20% lower, to be exact, and you can't use any promotions when trading for cash.

The 30% extra when pre-ordering select games always works. The list is kind of thin now. They need to add some more 2013 titles. http://www.gamestop.com/mrkt/landing...-trade-credit/

thanks....but i hate paying MSRP or cancelling preorder. well if i do pick up and pre-order would it hurt the sales people performance? mos of the GS people at my local stores are cool and i dont wanna screw them over if it affects them.

50% extra in-store credit when you trade any items toward the purchase of a new Sony Pulse Elite headset.

If the bonus gets you more than $5 then just never pick the game up or move it to another pre-order.

And you also get the judging looks from employees that:

1. Think you stole whatever you're trading in.
2. Trading only to get some drug money.

I wish I could take a 20% cut on this ~$500 in GS credit I have now. Come to think of it, I can. But won't of course.

To those of u that got Wii U, is it awesome?

It's very fun so far. I have Nintendo Land (haven't opened yet), ZombiU (great game, use of gamepad) and NSMBU (solid platformer, what you'd expect).

The Gamepad is a great controller, and I was very skeptical of it before I got my hands on it. Also, MiiVerse is awesome.

Yeah. GS is a ripoff, but easy to unload stuff u dont play anymore. People here get hype up on building credit, but they dont remind that most games cost more used or new vs other retailers like amazon, best buy, etc when they have sales. GS is good when they do sales or if u looking for something that is old and wanting to avoid ebay.

Remember, cash is king

The best way to use Gamestop credit is on a new product you were going to buy new at release anyway, however often that is. I saved up credit and bought a deluxe Wii U and 2 games new...saved probably $45 in tax by using all credit. Going to try to save the $750 I have left for NextBox when it comes out, hopefully next year.

And yes, everything I bought new has been sealed.
