GameStop Game Days Sale
Online only: Use coupon code GD10 for an extra 10% off

(3/26-4/25)
Sale is for NEW GAMES/ACCESSORIES ONLY
Begins Friday March 26th and Ends April 25th


Please visit http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/gamedays10/
for the most up to date and accurate list, although if you are visiting before 3/26/10 the sale prices may not be updated yet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS[hiddenlist]
Q. Why is Saw (360/PS3) $24.99 and not $19.99 like originally posted?
A. It seems the price was read wrong at first, or just assumed to be $19.99, as the accurate and final list has it listed for $24.99. The game is still garbage in my opinion, but is an easy 1000 Achievement Points / Platinum Trophy. I recommend renting it, or waiting for a lower price.

Q. WHERE IS THE 10% Game Day Sale Coupon????
A. The past few Game Day sales did have a 10% coupon inside the Game Informer magazines, However the current Game Informer (Portal 2 on the cover) that has the Game Day sale advertised DOES NOT have the coupon. No official word if a coupon will be given or exist at this time. Just keep checking the thread for updates from fellow CAGS. Perhaps it will be distributed in the next Game Informer (in April) or with the Weekly Coupon in the GameStop E-mails.

Q. Will the games be gutted? if so how do I get a SEALED copy?
A. Yes, stores always gut their games to put into the sale bin. YMMV on whether the store guts every copy, or just one of each copy of the game. Best advice, is to get their early on the first day in hopes they did not get around to getting all the copies yet. Some stores in my area seem to hate gutting multiple copies, and generally just gut one copy in general as a standard. Once again YMMV.

It's GameStop expect gutted copies, if anything try to price match with BestBuy since the prices will be posted online here: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/gamedays10/

Q. Why does GameStop GUT their games?
A. I assume it is obviously to prevent theft since they are a small retail store (space wise), and not like BestBuy. It is not cost effective for a company that operates in small locations to use security detectors (more cost), so the GUT method works for them. Just politely ask for a sealed copy if they have it, or just say no thanks. Please don't complain in the threads. Shit gets old. I hate gutted copies just like the next guy, but it is nothing new, just move on.

Q. Are the games on sale NEW or USED?
A. All games/accessories on sale are NEW. If a Buy 2 Get 1 Free does occur during the Game Day sale then that will be for USED games only.

Q. Will the USED prices drop because the NEW ones are on sale?
A. Depends, typically when a NEW game is on a temporarily price drop, the USED copy will stay at its current price. So Assassins Creed 2 which is on sale for $29.99 NEW during the sale, may still have a USED price of $54.99. However, there are times when they will drop the USED price as well to reflect the NEW price drop.

Q.
Where is the Buy 2 Get 1 Free on Used Games?
A. As far as I recall, GameStop usually holds a B2G1 Free at the beginning and/or end of the Game Days sale. I just got this list from fellow CAGs Driftninja & arcurifisher, and just organized it. Although the other threads have not 100% confirmed it as of 3/25/10, I think it is pretty safe to say there will be a B2G1 sometime during this Game Day sale. Check back for updates.

Q. These games on sale are horrible, any chance of better games being added?
A. Yes, I agree a good portion of the games are horrible, I mean "My Baby First Steps" seriously?. GameStop is known to add / remove games during the Game Day sales, so yes some new titles could be added, but don't expect it to be anything great, but you never know, maybe this year...

Q. Why were there so many threads on this sale?
A. Not sure why since I didn't make them, but don't flame the thread creators because it is just people trying to contribute to the CAG community. Just be polite please, and hopefully we will have a single thread to follow during the sale.[/hiddenlist]

Heart attack is an understatement. That thing will kill your ass in a heartbeat.
 
Got my L4D2 and Indigo Prophecy in the mail today. Perfect condition other than the 3 different spots on IP's cover art that had stickers. I'm not sure why they didn't just sticker the case.
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']You should've checked your local Kmarts for Last Remnant, since it's only $4.97 there.:D The one Kmart by me has around 7-9 copies of Last Remnant in stock.
[/QUOTE]

I called the two K-Marts that were within a reasonable distance and neither said they had any copies. They could have been lying who knows but my K-Marts are pretty pathetic.

As long as it's not that far of a drive, I'd say to just go there and sift through their case a bit, since my closest Kmart store has 2-3 rows of PS3, 360 and Wii games in each case just about.

So maybe they just looked at the front row and they're buried in the back. It never hurts to go there and look yourself.:)
 
I just got my order today... almost all new/sealed, except one - and it's used, very used. The disc and manual are in rough shape, and the case is all stickered up.

So... time to see how well the return to store policy works.

plz post your experience if your returning games from online purchases to store. i have hear alot of mixed things.

im still holding out for a bigger % off, but im stoked that the used prices finally fell with almost everything :D.
 
Should never be a problem returning something from the website in a store. It would go against their company policy. If anything happens, call customer service and let them know of your experience aka. throw a bitch fit.
 
Got Fallout 3 today, gutted, but everything was brand new. I forgot to ask for a sealed copy, since the other two games I got (Blazblue and COD: World At War) were sealed, but there are no scratches or anything, so it's all good.
 
fyi guys, when i was in store today the manager commented to me that they received a large shipment of darksiders today, which may be telling of a future promotion
 
Got a brand new Alone in the Dark and COD4 GOTY. COD was gutted and the last one in stock. Being in a rush I didn't check the cd. Of course it happened to have some minor scratch marks, but still plays. I feel dirty buying a "new" cd which definately doesn't look new. My fault for not taking the 5 seconds to check up on it though.
 
[quote name='gospelman']fyi guys, when i was in store today the manager commented to me that they received a large shipment of darksiders today, which may be telling of a future promotion[/QUOTE]

this is one of the games I was hoping would be in the sale. would be awesome if they added it late or something, thnx for the info
 
My order got delivered!

Not only did I get Blazblue and Prototype for $16 each (after the 20% off xbox glitch, which is now dead), but the games arrived SEALED!

Screw you, Gamestop B&M!
 
it's possible, all depends on the demand. Last year's games were of generally lower quality, and they didn't have daily deals to also encourage buyers.
It's a gamble, and if they drop prices again or have a great daily deal, people will jump on it fast.
 
[quote name='Tazzer88']Front page daily deal says $20 off orders of $75 or more, but when i enter the code i only get $10 off.[/QUOTE]

Read the offer details -- it says "Save $10 instantly, and receive a coupon for $10 off your next order". Not sure how they equated that to $20 off on this order, but then, it's the same sort of logic that people often use here with gift card offers so it'll probably work for them.

IT'S A TRAP


no, its 10 instantly then $10 off next purchase over $59.99
 
[quote name='An J0e']IT'S A TRAP


no, its 10 instantly then $10 off next purchase over $59.99[/QUOTE]

Which, actually, kind of is a trap -- they're relying on the fact that you'll think of it as "$20 off on a $75 order" (as it states on their front page), and then later on when you use that credit you'll also think of it as "$10 off a $59.99 order" even though you already mentally wrote that credit off of the previous order. Like I said, we see that logical fallacy here often, they're just blatantly taking advantage of it.

Like I said, we see that logical fallacy here often, they're just blatantly taking advantage of it.[/QUOTE]
The real punchline being that $20 off $75, if everything were retail, still wouldn't be a particularly excellent deal.
 
[quote name='ghostmedicine']Thanks for the heads-up, in for one. This, quite thankfully, also saves me from B&M'ing it. I'm somewhat tempted to throw something else from the sale into my cart that I'm mildly interested in (i.e. Bayonetta, FFT A2, Fallout 3, Cursed Mountain [OOS online]), but may just hold off due to backlog, etc.[/QUOTE]
Received a factory-sealed Persona 4 today. Somewhat satisfied with Gamestop, for a change. Hmmph.

I'm sure it has been discussed, but I do not feel like sifting through close to 70 pages for the answer, but if you order new gameday games off the website, do they come sealed? Thanks and sorry again if this is a repeat.

yes they come sealed but there are some rare cases that they come gutted.
 
[quote name='Tsukento']Yeah, that's the BIGGEST issue with the whole gutting thing. Deals like this come up and end up screwing you out of a possible refund. Hopefully with Game Days games, they allow a refund since most of the games are gutted.[/QUOTE]

I posted before about planning to return my gutted Persona 4 but didn't realize they're supposed to seal it to consider it unopened (the GS employee didn't, of course). I really hope there won't be an issue with a return. At least there's another GameStop 2 blocks from where I bought it, so I have an easy second chance if I get shot down at the original store.
 
Well, typically I'd just chime in to make a snide comment about Gamestop, but this time I actually have a question (sort of off-topic, but it's close enough): Anybody know when the b&m stores update their stock status online?
 
In store purchase with EDGE credit - AC2, Sacred 2, COD4 GOTY = $70. (all new)
Can't find COD4 GOTY edition used online. So, I should take back the other two, and get, with EDGE and CAG16:
AC2, Sacred 2, and either Prototype or Fable II used online for about $48. No extra money out of my pocket but I get an extra game. Sweet. That's what I get for not looking before buying.

It varies by store, from my experience. My local one will outright lie (it lists all sorts of original Xbox games and when those haven't been sold there in years, also listing Valkyria Chronicles sometimes when they don't have it), but I bought the last LoZ: Collector's Edition there awhile back, and less than an hour later it was no longer listed.

It depends, the server for it must be strange.
 
Price-matched some Game Days prices at Best Buy tonight since I had a gift card with almost $70 left on it from Christmas. I ended up buying :360: Assassins Creed II, :ps3: Sacred 2, and :br: Iron Man. Total was initially $130, but after matching Gamestop for the games and Target for the blu-ray, the total came up to $66 and some change. Manager was surprised at how much money I managed to save, and insisted on checking the prices online himself after the customer service rep already had checked. :)

just in-case anyone didn't know, the 10% is pretty useless now. If you buy a new game use 15new for 15% off, and if you buy a used game use cag16 for 16% off.

so... there ya go.

thanks! :D
 
Most GS have the red Game Days sale sticker on them correct? Since they sold it as gutted, the sticker is on the case not the wrap that would be there if it were "new". So they should have no problem accepting the return since that's how they sold it to you.

Going to return Bayonetta new I bought in store since I got it $10 cheaper online.
 
Trying to decide if I should get one of the :wii: House of the Dead games... Does anyone know if the Overkill one is the one to get or are both games worth picking up at this price?

Do they work with the Wii Zapper and if so, do you have to use the forward trigger or is there a control scheme that uses the back trigger?

The one in Greenbrier. The employees were really nice about it, manager even said he was going to have to get ACII at that price.

Their system is supposed to update at 8am EST (hence why it says "in stock as of 8AM EST" on the stock status ;)). But yeah, as someone already said, their stock tracker is not always, um, entirely accurate. I've gone to GameStop looking for a title listed as "in-stock" on line several times now where they haven't had it, and the employee has looked in their computer and said that they in fact hadn't had it for months. Some of those stores were still listing that title as in-stock for weeks or months after that, even. That was for rarer titles, though -- for the GameDays titles, it's probably more likely to be accurate (if for no other reason than they're getting more stock of those).
 
Does the CoD 4 GOTY suppose to come with any codes of some sort? I don't want to buy a gutted version that doesn't come with the stuff it's suppose to.
