I just got an email from www.fye.com (http://www.fye.com) that includes coupon code OCTOBERBOGO for Buy 1, Get 1 50% off for all CDs, DVDs, and Used items (I assume used games are included as well).
Looks like this is good until the end of October, though I don't see a specific date.
Edit: Some users are reporting glitch with code that gives 50% off of ONE item, without having to buy a second.

Wow, that's good for some pretty nice deals on 360 and PS3 games.

Some of the prices on the games are very high, God of War 1 is $20.49 used, Far Cry on Wii is $22 used (and $20 new). Looks like there are some good deals though

It seems that the coupon can be used on just one item... I added Guitar Hero II Bundle (used) to my cart and applied it, on the order review it came out to $42.38 shipped. Not sure if orders made with that will go through, but it's worth a shot?

Why do they have some used games listed higher than they sell them for new? Doesn't make sense.
YoshiFan1
10-01-2007, 10:08 PM
The site appears to be all glitchy. I tried adding 1 game, the discoutn showed and it was $19.99 after the discount. It said to add another $5.01 to get free shipping so I added some fillers and shipping went to $12.xx.

I have never ordered a used game from FYE before. What sort of condition are they usually in? Do they often come with a manual and intact case?
IAmTheCheapestGamer
10-01-2007, 10:59 PM
FYE is horrible, their shipping rates are horrible and any deal links I've ever found are DOA for their site. Although, I had the link(s) I used saying 'free shipping at such n such a level', but I think it only may apply to dvds/cds.
I desperately wanted 'Adventures Of Darwin', which is $19.49 at fye's site, but without free shipping, it goes up to almost $24-25 shipped. Horrible. But, FYE.com still has PS1 games in stock, most of which are sports, with a few exceptions.
I mixed one used PS1 title and one new PS2 game, but it was still no go.
Oh and if you're looking for a decent site, there's also Wherehouse.com, which is another side site of FYE. They list the number of copies of each used game left, so you don't get 'out of stock'. There's many cheap PS1/PS2/XBox games there too, mainly sports, but some other titles that're decent.
Maybe I'll check into this still though....never know....
EDIT: Ok, that was worth a shot, but apparently 'free budget shipping' means they change the standard shipping charges name to 'budget shipping', but it stays the sames. And, I don't think codes stack, though that 'budget shipping shit is a scam, since it did the same even when I didn't have any other codes to use.
YoshiFan1
10-01-2007, 11:17 PM
Wherehouse.com isn't always accurate either. I ordered Carnival Games and it showed 4 copies in stock. It went backordered (with 2 copies still showing as being available) and they cancelled it. I ended up ordering it from Amazon instead.

10-01-2007, 11:28 PM
The code did not work for me either...
cranguy
10-01-2007, 11:28 PM
All of fye/Second Spin/Wherehouse's (same company) used products come complete, shrinkwrapped, and in excellent shape. I fully recommend them, especially when you're lucky to even get the right disc form Gamestop, let alone a manual or case.
IAmTheCheapestGamer
10-01-2007, 11:45 PM
The code for the BOGO(which is only buy one, get the second HALF OFF, not free) worked for me, but I tried adding fillers to bump the total to get the 'free budget shipping'. And, as usual, it let me go in and see that the 'standard' shipping name had changed to 'budget' shipping, but nothing was free.
AnotherStereotype
10-02-2007, 12:03 AM
The code also works if you only have one item in your cart... i.e. Guitar Hero II Bundle for $42 shipped or Super Paper Mario for $25 shipped... it just takes off 50% from the only item in the cart, if it's used that is. Whether orders of this sort will go through, time will tell.

Well, I wish Adventures of Darwin would get USED copies already then, so I could get 50% off that, instead of paying $19.49 for a new copy, which is quite unCAGlike behavior. Knowing me, I'll play it twice, like I did Katamari Damacy, then sell it to a friend cheap in a year or two.

Better off buying everything seperate while abusing the code. While there's no games I want, I think I'll just buy two Dragon Ball DVDs with this. Thanks. :)
Edit: Urg. PayPal wouldn't let me buy them seperately with the damn code.

But, that's what I'm saying though, it already had 'budget' shipping selected and it came up the SAME price as 'standard' shipping. So, for me, there WAS NO FREE SHIPPING. But, as I also said, maybe you can't stack the buy one get one 50% off code with the free shipping?

Their prices on used blu-ray & hd dvd are a joke.
God I wish they had Lair in stock I'd order that for $30 shipped. Sigma is in stock and can be ordered for $30 shipped. Resistance would be like $27 shipped.

I was able to get both free shipping and have the 50% off code come into effect on my order. Budget was not selected when I went to the final screen, I had to change it myself.

Their shipping has always been weird. I ordered something a while ago where I got the free shipping, but the confirmation email and order history showed that I got charged for shipping. But in the end, the original order page was right, and I didn't get charged.
That was around a year ago, probably longer, and they still have issues with it!!!

Also, Batman Begins used on HD-DVD for $11.27, shipped...
BTW - You can use your FYE gift cards for payment. After you enter your credit card and you get to the review screen (where you can change shipping), there is a tiny little button for Gift Cards. Use that to enter your gift card details, and voila.
Nice.

Not so much - from the FYE.COM help area...
Can I use the f.y.e. Backstage Pass Member Card in all f.y.e. for your entertainment stores?
The card may be used to get discounts at all f.y.e. for your entertainment stores as well as at f.y.e. Movie and f.y.e. Games stores. f.y.e. Backstage Pass Member discounts are not applicable at fye.com.
so this works on the "Best of Blu-Ray" (and i assume the "Best of HD-DVD" too). makes $84.99 have a Discount: -$42.50. Not bad, ~$10 a movie.

Wow, without having to actually buy two games, some of the Wii games are a steal. I am hopefully down for WarioWare Smooth Moves, and if I had more money at the moment, I would spring for LoZ: Twilight Prince, Excite Truck, and DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, but hopefully I will have all month to do so.

No dice. I just tried for a new game and then again for a pre-order, both solo and paired with a used item.
It did however still work on a single used item, no 2nd one needed.
LOL, they fixed it minutes after I posted. figures...I was right in the middle of ordering The Day After Tomorrow BD too. :(

Just havin one item in my cart didn't work. I didn't actually place an order, though, as I can't find two thing I want that are the same price (to maximize the deal), at least not used.

Dear fye.com Shopper,
You recently placed an order on fye.com that is being cancelled. You may have received notice that it has shipped out, this is not the case as the order was stopped from shipping out due to a pricing error.
Your order was placed using a coupon code that was intended to allow a Buy One Get Second Item 50% Off, and not a 50% off the price of 1 item only. Due to this coupon pricing error your order is being cancelled and refunded back to your original purchase method.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you

Only other good part about them is that their games are usually in pristine or at least near mint shape and you don't have to pick through 10 copies of ONE game to find the ones that's 'scratched the least', unlike Gamestop which takes in games covered in fecal matter and charges their owner a refurb fee but they don't actually CLEAN the games.
