But im thinking about returning LBP for MLB the Show 09.. thye didnt have it at the store i was at.. how do they handle that return?.. Infamous is the one that rang up 0.00..
Sweet, we are some lucky dudes!
As far as the return goes, I'm pretty sure you have to wait for the store you got the games at to get The Show in used because you can't return used games at different stores. I'm about 95% sure of this. Give them a call.

Wrong. I return games to other stores all of the time. In fact, I did it twice today.

Thats exactly what I did today. Bought Fable2, GTA4, and Shaun White Snowboarding today. Exchanging that last one for Call of Duty 4 when I get that chance tomorrow. Just need to make sure to bring in all 3 games along with the receipt.

you can return or exchange at a different store. Af for returning on the B2G1 they will allow you to return the game but then charge you for the one you got free. (tried to do it this weekend. wasn't even returning wanted to return two and get a higher priced game) you can however exchange it for one of equal value at any gamestop. (went to four different gamestops before i found something i wanted to keep)

Thanks for the heads up though.

I went on Friday and picked up a few games for my PS2...
MS Saga: A New Dawn
Grandia X-Treme
Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil (Free)
Bujingai: The Forsaken City
Samurai Legend Musashi
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (Free)
The copy of MGS 2 was actually the version from the MGS Collection, which I thought was kinda weird, since I thought the version in the collection was Substance, but it was only $4.99.

I just DON'T get how the hell someone can pay $60 for a game, then beat it within 2-3 days and trade it in for half of what they paid. There's alot of people out there with ALOT of disposable income, I suppose, since I see used copies of new release titles less than a week after release.
Would I do such a thing? Not since I found CAG, that's for sure. Even if I DO pay close to retail for something, you better believe I'm beating it and my friends are beating it and I'm playing through it AGAIN before I EVER consider trading it in for the jackshit GS gives.

You do realize that both the 360 and PS3 versions of GTAIV are $14.99 USED at Blockbuster and that Target had NEW copies of COD 4(for PS3 and 360, I think)for $37 last week, right? Just saying....

The better idea would be for them to rent it, my brother used to do this samething and i never understood... but i think it happens because some people get these games with a five finger discount.. so its no loss to them.. the employee was telling me the guy who traded it in for 3x.xx, said he beat it four times already..he must have no life and only thing he does is spend money on games..
I could have also got Cross Edge, but i didnt cause im not into those types of games..
I wish i could put sign outside GS saying that i will pay $5 more for certain brand new games with my phone number on it.. I might do that with the Walmart Trading Kiosk:D
It must be hard being a gamer and employee at GS because you would love to make a side deal with people who trade in gamesbut you get fired.. the GS employee that helped me was debating on buying Infamous and was kinda mad when his manager told me that had just got a used infamous in.

I really wish Hollywood Video would have another last gen $4 game sale, since I'd then consider trading in some crap to GS or trading into Amazon's used game store, though I'm not sure what they demand as far as quality goes.
EDIT: Nevermind about the Amazon trade thing, since I just checked and most of the NES/SNES and other systems games they'll take are at least 3's on the Digit Press rarity guide. In other words, select harder to find games. LOL Figures.

Hi guys, so since you can exchange games at different stores, would it be possible to switch out the free game later? I ideally want to switch it for something that costs more.
I bought two 54.99 games, and the free one was worth 39.99. Am I screwed if I want to get a higher priced free game? Thanks!

Good luck finding The Show used now, even with the problems its had, you'll be lucky to find used copies before the All-Star Break, more likely until August-September as owners of that game generally don't trade it in until football season at the earliest.
My local Gamestop had it once since launch, and it was gone the next day.

I would think it won't work. Usually what they would do is a return/rebuy, except the rebuy entry wouldn't have the promo in the computer anymore. I think they probably would allow an exchange for a similar priced game, but check with them first.

What are some good 360 games around $30-35??
I got GTA IV for free because I couldn't find anything else at that particular gamestop...but I plan on switching the GTA out for something else and just getting GTA at BBV for $15

Dead Space and Fable 2 seem the most popular.

Yeah, if you had done the exchange during the sale, it would be simple to get a $54.99 game to replace the $39.99 by just doing a return-rebuy. Now that the sale is over, I don't know if you'll be able to do it.

Got a 2nd copy of Sacred 2 to give to my Nephew for his birthday. Love the fact that if you pay with store credit, they don't charge you tax!

They also charge tax here in Ohio, but thankfully not in Kentucky. I drive through Kentucky to get to work & to pick up my kid from the babysitter, so there are 2 or 3 that are conveniently located for me along my route :)

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah I did know about the COD4 at Target. Didn't know about the Blockbuster price though. The only Blockbuster left near me is pretty much cleaned out of games anyways when I went to check for prepackaged games from the other deal thread (it doesn't have a game store).
But the way I see it is if I divide the costs, I'm getting Fable2 LE, COD4, and GTA4 for around $22 each used with edge. I can live with that :)

my games shipped on the 1st, it says they will be here on the 4th. If so, that is easily the fastest that Gamestop has ever shipped games to me using the SAVER shipping.

I keep seeing people chanting b2g1 free but they're doing buy 1 get 1 free used games online, plus they have free shipping. Why not do that? True they don't have like god of war 3 and ffx13 used online (have both amazing buy them nao!) but at stores. Still other than that the online only deal looks good. The code is UBOGO, not sure when it expires. Take care.

So you revived a year old thread in the graveyard to tell us about a dead deal which has its own large thread. In the graveyard. Stating the fact that it only worked for 12 hours. Meaning that it no longer works.
