Did anyone pre order Deformers get the CE for half off?

The CE doesn't work for half off apparently.

The associate I talked to today read the terms for the 50% off deal and she said the CE is included.

Also confirmed that Deformers trades back for $10 base, $20 after 50% and $5 coupon. I might enjoy my free PS4/PC copy, get the CE for the goodies, and trade the disc back.

 

[dealzg]

Anyone thinking of buying Deformers on PS4 or PC, look a few posts up. Free > half off.

PC version didn't work on steam, said lobbys were not up but the PS4 version worked.

 

[Kyle1022]

Got my Deformers codes, but my friend is looking for a PC code. His GS account was perma-banned awhile back. If anyone can spare a Steam key for him, it would be much appreciated

 

[zlatour]

Is this game really online only? ing cucks...

Also if anyone is curious according to my data Has Been Heroes on the Switch has sold around 6000 copies, Less then 500 on the PS4, and looks like less then 200 on the Xbox One. (Physical copies in store)

 

[Virtua]

None of the stores in my area give out the $5 coupon. Must be stingy dm.

I've never even seen one. I've asked for one several times at several different stores when making purchases and trades, I always get looked at like I have 2 heads.

 

[blackbeard4886]

Looks like GS is cracking down on people trading in broken controllers.

[Deader2818]

Yeah can't wait. Hope to get it soon.

Also test phones and in the future will be able to test consoles.

Ya this is good for me as it is a crap shoot with the pre-owned controllers i have bought in the past.

Crackdown, no. We want to make sure we are not selling broken controllers.

What's to stop you from using the code? Employees won't do that?

 

[dualrec]

anyone ever figure out if CE for Deformers will be 50% off?  Gonna try my luck later today.

 

[Virtua]

You mean wiggling the sticks and mashing the buttons doesn't mean it works? Lol

 

[Virtua]

I'm on good terms with most of them here. I don't want to try screwing them over. They've been pretty cool to me about other stuff.

 

[saberdragon]

No. Somebody mentioned it in a previous post.

 

[Dashey10]

That's what I've been told. I'll confirm it when I go to pick up my copy today.

 

[dualrec]

Nope.  50% standard only.  Damn my steelbook obsession

 

[hotwheels68]

Oh, so the code would cost them $5 on their CoL score or the like? I didn't know that.

 

[SharkSocks]

Actually the opposite. It boosts their CoL numbers because they do it by dollar value.

 

[AndyD33]

Picked up my deformers CE for $20. SL did a manual adjustment after he found something on gso saying the discount should be for all versions and would be a $20 savings on the ce.

 

[Alexpguy]

Blackbeard, is there something going on (clearance?) with the guides you added to the locator sheet?

 

[Bobby's World]

Hmm is it worth it @ $20 though?

I assume that taking printed off coupons that aren't emailed to customers or entering coupon codes without a signed coupon could get them in trouble

I'm 0 for 2 so far trying to use it. Both employees (diff location, same district) said they wouldn't scan it because it wasn't "signed by a manager." One day I'll find an employee to scan it. lol

 

[AndyD33]

It has a steelbook, so yes.

FF XV and FF XV CE guides also dropped yesterday, would you be able to add those too please?

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

Crackdown, no. We want to make sure we are not selling broken controllers.

I'm sure most of the employees at gs want to make sure they aren't selling broken controllers to the customers. Corporate is definitely cracking down as they could give two shits.

 

[SharkSocks]

Hmm is it worth it @ $20 though?

I thought it was worth it at $40 before the whole 50% off deal was announced. It's got 4 figures, some stickers, steelbook, and a soundtrack. Oh, plus the game of course.

 

[blackbeard4886]

Done

FF XV

The game is free! Lol I was going to buy it @ $20 but they wouldn't budge. I just asked for my pre-order deposit back

 

[saberdragon]

Looks like the base value to use the $5 card has to be more than $5 at a certain store because they used on everything and their dm got on their ass about it.

 

[BEKFAST]

Also if anyone is curious according to my data Has Been Heroes on the Switch has sold around 6000 copies, Less then 500 on the PS4, and looks like less then 200 on the Xbox One. (Physical copies in store)

Has-Been Heroes only sold 200 physical in store on XB1? I would've thought like 3-4 per store on XB1

 

[saberdragon]

The buy 2 get one free ds is over too.

 

[blackbeard4886]

Has-Been Heroes only sold 200 physical in store on XB1? I would've thought like 3-4 per store on XB1

Just a guesstimate based on the new inventory I pulled just before launch and the new inventory numbers now + pre-owned copies in circulation. But either way the and copies don't seem to be selling much only the Switch is selling. I personally bought the Switch version because I had a $5 new cert to use and thought what the hell. It is actually a lot of fun once you figure out how to play it.

 

[TimPV3]

Has anyone else had any luck getting Deformers CE for $20? I played a match last night, and I'm a sucker for steelbooks and vinyl figures but I'm not feeling good about dropping $40 on it.

I literally just picked up one 5mins ago. Manager used promo not found to get the 50% off. Total was 21.49.

 

[Confidance]

I was denied not only the percentage off, but the damn game itself at two stores. The hell man?

"Sorry, gotta wait until tomorrow"

 

[chnandler_bong]

Did you show them the text message you received at 10 AM local time saying it's available today?!?

 

[SharkSocks]

Huh, my store gave it to me for $20 no issue. Bummer.

Also just because employees (and people who got the code) got it free doesn't make the game worthless. I still think that a physical disc gives the CE additional value, especially since it trades back for $10 base.

 

[whswhsjohn]

hey everyone, just wanted to quickly check.

50% bonus for puyopuyo and other games is not dead right?

It is on their website but not on their mobile site so wanted to make sure for tomorrow's trade in.

The percentage off and picking it up today are for pro members. Are you a pro member?

I just got this bonus.

Also got Deformers CE for 20 with no issue. Had to get Xbox version which is online only, but that is a good reason for when I trade the disc only in, this weekend.

Been so for 9 years. Ima try another store. Is there a details page i can print out to show them? I had it reserved at one store and tried a second store, sent both of them to GSO and was still denied.

Im driving and sitting at a light so i cant responsibly look for it right now

 

[saberdragon]

I went to another store and I was able to use the $5 card on two games that were both under $5 base credit. I didn't even have to be sneaky and get the guy to scan the coupon on my phone. He scanned one for me and even let me use it more than once and he let me keep it. I'll make this store the one I need to go to trade stuff in and I'll be looking out for this particular employee. I don't think the manager would have done it but I'm not sure yet. I wish I could give him positive feedback but I don't know how.

You should have gotten an email at the email you signed up for PUR at earlier this week entitled "Time to do battle! Deformers rolls in 4/20"

I got it on the 17th. It says your preorder will be available on 4/20, and tells about the discount.
