I don't see GoW III Remastered on the app or system, do they take it for trade? I know they remove them sometimes when the game is on sale but it doesn't seem to be the case

You can take it in, I did yesterday for the "$20 bump w/ 4 current gen games" promo (where the current gen was called next gen and didn't include Wii U).

 

[ElMexiMerican]

I think one of my trade values I had looked up had changed too, luckily it was like a 50 cent difference lmao.

Do you remember the base TIV?

 

[krishna_malladi]

$10, I think. I got $16.00 after $5 bump ( 4 games got $5 each) so 11.00 after pur, i think. I gotta pay attention to the receipt, dammit.

 

[Marbles]

I heard something about a 50% bonus coming up next week?
Any proof?

 

[ariel.rosales3]

Sometimes we just have to believe.

 

[jkircos]

Is the slim xbox 360 AC adapter still $24?  Or did it officially drop in store as well?

 

[GamerDude316]

I bit the bullet and traded in 12 games tonight for $176 after coupon...just a feeling that the coupon will end up not stacking with the 50%.

 

[chnandler_bong]

Would it be possible to use the $20 bonus coupon with a non-Pro account?  I have one of each (Pro and non-Pro) but the Pro account has reached its limit (apparently).

 

[mcdonough88]

I've got a question:
If I buy another PUR pro DO I GET the 4x20 coupon instantly?

 

[JSingh]

I live in the burbs where Gametops and Redboxes are abundant. Also I am a Pro PUR member, which made this possible.

I hit 4 Reboxes, 3 were successes:

Sniper Elite III (PS4) 

State of Decay (XB1) x2

Resident Evil Revelations (XB1)

I also went to Best Buy and bought one games:

Batman Arkham Knight (XB1)

In total (after tax) I spent $49.60 on games.

I traded in the 4 unique games with the +$20 dollar coupon. And at a separate Gamestop traded my second copy of State of Decay.

Total credit received : $93.10

Net value gained was $43.50

I live in California so tax is decently high, I think 8%. States with lower state tax have greater potential gains.

Took me about 2 hours to do, which kind of tell you how abundant these Redboxes are around here. 

**Every game on the list from Redbox is a GS flip**

Thanks for the tip, completely forgot about that. If the road wasn't covered in ice right now, I'd go for it.

 

[JSingh]

Snow.... Man's first and eternal enemy.

Minecraft is also a flip from Redbox, but much harder to find.

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

I've got a question:

Yes, it will even print on your receipt. Hope that helps

 

[Marbles]

Wait the 4x20 is a coupon?

Also once again, where did the info about the 50% bonus come from, and when does it start?

 

[mcdonough88]

I can't reset my password on GS.com, have I been banned or something?

 

[matrix9280]

Conjecture. Otherwise known as some guy said so.

When does it supposedly start?

 

[ariel.rosales3]

Supposedly, 1/25 - 1/31.

 

[matrix9280]

For what it's worth Gamestop has been doing their usual bait and switch with dropping the values of games. That usually does happen when a bonus of that nature is near.

Yep, I've noticed....

.... god I must be exhausted.. I thought your icon was a face/mustache and glasses... not curious George.

 

[Dranakin]

It's been awhile since I've participated in GS trade-in promotions, so my question: if the 50% bonus is in effect next week, when you look up TIVs on the website, will the values reflect the the bonus? I'm more familiar with looking up BB TIVs during a promotion, as you have to calculate the bonus with the value presented on their website.

 

[Capocci 007]

I'm sure this has been asked but I went 6 pages back and didn't see mention of it... but is it a $20 bonus for every 4 games meaning if I trade in 12 games I'll get an extra $60??? If so I'll certainly renew my PUR to get the coupon

Yes. The coupon only applies to one transaction, so you have to trade them in all at once.

 

[Capocci 007]

Perfect. I'll definitely re-up but wait until Monday... I can't see the 50% values NOT stacking with it especially if you don't have to do anything (use a coupon etc) to apply the 50%

 

[Bobby's World]

Dang several titles dropped (Black Ops 3, Battlefront, WWE 2K16) smh

 

[AndyD33]

Probably because the 50% started today for employees.

 

[Dmanthegamer]

Mario kart ds and Wii, and Wii sports went up

 

[jeffcrazy]

what great timing, I just used up the last of my credit on some clearance junk (kylo ren lunchbox for $3, OK, sure!)

 

[JP]

Okay with John making some changes to the site after the hack I've re-enabled the Wiki function on the first post, want to see if that holds this time around.

 

[srocky26]

Also once again, where did the info about the 50% bonus come from, and when does it start?

Maybe 100 posts back. He's been quite reliable in the past and works at GS.

Been a while since I provided some updates for you guys.

Upcoming 50% trade promo starts 1/25. Good until 1/31.
All games and accessories qualify. Should auto-promo, no purchase necessary.

 

[tearsintherain]

remember that first day of last summers 50% when TIVs didn't drop and a ton of games traded in for $60?  good times

i'll probably sit this one out, i have only one physical game (rocksmith) and building up more credit at gamestop doesn't feel like a necessary thing to do

 

[Bobby's World]

Do you think some values will rebound?
I'm still planning on going Monday to at least trade in some Dualshocks.

[YellowGameboyColor]

Even with drops $35.20 isn't that bad right? Especially with the $20 coupon

 

[Donut2922]

The current promotion should bump them up to $30 until tomorrow at the least. Is the 50% going to be better or worse?

 

[Marbles]

You can always presave trade values, but not every store will honor them

 

[Bobby's World]

Well if values don't drop further it looks like Black Ops around $35, Battlefront $32, WWE 2k16 around $28. I'll just wait if it gets worse I'm crossing my fingers for a 50% bump @ BB it's overdue

 

[The Punisher]

RIP $72 Pikmin

notice some preowned games increased in price

 

[Marbles]

I'm seriously debating selling my complete AC collection, even though I've not played a game in the series since Revelations.
The franchise fatigue is strong...

For $10 might as well keep them all.

 

[Marbles]

The newer ones go for $20 a game or more (PS4) then you add the cpupon

 

[Dmanthegamer]

How many power up points do you get for Star Wars DLC and 1 year PS plus?

 

[chnandler_bong]

I have yet to see a saved trade value be honored.

 

[Deader2818]

With coupon black flag and unity are $9.40 each. Syndicate would be 31.80. Then you need a 4th ps4 game. How are you seeing $20 a game?

Reminds me of the last time GS bumped TIVs and I nearly traded in New Super Mario Bros. because I couldn't remember the last time I played it. Then I fired it up and remembered why it's a great game that I can replay over and over. Though I don't know if AC is that way, the last one I played was simply titled "Assasins Creed".

 

[AndyD33]

How many power up points do you get for Star Wars DLC and 1 year PS plus?

10x the value. Or 11 if you are PUR pro.

 

[Kevlar338]

Lego city wii u went up 3$ and Alien Isolation X1 went up 1$ from yesterday.

 

[Bobby's World]

Not nearly enough for having to buy that dlc lol

 

[Donut2922]

Then yeah I'd wait for the 50% too. I don't think the values will drop again within 2 days. Might be more convenient if you're trying to trade other games for the 50% bonus too.
