Some games actually a get base so there is no bonus in play but others get a lower base (usually $25) and they had a $5 promo to make it $30.

All of them are $25 now because of the 50% bonus.

Some were $25 even at launch. Assassin's creed was always $25.

 

[andrewgray]

is the 50% bonus currently live?

Depends.

Anyone know the TIV of Rise of The Tomb Raider?  Can't seem to find it on the site

 

[DealSeeker2U]

this is weird can't find rise of the tomb raider in either web or android app, but when i check for used copies of the game I see one store near me has one...

I called today and was told $25.

^ Few posts up bud. Base is $25.

 

[Virtua]

My wife's iphone died, won't power on at all.

stupid gamestop only offers $5 lol

 

[acthechamp]

What is this $5 promo you folks are talking about? 

 

[Bombarded]

$40 for ac syndicate? I might have to trade it at gamestop but I have to think of what good s*** I should get from there on black friday

 

[Brewc5368]

Anyone have the PUR Pro $50 off an Xbox one console that's not going to use it, would be much appreciated

 

[AndyD33]

That's a promotion, the system will select whichever one is better. Base is $25.

$30 Credit: $25+$5 PROMO+2.50 PUR=$32.50

50%: $25*1.5+2.5 PUR=$40

Not always. Remember Arkham Knight.

 

[Deader2818]

Not always. Remember Arkham Knight.

We just had this discussion. Arkham Knight wasnt getting the guarantee promo bump. There was a different promo running that when you bought something you get $5 extra for trading in Arkham Knight so thats why it was trading in for so high.

 

[Geco17]

Not always. Remember Arkham Knight.

There's a reason for that. They kept base at $35. They are keeping base at $25 now with a $5 bonus. It's to ensure the AK situation doesn't happen again I assume.

 

[mrbutler14]

With Arkham knight I got an additional $10 bonus on top of the 50% boost when trade value was $30. Then when they raised the base later in the week to $35 i only got an additional $5. What do 30+$10 and $35+$5 both add up to? It required a purchase to glitch the system and get both bonuses to trigger but the second promo was for the guaranteed $40. Still have all the receipts. Same promo code both times, different bonus value due to a change in base value.

 

[temp4596821]

$30 Credit: $25+$5 PROMO+2.50 PUR=$32.50
 
50%: $25*1.5+2.5 PUR=$40

So I can't get $45 for halo 5 you're saying? that sucks I really want to trade it in for ROTTR

 

[joeyshadows]

This might be a dumb question, but has anyone traded in a non working ps4 recently and if so was the refurb fee still $120? I think my ps4 just shit the bed.

 

[ironmenpb]

So where is everyone getting this 50% promo from? Is it certain stores?

 

[PokeChaos480]

Starts tomorrow.

 

[Ketsui]

Why isnt there an ad for the 50%?

 

[PokeChaos480]

It's in the Gamestop pre-black Friday ad thread.

[ORANGE ALERT]

Looking forward to this. Gotta stock up on Amazon credit for Christmas shopping! 

 

[finstersucks]

is there a limit on controller/accessory trade in on one transaction?

 

[Trenchalicious]

I once traded in 4 xbox 360 controllers at once. I don't know if you get banned at 5 for controllers or not.

Almost certainly.

Every time I go to GS, I get mind boggled of how people just throw money away on new games. Dude hands over cash to pay for his new $64.19 title. Are people really that unaware of sales, price matches, pre-order discounts (BB GCU), and Black Friday sales? Geez, it's ridiculous.

It would seem so, Watched a guy buy his son a PS4, Dualshock 4, Ps Plus and Batman: AK. Full price out the door.

They're the same people that even if you tell them about a deal they act annoyed. Some people hate money I guess. I only help people I know will appreciate it, otherwise I sound like a crazy person.

If you ever watch Twitch you will see them talk about whether or not the game is worth it. And they always talk about $60. Never about getting it cheaper. I think most people pay msrp for new titles. It's insanity.

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

Those people who pay full price are the RichAssGamers

 

[bengi15]

if they make $30+ per hour, i dont think they will care much about the cost.

 

[amusedtoe]

Casuals who buy a couple games a year, parents, etc. value their time over the potential savings.  I mean really, who would wish our lifestyle on anyone?

 

[irishsoccermbw]

People that make $30+ an hour care about savings too bruv.

Exactly... Not everyone has time to check sales and deals everyday... Its almost a hobby within itself.

 

[ironmenpb]

Do you guys think the prices are going to drop a lot tomorrow. I want to trade in syndicate and fallout. But of course I want most amount possible.

I know I'm not the only one who spends more time on CAG than gaming most weeks...

I care a shit ton about cost of everything.

It's worth paying extra for the Gamestop experience. They're even nice enough to open the new games for you so you don't have to go through the hassle. Plus they offer free services like telling you how much money you've saved in the past year with PUR Pro and how much credit you have left on your card (very loudly so every customer can hear, which makes you look rich). And I can't leave without buying a game warranty or pre-ordering a new game because the cashier convinces me every time.

My GameStop employees personally test their new games to make sure they work. That alone is worth it to me.

 

[amusedtoe]

I only buy the $55 used games at GS.

 

[PokeChaos480]

I ask for the gutted new copies that employees have played. That way I know it works and someone else broke it in for me.

Stop being cheap and buy the better $56.99 used games like Black Ops III.

Lightweight.

 

[PokeChaos480]

Damn it's out of stock. Sucks.

 

[Donut2922]

lol I've been enjoying the thread responses today. Best thread of the day so far.

As for the MSRP stuff, a lot of people are content with the convenience of shopping at a place like Gamestop. My aunt knows all about my gaming and deal hunting here and she still went out to pay full price for a Wii game for my cousin at Target without bothering to ask me first.

 

[Hoping]

Searched through the thread and the last reply was on the 8th regarding the eBay gift cards. Are you still able to purchase eBay gift cards with gamestop gift cards?

 

[PokeChaos480]

Yes.

 

[Thatguy1513]

i should have know better then to try and compete with Rozz.

My wife does the same shit, I tell her all the time not to buy me games or electronics because I can always get them cheaper. What does she do? Gets me XBL/PSN codes!

 

[coolrust]

i dont know why you complaining so much, at least your wife is full support on your gaming. its better to have a wife who buy you full retail games than to a wife who complain a lot if you buy a cheap games!
