Recent Gamestop Price Drop List (on New Merchandise Only)

[espionage]

Most of the stuff that Gamestop price drops tends to be in line with universal price drops, but because not all of them are, this thread is warranted. Also, if the price of the new item has dropped in price, expect the used item price to similarly follow suit and be $2-$5 less than its new retail price. Sometimes the used version drops first, but both are often around the same time.

Many of these items are sold out in stores since they're old and won't get restocked (Gamestop, after all, tends to make most of its money from selling used games), so you'll have to do a zip code store search for the appropriate title to hopefully find it in your area if you can't buy the item online.

All of this information is presented on the Gamestop website, but because of their new "Price Drop" algorithm, it doesn't really display when new price drops hit. Since I started keeping a running list for current platforms, I figure its easy enough to do a comparison to my lists every week. I generally run the reports once a week on Wednesday mornings, because I've noticed most price drops occur on Monday or Tuesday mornings so I wanted to catch those on the weekly report. If you find price drops sooner than my weekly Wednesday morning report, feel free to post them in the thread so others can get a "head start". I no longer have time to maintain this thread due to my new job but feel free to continue posting Gamestop price drops in this thread or if anyone wants to take over just let me know. Thanks!

Didn't a bunch of people get sent gutted or used SFIV when they ordered new copies from the website?

Yeah, I did. The disc looked clean and plays fine, so I didn't make a big deal out of it.

Yes, I have received "new" games from gamestop.com that has been gutted and a scratch on the disc. Only if the person in store is cool about it and trusts you. For the most part they will think you opened it...

I received a gutted SFIV from them this week. Sold as "NEW". It didn't even have tape to show it wasn't opened by me, so I could not return it to a store.

Avoid.

 

[sadunk]

I think everyone that received a gutted copy in the mail, needs to call corporate and complain. I'd hope that the more people that do it, they'll stop.

 

[Soma_Cruz]

And here I thought it was safe to order new stuff from GS online, never got a gutted copy shipped to me before. Maybe I should switch my preorders to amazon even though I'll lose some minor bonuses.

I'm sure your preorders will be fine!
I just think a buncha copies of SF4 were sitting around when it first came out, and there were no used copies, so employees were checking them out, probably like hotcakes. Now those are sitting around.
I'm 100% sure if you preorder that you'll get a mint copy.
A sealed mint copy.

Away Shuffle Dungeon DS dropped to $6.99 used. Fantastic price, and the 25% coupon still active. You can walk away with it for less than $5. For that price, the game is definitely worth it.

Slidecage are those new, used, or what? I think the intention of this thread was for price drops on new merchandise so if you're going to list used items please make note of it in your post. Thanks!

 

[nbballard]

since Park Patrol is only sold new at Wal-Mart, I'd imagine that these are used prices.

 

[gxer2002]

For those of you who recieved used or gutted copies of Street Fighter IV from buying them online during the sale for a new copy email gamestop.com. I had sent them an email and they said there was a mistake made with their warehouse and they would send a prepaid ups envelope to correct the mistake and send new copies. again email gamestop.com customer service.

Rock Band PSP trades into amazon for $16.50, so that's a near 1-to-1 flip to amazon after taxes (or slightly better then, if you don't pay taxes.)

searched, didnt see it in this thread yet

 

[romodome]

Turning Point and Jericho for the 360/PS3 used are $8.99($5.84 after coupons). Old games, but if you have a load of credit, could do worse.

The list doesn't seem to be updated, not since 4/7 anyways. Dead space is now $29.99 new at gamestop.

I don't get it. If you're using the front page coupon code "DEAL25U" in your calculation it won't work as it expired on 8/3. If you have a different one please post it here as there are a couple of things I want to pick up.

 

[dallow]

Cheeky. He means the weekly coupon from GS that ends today.

My bad guys. I haven't been able to keep up lately.

There were a number off layoffs here and I've to take on much more work.
I'll be done with a big project Friday so I should be good to make weekly lists.

I believe he's referring to this one, although it's only good through today, only valid at B&M, and requires 2-4 used games to be purchased. Still, most of those conditions satisfy how I usually do business with GS. They are incredibly unreliable when it comes to cases and manuals, and I have a few games I've been keeping my eyes on.

Oh... Right on. I tend to do most of my shopping online these days. I tend to go by B&M to trade occasionally, but other places tend to offer better credit than GS. Still, I might stop by the local GS to use the coupon today. Thanks guys.
