I was at my local Gamestop today and noticed that besides points cards they started carrying certain DLC and Arcade game codes for the 360 as well.

The code card is $9.99 plus tax in the store and is also available on the website.

Save around $4 and change compared to paying $15 on the marketplace.

Fat Princess (PS3) is $7.49 as well. It's $14.99 on PSN.

Bravo, Gamestop. You've found a cruel way to sink those hooks into the digital world. :/

whew! finally reports of sales on these cards, figure GS would always leave them at MSRP..

This game was a lot of fun, but cost me $65 after the first ever controller I've broken :(

Still waiting on the special edition PC version.

I feel your pain. I got 100% and didn't smash my controller once. They cost too much $$$$ these days.

Awesome! Give Microsoft some competition at their own game, they definitely need it.

Do our coupon codes work for this type of thing or does it have to be a disc based game?

They could sell those games for $5 and I still wouldn't buy it from those bastards.

Great to hear that they are discounting these some times. Is that GS's standard price, or is it a sale? I'm not interested in this particular game, but it will make me take notice of their other download game cards.

I stopped shopping there a long time ago. Its always a mess there. People leaving their kids to play the demo games so they can go shopping. The clerks there always trying to upsell me on edge card, reserve a game, or some bull crap. Once I purchased a NEW last copy, and the box was 'opened' because they had to use the box on the shelf. There was a saved game on Cooking Mama. 3/4 of the way in. WTF.

Now try taking back an open game and see if you don't get the giant you middle finger. Gamestop has become irrelevant in my book thanks to Amazon, Newegg and now Walmart.com

I haven't been to a Gamestop in over 2 years.

Yup. I only buy games from Walmart and especially Amazon. I occasionally buy from Best Buy though

The printed price on the card was $9.99. Some other cards I saw were the same price as they are on the market place, some items seemed like they may have been a little bit more than what they cost, most of it was the same price as it would be one the XBL Dashboard.

The only reason this jumped out was because I knew it was $15 over Live.

Looks like it's also online http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/Prod...oduct_id=87959

I'm tempted to get this. Even though I bought it on steam for next to nothing, I'm debating getting this for the POINTS MAN, THE POINTS.

Just tried the coupon code. It's yet another thing that doesn't work due to the invisible terms of the coupon that GS deemed to tack on. What the hell.

Your cookie is in the mail.

I haven't shopped at Gamestop B&M or online about a year or two, but what happened to the website? It looks so cluttered now, it scares me.

I couldn't care less about shopping at GS. I rarely do shop there, but if they have the best deals, then I'll go. Usually amazon does, that's why I do 95% of my entertainment shopping with them. But I'll go with who has the best price, because they want my business.

But if everyone is on a level playing field, I'll usually do amazon or Best Buy, just because they're usually the best on prices nearest to me.

GS might do some things people don't like, but at the end of the day, they are a business. What do you expect when you have game systems set up? Some parents use an Xbox as a babysitter at home, why would they not use a free one at the mall? And those employees know that you probably won't buy a Power Up card, but they have to ask. I'm sure they all love being shot down and making people think they're trying to force something on them day in and day out.
