I can't remember the last time I was in a Gamestop that wasn't crowded. I think they're doing just fine.

Granted, the state of the economy is probably a big reason for all these sales, but I don't think they're in any trouble.

This may not be exclusive to IL. I dropped by my gamestop in Statesboro, GA and they had the huge deal sign up which is the one they have put up during other b2g1 deals. I'm going to drop in when they open at 1 pm and see if it is indeed going on.

edit- just got back from the store and they were not doing the B2G1

i just got back from my gamestop in Ewing, NJ. Picked up a couple of games

The store in Hanover Park (Barrington & Irving Park roads) wasn't doing it when I was there yesterday.

yah, thats exactly how you gauge their performance.

no B2G1 free deal at the Gamestop in Santee, CA.

Guys I posted about this on Friday afternoon in the Gamestop weekly coupon section but I was reluctant to make a thread for it. I was told that it was for GS which are located in "competitive markets" -- meaning very close to gamecrazy. I got a bit of flack for even mentioning it though.

That would be why the Palatine, IL store is having it because there is a Gamecrazy a couple doors down.

I would rather use the coupon for this week. I drive myself crazy trying to match 3 games of the exact price. This coupon is perfect cause you can have a 35 and 18 dollar game

I'm the same. To take advantage of B2G1 one should always get games at the same price range. How many times have seen in threads someone gets two $50 games and their "free" game is a $25 one? This coupon would serve that purpose much better.

25% coupon and edge card is better than b2g1.

It all depends on what you are buying. I think this has been discussed at length in every single Gamestop thread, so your comment is quite silly.

i'm not 100% sure, but i believe you just burned yourself.

How so? If you do the math, B2G1 + Edge is 40% off max, and that's only if you all 3 games you buy are the same price.

The current coupon gets you 35% off, no matter the price points of your games.

that gamecrazy seems to never have a single game I wanna buy.

I have 5 GS around me and 1 GC, so definitely not a "competitive" enough market for them to just drop B2G1 without it being nationwide. All the stores around me doing just fine though, always packed, so I doubt theyll ever have to do random B2G1.

Is this still going on?

Just called my local GS and they said they were doing B2G1 on original Xbox games. Buh??
