The former Cheapy Awards Best Online Retailer champion, EBgames.com, looks to return to its glory days with the upgrade of of the combined EBgames.com/GameStop.com property. One of the many new features that has been added is the ability to use multiple coupons with certain promotions. This means a CAG favorite, 26% off used games with free shipping has now returned.

Use coupon codes CAG16, SAVER, and your Edge card to receive the discounts. Please note that you must purchase at least $25 worth of items to receive free shipping.

When EB Games was acquired by GameStop, the websites no longer listed if used games included the case and manual. This is perhaps CAGs most lamented post-merger change. Although the latest site update did not rectify this issue, it appears GameStop is well aware of the problem. I've been in touch with GameStop's Vice President, E-commerce & Direct Marketing, John Brittell, who explained:

“After the site re-launch, the used game contents guarantee is our top priority. We currently don't have a systematic way to separate the stock available for the stores from the stock available for GameStop.com. We are in the process of installing a new fulfillment system that will allow us to segregate the stock, but this will not be available until early next year. In the interim, we are exploring other creative options that will allow us to guarantee the contents of at least the top selling used SKUs and hope to have this in place later this summer. Just wanted to let you know that we share the community's concern and this is our top priority. Thanks again for passing on the feedback.”

So, it appears things are looking up for the once-favorite CAG retailer. Hopefully this site upgrade will be the start of good things to come.

Oh My God

The Good Old Days!

Way cool!

so.. CAG16 does 16% and then edge card for 10% stacked right?

uh I put it and and it was only 16% off...did I do something wrong?

anyone else having trouble registering their edge card? it keeps telling me to enter a valid edge card number...

and I know the number I'm entering is valid since I'm copying it off my receipt from GameStop earlier today (the actual number on my card has somewhat faded so I couldn't read it off it)

Is there anyway to change coupons while it's in the 'Verifying' state? I made a order just yesterday. I doubt I can cancel and still get the item.

That's what i'm worried about. I want it to be complete, but CAG on here sell it ~$30-35 w/o shipping :(

10% is the Edge card. Is it pssible to share edge codes, or does the person get charged? IDK how they work.

You can share the edge card codes, but you should just buy a sub...
After all, they are trying to get CAG's to start shopping there again, you might as well just spend the $15 for a sub, it will save you in the long run anyways.

May not include a box or instruction manual = No sale from me until that changes.

The Edge card link above is giving a 400 Bad Request - the way I got it to work was logging in to my profile and then clicking here - http://www.ebgames.com/Profiles/EdgeCard.aspx and entered it there. You need that yellow sticker on the back to have it saved to your profile and get the additional 10% off.

They must have known they were hated...

This is just an April Fools joke...
