Gamestop Gameboy & GBC games 75% off no longer includes DVDs

[neokellyzero]

Deal in title starts tomorrow. Not sure if it's all stores, but but the manager at the one by me said it should stack with edge- he also let me hold about a dozen dvds (ATHF box sets will be like $3 after all discounts) Happy Hunting-

[Quintox]

Interesting hope it's for all stores

[SL4IN]

If it goes into effect at my store, looks like I'll be cleaning them out of all their GBC games tomorrow morning.

[DesertFox]

Excellent. Hopefully they eventually do something with xbox games too.

[Drkirby]

Excellent. Hopefully they eventually do something with xbox games too.
Don't expect that till the next decade.

[SonictheHedgehog1337]

do you think most GS employees will know about this right away? I know the deal will be automatic, but I just hope the employees dont clean out all the stores

[Drkirby]

do you think most GS employees will know about this right away? I know the deal will be automatic, but I just hope the employees dont clean out all the stores
I think they would of long ago if there was really anything they wanted.

[hiamiyumi]

75% off on DVDs and B2G4 ftw

[Organ Donor]

I wish my GS sold DVDs..

[Drkirby]

Wasn't there also some sort of buy 2 get 1 for GBC?

[Lord Draconus777]

Ha nice. I can go buy pokemon crystal and all those obscure gameboy games I've wanted, then clear out all the DVD's at my local gamestops. W00T

[nyprimus4]

85% with Edge.

[CharGP02A]

Do you need a coupon or anything and how do you know if your store qualifies?

[JJSP]

Do you need a coupon or anything and how do you know if your store qualifies?
Ask yourself the following - "Does your store sell DVDs?" If no, stop reading. If yes, purchase DVDs.

[dcgm]

Awesome, I'm hunting down mad shit tomorrow, woot

[Friend of Sonic]

OMFG yes. Gameboy collection +500. I kind of want to take tomorrow off and raid stores.

[kube00]

Only one I know of sells DVDs in the area..Boxed sets were the OC I believe lol!

[dyeknom]

Does this work with Blu-ray?

[darkpice]

Does this work with Blu-ray?

it should. i hope it does so i can scoop up some movies

[integralsmatic]

i would love to get some old GB/GBC games. I wish i knew which stores still had them lol.

[dg7md]

I'd like a confirmation on this, but this would be sweet if true.

[zman73]

i would love to get some old GB/GBC games. I wish i knew which stores still had them lol.

Many times Ive bought the games from them I had to ask them, they then pulled out a box of them from behind the counter... they only had so much space in that little display, not enough for the tons of GB and GBC games they had... I myself will really take advantage of this sale if true

[xxtheycallmedxx]

Only one I know of sells DVDs in the area..Boxed sets were the OC I believe lol!

same here lol...of all the damn box sets lol....

[emg28]

Does this work with Blu-ray?

it should. i hope it does so i can scoop up some movies

This would be awesome if it works on Blu-ray. Most of the GS in my area have the B2G4 but they don't have a good enough selection to actually pick up 6 BR/DVDs.

[Animal7390]

85% with Edge.

not 85%

75% then 10% from that total = 77.5%

[Snake2715]

sweet will have to check this out.

[Rave Child]

not 85%

75% then 10% from that total = 77.5%

The edge card always takes off 10% of the original price. When they had certain titles on clearance for 50% off over the summer, the edge card still took the 10% off the original price, making it a total of 60% off. So this should end up 85% off total.

[neokellyzero]

The in store signage said the deal includes HD-DVDs and Blueray-

[Drkirby]

Ok, mapping it out for later today. If all goes to plan, I should be able to hit up 9 gamestops today, if not more.

[Nathan_Sama]

:D
do want.

[Jeoff]

If it takes the EDGE card discount FIRST you'd be getting 55% off on what you said not 60%.

For a $100 dvd in this deal:
$100-$10 EDGE = $90 after EDGE card
$90 - $90*0.75 = $22.5 final price of a $100 dvd = 77.5% discount like the other guy said.

[tarouza]

so this is confimed then??

[Snake2715]

/\ You guys are trying to complicate this. I believe typically both promotions take the Percentage off from the original selling price, or sale price.

So its 10% off of $100 = $10
Then 75% off of $100 = $75

Total of $85 or 85%.

[guessed]

Correct. If there is one thing that GS/EB got right, it is Edge. Stacks with everything, and increases the discount by 10%, so the entire discount percentage is applied to the original price.

[emg28]

Snake2715 is right. Any discount is always taken off the original price at GS. The same applies to trade-ins.

BTW, thanks for posting this OP and for the Blu-ray confirmation.

[spacegundam0079]

Confirmed - 85% off with Edge Card Wont complain that the buy 2 get 4 free is no longer a go - Made off with some Mad Anime Sets For Nadda ! I love this site :D

[destro4eva]

Picked up Forever Knight Season 2 and Dragon's Lair game/DVD for $4.5 and .30 each.

Nice!

Thanks TC.

[unkmobb]

how long is the deal going on for

[dyeknom]

Oh my... I cant wait to get out of class so I can go pick up that copy of Planet Earth on Blu-Ray for 12.00 (lol)

[Drkirby]

Oh my... I cant wait to get out of class so I can go pick up that copy of Planet Earth on Blu-Ray for 12.00 (lol)Same, but for all the GBC games. The only thing I see that is odd is when looking online for more gamestops to hit, I see 4 of them withen a mile of each other. I know of two of them there, but the other two are going to need some hunting...

[dyeknom]

I will say, if I happen to run across a Dragon warrior III, Conker's Pocket Tales, or Links Awakening DX... I'll definitely have to pick them up :)

[Drkirby]

I know a store that should still have DW3, but I don't know if I'll make it there today. Its about 40 minutes away from me, but there are 5 other gamestops in the same area, one of which was he nicest gamestop I have ever seen. (About 2X-3X larger then normal, well let, clean, organized, and very helpful people... must be the result of a merger ;) )

[SL4IN]

Made out with almost 15 GB/GBC games this morning for $9. Went to another GS and they didn't have the 75% off GB/GBC games promo going on, so I don't think this is completely universal.

Did you get the games totaled out? I've seen some stores with no signage that was still running the 50% (back when that was the latest promo)

[hobomatt]

just picked up:

Heroes S1: $5.25
21(blu-ray) - $2.70
A Few Good Men(blu-ray) - $2.70

all prices were after the EDGE card

[Drkirby]

Went to another GS and they didn't have the 75% off GB/GBC games promo going on, so I don't think this is completely universal.Did you try ringing something up? And all the way to paying them? They may just no know about it, and the discounts aren't always applyed to the very end. Just buy something that is $1 (Or if you can't, just buy pokemon red or blue for $3), and see what happens.

And what games did you get.

[SL4IN]

Did you get the games totaled out? I've seen some stores with no signage that was still running the 50% (back when that was the latest promo)

Yeah, I had her ring up a lufia GBC game that was 9.99 and it rang up as 10.80. No go on the promo. It sucked too because they had that, and two copies of Pokemon Silver that would have rung up as $1.60 after promo and EDGE.

[Friend of Sonic]

Yeah, I had her ring up a lufia GBC game that was 9.99 and it rang up as 10.80. No go on the promo.
They weren't even running 50% off? :cold:

[Drkirby]

Hmmm... Unlikely, but did you check the price sticker and make sure the game was labaled correctly? The game could of been marked as the GBA lufia game, which is also $9.99. I have seen it happened before (Though it worked in my favor. LoZ:OoS was labled as LoZ:LA)

Nothing super great, most of them are going to where I work for store credit since we still sell GB/GBC games like crazy.

Gameboy
Mercenary Police
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Alleyway
Batman Revenge of the Joker
Radar Mission
Double Dragon
Introducing the Humans
Vegas Stakes

Gameboy Color
Rampart
Heroes of Might & Magic
T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing
Test Drive Off-Road 3
Polaris SnoCross

Like I said, nothing great, I'll most likely just keep Batman and Double Dragon. The manager couldn't have been happier to see the GB/GBC stock finally leave :lol:

[SL4IN]

I thought about that as I was leaving. I might go back and check tomorrow since I don't feel like driving back out there right now.

[Nathan_Sama]

^I thought the order of deals on the GB games were 25%, B2G1, 50%, B1G1, now 75%

[Veronica Mars]

I'm gonna check out my local GS. Congrats to whoever scored a good deal.

[Quintox]

I can't remember if the GS here at my college sells DVDs or not -- and I don't have a GBC so no point on picking any of those up...

[chimpster1313]

man do i hope this is at the few gs near me. only one sells dvd's, but they all have a TON of gb/gbc games.

[Rave Child]

Wow, I'm so glad I happened to take today off. That, and the fact that my local store is the only one around that sells DVDs. I made out with:

GB/GBC:

Kirby's Pinball Land - $.75
Final Fantasy Legend - $.75
Final Fantasy Adventure - $.90
Final Fantasy Legend II - $1.50
Pokemon Red - $.45
Pokemon Blue - $.45

DVD:

CNBC Original Documentaries - $.75
The Ultimate Matrix Collection - $5.25
Seinfeld Season 1 - $1.95
Lost Season 1 - $4.50
House of Flying Daggers - $1.20
Fargo - $1.20
A Few Good Men - $.90
Family Guy Volume 2 - $3.75
Die Hard 2 Special Edition - $.90

Since I paid with credit, there was no tax. This made for a grand total of $25.20! This is absolutely epic. And I thought I was getting a good deal with $3 DVDs there a month ago, or with the Futurama sets for under $10 during the summer! I'll have to check what other stores sell DVDs or have Gameboy games I'm interested in, but chances are this will be my only score for a while.

[Jesse757x]

So does this automatically ring up or did they have to scan something? and were there any signs when you went? Thanks.

[movieman2742]

I'd think it would be universal since it was in this period's marketing kit.

[Rave Child]

So does this automatically ring up or did they have to scan something? and were there any signs when you went? Thanks.

My store had signs for it, but the discount isn't applied until the very end of the transaction, when they hit the total button. It'll show all the original prices at first, then apply the discount. So it will look like there might not be a discount at first, but it should show up in the end.

If that's how it works, I suppose I'm going to hit up the GS again later today that I passed over.

[Animal7390]

yes, the total is the original up until the total button is pressed then it drops like crazy. just made 2 gs store drop their mouths, no problems though. in the second one they had just taken a trade of like 15 blus since saturday which was good because their were some good movies in their.

also, the second one had a few managers there cleaning out the back room and brought out a halo helmet and said the next person who purchases anything 360 gets this. i was in the middle of my movie transaction and asked if they had the disc. they checked and did so i took it since i hadnt picked one up yet and got the helmet for FREE.

awesome deal even without the b2g4 deal it still ends up being 10-20 ish cheaper than last week.

[Nathan_Sama]

Well, im going the true cheapassgamer way by rolling my pennies!

[detectiveconan16]

Darn, the "closest" store that sells DVDs is all the way in another borough or state.

[Animal7390]

they dont have to sell dvds to carry blus. call and ask if they have any blus first.

all said and done here is a basic list of what movies are marked and final price, this is all i have until i buy something more or less expensive..

$19.99 -> $3.00
$17.99 -> $2.70
$14.99 -> $2.25
$12.99 -> $1.95

[rmb]

Grabbed 1 (for 2.70 and sopranos seaon 1 and 2 for <14 bucks. All were scratch free and mint. THanks op

[funkflexmctough]

I just grabbed some $220 worth of stuff for $33

Sopranos Season 4 = 4.50
Sopranos Season 6 = 5.25
Pee Wees Playhouse Season 2 = 1.95
Friends Best of Season 4 = 0.90
From the Earth to the Moon miniseries = 4.50
Jackie Chans First Strike = 0.90
Rick = 0.90
Short Circuit = 0.90
Eyes Wide Shut = 0.90
M. Nights the Village = 0.90
Walk Hard - bluray = 2.70
Spiderman 3 - bluray = 1.50
Crank - bluray = 3.00
Kung Fu Hustle - bluray = 2.70

[Camwi]

Our store didn't have much for selection (or any DVDs at all), but I still ended up getting:

Navy Seals
Cubix: Robots for Everyone
Dr. Franken
Double Dragon
Action Man (most original video game title EVER)
Robocop 2
Zen: Intergalactic Ninja
Alleyway

All for a little over $9. Thanks, OP!

[stoned99]

Anyone thought about flipping these the FYE ?

[Grico]

bleh, all my local gamestops cleared out all dvds a few months ago. I'll check gameboy games though.

[zman73]

FYE requires complete games for trade INS most of the time... Any DVDs would have to be flawless... They are very picky

[eastshore4]

Sounds like a great deal, no better time than now to expand on my GB collection. What are some rare, HTF GB/GBC games I should keep an eye out for?

[dyeknom]

tincredible hulk
vantage point
planet earth
underdog
prison break season 1
i am legend
all on blu ray for about 24 in credit. Awesome deal OP.
only saw powerpuff girls gbc tho.

[DaDeuce]

That's a steal for all those blus.... I hope a couple of my stores have some blu after work today....

[Animal7390]

i hate to be a stickler but this should be 2 separate threads one for GBC/GB games and one for dvds

[mer71]

NAVY SEALS!!! Charlie Sheen in his best role ever!!

[PR Mega X]

I think my local store still have DVDs. I didn't see it mentioned, but is this an all week, Monday-Sunday sale? Thursday is my first day off, so for obvious reasons I can't go then, and Black Friday is sure to be a madhouse, so I'd like to try to get in on Saturday.

[stoned99]

Crap, visited 4 different GS's over lunch non had blu rays, and the one store with dvd's just had crap.

[Animal7390]

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=204736

this the thread for dvds in the dvd forum.

[Friend of Sonic]

My local GS shipped their stuff to Moviestop last week. Lame.
But, I did buy 142 Gameboy games (a lot of garbage games, but I got them for .45 each so I didn't mind) Left a lot of good stuff I already had like Zelda: Oracle of Ages and some Pokemons.

[Animal7390]

mine had 4 gameboy games lame

[J7.]

also, the second one had a few managers there cleaning out the back room and brought out a halo helmet and said the next person who purchases anything 360 gets this. i was in the middle of my movie transaction and asked if they had the disc. they checked and did so i took it since i hadnt picked one up yet and got the helmet for FREE.

Eww bathroom helmet!

[Animal7390]

maybe but im just selling it.

[NoobHammer]

I'm jealous. I want the legendary helmet. I just like how they look and my fucking gamestop decided to not have any helmets when they were liquidating them. Shame...

[Camwi]

i hate to be a stickler but this should be 2 separate threads one for GBC/GB games and one for dvds

I think it's fine the way it is.

NAVY SEALS!!! Charlie Sheen in his best role ever!!

Seriously? Is that game based on a movie? I was wondering what the hell it was. :P

[JJSP]

Picked up The Office (BBC) Seasons 1 + 2 for $3 each. Hitting three more GS that carry DVD's tonight. :)

[StarKnightX]

I have 3 GS's near me , and only 1 of them carries dvds , and it's always a crappy selection , and none of them have a good selection for GB/GBC games.:cry:

[rmb]

We should hve a trade thread for requests to help each other out on this one. I guess judt use the dvd thread for people looking for movies.

[DiddlyKong]

Going to my local shop after work.

[funkflexmctough]

Just made it to another store 50 miles away for:
Alien Quadrilogy 7.50
In Living Color Season 1 - 3.00

[Caliburn]

My store had roughly 100 GB/GBC games! Most were lame games and duplicates (think Bugs Bunny, Tony Hawk, arcade translations and the like), but here's what I got:

Bionic Commando
Game & Watch Gallery
Game & Watch Gallery II
Bomberman Max Blue
Dragon Ball Z: Legend of the Saiyans
Conker's Pockets Tales
Kirby's Dream Land II

Well today was a very long day, but well worth it. I started off the day waiting for the minutes to wear down until noon, then walked outside to see that my car had been blocked in by a TENT. Yes, they erected a TENT between the hours of 8 and 11 that cut off my parking lot...

30 minutes later I started my trip. Here is my haul

DVDs
The Grudge (3.99 base)
OC Season 2 (19.99 base)
OC Season 3 (24.99 base)
OC Season 4 (24.99 base)
Full Metal Alchemist Disk 1 + 2 (9.99 base each)
Samurai 7 volume 1 (12.99 base)
Last Exile volumes 1 and 2 (9.99 base each)

Gameboy/GBC games
Megaman Xtreme
Megaman Xtreme 2
Turok: Rage Wars
X-men Mutant Wars
Final Fantasy Legend II
Final Fantasy Legend III
Operation C
Contra
Mega Man: Dr. Wiley's Revenge
Warioland II
Bomberman

Bluray
I am Legend
Invincible
Planet Earth
Prison Break Season 1
Incredible Hulk (Target GREEN-ray edition)
Alvin and the Chipmunks (in honor of the A+TC flip)
Underdog
Shoot em Up
The Lookout (sucker for Isla Fischer)
Vantage Point
Patriot
Devil's Own
(one copy of the penny guide for Crisis Core)
(The guy also gave me the cardboard cutouts of Animal Crossing)
(and a PS2 network adapter complete with start up disk)

I have to say, I'm extremely excited by the latest acquisitions. The kicker? I stopped at this HWV on the way and picked up Futurama, Jedi Academy, Kung Fu Panda, Hot Wheels Beat It and three other 1.75+ flips using my copy of Gears of War... making it 3$ cash spent and like 40$ in credit for that haul. I kept Futurama :)





Things I was slightly disappointed in:
One of the gamestops that I had been eyeing Cars on Blu-ray had been sent to another store with the remainder of their DVDs. That Blu-ray was no where to be found.

Not a single copy of Dragon Warrior III or Conker Pocket Tales, but for those of you willing to put up with tools... GS in Broken Arrow had 3x Pokemon Silver/Gold (1.50 after discounts)... I just didnt want to purchase from the clerk because he is a tool.

The Gamestop in Broken Arrow cleared out many of their strat guides, including the Fire Emblem: RD penny guides I had intended on buying my next time out there.

The lady continued to refuse the above 19.99 deal at HWV, making those Lego Indys and Lego Batmans painful to look at (dozens of batmans).



Time to Thanksgiving home and try to squeeze some more good deals out to help my collection :)

[dcgm]

Hit up about 6 gamestops today. 1 ended up shipping off their GB/C lot, so I was pissed. I called from then on to confirm before traveling.

From the 5 I got the following:

Pokemon Crystal
Frogger
Harvest Moon GBC
Bust-A-Move Millennium
Pokemon Pinball
Super Mario Land: Six Golden Coins
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong
Mega Man: Wily's revenge
Dragon Warrior I-II

Speed Racer: The Movie (blu)
Kiss of the Dragon (blu)
Fifth Element (blu)

Wish I could have gotten more, but I guess I shouldn't complain lol

Grand total: $23.14

[Nathan_Sama]

Got Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 Tara's Adventure & Cobi's Journy for .75 apeice.

Also, they had an RROD'd Elite 360 they randomly just gave to a guy that asked before I could!!!!! >.<
He even got Lego Indiana Jones and Kung-fu panda!

[maccabee72]

Damn, I rushed over to my local Gamestop tonight as they had tons of used BRs the other night and found they only had a handful of Spiderman 3s left. The guy said they shipped all the used ones that were there just a few days earlier to a Moviestop Upstate. Sucks!

[camelking6969]

i was happy to get simpsons season 6 for 3 bucks

[Slim Gatsby]

Thanks OP! I went on a spree today and picked up a few hundred worth of DVDs...I had single purchases dropping from nearly a grand to barely over $100. This is almost as good as the N64/PSX game liquidation!

[Drkirby]

Wow, what a ride today. I hit up a total of 9 gamestops, like I planed. Some were total busts, not having anything, some had next to nothing, but two of the stores had a ton of stuff. I bought way more then I should, and its going to take a while to list everything, but most of what I got was gameboy games, only one store had movies, and not many at that. So let me just add up the total I spent. *Looks over receipts* About $200. One of the over receipts is larger then I am ;)

[JJSP]

Bought
Pixar Short Films (Bluray) - $2
IMAX Space Shuttle (Bluray) (?) - $1.30
WWF Monday Night War - $1.30
WWF Foley Hard Knocks - $1.30
WWF Benoit Hard Knocks - $1.30
Random Mick Foley comp - $0.30

If anyone finds The Simpsons Season 6 with the standard case (not the Homer head), I'm looking to swap my Homer case packaging for it. I have the S6 set complete (cards, case, slipcase), but I'm obsessive about it looking weird on my shelf (I have S1-9) and every other case is the standard box. Please PM me - willing to add PayPal/Live subs to make this work.

I think I went overboard :D

[twinton]

Thanks OP! I went to 8 Gamestops tonight. Picked up 38 DVD's & 2 BluRays for a total of $49.50.

[enjoi777]

person who posted all those gameboy games... -.-
hoarder lol

[dg7md]

I'm going to have to check this out today, would this apply to new DVDs too? I know that some stores still have those random, mixed in "new" copies of various Red vs. Blue DVDs.

[zman73]

None of my stores had much at all... crazy knowing I didnt clean them out last year... alot of them had boxes of games behind the counter... I still made off with about 15 or so games...

Did luck out though and traded a couple sears clearance games to a guy for a stack of about 16 N64 games (the games I had were worth about $6)... and got a few really good games like Smash Bros, Diddy Kong Racing, both Zeldas... kinda wierd doing gaming business inside of a GS... but they dont take N64 games anymore and this gy was desperate to unload them

[toocool17]

I picked up a few gameboys games. For those getting the pokemon games and other games that have an internal battery the games will not save, so they are pointless. I picked up a pokemon gold and pokemon silver and I cant even save the game. I think its because the internal battery has died.

[Animal7390]

so silly, 2 thread about the same great deal...

[ErikWaters]

Cleaned out 3 GS in the Carrollton and Douglasville areas (around 35-40 games for $49. Nothing too spectacular.) All three had stopped selling DVDs awhile back, but got their remaining GB/GBC games. I guess I'm a hoarder at heart. :-(

so replace the battery... all these games are like 10 years old, so expect the battery to be bust.

No go on "new" dvds. I tried to pick up RE: Extinction and it stayed 15.99 while all the other prices dropped. Watching the total diminish on the card swiper comes a close second to the expressions on some employees' faces.

I haven't tried it, but there may be a fix: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-replace-the-battery-in-a-pokemon-goldsilve/

Yea, I know I will have to. I just wanted to make others aware of it.

[Animal7390]

"new" dvds are a no, unless since most of them are open you can convince an employee to make it used. i tried at this one gs and they couldnt find the disc and said they were going to get rid of the case, last night the case was back on the shelf and i asked again and an employee that has been there for years (back when it had a different name every other year) said that they had to sell it as new, so YMMV

[doctorfaustus]

Any word on this working for HD DVDs? My local GS has Heroes season one.

[guessed]

The in store signage said the deal includes HD-DVDs and Blueray-

Any word on this working for HD DVDs? My local GS has Heroes season one.

Go get it.

Bought
Pixar Short Films (Bluray) - $2
IMAX Space Shuttle (Bluray) (?) - $1.30
WWF Monday Night War - $1.30
WWF Foley Hard Knocks - $1.30
WWF Benoit Hard Knocks - $1.30
Random Mick Foley comp - $0.30

If anyone finds The Simpsons Season 6 with the standard case (not the Homer head), I'm looking to swap my Homer case packaging for it. I have the S6 set complete (cards, case, slipcase), but I'm obsessive about it looking weird on my shelf (I have S1-9) and every other case is the standard box. Please PM me - willing to add PayPal/Live subs to make this work.

there should be a form you can fill out to receive the normal box via mail, or a number or something, i personally like the head versions.

Most stores were completely out of these games but the one I hit, had them in bags. Nice find. Thanks TC for the heads up on this.

[dcgm]

I called a location that has a couple hundred GB/C games to see if I could get them shipped to my area. The guy said yes! He got a little suspicious though, and like an idiot I said how I went to like 8 different locations and I want them because I'm a collector and they are 85% off with edge. He definitely thought I was a weirdo, and God knows what kind of note he'll put in the box for my local manager to read LOL

Oh well, seriously at 85% off you can't fault someone for wasting a whole tank of gas driving around :D

[Friend of Sonic]

Now that's pretty cool. I wonder what the key is to find the needle in the haystack of stores that have that many GB games in stock. I found a couple of decent stores, but I'd love to buy more.

[CGH]

I scored a Dragon Warrior I & II for $1.50 plus tax thanks CAG.

[JJSP]

Fox discontinued that promotion shortly after S7 came out. :(

Picked up American Psycho (BR) and X-Files S1&2 today. AP was $2.25 after discount and Edge, and the X-Files sets were $4.xx. :)

Wish some of these title were around me, I went to most of the GS's in my area and all I managed to pick up was Superman The Movie, Stargate, and American Psycho on BR, would have loved to have found a lot more.

[doctorfaustus]

Got Heroes Season One HD DVD for 6.60...
:)

[victoryroadrage]

I was able to get:
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - 1.50
Drawn Together Season 2 - 1.95
SNL Best of Phil Hartman - .90
Futurama Vol. 1 - 3.00
Live Free or Die Hard (Blu Ray) - 2.70

With discount and edge it came to 10.88!
The cases for Futurama and Drawn Together are pretty beat up though.
Thanks OP!

[karkyco]

I'm hitting up all of the stores within 30 or so miles of me that have a good selection of GB/GBC games still tomorrow in order to combine the 85% off with the B2G1 Free on all used starting tomorrow.

I went to a few stores close by around me yesterday, absolutely crap as far as selection of DVDs was concerned. Blu Ray and GB/GBC was practically nil. So wish me luck!!!

[deletion]

dvd hauls might go better in the dvd thread

[GameFreac]

Thanks for the thread

I went to 2 gamestops today and 1 had no dvd's and the other one had a bunch but there was nothing good so I didn't get anything. :(

[darkpice]

the dvd selection sucked at my local gs. and the only GB game they had was backyard football. ugh.

[Furashu]

got Spider man 3 blu for 3.50 ( i dont have edge) and species for 4.50..
total was 7.XX

[Animal7390]

got Spider man 3 blu for 3.50 ( i dont have edge) and species for 4.50..

if you are going to going to anymore gamestops for this deal of any deal it is completely worth it. 6 or 7 blus the extra credit off will pretty much pay for it and then you have it for 1 year and a magazine that is pretty decent.

[dcgm]

Edge is awesome. Plus, GI Mag is awesome as well.

10% doesn't seem like much alone, but when you get one of those 25% off Wii/Ps3/whatever games, it stacks for an obscene 35% off. That's better than the damn employee discount (which doesn't work with any coupons other than edge).

[Rave Child]

You realize that with this deal, the difference between having an Edge card and not is the difference between you paying 15% of the original price vs. 25% of the original price? That's a full 40% less you're paying for these with the Edge card than if you don't have it.

?????????

I believe it's only 10% as always the difference.

[guessed]

I managed to not go crazy with this, so far. I've only found 2 stores that have dvds, and didn't buy anything at the first.

Things I've passed on:
Sliders Season 3
Star Trek Original, plastic hinge case, not sure which season, it was the red one.
A Christmas Story HD-DVD (I kind of regret not getting this one)
Queer as Folk, seasons 1 and 2, boxes were incomplete and in bad shape.
Star Trek Deep Space 9, season 6
Entourage, season 3 (don't remember if it was part 1 or 2)
Married with Children, season 4 (I think)
24 Season 1, I think (I have it, whatever season it was)
Children of Men HD-DVD (case was messed up)
Hart's War HD-DVD
King Kong HD-DVD (have it)

If it wasn't a TV series or HD-DVD/Blu-Ray, I didn't pay any attention to it, so there is a bunch of stuff I didn't list, including a lot of anime at one of the stores.

The only things I picked up were Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End, and Spider-Man 3, both on Blu-ray. I didn't really want Spider-Man 3, but it was $1.50 after discounts, and I just couldn't pass up a Blu-ray for $1.50.

[Animal7390]

i think i now have 3 or 4 copies of spiderman 3 blu just because of this deal

[Slim Gatsby]

Its the difference between paying $0.15 on the dollar vs. $0.25 on the dollar. A $9.99 DVD is $1.50 with Edge, $2.50 without...a $19.99 box set is $3 vs. $5...it really adds up since it comes off of the original price.

So, okay, I went a little crazy with this. According to my Excel spreadsheet, original price of everything was roughly $2,340 and I paid just under $350. I'm keeping about 75% of what I picked up DVD-wise, about 15% are going to be gifts (my girlfriend is a professional animator and I think I've managed to fill quite a few holes in her DVD collection, especially with the Disney stuff, my little brother is really into Bionicle, and everyone's parents love Raymond), the remaining 10% will probably be sold to recoup what I spent so I can pay my rent.

All I can say is that I'm really glad that I didn't spend $30 in my BBV credit on Iron Man or Hulk when they first came out, and that I check multiple threads on CAG, because I found a whole bunch of penny guides in my adventures. Either they just didn't care about giving them to me or they didn't want to argue with someone buying $700 worth of inventory before discounts, but I didn't get denied for any of them. =D

I bought Pirates on two different formates before realizing that I already had it on BD from the B2G4. I also now have a sealed Transformers on HD-DVD that'll be going up for trade (think this has any potential long-term value for HD or TF collectors?). I've had to remove my PS3 games from the PS3/Blu Ray shelf and I still don't have room for all of my Blu Rays. And I have no idea where I'm going to put the stacks of DVDs that I'll be adding to my collection.

But thanks a ton OP -- I got to practically have Black Friday deals a full five days early =D

[Animal7390]

i am loving this sale

[Rave Child]

?????????

I believe it's only 10% as always the difference.

For a $100 purchase, it's the difference between paying $15 and $25. $15 is 40% less than $25.

[Friend of Sonic]

...Yeah, Rave, but that doesn't really align properly with your first post.
Also, Guessed, I sent you a PM Lulz.

[Rave Child]

I suppose my wording was probably a bit confusing, but I meant that using the Edge card will make things 40% cheaper than they would have been without using the Edge card. Mostly I'm good at numbers. Not so much with the words.

Also, I'm extremely jealous, Slim. I've tried all three stores I know of that sell DVDs, and I got maybe a dozen movies and box sets. I've also never seen a blu-ray at GS, only HD DVDs. Congrats on the haul!

Responded. Will see what I can do.

[emg28]

Picked up:

Blazing Saddles (BR)
Underworld:Evolution (BR)
Terminator 2 (BR)
Open Season (BR)
Hart's War (BR)
Chain Reaction (BR)
Phantom of the Opera (BR)
Spiderman 3 (BR)

GB and GBC selection was really shitty. I will hit the other GS in my area later on today. It was nice to see the total for 6 of the BRs go from $113.xx to $17.05 especially since the clerk told me the promo didn't apply to BR. :lol: Out of the 5 GS I went to only 2 had an actual DVD section. I got lucky that I found the 6 BRs at a GS with no DVD section. I even passed on Jumper BR since it didn't have a case. I was basically buying every BR I could find.

[Friend of Sonic]

Nice snags! I wish my local GS had Weeds season 2, but I was happy enough to find season 1.

[gkrykewy]

Is this still going on? Do I just take BRs to the register and they'll automatically ring up for 75% off?

[Animal7390]

yes

[gkrykewy]

Thanks

nice i would kill for that.

[Slim Gatsby]

I suppose my wording was probably a bit confusing, but I meant that using the Edge card will make things 40% cheaper than they would have been without using the Edge card. Mostly I'm good at numbers. Not so much with the words.

Also, I'm extremely jealous, Slim. I've tried all three stores I know of that sell DVDs, and I got maybe a dozen movies and box sets. I've also never seen a blu-ray at GS, only HD DVDs. Congrats on the haul!

Thanks! I'm going through it all now...my living room has completely full. :cry:

Iron Man was definitely worth the $2.50, I must say. ;)

[Furashu]

anyone wanna buy me planet earth on blu-ray? lol
ill give ya $20 via paypal! :D common it was my birthday on sunday.. :)

[utopianmachine]

Visited a local Gamestop that has had DVDs as long as I've shopped there, only to discover they recently stopped selling them. Whee.

[karkyco]

Okay, haven't really found much so far in the way of BluRays or DVDs/Boxed Sets that have been worthy of picking up, but I struck gold as far as Gameboy/Gameboy Color is concerned.

I started by searching on gamestop.com to try and determine what the "dump" stores are in the LA area for Gameboy/Gameboy color games, since none of the numerous stores near me seem to have any at all. So after stepping through the games listed online that I'd be interested in, I found a few stores that had a decent selection near me. Most stores that have any selection or seem to be "dump" stores in LA are in the ghetto (probably because the poor people in those areas can only afford older, cheaper games and systems), but I found 1 in Torrance and 1 in Long Beach that looked like good bets.

Just an FYI, while the Buy 2 Get 1 Free all used games did indeed start today, it does NOT work on or stack with the Gameboy/Gameboy Color 75% off (85% off with Edge). So YMMV on that one. But that was the reason I held off until today to go hit these stores, and I paid for that at one of the stores.

The Torrance store was a bitch and a half to get to...tons of traffic, and quite a ways from the freeway. So I finally get there, and the guy tells me that someone NOT 2 MINUTES PRIOR cleaned him out of Gameboy Color games. They had a few crappy games left, but also from the look of it, they didn't have much selection to start with. But I was PISSED.

I was really feeling crushed, but I got down to the Long Beach store. In there, half of one of the tall cases was FILLED with Gameboy and Gameboy color games, and the manager tells me he has 2 BOXES filled with more in the back. So while these were all cart only, I didn't get the B2G1F on them, and some need a good cleaning, out of about 150 GB and GBC carts I ended up cleaning out all the good stuff...28 games, for $35.07

My receipt is literally 3 feet long.

[dcgm]

Ok, I spend another day bargain hunting. I traveled about 60 miles to and from, but it turned out to be WELL worth it.

BLU Haul:

The Prestige
SWAT
Live Free Or Die Hard
Spiderman 3 x 11 (yes, 11 copies. I couldn't resist...and it paid off)
Stir of Echoes
Devil's Rejects
First Sunday
Superman- The Movie
Prom Night
War
Blood Diamond
Pirates of the Caribbean 1
Condemned
Chain Reaction
Species


About 20 GB/C games too, including Zelda: LA DX, Warioland and various Tetris titles.

Took those 10 extra Spiderman to a local CD Warehouse and traded them in for 200% profit each. Grabbed a MINT FRESH copy of blu-ray Godfather Coppola Restoration. Bam.

It came late this year, but I knew it would come. This gets the award for Best Haul of 2008.


Total Cost: $80.93

[CGH]

I found Lufia the Legend Returns for $1.50 plus tax at a different Gamestop location. Thanks again CAG. :)

[millerjm2]

Got a copy of Mr. Do! and Mario Picross for under $4. Apparently Mr. Do! is the Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 of Gameboy carts.

[karkyco]

Okay here's the list of what I got. One of the Dragon Warrior 1 + 2's was actually Dragon Warrior Monsters Cody I think it was, mismarked. All prices are with the 85% off applied...sorry the names on some of these are cut off on the receipt, I don't have the games in front of me so some are dupes and some are 1, 2, etc. but I remember somewhat what these were.

The only one I really missed out on that I was looking for was Dragon Warrior 3. But there are some more stores I will hit over the next few days...

Final Fantasy Adventure $.90
Final Fantasy Legend $.75
Final Fantasy Legend 2 $1.50
Dragon Warrior I + II $1.50
Dragon Warrior Monsters $1.50
Legend of Zelda, Oracle of Ages $1.50
Lufia: The Legend Returns $1.50 x2
TMNT 3 $2.25 x2
Double Dragon $1.50
Ninja Gaiden Shadow $.60
Castlevania Adventure $.45
Super Mario Land $1.50
Mega Man Xtreme $1.50
Game and Watch Gallery $.30 x2
Bionic Commando $.45
Shadowgate Classic $.45
Beauty and the Beast $1.50
X-Men Mutant Wars $1.50
Wario Land 2 $.75
Battletoads $.75
Donkey Kong Land 2 $1.50
Harvest Moon $.90
Harvest Moon 2 $1.05
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine $1.50
Kirby's DreamLand $.75

Total $32.40 + 8.25% tax = $35.07

There's another store I'm planning on demolishing on Friday...

[Rave Child]

Awesome! I just got to my parent's house for Thanksgiving, and dinner was right near a Gamestop I haven't been to in about four years. It turns out they had TONs of DVDs (at least compared to what I'm used to). Unfortunately, there were almost no box sets, and no blu rays, but I managed to get 30 various titles for $45. Standouts include 24: Season 1, ATHF: Season 1 maybe, and LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring collector's/extended edition. Unfortunately, I think there are no GB/GBC dump stores in the area. I was really hoping to score some of those.

Hmm, I wonder how I'm going to get all these DVDs back home... It takes up almost as much as the rest of the luggage I brought.

Leave the cases at your parents in say a banker's box, and use a CD/DVD case to haul the movies.

[salty tbone]

The 75% off also is good on GB/GBC hardware and accessories (as anyone who's seen the signs knows). I got a Game Boy Color for $2.50 (forgot what it's like to have a non-backlit handheld). The funny part, though, is the receipt proclaims "You saved $90 by buying used!" underneath the GBC specifically. So, I guess if you find a brand new GBC at a GS, they'll be charging $100 for it. :lol:

[Wheeliedude]

The two GS stores in my mall have jack.

[GuardianE]

Spiderman 3 on Bluray for $1.50. For a BluRay, sure why not?

Oh, and some retard gave me ONLY the bonus disc for Pirates. I am so pissed off. Can't drive back out there for that, either. I guess I lost $2.70...

YOU GOT RIPPED!:bouncy:

LOL, with the way we're making out, I think we can live with getting dinged a little. For me, I got charged the Dragon Warrior 1 + 2 price for what was actually Dragon Warrior Monsters 1. I think I lost like $.25 on that one. WHAT A RIP!!!! HAHAHA!!!

One GB game I picked up - Williams Arcade Classics something or other - didn't even ring up for 75% off, so I had to pay $3.59 for that piece of shit. Since it was with 20 other games I didn't even notice. I got ripped!

Most stores that have any selection or seem to be "dump" stores in LA are in the ghetto (probably because the poor people in those areas can only afford older, cheaper games and systems), but I found 1 in Torrance and 1 in Long Beach that looked like good bets.

So I finally get there, and the guy tells me that someone NOT 2 MINUTES PRIOR cleaned him out of Gameboy Color games.

Are you saying that Torrance is ghetto? :-s Maybe LB but I don't think Torrance is ghetto. Maybe I'm reading your post wrong.

Anyways, all I managed to find was Kiss of the Dragon BR and Are We Done Yet? BR. Both of the GS in Torrance that I checked didn't have anything good. I wasn't able to check one because they closed at 8pm.

[Caliburn]

Bah, my copy of Lufia: The Legend Returns has a dead battery and nothing saves...so sad to be returning this title. Not too keen on soldering the battery.

DBZ Supersonic Warriors will go back cause it's like a card game, and Resident Evil Gaiden is being returned due to the inability to progress beyond the intro (might be damage to the cart somewhere?).

LOL so true. I was pissed, but seriously, I definitely shouldn't be.

Ahh. I'm not sure of the tiv for gamestop, but CD Warehouse gave me 4 bucks a pop. That's what, like $25 profit? Plus that mint Godfather collection was cheap at $40. Awesome deal.

Surely gasoline and time is worth more? Might as well keep it?

[Caliburn]

Surely gasoline and time is worth more? Might as well keep it?

Not in my case - it's a 5 minute walk to the GS, and I will be returning two other games as well to get my $4.35 + tax back. ;)

[xxtheycallmedxx]

so with the B2G1 free starting tomorrow does anyone know if dvds/BRs will still be 75% ?

[dcgm]

so with the B2G1 free starting tomorrow does anyone know if dvds/BRs will still be 75% ?
It already started in most areas. I was at several GS's yesterday but they made it clear that the 2 deals won't stack.

[Animal7390]

i can verify the 2 dont stack but yes the movies and gbc/gb games are still 75% or 85% with edge

[CGH]

The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages $1.50
The Matrix Reloaded wide screen edition 2 DVD complete $0.45
Oz the Complete First Season 3 DVD mint package - $3.00
Spiderman 3 Blu Ray disc only $1.95
X-Men the Last Stand DVD disc only $1.95
Holiday DVD disc only $1.50
World Trade Center DVD disc only $1.50
Pirates of the Caribbean Dead man's Chest DVD disc 1 only $1.95
Devil Wears Prada DVD disc only for my sister lol $1.50

I was not expecting to find much so I feel I did pretty good today.:)

[Jack]

Thanks for posting, Neokellyzero. I picked up a bunch of Game Boy games.

[shajek]

Picked up the Matrix Collection for $5.25

[SaraAB]

Ok I made out on this sale (I need to hit more stores), the games are coming up super cheap for me (prices are after 75% off and edge):

Wildsnake (GB) - .60
Fighting Simulator (GB) - .60
Inspector Gadget (GBC clear cart) - 1.05
Shamus (GBC black cart) - .75
Snoopy Magic Show (GB) - .75
Jungle Book (GB) - .75
Tomb Raider (GBC clear cart) - .75

I wouldn't send back any games that had dead batteries, if anyone really needs the service for a rare game or some other reason, I can refer you to someone who knows how to change the battery. Even so you can probably find someone you know who knows how to change the battery, its not hard if you know how to solder.

[hobomatt]

so the guy in front of me in line tonight at GS traded in a couple blu-ray's and so when he was done i asked if i could buy the 4 blu-ray movies the guy just brought in and the guy cashing me out said that I had to wait a day before they got put into the system, i said that was a load of b/s and its never been like that before

[millerjm2]

I picked up a dragon warrior monsters for 50 cents, and .hack// legend of the twilight vol 1 for 75 cents.

[Josef]

so the guy in front of me in line tonight at GS traded in a couple blu-ray's and so when he was done i asked if i could buy the 4 blu-ray movies the guy just brought in and the guy cashing me out said that I had to wait a day before they got put into the system, i said that was a load of b/s and its never been like that before

Wait a second, Gamestop is clearing out Blu-Rays at 75% off yet they're still taking in trade-ins for them? What are they giving, a quarter a movie?

[Link927]

Only one GS around here that still has a small stock of GB games, picked up Pokemon Silver and Gold for $1.50 each after edge and discount. Not bad at all.

[eastshore4]

I actually think that's pretty common... I've asked multiple times at multiple stores if I could get something that was recently traded, and they've always told me that they have to log it in the system. I was sucessful once, but it was clearly an under-the-counter deal since the clerk just did a straight-up trade with me.

[hobomatt]

he def. took them and put them elsewhere and threw out the stickers that were to go on them

[Animal7390]

Wait a second, Gamestop is clearing out Blu-Rays at 75% off yet they're still taking in trade-ins for them? What are they giving, a quarter a movie?

i think some of them actually trade in for 6 bucks, but most 3 or less. which is funny because thats how much im paying for them after discount.

[carlamj]

This is my first post here, so I hope I am doing this right. Does anyone know if the GBC itself has any trade in value? Or should I just freecycle it on the off-chance someone wants it?

[dys006]

I managed to get to one GS Friday, they had the scrappiest little cardboard box of beat-up Gameboy games, maybe a dozen total. The guy says, "This is all we have left, they're 50% off." I told him they were actually 75% now, according to the Gamestop website.

Got Pokemon Silver for $1.50, another employee warned me that it can have battery problems. I said for a buck fifty I'll take the chance.

[Rave Child]

This is my first post here, so I hope I am doing this right. Does anyone know if the GBC itself has any trade in value? Or should I just freecycle it on the off-chance someone wants it?

I'm guessing it has almost no TIV, since they sell it used for $10. Apparently, it also qualifies for the 75% off, according to an earlier post, so I doubt they would give more than a couple of bucks.

I stopped by a Gamestop today to swap out some movies they had given me full screencopies of, instead of widescreen. I found out they had some Gameboy games hidden somewhere I hadn't seen before. I scored Dragon Warriors I & II, Wario Land II, Wario Land 3, Link's Awakening DX, and some Yu-Gi-Oh game. I'm loving this sale!

[Link927]

This is my first post here, so I hope I am doing this right. Does anyone know if the GBC itself has any trade in value? Or should I just freecycle it on the off-chance someone wants it?

I believe they dont buy back anything from the GBC and older.

[Dam That River]

This is my first post here, so I hope I am doing this right. Does anyone know if the GBC itself has any trade in value? Or should I just freecycle it on the off-chance someone wants it?

Try selling it on your local craigslist. Depending on the condition, you could get at least $10-20 for it.

[CGH]

Wait a second, Gamestop is clearing out Blu-Rays at 75% off yet they're still taking in trade-ins for them? What are they giving, a quarter a movie?

I think it was a mistake on their part. I have a hard time believing they intentionally priced Blu Ray movies 85% off that is crazy.

[salty tbone]

For what it's worth, as I've been buying GB/GBC games, several stores pointed out they're glad somebody's buying them because they stopped taking trade-ins in the spring and just want to get rid of them.

And as I've bounced around stores, I've learned to dislike that counter case they keep GBA/GB games in. I can't see the back rows and I feel like a dope describing what games I want. "Ok, second shelf. Third row from me. Fourth from your left. No, the one next to it. ..."

I think it was a mistake on their part. I have a hard time believing they intentionally priced Blu Ray movies 85% off that is crazy.

I was thinking GS is looking to drop used movies altogether, but if they're still taking trade-ins like others have said, then, well, WTF are they thinking. $17.99 marked down to $2.70? I'm in. :applause:

I've gone a little nuts with the GB/GBC sale and have been in probably 15-20 Gamestops in the past week, and just one had regular DVDs for sale (oddly the first one I went to). That store also was the only one I saw that had signage stating "75% off used DVDs, HD-DVDs and Blu-Ray." So if it's a mistake, it made it as far as printing up signs for that mistake. :lol:

Whatever the case, I've been buying up Blu-Rays like crazy. This is the type of deal I was hoping for (but never found) when HD-DVD died.

[Animal7390]

gamestop is trying to get out of movies completely. my guess is sooner or later they will stop taking in movies and selling movies and that will be a moviestop only thing.

the bluray and hd part are not accidents, they just want them gone.

[dcgm]

I agree, this sale is making me go nuts. I'm burning so much gas and wasting so much time in hopes of finding massive Blu lots. I've found about 20 so far, and it cost me like 30 dollars. I'm freaking addicted. There are still a few locations I haven't hit up yet, but when they're done I will have seriously gone to at least 20 GS, possibly every single one in a 100 mile radius lol

[irishsoccermbw]

I've racked up about 27 blus so far, 4 more stores to hit. Will post a final tally when I'm back later but this deal has been amazing...considering I had so much cheap credit from the Hollywood deal. :)

[LilPaintballer]

i m going to try and hit my local gs up right now for dvds and gbc games. maybe this rain will hold up.

[irishsoccermbw]

While I was out getting a few last blu rays and b2g1 pickups, I saw a gameboy color system in the case. Bought it for 2.5x :) best price I've ever seen on a system :) :)

[LilPaintballer]

just got back from my gs, not as much as i expected alot of duplicates, but snagged these:

Legend Of Zelda Oracle Of Seasons x3-6.25
Legend Of Zelda Oracle Of Ages x1-2.50
Legend Of Zelda Link's Awakening DX x1-1.25

Damn, those are good ones. Best ones I've gotten were Pokemon Crystal and Zelda LA DX.


Hit up 6 more stores within 25 miles of me. Got Clockwork Orange on blu ray and Turok 3. I think this area is cleaned out.

Just to clarify, Alpharetta, Woodstock, Kennessaw, and Atlanta georgia gamestops are CLEANED OUT. Maybe I can save someone gasoline and time?

i have that gs, which i picked clean... i think. And one about 4 miles away with 3 gs's next to it in the same mall. maybe i can get some more to enjoy a gameboy micro

Edit- Just looked at the store availability things are looking good... hopefully it goes well next weekend

Consider me jealous. I've been everywhere and the only Zelda game I found was the original Link for GB. I tried store locator but every store that comes up says "We stopped selling Gameboy games months ago." Must've never purged their inventory for Web site purposes.

[gi60]

Is the deal valid for new bluray too?

[chimpster1313]

Is the deal valid for new bluray too?

nope. i checked when i went. you could ask, but the 2 places i went to they said no.

I meant the Hollywoods. I only managed to get to the Ellsworth GS while there. Everyone was sick Friday, either something bad at dinner or we all picked up a bug. :(

[Slim Gatsby]

I went to another GameStop today before work. I completely forgot that they had sold DVDs, so they had signage and were mostly picked through as a result, although I did find the Die Hard collection (first three movies), the Pokemon movie, and 24 Season 2 amongst a couple of others. Then I asked about GB/C games.

They handed me a list and told me to tell them what I wanted.

$100 later, I had a shoebox full of games (still typing up the list!) and they gave me a bunch of Mirror's Edge bags as thanks for helping them clear out their inventory.


I also grabbed 6 Wii Sports at 2 different GS's =D

[salty tbone]

They handed me a list and told me to tell them what I wanted.

I got the list treatment today too. I got excited to finally find Dragon Warrior III, but sure enough, all the crap I bought works, but one of the few games I really wanted doesn't play. :bomb:

[DQT]

How can you guys tell if a store is a GBC dump? I'd like to give some love to my GBA.

I cant believe that stores still have those, and the fact they gave them away for clearing inventroy. Must have some connections? Lucky lucky, congrats!

Nope -- just luck and asking nicely (at every store I've been to). Its a big store, but I think its relatively low-volume because there's a mall with three stores just a few miles in one direction, and another store in every direction just a few miles away.

And I'm sure that renewing my Edge since it expired yesterday didn't hurt, either.

Is the deal valid for new bluray too?
no doesn't work. i had a few new BD's scanned and it rang up full price. weird, cuz they threw the new BD's in the bin that said 75% off movies. sucks.

[Animal7390]

in all my searching, i have run into about 10 movies that are "new" but the case is open, and the disc is no different than those used but since it is new in the system they cant \ wont do anything about it. i did run into one store that actually had 2 sealed ones in a drawer and when i didnt want them they threw them back in it.

[dcgm]

I tried to off the rest of the unwanted loot today. CD Warehouse didn't want the shitty films on Blu Ray that I got (some Ice cube film, prom night, other pieces of crap), and FYE had a problem with 1 disc having what could possibly be the most hairline scratch I've ever seen on digital media (and of course the middle aged guy felt all important and powerful by telling me that he wouldn't take them). FYE didn't want the other crappy movies either.

Last try was a pawn shop near me. The fucking idiot owned gave me a ridiculous $10 per Blu. I was shocked.

Payed about 30-40 in Blu at gamestop, got around $130 in cash back via trades/selling. Very thrilled about this :D

[2sday]

are these new or used? do they ring up as 75% off, or is it displayed and marked off manually? do they even ring up used games?

i called a few gamestops in the area, and none knew what I was talking about... but they could have been retarded. PLEASE help...

[karkyco]

Are you saying that Torrance is ghetto? :-s Maybe LB but I don't think Torrance is ghetto. Maybe I'm reading your post wrong.

Anyways, all I managed to find was Kiss of the Dragon BR and Are We Done Yet? BR. Both of the GS in Torrance that I checked didn't have anything good. I wasn't able to check one because they closed at 8pm.

Nah I meant the Long Beach stores and the stores where most of the Gameboy/GBC games were popping up as being in stock - mainly Watts, South Central, East LA, Wilmington, Long Beach...it seems like the ones in LA that are the dump stores are stores in the ghetto.

Torrance is cool, for the most part. Now Lawndale, ugh ;)...hahaha!!!

[Animal7390]

So are they shipping ALL of their DVDs to the warehouse? Or only the ones they get traded in starting tomorrow?

[Paco]

All Gameboy games have been hoarded in my area. I couldn't get jack **** unfortunately. The only one I know of that had em was a place about 40 minutes away from me.

[Devil May Cry]

I've only got some bad DVDs at mine. I'm going to check another tomorrow. Is there an end date on this?

[Animal7390]

i would say soon as i posted the 2 districts around me got the same email stating that they are no longer allowed to sell trades starting today. the stock they have is probably still up for grabs till the end of the week but i wouldnt waste time.

[karkyco]

Cool, thanks Animal. I'm hitting one more store today on the hopes its GB/GBC selection hasn't been raided, and will check for any remotely decent DVDs (crossing fingers for more Transformers/GIJoe seasons, as well as some other seasons)...haven't found anything really decent in the way of BluRays.

The one game I really want, Dragon Warrior 3, is 50 some odd miles away. DOOOOOH!!!

[Animal7390]

happen to find any extra transformer seasons?

[karkyco]

happen to find any extra transformer seasons?

Nah, I wish! Most of the Gamestops by me have crap as far as DVDs goes. Some of the boxed sets do come up in searches on the site at stores "near me" but pretty far out of the way. Thankfully I completed the Transformers seasons as they came out. I'm only missing GI Joe Season 2 part 1 as far as those goes.

I just got back from the second Long Beach GB/GBC dump store, holy crap they had more than I've ever seen...at least 200 games. We need to start a trade thread - I'm still mainly looking for Dragon Warrior 3, Megaman Xtreme 2, and Bubble Bobble. I will update my trade list with my dupes, PM offers, etc.

But I ended up getting 33 games for...$32.48!!! I left a lot of dupes behind, including 3 or 4 copies of Zelda Oracle of Ages...basically I picked out the best copies of various games. I got a few kiddy/Disney games for my daughter, hopefully they will be decent. But for a couple of quarters here and there, LOL I'll take the chance!

I got:

Pokemon Pinball $.45
Worms Armageddon $.75
Kirby's Dream Land 1 $.75
Kirby's Dream Land 2 $1.50
Double Dragon $1.50
Megaman Xtreme $1.50
1942 $.45
Lion King: Simba's Adventure $1.50 x2 (DOH! Didn't mean to get 2)
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe $1.50
Harvest Moon $.90 x2
Sword of Hope $.45
Dragon's Lair $.90
Star Trek 25th Anniversary $.45
Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge $.75
Metal Walker: $.75
Tetris Attack $.75
Super Breakout $.45
Super Mario Land $1.50
Krusty's Fun House $.75
Simpson's Treehouse of Horror $1.50
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages $1.50
R-Type DX $.45
Super Return of the Jedi $.75
Heianko Alien $.45
Bonk's Adventure $.75
Hercules $.45
Contra: Alien Wars $1.50
Duck Tales $.45
Game & Watch Gallery $.30
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker $1.50
Castlevania Adventure $.45

33 games, came out to $30 exactly, with tax $32.48. Unreal. The original total was $214 something, LOL.

It looks like I will be adding the following to my trade list:

Kirby's Dream Land 1
Double Dragon
Megaman Xtreme
Lion King: Simba's Adventure
Harvest Moon
Super Mario Land
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages x2
Game & Watch Gallery x2
Castlevania Adventure
Lufia: The Legend Returns
TMNT 3

The mystery of what happened with all the dvds and blu-ray movies has been solved in my area... all were sent to the local moviestop, which I kinda thought was what happened, but I had it confirmed... damn... seeing some of the blu-ray discs people have scored on here for next to nothing leaves me very jealous... I only scored a copy of The Lookout and SWAT... whoopie...

[salty tbone]

I've been to a ridiculous number of Gamestops in the past week hunting GB/GBC games, and have still only found one that had DVDs. The ones that had Blu-Rays dried up quickly -- I haven't seen any since Saturday when I got Tropic of Thunder (pretty random I thought since it was a new release and only priced at $14.99).

[Slim Gatsby]

Tonight, I was lucky enough to pick up 23 movies on HD formats. The eleven I'll be adding to my collection include:

HD-DVD:
Payback
Tomb Raider
Seabiscuit
Jet Li's Fearless
The Rundown
Forbidden Planet
How The Grinch Stole Chirstmas

BD:
Meet the Robinsons
The Prestige
The Fountain

Tradables includes both Transformers and TMNT on HD (I've got both on BD), and I grabbed extra HD's of Animal House, Caddyshack, T3, and BD's of Superman, Devil's Rejects, and another Spiderman 3 (Can't resist for a buck fiddy).

I also have a few more huge bags of GB/C games, but a list of those will have to wait until after papers are turned in.

[dcgm]

^^ Watched The Prestige on the Blu that I got from GS last week. Awesome movie :D

@karkyco: If you call them and ask nicely for them to ship it to a local store for you, they just might. The last GS I was at was willing to do that with a few.

went to a gamestop that didn't carry any movies, but they did have bunch of used blu-rays along with PS3 games. so check there.

Cool, I can definitely give that a try. But around here, the employees tend to be hustlers, so if you call about stuff like that, they will go and look up real-world values and usually end up keeping good loot for themselves. I will do it in this case, though, because I have nothing to lose. And if I can get some extra Transformers boxed sets I would much rather trade them here for someone that really wants them and will enjoy them, than let them fall into the hands of some ebay reseller only out for profit.

That's why I didn't even call the GB/GBC dump stores to see if they still had certain games or a large selection in stock. I don't want them getting wise to the treasure they have...in LA everybody is hustling and out to make a buck...way too much competition already.

[Butterfly719]

Only found 1 local store so far today which carries DVDs. They had like a dozen blu-rays sitting on the shelf :shock: My best take was a copy of the 2 disc Platinum edition Sleeping Beauty 50th Anniversary for $2.70 :D.
I was also able to get:

three copies of Spiderman 3
one Resident Evil: Extinction
one The Lookout
one Mr. Brooks
and one Bridge to Terabithia

All of them were in amazingly mint condition. Picked up all 8 blu-rays for approximately $18. Oh, and I also scored the complete series of Firefly for $4.50 (also in excellent condition). We've got a few more stores to check tonight!

[CGH]

Zelda DX $0.45
Pokemon Silver $1.50
Pokemon Crystal $2.55

Pokemon Crystal has a bad battery or bad internal clock or both. The game does not save and I cannot see the time.

[Rave Child]

Zelda DX $0.45
Pokemon Silver $1.50
Pokemon Crystal $2.55

Pokemon Crystal has a bad battery or bad internal clock or both. The game does not save and I cannot see the time.

The same thing will probably happen to Silver within a year. Neither of the Pokemon Blue copies I bought will save, so it's a little annoying. Although I did buy them mostly to goof around with and do speedruns, so it's not the end of the world if I can't save.

[dcgm]

I actually enjoy opening up consoles to repair minor issues. I had to open a Sega CD to replace the battery, and that was an epic headache. The damn thing wasn't just soldered in there, but pretty much welded. Replacing a battery in a cartridge shouldn't be too bad, and it will give it a brand new life.

[dizz.lee]

animal, sent you a pm :)

[GameBoyee]

Is The Gamestop in plattsburgh still have GBC For the deal?

If so Some One Pick Me Up Joust/Defender And tetris Attack And PM Me

All GS should have it, the problem is finding a GS with gbc games in stock

[NoobHammer]

Yeah, the GS in downtown Madison, WI has been cleaned out for awhile but they must have found something because when I was in there today, I found a Pokemon Red and Blue for 2.99 apiece. Little beat up on the label but after buying the pair for $ 0.90 in store credit, I discovered they both save so bonus!

[Rave Child]

I totally lucked out yesterday finding a copy of Lufia at a store that's pretty far out of my way. I had totally forgotten about it, but I was in the area so I checked. That was one of the five games that I really really wanted. Now to find a copy of Crystalis and Super Mario Land 2. There's one store near my parents' home that looks like it has a TON of gameboy games, so maybe I'll be able to hit it up around Christmas if no one beats me to it.

[BarbblerElf]

Just wondering but is this still active. The gamestop near me has a lot of dvds and gbC and gb games

[Rave Child]

Yes, and it should be ongoing. It's listed on their site as one of their special deals right now. They're trying to liquidate these, so the discounts won't be going away.

[BarbblerElf]

I see the gb and gbc coupon but nothing about dvds
