diogenes92: What TheAnswer said. The trade in deals also actually last until early May, I should have put that in there.
Tom101007: BWII price isn't advertised in the current catalogue, but rather the JB Hi-Fi website:
Linky
When did you purchase it?

I didn't take it as a dig, I'm just in the habbit of apologising when I make typos. We're still cool. 
As for Prof. Layton, he's 59.95 at a few stores in the list, and 56.99 at toys r us (asuming they do the usual 20% off DS games). Likewise, Fire Emblem should be 79.99 at Toys R Us.

Hi i know I bagged people on here about finding deals and buying games and trading them and stuff - but if you buy 2 copies of Tiger Woods 2007 from DVDCrave -$30 each, you could trade them in to JB and get GTAIV for cheap.
Not sure if anyone can be bothered doing that - but just a thought.
I've already preordered the US version so not for me!

Their catalogue states "no multiples of same game accepted"...but there's plenty of other good/cheap trade bait around.

This has happened to me a few times, but I've always got the Games Attendant to mark it down for me before purchase.
I'll be honest, they may not give you the discount/refund. But if I were you, I'd print the whole advert from their site (ensuring the URL is at the bottom of the page) and take it in the shop along with the receipt. Explain to them that the website (and other JB stores) have it at that price and you feel jipped. Be nice about it at first, but if they refuse you can say that it's false advertisement, which is illegal.
Now this next part I personally wouldn't do, but it is something that I've seen others do and get what they want. If they still refuse, you can say you buy stuff from them often, and in future you'll do your shopping else where. If you want to go further, you could also threaten to complain to consumer affairs but that's kind of going a little far for my tastes.

Tom, take your receipt and grab a copy of the catalogue as you walk in. Point out the dates on each and say you are entitled to the lower price. If they offer store credit insist it was their error and that nothing less of a refund of the difference is acceptable.

^That's the thing though, it isn't advertised in their catalogue, only their website.
I'll be adding Game's deal of the week in just a moment, and I'm changing the date of the JB Hi-Fi deals to end on May 2nd. The catelogue gives different dates than the website, but the website will likely be more accurate given the time it takes to print and distribute etc.

I'm never going to get an answer about Pro Evo Wii, am I D:
I'm surprised there isn't actually more hype for it around here, since from all reports it's basically the best representation of soccer ever in a video game.

I don't do release dates.
According to the PALGN release list, it's being released... tommorow! Get your wallets ready.
