There’s a demo for Sports Scramble. I found the motion controls to be really finicky and unreliable, so I’m not a fan.

PS4 Miles Morales is in the picture in the email, but it doesn’t work as part of the offer on the site, at least not for me. Shows up as $29.99 used (more than new!) and no promotions. Maybe it’ll be adjusted down later.

Either way, you can still access the $5 code in your active offers on the website. Just copy it somewhere before you use it in-store, then use the copied code online.

The GameStop associate I spoke with today said they’re having an in-store restock on December 17, but warned that I’d have to line up before the store opening to have a chance. I’ll wait until next year or 2023 if necessary, but I’m not camping out at a store to get a console.

Yes. Traded in GotG for $34 with the 50% bonus today (Thursday). GS is still selling it used for $25 as well, so it’s a reasonable flip even if you don’t want to play it (it’s a decent game, kind of like Mass Effect meets Uncharted, but the combat is pretty tedious and the whole game could stand...

Ah. Strange, but GS is nothing if not inconsistent.

My understanding is that GameStop stopped gutting copies earlier this year with the last reorganization. Of course, there are still plenty of “new” games that were gutted prior to that change and are still in stock at various locations.

Walkabout Mini Golf is good. It’s the standout full VR game out of what I’ve played so far.

The Black Friday sale is up. There are quite a few highly rated games included: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/section/4403460906428111/

Is there a Deku Deals or IsThereAnyDeal type thing for the Oculus store where we can see price histories? Also, is Wander the best app to show off to non-gamer friends/family? Thanks. I used your code to set up my new Quest 2. Here’s mine if we’re continuing the chain...

Guardians of the Galaxy is down to $25 new, $23 used. If I could find it nearby for pick up, I’d pull the trigger, but I don’t want to deal with adding items to get free shipping (even if I could later return them).

That’s a pretty decent list for Amazon. I’d actually considered buying the HP remaster although I have the original on PC already.

I thought Undertale was pretty good. If I’d played it before Nier Automata (and Danganronpa) I probably would have liked it even better. But you have to enjoy a particular kind of humor (and probably be a big softie inside) to really get into it. If you don’t like it 10 or 20 minutes in, you’re...

They might work in store, but mine didn’t work for me online. Just says that there are no eligible items when I have the OQ2 in my cart. It may be because there’s a GC bundled in or maybe some hardware is excluded. The certificate did work when I tested it with a physical game, however.

The style/atmosphere of Astral Chain is appealing to some people. The combat is decent, but nowhere near Platinum’s best, due to the difficulty of controlling the chained creatures in combination with the camera and the lower frame rate. If you dislike what you see in the trailer, you won’t...

I don’t recall any slowdown, certainly nothing distracting. But maybe I’m just desensitized to that from spending my childhood on the NES. ;)

Oculus Quest 2 is bundled with a free $50 gift card now. Amazon, Best Buy, and Target all have similar offers, but for those of us with GS credit, this seems like the best deal we’ll get. Edit: And, of course, I can’t use the reward certificate on this, either.

Star Allies is excellent for playing with kids. When we play NSMBU, my kiddo’s just bubbles all the time. With Kirby, they’re actually playing the game (even if I’m leading the way). And there are a number of combination powers, so the kids can feel useful there, too.

Got in on the $27 digital NS game deal. Thanks for the heads-up there. I knew GS vouchers don’t work on buying eShop/etc. credit online, but I must have forgotten that they don’t work for digital downloads either as I mistakenly cashed out a chunk. Hopefully there’re some hardware deals coming...

Thanks. Guess I'll try a different store if the 50% bonus comes back.
