The cashier told me he wrote a note in my account saying I can't cancel my RE7 pre-order because I am taking advantage of the 20% bonus. Lol okay.

LOL what a tool

 

[Liquid Metal]

Quick question:

THe tshirt trade in, is it one per trade in? If I trade in two games on the list, can I also get two shirts?

I finally got some of those $5 tiv boost coupons. Is that only for one game or does it boost each game $5?

I believe people are saying both are once per transaction.

well my store is changing its policy on the $5 trade in bonus, no physical card, no $5 bonus. They are all bastards.

Question - I've got a Pro Member Offer of buy 2 preowned items, get 1 free from renewing my PUR membership earlier this month. Do I need to print out anything or will it just work by presenting my card in store? I keep looking for a coupon or certificate on my account, but I don't see one.

It should be attached to your account. A clerk can pull it up in store or just download the app/log into the site and you will see it under your offers.

 

[c.gibbits]

How are you guys finding the 50% trade in bonus, and $5 extra trade bonus? Is there a link? 

 

[zlatour]

How are you guys finding the 50% trade in bonus, and $5 extra trade bonus? Is there a link?

Yes, here are the steps:
1. Buy a physics textbook
2. Build a time machine
3. Go back to pro day November 2016
4. Renew/begin pro membership
5. ?????????
6. Profit

 

[Z-Saber]

Couldn't find an answer, but would the 50% bonus stack with the RE7 20%?

 

[slowdive21]

The cashier told me he wrote a note in my account saying I can't cancel my RE7 pre-order because I am taking advantage of the 20% bonus. Lol okay.

My local stores said this to me a couple years ago. When I went to cancel my PS4 preorder, they manager me they will manually take away the bonus from my card. long story short eventually I got it cancelled without penalty.

I'm skimming everyone's posts and I've decided to sit out this promo, then complain about it later.

Don't believe the % boost stacks.

How many of 1 title can you trade into GS before shit gets haywire? I know it's 3 at BBY

 

[Vigilante]

4 per platform per month.

 

[frosty47]

for the Res and Switch trade bonuses. Those bonuses can only be had again if I trade at the same store I did the initial pre-order, correct?

 

[zlatour]

You'll have to start a new preorder

 

[AndyD33]

Correct. Just put any amount towards your existing preorders. (even $.01 works)

You'll have to start a new preorder

Wrong.

 

[frosty47]

I only put the minimum down on each.

 

[zlatour]

Oops I thought you meant trading them into a different store.

 

[DezSayz]

Just a heads up, if you are looking to use Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster to move Best Buy Credit to Gamestop, don't be a dope like me and get Final Fantasy Type-0 HD instead. I was moving too fast and wasn't paying attention. Luckily that was only part of my trade so I still made out fine, but would've made out a lot better without that blunder. Didn't want this to happen to anyone else so figured I'd share.  

 

[ohboy10451]

Hopefully these values hold until Monday. I was waiting until they had a better bundle for the xb1s but I think it's time to dump my OG xb1 for it

[Jacobleeslp]

Does anyone know if the Switch will be backwards compatible with wii and wii u?  I actually enjoy my Wii U and hesitant about trading it for the switch, but I will if the Switch will be BC.

This sounded like one of those old Saturday morning D.A.R.E. commercials. Don't drink / do drugs and CAG kids!

Also I haven't posted updates yet but gamestop values look the same as yesterday I will post them soon anyway since there was a small bug in my new price code that I fixed yesterday. It would put down the Download price for some of the games rather then the new price.

Only if you buy the Switch ports of WiiU games.

Good news guys, UFC 2 is on sale at Bestbuy for $24.99 ($19.99 GCU). Trades into Gamestop for $25 base. Let the flipping commence!

Not true actually , he can refund all of his pre order accept the 50$ minimum.

[hectorarizpe]

So when I press the link for eligible games for the free T-shirt it goes to my local GameStop addresses and doesn't give me the list. Anyone else having this problem?

Did another set of trade in today. Guy was nice enough to do 13 separate transaction so I can get the tshirts lol. He was basically begging me to take those shirts. He also applied the $5 bonus on two of the transaction. He figured out that he's just giving me money so he stopped after the second transaction. He basically kept adding $1 to RE7 to get the boost.

After around 25 games and $700, guess I'm done for now.

 

[Ratmonkey]

Anyone still have a scan of the 5 dollar coupon. Just left the house and forgot to grab mine

So are they just any shirt you pick out from the rack?

PO versions yield a bit more with B2G1 if you can find any combo of these 3 at your BB:

UFC 2

Siege

Primal

GS has some peculiar TIVs. Witcher 3 vanilla trades for more than the Complete and Uncharted Collection trades for slightly more than Uncharted 4.

 

[lakerfanalways]

I have a question

I want to trade in my PS4(500GB) console..yesterday I purchased online the PRO Membership, so for this console I would make 200 bucks for the Switch..thing is every Gamestop I have called no longer has the NEON one available for pre order, just the grey one..but on their site it shows this promotion goes til next Sunday..so would they still be able to honor the trade in value even if I cant pre order the console that I want? I dont want the grey one(Seems they have plenty of those available for pre order) just really want the Neon one

Looks like a lot of the games on the list were also on the Weekend Bump list.

 

[Virtua]

Today I went to a GameStop at 5pm (7 hours after they opened) and they had a flier posted saying that they had 16 Switch systems for preorder. I asked "So how quick did you sell out of your Switch preorders?" and the guy said that they still had some left... not a good sign for Nintendo :/

You need to sell out of pre orders within hours or it's a bad sign?

What you're saying is there will be no people who are interested in buying it past the very first day pre orders were available.

Nobody will buy it when Splatoon 2 comes out in summer.

Nobody will buy it when Mario kart 8 deluxe comes out in April.

Nobody will buy it when Mario Odyssey comes out in holiday.

Nobody will buy it when the next fire emblem, Pokemon, smash bros, Mario kart, shin megami tensei, retro studios game, next level games game, Mario party, Metroid, and dozens of other games are released over the next 5-6 years?

Amazing how people seem to have things so figured out over such little information!

We went over this like a page or two ago dude. Keep up

 

[Virtua]

What you're seeing is not "alarming" if anything it means the scalpers and resellers don't think it will be a worthy investment.

You never really make big profits on reselling systems at launch. The Wii was the last time that was the case. I think a lot of them tried to pull that shit with wiiu and it didn't fly.

Limited edition systems and other limited nintendo items, sure, but nintendo seems to have made plenty of switches available..

This is why they do this short stock nonsense in the first place because of this stupid mentality that if you don't sell out within minutes of pre orders being available your product is a flop.

Was battlefield 1 a flop because you could pre order one easily up to release day? Was the ps4 slim a flop because you could buy one all holiday without having to go to eBay? No, of course not.

Preowned at all my bestbuy are always a wasteland. They only have the same Madden or Call of Duty preowned games that never sell. Maybe I'll be wrong this time and I can find these in stock.

Yes any shirt.

 

[saberdragon]

I'm waiting patiently for the 50% extra trade in credit. I missed the last one by a day. I have some new games that I need to trade.
