Was that the used copy that popped up?

I'm jealous you got a box.

Yeah, it was from about a week ago. I was worried that it wouldn't come with a slipcase, but figured I'd just return it if it didn't. Luckily, I don't have to worry about that.

Buy 2 get 2 more for $2 on used books, cds, and movies.

Use code "GOPHIL".

Valid until 02/02/13.

Not valid on graphic novels or games... basically what 90% of this thread buys.

Thanks, Hastings.

Actually, there are some graphic novels it works on, but nothing really good. It seems to be good on only half of their inventory and it looks like the slower moving stuff.

Yeah, I saw the deal go up earlier and found absolutely nothing I wanted that was part of the sale - not even some random CDs I've been looking for.

But hey, I found a copy of Apocalyptica's Plays Metallica by Four Cellos for a little over $4. It'd been OOS for a while, so that made my random visit to the site worthwhile.

Don't judge me.

Who would? Apocalyptica is awesome.

man, thats one of the worst promotions yet. Its hard enough to find 2 similarly priced items, but 4? Best case scenario its only ~25% off each item and you have to buy four things, but chances are you wind up with more like ~10-15%....

I saw the red dead redemption goty edition for 9.83, somone better nab it.

weird how the hell did this post end up here

I think the blu-ray selection is the most hilarious as 50% of everything they put up on the list were already out of stock, and not as a result from somebody else ordering them for the sale, lol. I really wish they would do some sort of an active title adding of things people can actually buy, instead of random adding titles that aren't even in stock. It seems to be a bigger and bigger issue as of late, or at least that's what I've been noticing. Before it was just really low stock, now it's just no stock.

I just got my Mafia 2 CE PS3 from them and it's the most damaged item I've ever got in shipping. I purchased it on amazon but the seller was gohastings so I don't want to make a claim since I been making too many complaints on amazon lately. Also the price I paid was really good.

Any way they didn't even ship it in a bubbler. It was just thin plastic. Even before opening it I felt something was wrong when feeling the game case through the bag and felt hollow parts. The bottom of the casing busted out and the contents were ready to fall out . The contents are mint condition new but the slip cover busted out on the bottom and need to be glued back together other wise you can't use it. It also has a bunch of cracks all along the botton side of the plastic slip cover.

The only reason I'm not going to return/exchange is it only cost $7.98 shipped.


Overall I'm happy because I got in on a clearance/glitch deal that very few people got in on. However packaging for shipping is horrible I would be very leery about ordering any kind of CE/LE from them. Unless I get a extreme deal, I will probably never order anything that isn't a vanilla version in a regular hard plastic case.

I'm literally about to go glue the slip cover back together otherwise you can't put the stuff back in without it falling out when you hold it. End of rant.

I'm debating whether or not to leave bad packaging feedback.

Amazon is super buyer friendly, especially against Marketplace Sellers who often do poor jobs or straight up scam jobs with item quality, description, and shipping. Leave bad packaging feedback and bad general feedback. Hastings has to learn - the problem with their shipping is beyond the terrible polybags.

Had a Vita game, a 360 game, and a book arrive crammed into the same poly mailer today. Pleasantly surprised to see that the only casualty was the green case.

Hopefully that's the last one of those that I'll ever see.

ordered four games from 40% off before, got only three, tracking shows it's all delivered, package has no receipt in it...

i think they just moved all the polybags to a box that says use these for amazon seriously 6 orders this week 5 polybags and the 6th game had a fake case manufactured by some pawn shop

I'm not ordering with this promo, as there isn't anything higher priced I want right now, but the discount actually approaches 50%, not 25%, as you get two items for $1 each. If you got four $20 items, for example, you'd pay $42.

So I ordered a book from Gohastings December 24th and apparently USPS lost it for over a month. I just finally got it today.

Dear lord. I wonder what shape my missing books would come in, if they ever manage to find them and send them my way.

Looks like the Dead Space 2 price isn't live just yet.

3 for $21 on used books. I would have liked another $5 for $25 but I couldn't pass up a few graphic novels they had in stock.

The B2G1 Free on new paperback books $9.99 and less appears to not be glitched (aka working properly). So no sick deals on books that I can see.

Yeah man. I got a hardcover Saga of the Swamp Thing, book five, bent in half from top to bottom. It was like $4 so I didn't complain because I didn't want to return it and I'm not concerned with its collectability.

If you want my copy of Rebirth, you can have it for the cost of shipping, though. I rolled my eyes all the way through that one =/
