Last time with GameStop I tried to do about 4 different orders, but on the 4th one, it wouldn't take my credit card info anymore. Something about the address being wrong, even though it took the address for the other orders. I called them and they said it's supposed to do that to prevent people from placing too many orders.... http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_mistrust.gif I swear, GameStop buying EB is just the worst thing that ever could have happened to video games.

Good way to stop hoarders too.

[ryosnk]

Thanks op.

[fatbeer]

One coupon only,not gurantee a complete copy and variable condition.I will pass on this one.

[megaseadramon]

Most likely you will get disc only, but EB is better at giving the box and manual.

[eviltoylet]

Thanks OP, going to pick up Shadow of Colossus and Dragon Quest 8.

Hrmm.. anyone know if edge cards still work on the website? Doesn't seem to be working for me.

i think one game has to be 19.99 and above, the other 19.99 and below

So I don't think that will work.

[sesshoumarusama]

there sure does seem like alot of backordered games now:P

[Masterkyo]

NO DS game :(

[fwacce]

Good way to stop hoarders too.

That hoarder comment get old. I just had some games I wanted to order and was waiting for a deal like this to come along. Since it only lets you get the discount for one game per order, I had to place multiple orders. Believe me, GameStop doesn't care about stopping hoarders. They only care about controlling every customer's orders to get the best profit for the company.

lol GameStop is the ultimate hoarder.

[coolsteel]

Funny, finally a buy one get one free on 19.99 games and for all intents and purposes it is useless to me as ebgames.com is now, games I would be interested in are backordered or simply no longer listed.

[awsookysooky]

I like how there are only 3 games for the PSP:Gripshift, The Hustle and MLB!!! woo hoo

[anotherpoorgamer]

Will they ever do this sale in-store?

[Number83]

Not to mention that it isn't guaranteed to be complete?

[shieryda]

This is tempting, but only if they can guarantee case and instruction manual.

[Roufuss]

Agreed... I really don't think a hoarder would be interested in buying an expensive game that's not guaranteed to be complete, and getting an inexpensive game (also probably not complete) that dosen't sell for shit on Ebay. Not too mention the games are probably all scratched to hell.

Yes, hoarders are eating this sale up!!!

I love this vendetta CAG has against profiteers... omg, Hoarders are also hitting that Best Buy $2 clearance so they can make $1 on each game!

[tayaf69]

I bet it wouldn't help to write to eb to complain about their "gamestop" policy of no gaurantees, would it? If they are going to be that crappy of a store, then they just lost a huge customer. WTF would I want to buy a game for if it didn't come with it's original case and manual? This is crazy.

I agree. I only bought a game from them 2 weeks ago because it was guaranteed to come complete. At least Wherehouse.com guarantees their games to ship complete.

[RacinReaver]

I dunno, maybe you just want to play it.

I wish there were actually some good used games that were $20. Still waiting on a decent sale so I can pick up Jak 3, R&C 3, and Sly 2 sometime. =/

[Roufuss]

I dunno, maybe you just want to play it.


With Gamestop's and EB's jacked up used prices, if I'm going to pay what they are asking then it damn well better come complete. Why should I pay $44.99 for a used game to come disc only, when someone else can pay $44.99 for a copy that will have everything?

They should at least discount the ones that are disc only.

[Skelah]

this is a pretend deal they have no stock so there offering nothing ...just getting some advertising cause everyones gonna talk about what a great deal there having buy 1 get one free .

They could atleast offer this in store if they cant keep stock online.

[Ecofreak]

Just picked up Burnout: Revenge (PS2) and Dark Cloud 2. Thanks, OP!

I don't care if they aren't complete, personally, as they'll have little value anyways for trade or resale.

[rywateska]

Does EB credit work with Gamestop.com?

[starman9000]

Does EB credit work with Gamestop.com?


I can't find a way how to use it. I just tried calling in, and apparently they have one person working. there are a couple of games Id pick up with this deal, but only if I could use my credit.

[rywateska]

I'm at the checkout at ebgames.com but can't find anywhere to put my store credit # in at. Where do it do that at?

*EDIT*

Apparently YOU CANNOT use a damn giftcard online until they fully integrate the system, which I find to be a major pain in the ass.

From http://www.ebgames.com/gs/sites/eb/help/GiftCards.asp :

EBgames and GameStop have merged to become a leading global retailer.

While we integrate our systems, some restrictions apply.

Gift card and gift certificate transactions on EBgames.com have been temporarily suspended while we integrate our systems.

If you have already used a gift card or online gift certificate to place a pre-order, your order will still be processed and your balance reduced.

If you would like to redeem an online-only gift certificate please contact customer service at 1-800-883-8895, before you place your order. Plastic gift cards can be redeemed at your local EBgames store.

We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to resume online gift card sales and redemptions later this year.

Still have Questions?
If you didn't find what you needed here, feel free to contact our customer service center by sending an email to help@EBgames.com or call us at 1-800-883-8895. Customer service is av
ailable 8 a.m.- 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 am- 8pm Saturday and Sunday.

Which of course, takes me out of this deal. Does anyone have an NCAA 2k6 for Xbox for trade? PM ME!

Now their site/system is as crappy as Gamestops.. :)

[videogamejunkie]

When Did Eb Change There Site?

[SaraAB]

I hate gamestop as well, i am gonna avoid shopping there as much as possible and i will buy all my new release games at god forbid walmart or target! At least i know they will be complete, NEW IN SHRINKWRAP and there is no chance of getting a bootleg.

I HATE GAMESTOP AND THEIR JACKED UP USED GAME PRICES, not to mention their games come in the worst condition ever and they still charge the jacked up full price for games.

I also agree, if everything is backordered how am i supposed to use this deal???? There are only 2 used DS games in stock right now, and 20 used GBA games in stock. I would really like to know, thanks. Also i am not paying 3$ less than full price for a game that will come as cart only and possibly could be a bootleg.

[highwaypatrolman]

they were doing this same deal last week, so i bought metal gear solid 2: substance (ps2) and skies of arcadia legends (gcn). the games showed up yesterday; mgs was just beat to hell (with stained packaging...ewww) and skies of arcadia was disc-only (not even a jewel case. they just threw it in a paper sleeve). i know the risk of buying used from gamestop.com, but this had never happened to me. needless to say, i won't be buying used games from gs.com or eb.com anymore.

[JohnnyDrama]

Damn, I guess the Edge cards don't work online anymore, right? And you can't stack coupons anymore (cag15, saver, etc.)?

[fatherofcaitlyn]

I placed a few orders during GS's last B1G1F sale.

Out of 8 games, 1 came complete.

1 more came with a case and insert art, but no instructions.

That means 75% came disc only.

Buyer beware.

[Lord Hamm]

This topic should have PO in the topic title....

[drfrielgood]

About 1/3 of my orders from Gamestop are coming complete.

[zerolens]

Just picked up Burnout: Revenge (PS2) and Dark Cloud 2. Thanks, OP!

I don't care if they aren't complete, personally, as they'll have little value anyways for trade or resale.

Gamestop gave me $7 for Dark Cloud 2 the other day (got $7.70 with 10% card).

[Havoc1701]

If this is true than they have lost another long-time customer. I try to avoid gamestop at all costs and have done most of my business for the last 5 years through EB. Only to have crappy GS assimilate and destroy the better half of the business. I can't even get their B1G1 cupon to work. Currently I have...

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land - Preowned - $19.99
Kirby's Tilt n Tumble - Preowned - $22.99

I apply the cupon and get...

This coupon will not provide a discount based on the current contents of your shopping cart. Here is the description of the coupon:

Purchase any in-stock preowned video game or DVD valued at $19.99 or more & receive a second preowned video game or DVD valued at $19.99 or less absolutely free! Only one offer per order. Only one free item per order. Offer not valid on bundled items, consoles, or accessories. No dealers or resellers, please.

You may continue checking out without a discount; to receive a discount, read the coupon description above and make the appropriate adjustment(s) to your shopping cart.
Am I missing something here?!?! Both are in stock and meet the criteria. WTF!

Don't even get me started on the complete vs. paper sleeve BS.

)-(

[Puffa469]

I picked up:

MGS2:Substance
Kingdom Hearts

and

Gallop Racer 2001
PoP: WW

I ordered from the EB site, not sure if that makes a difference, but these games damn well better come complete or they are going back and I will never buy from GS/EB online again. Im worried now that eveyrone is telling horror stories of 1 in 8 games coming complete. Does anyone know if the games come from the same warehouse? Would ordering from EB as opposed to GS give me a better chance of games coming complete?

You cant stack coupons
Edge card doesnt work

its a friggin shit show... :bomb:

[emperordahc]

I used to buy NEW games from Gamestop.com w/ free shipping and no tax.

NEVER ordered Used from them. Sorry, I like my games complete.

I personally think the days of "Game Stores Being Cool" is over. Buy a used game for only $5 cheeper than a new copy. And if you buy a NEW game instore, chances are that it's actually used and labeled as new. And the clerks think they're Gods or something. Asses all around.

Geeze, I miss Babbages.

[mackaikai]

is there any PS2 games that are worth owning but don't have much resell/trade values? i think those games would be perfect for this B1G1 deal

[Havoc1701]

Geeze, I miss Babbages.
Agreed.

I'll never forget the day I picked up a 32X + a dozen games for less than $50 there.

Ah, good times.

)-(

[SaraAB]

More like your new game is used and has been taken home and played by one of the employees, and is still marked as a new game even though it has been clearly used. Buy at a different retail store that doesnt open games like walmart or target if you can to avoid this problem.

I dont know why they would sell a used as new, it seems they would open a new and sell it as used as gamestop gets more profit from the sale of used games, they only get as much profit as any other store from the sale of new games (unless they jack up the price of a new game).

[reiji]

Is this sale done with on ebgames.com and gamestop.com? I couldn't get the coupon to work on either site.

Funny coincidence....now that the sale is over, all of the good games are suddenly back in stock. :roll: (I was looking at getting MGS2:SUB and ICO)

I hope you realized Babbages was owned by Gamestop.

[Machikunas]

Was this a short term deal? I can't get it to work at all.

[Ecofreak]

Maybe the deal is dead?

Ahem brother! :)

I know have to buy my video games from Walmart.com!!! No one should have to do that.

TRU closed.
BB is shit.
CC is shit.
Target has shit.

It's a sad day when Walmart wins.

[mackaikai]

deal is back @ gamestop.com

[emogu2]

Yeah, I can't seem to stack coupons anymore OR use my EB Edge card online. WTF is up with that?

[DuckM4n]

online only?

[emogu2]

yeah

[Machikunas]

Does this deal just randomly appear and disappear?
