Ooo... Thanks for the tip! Someone mentioned a game, yesterday, that they say they saw at TRU. I checked eBay and it goes for $120-$190!

I have found some gems in TRU before.

Looks like I'll be on the hunt for 2 games!

Oh well, I might just hang on to it.

Last sale like this(a few months ago), I traded in a brand new copy of Sly I got from Sears that I paid $6.50 for. Got $26 or $27 for it, I think.

Someone on here was saying something about it may not be easy to find later and something about it being out of print.

so how are people price matching kmart's 9.99 price of portal 2? it isn't in the ad and is not online (that i have seen).

When you go to BB, have them go into the local ad of Kmart's site on their computer. However, all I am getting to show up on my HP Touchpad is the Xbox version.

Just under the image of the xbox version in the ad it lists that the shown game prices are also good for PS3. If you view the HTML version of the actual ad you can click a link to print the page...

Thanks for the tips!

The PS3 copies of Portal 2 are the ones that come with the Steam copy too right?

As I don't trade games into Gamestop I have another noob questions.

Is your purchase/trade history universally available at any Gamestop location? Or can their computer see your purchase/trade history for any store at any time?

If your asking this because of the per trade limit at the store, yes they can see what you traded in but if you want to cover your ass just have your receipts with you. I don't think they check what you previously traded in but it may throw some redflags further up the ladder but nothing to really worry about.

No I mean I have a used and new (sealed) copy of Portal 2 along with RDR GOTY because of having previously owned it and buying it during black Friday.

To avoid complications I'd rather not trade all four games (two duplicates) in at the same time. But I have two gamestop stores right next door to each other (about a block away).

I'd rather trade two in at one store and two at the other but not if at the second store they're going to see that 10 minutes earlier I had just traded the same games in.

This also gives me an opportunity to see if either store has any clearance CE's

Are these deals good only for Pro members or for all PowerUp Members?

GameStop is not losing money and the stores that are closing are underperformers. Actually GameStop is opening "GameStop Kids" stores around the country. You have a very narrow minded view of how competition is good for everyone.

You can try Target and BB. I think Target requires a physical ad? Although they've been trying to pump up their new price match policy so I'm not sure if that means they'll look up the kmart circular ad online for you or not.

Has anybody PM'd to Target without a physical ad before?

Also, I assume trading in 3 games or more on the PUR list doesn't automatically trigger the 3/$10 promo now.

I always figured that Gamestop was pulling a "Lowe's tactic" where they would set up shops everywhere in an attempt to close down competition (i.e. Ma and Pa stores) and once they had a firm hold of the market they would close down some of the stores that weren't necessary like those that didn't perform well or were in very close proximity to one another.

I hate gamestop as much as the next person but they are very good at getting people to overpay for games
