I'll prob be getting both

 

[GamerDude316]

Sorry if already posted but the new 20% bonus goes towards Persona 5, Mario Kart 8,and Sniper Ghost Warrior. April 3rd to April 23rd

Nice...I'll have to move my Mario Kart preorder to my home store though which will be a pain. Oh well.

 

[WWF]

Perfect. Mario Kart 8 deluxe, all my saved estimates didn't drop , and an excuse to cancel preorder and apply everything to a game I actually want, "I couldn't get a Switch console."

Kinda wished I saved those LIS and Spider-Man games, but I guess I can go get more.

DS B2G1 sheet is up

So brickseek was accurate but I was told the website promos don't apply in store, the ? I was also told you can only price match one game. Also, the ? I said it and left both. So dumb.

its specifically an online only offer, not surprising that they wont do it in store.

Guess I should clarify the guy in the games section told me it wouldn't be an issue to PM the site or PM two games. It's the change from then to front of the store that annoys me.

i can see that being annoying, in my experience, target has some of the worst employees as far as just saying whatever to get you to move on and then everything being different at the register.

This would be nice if the B2G1 was actually working online. WTF, Gamestop?

Yup, and the customer service employees are generally the worst of the bunch.

With the exception of that one old lady who calls everyone "darling"

Not a single shred of truth in that. One store that I went to showed in stock on brickseek for 19.98, however it also showed 0 sellable, and the two that I sawrang at 29.98. The next store showed both in stock and sellable for 19.98. That next store had 0 to be found, but I did find a deluxe edition that rang at 19.98

 

[Faithful]

Thanks! Wish there were more good boomerangs with this promo.

 

[Quagmilion]

Will there be a midnight release at GameStop for Persona 5? I'm really itching to play the game...

 

[blackbeard4886]

Does anyone know if it working in store?

 

[westcoaststyle]

I'm gonna stop by on my lunch break in a couple of hours, I'll let you guys know if someone already hasn't by then.

 

[ariel.rosales3]

Its not active. Tried with 3 DS Pokemon games.

Can anyone point me to the ad?

I just went into gamestop and it didn't activate. I found a ton of DS games to boomerang but the employee had no idea about the offer. I ended up using one of my b2g1 coupons. Is there an ad for this? Thanks for updating the NDS sheets. I just need to go trade stuff back in now.

 

[blackbeard4886]

4 for $10 will be extended, and now ends on 4/23. B2G1F on all preowned DS games starts 4/3, and also ends on 4/23.

There was no ad just a post by invizible who works at GS. I am thinking maybe this starts on Wednesday with the new ad.

Okay. Thanks for the clarification. It's not a big deal about using my coupon. I should be able to still make plenty of profit with the boomerang. Thanks for the hard work.

 

[charlie3000k]

Mine did too but is 4 bucks really a hype?

 

[charlie3000k]

I'll probably use a $5 coupon and put $21.25 towards Mario Kart 8 deluxe
I'm not to hyped , but I'm satisfied with my victory

 

[josekortez]

This would make sense if there was a Midnight Channel in the game.

 

[Electroplasm]

Is there a chance katamari forever ps3 will ever become a collector's item? I have a new sealed copy. Don't know if I should unload it or keep it.

Just to give you an idea, at GS alone 268 of a 280 store sample had 1 or 2 in stock.

 

[invizibleskratchpikl]

Looks like the DS B2G1F was updated. It SHOULD be valid from 4/10 - 4/18.

 

[Cnstntidnty]

^Gamestop is wise to the old end of month boost + B2G1 boomaranga, huh

 

[dominator]

Any word on this week's ad? I'm hoping there's some Funko Pop deals this week. I'm currently thinking about getting a mystery box or two from Black Friday. I've gotten fortunate to pick up three of them and pick up the three Pops I wanted but now I'm looking to the two gold ones, hopefully those will go on sale soon.

thanks

 

[johnston306]

Will the values hold til tomorrow or is it a mystery?

 

[kraftwerks]

it's a mystery that totally isnt answered in the faq in the second post.

 

[esalw822]

Just to give you an idea, at GS alone 268 of a 280 store sample had 1 or 2 in stock.

So you're saying yes? 'Cause that means there's probably only like 12 actually sealed at all of the GS stores combined

 

[Virtua]

Here's an interesting experiment... Which last gen games does GameStop have the lowest stock of?

El shaddai
Afrika
Under defeat hd
Sega rally Revo
Majin and the forgotten kingdom
Apache air attack?

Those are a few I can think of that are pretty hard to find on ps3.

 

[kraftwerks]

try finding a non greatest hits, fully complete, and not scratched to and back Uncharted Drakes Fortune. Go on, I dare ya.

 

[Sunrisecityrider]

The DS B2G1 starts on 4/12

 

[RoxyWahine03]

Aww I've been trying to find a copy of El Shaddai. Also been trying to find a copy of Test Drive Unlimited 2 which is not available here anywhere either.

So for the 4 for $10 promo I only have it narrowed down to 6 games...either dropping 2 or have to pick up 2 more.
Fear 2
Enslaved Odyssey to the West
Heavenly Sword
Condemned 2
Clive Barker's Jericho
Dark Sector

My 175ish backlog is out of control ... I rarely own any preowned games...what was the best deal GS offered for preowned PS2/XB games? Was it ever $1 per game or something? Or was selection really bad by that point?

 

[westcoaststyle]

Just came back from my local GS and they're having a midnight (9PM) release for it. Might want to check with your local store.

 

[blackbeard4886]

0 new copies in the 280 stores.

Sega Rally Revo is hard to find? My GS has one.

 

[aspen1284]

Was the PS4 Ezio Collection part of the stealth bump, or did it have a $27.50 tiv before this weekend? Just wondering if I can wait till tomorrow or if I need to make the trip to GS today.

 

[Bobby's World]

Come on, man! No way that the Ezio Collection had that TIV before the stealth bump lol

Yeah. For the most part only new releases have a $25.00 and up trade in value. So if it's a game that came out last fall it's a stealth bump.

I rarely see it, because it's cheap, traded in for next to nothing, and wasn't popular at release. These games aren't valuable but GameStop gives less than a dollar for them in some cases and charges less than $5 for them, so they don't get traded in often and get sold quickly because they are cheap.

Last time I saw PS2 or Xbox games 3 years ago they were disc only, shit selection, prices ranged from $1-$3 a piece and they were B1G1.

 

[Kyle1022]

Lol wtf, Sega Rally Evo isn't even close to being rare. Really none of those are except for Afrika and Under Defeat HD, seeing as you can still buy all of them on the website

It was just off the top of my head list.

 

[blackbeard4886]

I added Painkiller Hell and Damnation for all who didn't know. I had to import it from the UK since I've never actually seen the US copy.

Yeah exactly especially when I have gcu why would I want to spend 65 lol but let me know how it goes for u on your return or exchange.

Hey, I just came back from returning the copy of Kingdom Hearts I picked up last week. Funds went right back to my trade card. Then I used it to pay off my Persona 5 copy.
