Okay morons the $10 coupons don't stack with shit besides Edge... So why do you want them so badly and why are they a incentive for you to buy a game? The only way I remotely see them being of value is for maybe a $20 game, thats 50% off (and even then its 15% off a crummy old outdated game)...

$50 game - $10 = $40

$50 game x 25DEAL = 25% = $37.50

The only thing they stack with is Edge and the stipulations for that is you're buying a used game (which may or may not include original cover art , or a manual)... And then the 25DEAL also stacks with Edge so it cancels out, anyways you morons keep giving Ebgames a reason to give out bullshit promos instead of real deals I'll be over here hoarding games and reselling for a true profit... ^_^

And theres abuncha nerds eating ravioli in there moms basement talking about $10 off coupons like its some sort of a deal...

If hoarding is his calling, then let it be.

He might do it for a living. Who knows?

Hoarders are d*cks. Can't think of a better calling than driving around the state, looking for BBs to buy up every discounted game available. Imagine the profit of flipping a poorly selling game on the internets! It's called WHOLESALE, moron. Look into it.

I cannot say I don't agree with what you just said.

But people are gonna do what people do... which is themselves. You do you.

The more copies of a game that sells at a discounted price , the more likely they'll be to have more discounts in the future so if anything hoarders actually help bring about more sales. Which i suppose is why new released games keep going lower & lower and are going away from the standard $59.99...

Very logical.

The only issue I encounter is how hoarders determine a discount is deep enough. Lets say a 59.99 retail game gets discounted for a week down to 49.99... is it worth it at that point? Or do you mean something extreme? Like a 50% drop? And then you would mark it back up to 49.99?

I guess it must be worth it... otherwise hoarders wouldn't do it.

Anything at around 5-6$ profit is considered better then the retail store get it from the distributor so yeah a $49.99 game that legitimately sells for $59.99 is a instant buy for me...

Interesting train of thought. thanks for sharing that bit.

Back on topic:
Just purchased SSFIV with a 10 code. 17.99 shipped is good for me.

I'm looking to pick up the title NEW SUPER MARIO BROS WII, if I purchase the used copy ($5 cheaper) will I still get the code?

Thanks & my bad if it's been asked before, but there's too many pages to scroll through on short notice.

People have reported getting codes with their preowned purchases.

So I sent an email about glory of heracles and my $10 coupon I used on it, and they said it did not reply as well as:

Dear Customer,

This code(s) will be valid for $10 off your next order of $20 or more (not including tax and handling) for any new/used games or accessories.

... so according to this guy I cannot use it on digital downloads, collectors items, or bundles (so no buzz bundle for me...)... has anyone else gotten this response?

Bought 3d dot heroes

WTF. Codes only good for shit above $20? They never stated any of this anywhere before.

Anyone order Glory of Heracles for 99c and receive their coupon?

I received my order, after putting a $10 coupon on it, last Saturday but have yet to receive my next $10 off coupon. I emailed customer service and received the following:

We appreciate you being patient at this time, as these coupon codes are in high demand. Due to this extremely high volume, the codes that stated they will be sent out within 1 business day of your order shipping, are taking a little bit longer to be processed and sent. Please allow 2-3 business days for this code to be received. Thank you for your patience. Best regards, Tim Customer Service Agent

2-3 days to receive a coupon isn't reasonable to me, especially since i've been waiting more than a week.

IMO whatever they say is totally reasonable. If it's 2 weeks, fine-they should just try to put up an accurate estimate if they can.

I got my code for Glory Of Hercules a few days after ordering, I think, but it was less than a week. I ordered it probably a few days earlier though, when it was $13ish.

They gave me an extra $40 worth of codes by accident

That's a canned response they gave you. If it's been a whole week, make sure to tell them that. Definitely contact them if it's not there in 2-3 days.

Just got one code for a used SSFIV I bought on Tuesday.

anyone know how long the "10%-30% Off Select Titles + $10 Coupon at GameStop.com" promo is going on?
