This really pisses me off. Whoever came up with the system that punishes the clerk for making the customer happy ought to be slapped. What is the point of making 14 trades at once vs. 7 in 2 seperate transactions have any sort of "numbers" meaning? It just sounds like one of those stupid things someone in a suit came up with.

I guess it is preorders per transaction or some such nonsense. Idiotic...

I did get somewhat hosed by a clerk the other day but it was an accident. Of course I still had like 41 days left on my PUR so I didn't want to renew it yet - mostly because I don't want the B2G1 coupon until the last possible minute since they don't last that long (as discussed earlier). But the guy apparently hit 'yes' when I said 'no'. They were going to undo it but apparently that required redoing the entire transaction and it took long enough for him to get through the 7 games and I didn't have any more time. So I just said to forget it and do the renewal. I was slightly annoyed only because of the coupon. Though even then I didn't know it was just like 2 months. I would have definitely waited till June to get it if I knew that.

It was also my intention to "reward" one of the better clerks with my PUR renewal. Now I ended up giving it to some incompetant newbie dufus who I've never seen before. So that kind of sucks too .

its odd. cooperate policies rarely reflect what customers want. i never quite understand how this is the case so often. when i worked at a grocery store when our district managers came by we have to follow cooperate policy this almost always meant we did our job slower. or had to waste time cleaning even though cleaning did nothing really. we had a similar thing. they hated us using our store MVP(discount card) and tracked everytime the store one was used.

they then started after we got around that tracking the throwaway cards(ones customers should use to sign up for we would trash after one use) so eventually it often times turned into bug the customers in line and see which one had an MVP card because you know this was worth all the effort they put into tracking it not finding out why sales kept going down and down and now that store is out of business. probably cause they got a store manager that followed company policy to the letter.

and i didnt know those coupons expired. good to know for when i do renew. i think my pur expires in june or july.

Managed to find a handful of gamecube/wii games I didnt even know I had. Most of the discs have light scratches on them and the listing on the 1st page isnt up to date obviously on the gamecube titles so itll be a long shot but hopefully I can get some use out of them. I shall test the waters tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure Gamestop doesn't take Gamecube games anymore. They're actually trying to clear out existing store inventory as it is.

Gamestop stopped taking Gamecube games on April 1st, so yeah those won't do you any good unfortunately.

Will the 7/$35 trade stack with the 30% bonus toward Max Payne?

Usually the system only allows one promo offer at a time. So depending on what games you trade in, you'll either get the 7/$35 or the 30% if that 30% is greater than $35.

If you trade in 7 games (w/ tiv above $2), the total would have to be higher than $116 to trigger the 30% instead of the 7/35 promo. If you're a PUR Pro member, would have to higher than ~$87.5.

Why would it matter if you are a PUR Pro member? You get the extra 10% either way.

Bully Scholarship Edition (360) -- 11
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) -- 6
Wii Sports Resorts (Xbox 720) -- 15

After bonuses and the pur 10% bonus I got 134.94. I didn't expect this much and was surprised to see the value on some games. My mind was blown at how cool the staff was at the Gamestop I went to, the ones in my area have had some pretty shitty employees and that's the reason I haven't gone to one in years.

Question: I signed up for pur pro or whatever it's called in the same transaction as the trade ins, will everything still count towards points/contest? I'm just wondering because of the whole activate online thing.

Had an issue w/ my 7 trades last night. Guy wouldn't let me trade in my 3 copies of Madden 12, even though they were 1 per system. He said he would get in trouble if he let me trade all of them, so he could only do 2 of the 3. I said forget it and went to a different store. 2nd store gave me no problems trading in all 3.

Im surprised they didnt give you more for Wii Sports Resorts (Xbox 720), seems like a rare game that you could have gotten more on ebay.

360 Homefront is $1.75, so I think the $2 value posted yesterday must be PS3?

PS2 Kingdom Hearts 2 $6
PS2 Mega Man X Collection $4
