Will update with the rest of the Weekly Ad later this evening. To be honest, not a lot in there. Looks like everyone will be using the B2G1 this weekend instead of the coupon.

[earvcunanan]

Whoa... would this stack with the extra 30% for 5 or more games?!

[InFlames215]

Whoa... would this stack with the extra 30% for 5 or more games?!

No. Nothing ever stacks except Edge.

[jp0213]

It says in the first post: "Coupon DOES NOT stack with any other offer, except EDGE cards."

[earvcunanan]

No. Nothing ever stacks except Edge.

Ah, okay then.

[pun123]

Hope they bring back the trade 2 and get extra $10.

[bigdaddybruce44]

Not too bad if you have a game or two that is fairly new and still has a high TIV.

[Tsukento]

Sam & Max on Wii for $20? Hell yes!

[azeru]

I miss Cellfire. =( This coupon isn't too bad if you just have a single game to trade in though!

[Gotran]

Not bad at all.

[loafing...]

It seems to me it would be simple enough to trade some games in with coupon, get credit put on a card, then drive to a different gamestop and get the B2G1.

Is there really something in place to stop this from happening? Seems like a good weekend to go to gamestop.

Nothing in place at all. And if the employee isn't being a douche, they can simply ring up the trade-in transaction and then start another one for the B2G1.

There's nothing illegal or wrong in what you said, so why would you need to go to another GS rather than do all transactions at the one you're currently at?

[bigdaddybruce44]

He's asking due to the fact that it would need to be two transactions. A GS employee could potentially deny doing the second transaction, because you're technically circumventing the system.

[Friend of Sonic]

I wish they went all out and gave 30%. Depending on what game you are trading in, it would be slightly more cost effective to simply buy some old sports games to trade in with your three titles. But, it would only be a slight profit for the extra bit of trouble.

[dg7md]

What about the typical exclusions from promos? Like 06 sports games, PDZ, PGR, etc. would those count towards this?

[JTHuffy]

Any good flips with the radio shack clearances?

[salty tbone]

What about the typical exclusions from promos? Like 06 sports games, PDZ, PGR, etc. would those count towards this?

Yeah. But 25% of next to nothing is still nothing. :)

[GuardianE]

lmao, I called it.

It's crap.

[wampa8jedi]

This is actually extremely useful to me--I have exactly two games I need/want to trade in that are high value, and the cellfire coupon is dead. I've just got to wait for my new $2 Edge card to come in the mail (they cashed my check yesterday, so I expect it soon).

[bigdaddybruce44]

Exactly. There are really no exclusions here.

When did they start another B2G1?

[bigdaddybruce44]

B2G1 runs this weekend.

Tomorrow, thread on the main page.

EDIT: DAMN YOU BIGDADDY!!! Just playing man, you seem to beat me to the punch a lot.

thanks for the 100th time ;)

[shadowkast]

Can anyone find out the TIV for the AC/DC track pack (PS3) for me if they are out. I won't be able to head out til sat. thanx

[jp0213]

Well they sell the 360 version for $20 used, I'm assuming the PS3 version has the same price. With that in mind I wouldn't expect more than $8. I could be wrong though.

[hurley7715]

quick question guys.. if i dont have my Edge card on me, but I want to buy a used game... will they look up my info in the computer, or do i have to have my card on me at all times?

[guinaevere]

[shadowkast]

I'm assuming you were answering my question. So roughly $8 +35%. Trying to get the ac/dc trackpack for cheap, figuring out a strategy....:-k

[Ender]

This is perfect for me. I want to get rid of my PS3 copy of Mirror's Edge, and I have a $25 GC to GS. Add to that the few bucks I have in TIV on my Edge card, and I'm hoping I have enough to snag a copy of Prince of Persia.

[RaidenMGS3]

ROFLMAO @ the PS2/XB versions of Madden 07 being a dollar MORE than the 360 version. Too funny.

And is Crackdown worth 10 bucks? I'm trying to decide between it or Kane & Lynch. All I care about is the easiest achievement points possible.

Crackdown remains to this day my absolutely favorite game on 360.

Achievements are pretty easy with the harder ones being more attainable after you've fully maxed out your character's stats.

[bigdaddybruce44]

Crackdown is a game I have been looking at for a long time. I kept meaning to rent it from GF, but there was just so many other things above it on my Q. Less than $10 after EDGE might just be my breaking point.

[jjhearn]

The 25% is actually helpful to me, because I have several games to trade in. I will trade in 3-4 games probably 2 different times and then wind up using the B2G1. Or, I still have the 25% for used XBOX coupon.

Anything up to 4 games is 5% more, and that is better than nothing I guess.

[JJSP]

Crackdown is like GTA on speed. Extremely fun, and lots to do - once you start leveling up your character, anything is possible. Wanna toss a car at some bad guys? Wanna toss a bad guy at some bad guys?

[bigdaddybruce44]

Yeah, that is what really interests me in this one. I love GTA, and I love comic books. This game sounds like it really grasps the feel of what it is like to control a superhuman.

[nexen]

hey guys i want to use this but all i have is regular computer paper will that work?

also the game i have i had to tape the corner of the cover because the plastic on the corner ripped off..will they take it? thanks.

Yes on both counts.

I use printed out coupons all the time.

Although I haven't traded in any games in bad condition yet, I believe they'll take disc-only and not even mark you down. GS does have an arbitrarily applied "cleaning cost" for scruffed-up discs though.

[deadlykeyboard]

Horrible coupon.

[bigdaddybruce44]

How so?

[jjhearn]

I saw the poster ask about regular computer paper. Does it matter if it is in black and white??

[bigdaddybruce44]

I've used black and white before. All they need is the code. A few times, I have had the employee at the store I always go to just punch the code in for me.

[rickdom]

I'll have to check out Crackdown at $10. So, does it qualify for B2G1 in-store?

[jdeluis]

Time to trade in Rock Band Track Pack V.2 for the Xbox360.

[IronsideGrunt]

Thanks for the heads up on the coupon as always JP

[joshnorm]

Well it looks like I am going to be dropping a couple of games off to pick up a couple during the B2G1 deal.

[bigdaddybruce44]

I'll have to check out Crackdown at $10. So, does it qualify for B2G1 in-store?

The two promos do not stack. So, if you were to try to use Crackdown as one of your three, six, etc games, it would ring up its regular price.

[jp0213]

I put something in the main post now about Used Deal of the Week being a promotion and only works with EDGE. Thanks for pointing that out so I could put it in the main post.

[evildeadjedi]

Yeah, that is what really interests me in this one. I love GTA, and I love comic books. This game sounds like it really grasps the feel of what it is like to control a superhuman.

Caution!:hot: you will be become an orb junkie though. Must get them all! Must jump across multiple buildings in a single bound! I would love to see a sequel though one con on the game is the story line is rather bland and straight-forward.

[bigdaddybruce44]

There's a new GameStop in my city (that makes three in a city of 55,000, though I suspect one of them might close soon). So, I might need to take a little ride over, check it out, and pick up my copy of Crack...down. Haha...get it? Yeah...

Boooooo...

[jjhearn]

I know this is off topic, but I remember seeing a used XBOX 25% coupon, anyone have any idea where it is? I would like to use that since I am having a hard time finding 3 used games I want. thanks

[bigdaddybruce44]

You don't need to trade in three games. The limit is three.

[jjhearn]

I am sorry, it is for a purchase. I have several to trade, just nothing I am wanting as of now except for Oblivion, and maybe GT WT, but I have not found that 1 yet.

[bigdaddybruce44]

Ah, my bad. I misread. There isn't any 360 coupon this week. That was last week's.

[jjhearn]

Ok, thanks BDB. I thought it ended today, maybe I will try and get in on the B2G1. thanks for the reply.

[1trueshad0w]

EDIT: Nevermind, dumb question.

[D_Icon]

I bought new Rock Band 2 game only on Black Friday, but I don't have the receipt. Can I still return it for a full refund?

[archibishopthedoge]

I bought new Rock Band 2 game only on Black Friday, but I don't have the receipt. Can I still return it for a full refund?

Nope. There is probably no place that would allow you to return it for a full refund without a receipt on the planet most likely.

The best GS would offer you is trade-in.

[kidrocklive]

The two promos do not stack. So, if you were to try to use Crackdown as one of your three, six, etc games, it would ring up its regular price.

oh wow that's weak

[Puerto Rican HoBo]

Well, I used this coupon yesterday to trade in Dead Space. TIV's @ $18. The cool part is that I also got a 20% bonus for pre-ordering a game on top of EDGE & the coupon. I'm guessing this is extremely YMMV however.

[jp0213]

Definitely YMMV.

[bigdaddybruce44]

Finally, finally got Crackdown. $8.70 after EDGE and tax. You simply cannot beat that. Copy was in great shape, too, which was surprise, considering the age of the game.

[shivaedge]

I'm kind of lost. What's this B2G1 deal people are mentioning?

[CheaperThanYou]

I'm kind of lost. What's this B2G1 deal people are mentioning?

Sorry man, but that deal was only a three-day deal and ended on Sunday.

[DeliveryPizza]

Hope they bring back the trade 2 and get extra $10.

ya I'm with you there.. nothing like trading in crap EA sports games from 2007 that would normally get about a dollar in trade in credit and getting an extra 10 dollars our of them!

[bigdaddybruce44]

Wow, thanks to everyone who has suggested Crackdown. I popped it in a few hours ago, saying I would go to bed soon. Didn't happen. This game is a ton of fun.

[jp0213]

Yeah, the game is super addictive. Especially when you get on an Agility Orb hunt. I'll stop at this one, wait there is another. Ooooh, there is one there too. It never stops.

[hawaiiboy]

any update on what the new weekly coupon is going to be starting tomorrow?

[jp0213]

Wont know until around 3:30PM Central Time or later. Same as every other week.

[bob330i]

I think there was a catch with those. Had to be >$1 TIV.
