[Master Shake]

Thanks that coupon may be of use to me.

[oxidative]

Thanks for the update!

[Fayt13]

Darn, another trade in coupon.

[joshnorm]

I know they are stocked up to the brim with everything so give us a good deal damit.

Well my money is safe from GS now....Amazon on the other hand.....

[irishsoccermbw]

fuck gamestop's recent coupon decisions

[ninjabenja]

Thanks for the post, I always look forward to it each week.

[Nirron]

fuck gamestop's recent coupon decisions

Seriously. We're at either week 4 or 5 of nothing but bonus trade in coupons. It's getting ridiculous.

[NoobHammer]

Stocking up for a good coupon deal. These crap coupons are good for the old wallet so this is good news this week.

[Penguin1084]

damn gamestop to hell.

at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if they kept giving us 25% extra trade credit coupons all the way down to atari 2600... just to piss me off.

[eugaet]

GameStop is dead to me.

[vherub]

I would wager the trade-in coupons continue. Gamestop needs to defend their trade-in business as tru, bestbuy, amazon, etc begin to enter the used game arena.

[JP]

Ad fully updated, i think.

[Nirron]

I would wager the trade-in coupons continue. Gamestop needs to defend their trade-in business as tru, bestbuy, amazon, etc begin to enter the used game arena.

I'd be interested to know how many people they get that take advantage of trade-in coupons vs % off coupons. They make insane amounts of money, but so many of us won't touch quite a few of the used games unless there's some kind of decent coupon to bring the price down. I just wonder how long they can hold off giving any kind of % off coupon, if they actually get a decent amount of activity with the coupons.

[Vinny]

Bah! Weak! But I can't do any shopping this week anyway so it's not too big of a deal.

Thanks for keeping up with these OP.:)

[irishsoccermbw]

When are they gonna start clearing out xbox stuff!!!!

[karkyco]

I gotta throw my support behind the peanut gallery...this is really getting to be ridiculous.

I went into one store earlier today, and their used PS3 section was overflowing. Hell, ALL of their used sections were bursting at the seams. Same at every single location the past week. Enough already. Give us a fat 25%-er off, Gamestop!



When are they gonna start clearing out xbox stuff!!!!

Yeah, that's what I want to know, too. Got a Steel Battalion complete with my name on it...I want it 50% off at the very least, so bad. B2G1 XBox only won't work because there's nothing else to be had for the system at that price...

[Organ Donor]

Nothing for me. Thanks, jp.

[J7.]

I think we may see the B2G1F before a % off. That way they can sell a lot more.

[jza1218]

People want to buy stuff Gamestop!

[wildnuts02]

wow another trade in coupon...

[chronojin]

another lame coupon ~_~. Thanks for the update though

sick and Fuck tired of the Fuck coupons!!!!!!!

[JJSP]

We'll get a couple of lame coupons (trade-ins, $5 off guide with Resident Evil 5, $5 off music game accessories w GH Metallica) leading in to the big B2G1 weekend for the Gameday sale. Stock up on credit now, blow your credity load all over 50% off old stuff and B2G1.

[SL4IN]

Fuck you, Gamestop.

[JP]

Resi 5 available on 3/24/09?!?!

Sorry about that, was editing the ad fast. Now fixed.

The gameday sale will probably be when they start clearancing out a lot of the Xbox stuff as well more than likely.

[wampa8jedi]

Meh, it just gets worse ;)

OP - you may want to correct your post: it lists the DSi's release date as March 5 (that is, today), rather than April 5.

That would require more thought than any of the development that went into those games. :lol:

[Distrato]

Another week of saving my money :D The Rock Band deal is pretty good if you have Rock Band 2. $20 to import over 50 songs sounds good to me. I already have both though.

[dallascowboys]

The $5 extra credit on DS games was good for me. I had around four or five games valued a little less than $10. The original credit was around $30, but $65 after edge card and the coupon.

[iNFiNiTE HORiZON]

what is the rock band game, is it the first rock band? or is it one of those track packs? i cant find rock band for 360 on their site...

but if its the first one, will it work with my guitar hero 2 guitar controller? or do i need to get the drums and stuff?

definatly gonna pick up guitar hero 3 for $12.99

[brighenne]

Where the hell is my 25% off ps3 coupon?

[bg2001]

man these coupons are sucking...this one especially now that the 10/20/40 is going on!

Click the "show backordered" button on the bottom, it should pop up. It's the first Rock Band game, and yes, it'll work with the Xplorer. You'll only need the drums if you want to play drums, as you've got the option to go through the career as just a guitarist. You can use any USB microphone for vocals (or the 360's headset) as well.

[JP]

I found the headset to be problematic a lot of times, but it does work.

[xycury]

man these coupons are sucking...this one especially now that the 10/20/40 is going on!


someone must have skipped an intelligent class with these coupons.

40 can't compare to 25.

[blandstalker]

Tiresome, crap coupon, but the used deal is pretty good.

[ItsaMeMario]

lulz...do they have any other system trade-in coupon that they could possible do?...

watch, next week it's gonna be "25% extra trade-in credit on all ACCESSORIES"

[hypertails02]

Guys, if you have never been to the blog site Joystiq, they have an Instrument Compatibility Matrix (http://www.joystiq.com/Instrument-Compatibility-Matrix/) that deals with all Guitar Hero/Rock Band instruments on all consoles. Click the link and that should answer your questions.

[iNFiNiTE HORiZON]

thanks for the reply man!

looks like im gonna pick up GH3 and RB now :D

[emg28]

Why doesn't GS want me to spend any my store credit? :cry:

[LiteOnMe]

Is it better to buy the rb1 game or just get the key to export all the songs?

[crunchewy]

I don't think they are going to have a good (for purchasing) coupon until the tiered trade-in deal is over. What's the point of simultaneously having a good all-platform trade-in deal and a good percent off coupon? None, I don't think. So you're going to be waiting a while longer yet, I suspect. You've got until April.

[JP]

Also notice that the tiered trade ends around the time of the Game Days sale. Coincidence? I think not.

[Zaggart]

at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if they kept giving us 25% extra trade credit coupons all the way down to atari 2600... just to piss me off.

lol - I'm hoping for a 25% N-gage trade in credit next week. I have enough games that I'd make at least a whole dollar! :D

They have done both promo and coupon at the same time before. IIRC, they had several % off coupons during a 10/20/30% bonus trade-in promo twice last year. So who knows?

Last year, I don't think they went more than 2 weeks without a % off coupon. I guess most of us are just spoiled.

[gshell]

dammit......what happened to all the 20% off used games and b2g1......this is crap....oh well i guess they save those deals for the end of year.

[kidu]

I ran back through my old e-mails, and this is now the 5th straight trade-in coupon. They've gone PSP, PS3, DS, Wii, and 360. My guess is next week is a RE5 coupon (20% extra credit towards the purchase of RE5 perhaps), and the week after that will be a PS2 / Cube trade-in coupon. Then, HOPEFULLY, we can actually get some 20-25% off coupons or some B2G1 action.


As long as you have a HD it is way better to export the songs since you'll be able to play them with the updated Rock Band 2. Of course if you were looking to get into Rock Band this is the way to go.

Not to condone ripping the songs and returning the game but GS does have a seven day return policy...

Yeah...not to condone it, but...yeah, just buy a used RB, rip the songs, and return.

[halofreak64]

When are they gonna start clearing out xbox stuff!!!!

I hear yeah I want to grab some games im missing for my xbox collection not paying 15 bucks for them thought want to get to the 400 mark on xbox games lol

[bvharris]

What the frak, Gamestop? I used to look forward to getting these e-mails, but the last month has been extremely frustrating, especially for people like me who pretty much always keep their games.

[GuardianE]

I hope that after this wave of trade in coupons, we'll see a really good discount coupon coming up. These past few weeks have been so boring in this respect.

Thanks, OP!

[Sgt Barone]

Rock Band and Guitar Hero III (Xbox 360/PS3 game only) are each $14.99 used at Gamestop this week only.

[shrike4242]

Bump back to page 1.

[CocheseUGA]

Worst. Gamestop. Ad. Ever.

[camelking6969]

all i need is a good deal for a set of drums, might take my copy back and just gt rb1 for 99.99

[jonathanp]

In for Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3.

[ebay33]

Last day of the sale, went and picked up Rock Band. They gave me the Edge discount on the original price of $29.99 - $3 off and then the sale price rang up at $15 and only had to pay $11.99 for the game. Not a bad deal. Not sure if it rings up this way at all the GS stores, but if you are planning on picking this up today, make sure to give them your Edge card. YMMV.

[JP]

Edge always works that way.
