I looked at 4 stores (Most of em were close to where I was going to be at anyway) and only one of em had gamecube stuff left. All they had were shit movie games and an NBA game. All of em lacked cases too. Whack.

Well I just drive 45 miles to a store which, according to the store locator, had fire emblem, wireless controllers, and some other sought after games. Thought I was about to hit the jackpot.. Got there and it was mostly disc only crap. Ask the clerk about the other stuff I was looking for and he was pretty rude. Oh well. Got some crap that my sisters would probably enjoy so I guess it wasn't for nothing, but still, pretty annoying.

For other people that see stores with stuff far away, do the 'in store' pickup thing. That's how i figured out that the store 45 mins away didn't really have Fire Emblem and Wind Waker, saved myself a long trip.

picked up super mario strikers for $2.50 w/ case

I've been told they don't do it anymore because it costs too much, so your answer is probably correct. One store used to get me CEs all the time, but now none of them will do a transfer in my area anymore.

i called another GS for transfer (yeah i know alot)
they had skies of arcadia and tales of symphonia now my gc collection is complete

You, my friend just hit the mother load!

Now, there have been problems before due to GS employees forgetting to do the transfer. Are u going to follow up? How is transfer done? I know they write it in a book, but does anyone know if they do it on the computer?

Damn, lucky you! I've been trying to find Tales forever. Were they disc only or actually complete?

I was so excited i forgot to ask him. they will arrive at my local gs in 4-5 days so ill just have to wait.

9/10 its probably dice only. He/she be lucky if it was complete.

I got lucky last year when i saw fire emblem complete. It almost look in mint condition. cover art, booklet looks barely used. I got it for half off ($12.50)

I cant find killer 7. A underrated, but great game

So can you tell me what u say when u call?
So u tell them to transfer to store #?
Do u provide any other info. like customer name and number?
How is the receiving store going to know that its yours?

I actually stumbled upon a CIB copy of Fire Emblem and, with this clearance, was able to pick it up for $6.XX. Fantastic deal and the disc seems to work great (no visible scratches, played well for my ~30 minute test period).

No way in hell I can get a Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes. I put a hold on them, both stores denied. I hope this isn't because of some sneaky employees.

Lets see, in addition to RE 3: Nemesis, I now got Timesplitters 2, Gun, Batman: Vengeance, From Russia With Love, and Star Wars Bounty Hunter for quite the low price.

When was the last time they restocked the gc games online? Well the good gc games.

Went to one of the stores near me and the girl said I'd have better luck just watching the website for stock. I asked if any other local stores had any in stock and she said no way because as soon as this sale started the employees and friends snatched the games up quick to put them on Craigslist and eBay.

Bought a gamecube with one control, a bad video cable, Luigi mantion and Mario Party for 10 bucks. That was a deal of the decade. I am very happy. It was not gamestop it was a local pickup.

From what I can tell, they 'restocked' yesterday, around 11am EST. Wonder what causes it to happen. Their warehouse is getting more games shipped in from their stores, maybe?

Ok first go online and look at the games you want within the 100 mile radius
2nd write the store number down with the games you want from that store.(dont be afraid to order from multiple)
3rd call your local gs and tell them to request the games for you
If you want a particular game tell the employer to ask for it at all the stores he calls.
I think they will follow up because gamestop called to tell me that the gc games are ready to ship.plus i bothered them alot lol.
