GameStop Buy 2 Get 1 Back up YMMV B&M

[Moray]

Starting today and going through Saturday GameStop has buy 2 used, get 1 of equal or lesser value free. Not sure if it's nationwide but all of the stores in my area (Mid-Michigan) are participating. If they aren't doing it today then they may be starting tomorrow as it's not officially in the systems yet.

[Jaket]

*GASP* IM SO THERE! this could be good if it is nation wide....

[XxFuRy2Xx]

used games or new games?

[Moray]

used games or new games?

That would be used.

[scott123456]

I assume you mean Gamestop.

[Moray]

I assume you mean Gamestop.

Edited post, sorry bout that. Yes, I meant GameStop.

[scott123456]

Just called my local one and they said No

[AzianAsspicker]

Yes, I saw this deal also. The store was the one located in Artesia, CA. Call and check to confirm

[FREAKMIKE3]

Call tomorrow to confirm. You will get a no today most likely.

[scott123456]

I hope they say yes tomorrow. I have just under $300 in credit to use. My location lets me combine hardware and software as long as the freebee is the software. Debating what to pick up but I have a few that I have been waiting on till the sale came back.

[PaulEMoz]

Hmmm. Psi-Ops, Red Dead Revolver and Prince of Persia for $53. Sounds good to me! :D

[Hksuperman3000]

these games must be at least 30 bucks to count as one of the 2 to get one free

[Powerforward]

I guess I'll call gamestop tomorrow anyway, but the $30 restriction really kills the deal for me.

[Strider Turbulence]

That's online only.

[Howeraing]

Doom 1, BOF 1 and Ikaruga for $42 total, great deal to me. Gonna call tomorrow.

[MadFlava]

Hey, thanks for the heads up. If anyone is interested the code to do this online is 3FOR2PO. But the 2 games/dvd have to be $29.99 or more and the free item must be equal or less than $29.99.

I was able to get some games I've been wanting for a long time.
purchased:
PS2 - Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (missed out on CC sale, damn this game is hard to find)
PS2 - Onimusha 3 (Price drop to $34.99 Used, $39.99 New)

free:
PS2 - Klonoa 2 (I've been wanting this game for over 2 years, finally pulled the trigger before it becomes scarce)

[PaulEMoz]

Can't see them doing that in store, they never have before. I bought Mobile Light Force 2. Red Faction and MDK2 in their last Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer, and the most expensive game there was $7.99.

[FREAKMIKE3]

Shit, I have about 15 dvds to pick up tomorrow I guess. I totally forgot I had some to buy when we started the next b2g1. Guess I will sign this paycheck right back over to GS.

[pimp tyranny]

sweet deal. i'm heading out there tomorrow.

[Rubberlegs]

I'm gonna go buy the location by my job and the one by my house. I always rack when this deal comes around. I wish the last GI mag would've come with the extra 10% off used stuff coupon. Thanx for the heads up.

[Thunderscope]

Is this valid on GBA games?

[fwacce]

I'm gonna go buy the location by my job and the one by my house.

I wish I had enough money to buy just one store, much less two.

[Thunderscope]

LOL, Geez give the guy a brake, just becase he spels bad!

[Powerforward]

I called the GS in Manalapan, NJ and they are not currently running this deal.

[fwacce]

LOL, Geez give the guy a brake, just becase he spels bad!

Guess that's what I get for getting so excited and not rereading my post before I submitted. I hadn't had my coffee yet by then. Nice one fwacce. LOL

God, please don't start that crap

[Pancake Rabbit]

has anyone got this deal in store yet? I'm not paying 30 bucks for any used games. If theres no in store restriction im there.

[Grave_Addiction]

Damn! Just called the local GS and they said the deal isn't going down in store.

[cheapskategamer]

Nothing doing at my local Gamestop either...

Medford, OR

[Strider Turbulence]

Nothing in any of the Boston, MA Gamestop stores either.

[vrs1650]

Nothing in Albuquerque, NM. That sucks, I was really looking forward to this deal. Made a killing last time.

[fwacce]

Nothing at my GS. They said these are regional.

[chosen1s]

Nothing in Minnesota

[Lord_Kefka]

I work at a Gamestop in IL (chi suburbs) and we just started the deal today. It hasn't "officially" started yet, some stores just got the O.K. early. If it's a bigger store, or one with alot of trade-ins, they should have it going. Should run through Sunday at least but it will probably go longer.

Here's the details, to answer a few questions I've seen posted.

Combinable on any combo of games i.e. used N64, GBA, PS2, XBOX, DVD's etc. The only things excluded would be any special sale items (like clearanced NES,SNES, etc.....)

Used system can be part of the B2G1Free, but you CANNOT buy three systems.

Any combo of games, accessories, DVD's is fine. Freebie has to be equal or lesser value.

B&M stores have no restriction on game prices. I.E. no "games have to be 29.99 or more" that's just online.

No returning the free game and trying to get a refund/credit. Get games you like, because we can't extend the deal past the expiration date if you try to return the games because you don't like the one's you chose.

Post any other Q's.

[PenguinoMF]

When does it start for all stores?

[goldendrag0n]

you know... I think this deal is off and on, because about a month or two back, my friend bought some used games at a GameStop and was offered this deal. Just buy 2 games and the third game will be free providing it is equal in value or less than the price of your lowest priced game.

[encendido5]

Nothing in any of the Boston, MA Gamestop stores either.

Dang... thanks for the info. That saves me a trip.

[Grave_Addiction]

Used system can be part of the B2G1Free, but you CANNOT buy three systems.

So wait, if I buy a used PS2 and a game, I can get a used Gamecube?

[Lord_Kefka]

Used system can be part of the B2G1Free, but you CANNOT buy three systems.

So wait, if I buy a used PS2 and a game, I can get a used Gamecube?

Nope, sorry. That breaks rule #3 ("Freebie must be of equal or lesser value."

So your PS2 game would be free. It doesn't mean anything that the Cube is less than the PS2, the game is worth the least. So you get that for free.

Not sure about the "official" start. May depend on region. We have another location in the mall no further than 3 blocks away. Their sales suck, so they had an "unofficial" B2G1Free to increase sales.

But this should be an official one starting. We put up the banners yesterday.

Damnit! I've been trying to find the best way to get a Cube. I've been thinking of buyingan N64 from EBgames and trading it in for a new Cube to get $30 off. Then trading in some of my other stuff. I hate trading games in, but I can't throw down enough cash to buy one outright.

Lordkefka, can you tell me when this deal is going to end?

[Pancake Rabbit]

i was at the farmington MI store yesterday and no sale....

[sying]

There's no B2G1F love in Jacksonville

[GizmoGC]

Are they doing a 30% more trade-in right now? My buddy just traded in $250 worth of stuff and got an additional 30% for some sort of promo.

Yep. If you trade 3+ games you get 30% plus (Gamestop)

If you trade 3+ games you get $15 plus (EB Games)

______ YMMV

[GizmoGC]

Couldn't find anything (or blind_) Looks like a sweet deal. If I combine B2G1F ..hmmm

[jimbodan]

Has anyone in Sacramento tested out any gamestops to see if this deal is in effect here?

[bobo2k4]

We got it here in Chicago.

The one on Canal and Roosevelt.

Where did you find out about the EBGames $15 extra? One nearest to me said they aren't running anything like that.

I was at my local Overland Park (KS) store. I asked him if they have anything to match a Gamestop deal and he told me '' Bring 3 we'll give you +$15

[supermariomelee]

I just called 2 Gamestops in my area, one is offering the B2G1 deal while the other is not, WTF? Is the on a store to store basis or what?

Seems to be... which is pretty irritating.

I've been twice in the last two days and nothing doing... kinda dissapointing, because I scoped out several games that I'd love to pick up!

[Scorch]

Can you do this deal online?

[ransom456]

There is a coupon in the EB Summer Sale flyer for an extra $15 in trade-in credit, but you have to trade in 5 games to get it.

I stoped by Lagun's gamestop no deal going on as it seems.

[captaincold]

I stopped by a GS in Washington state & a clerk said that these deals usually start on the east coast & work there way west.
