Whoa! That's expensive-ass shipping! For 3 PS3 games, mine was $6.70 for shipping. Try re-ordering. That has to be an error.Shipping is 16.70 for three DS games...wtf. I would do in-store pick-up, but of course, one of the games I want isn't available for in-store pick-up.
Yeah, that's what I was figuring. Besides, had my Hitman canceled due to being backordered during the Best Buy sale a while ago for $11.99. So $13 isn't too bad at all for these. I'm a happy camper.Definitely still a pretty good deal. Brand new games that, in some cases, are not all horribly old. You can't go wrong buying most games for sub-$20
Shipping has always been ridiculous for games from the TRU website. I don't know why. But I know that's pure profit for them to gouge that much on shipping.Whoa! That's expensive-ass shipping! For 3 PS3 games, mine was $6.70 for shipping. Try re-ordering. That has to be an error.
Thanks for the heads-up...but I no longer subscribe to PS+. Besides, I prefer owning the physical game for my collection.Shipping has always been ridiculous for games from the TRU website. I don't know why. But I know that's pure profit for them to gouge that much on shipping.
FYI Smiley, if you have a PS3 and PS+ Hitman Absolution is free to play on PS3 at the moment.
How did you trade in 3 copies of Portal 2 in one day? You must have some very lenient GS employees.Bought 3 copies of Portal 2 for $30. Sold them for gamestop for $50. TIV is $13 + %30 promo.
Not sure how people are getting TRU to match Amazon. I just looked up their PM policy and it says they'll only match online prices for baby items. For other items they need an actual physical ad.
No not at all. I bought 8 Portal 2's during the b1g1 at TRU (I dont do it often, but needed to pay off some pre-orders) and they TIV was $22 each during that time. Anyways, all you have to do is bring the purchase receipt to prove they were not stolen, and you can trade them in. I drove straight from TRU to GameStop and had no problem at allHow did you trade in 3 copies of Portal 2 in one day? You must have some very lenient GS employees.
There was a sign in my store, and it said friday-saturday only, so I dont think its till September 6th, or it turns into YMMV which is unlikelyThe deal is going on until September 6 or so. I Did a promo check and it looks to be all $14.99-$19.99 games. There's no signage in my store, so majority of employees will be clueless.
I Did a promo check and that's what it said. I Wouldn't put it past them if it were to change for some reason, but that's what came up.There was a sign in my store, and it said friday-saturday only, so I dont think its till September 6th, or it turns into YMMV which is unlikely
I didn't hesitate to buy the three games I bought online because the price was still cheaper than it would have been at most other retail stores. It's a really good time to save on current-gen games right now if you're not especially picky.Only games I'm interested in are Hitman: Absolution, Street Figher X Tekken, and Lego Lord of the Rings. Problem is, my TRU doesn't have any of these in stock, so my only option is shipping...which adds $6.70. After shipping and tax it still comes out to $13 a game...which is pretty good.
What do you guys think?
I don't know. I'm worried about this too. I want to pricematch Playstation all Stars and Sly Cooper TiT to the amazon price. I have a feeling if I buy those 2 games and minecraft, the register will total out to $60 instead of $30. Does the pricematching screw up the promotion and require another manager override?When you pricematch games down to $19.99, does the computer automatically total the 3 games down to $30?
If it requires a manual override, I think I might run into trouble pricematching down to $10 each after already pricematching down to $19.99.
lol. Yeah it's weird. It's damn near psychotic behavior.I don't know. I'm worried about this too. I want to pricematch Playstation all Stars and Sly Cooper TiT to the amazon price.

It's really weird talking to yourself on a forum.
First rule of CAG is don't call.Called my local TRU and asked about a few games in stock. Employee said they didn't have one of the games in stock so I walked in to see myself. D-bag lied and saw the game on the shelf. So to the people who've checked the website to see if their store has a game their looking for and says unavailable, I highly recommend checking yourself. A good chance that they'll have it in stock.
Picked up:
AC: Revelations
Kingdoms of Amalur
Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded
Gonna go back next week and pick up a few more games
NEVER CALLFirst rule of CAG is don't call.
Someone mentioned in this thread they saw it runs until 9/7Anyone know how long this sale is going on for? I don't see it on TRU's website.
Yes, the signs in the local store here last night said it was through 9/7.Someone mentioned in this thread they saw it runs until 9/7
Check out the GS trade-in threadHow do people know what gamestop/bestbuy offers for trade credit? Do you call them and ask? I was wanting to flip some games to build up some credit for next gen games and the only thing I found online was a limited list of what gamestop offers.
Was trying to figure out which titles would give me the biggest bang for the buck on gamestop/bestbuy credit and their site doesn't give a complete list.
I picked up minecraft, SFxT on ps3, and kingdom hearts recoded on DS last night and needed no override at all and the promotion kicked in automatically.Do cross console purchases work without overrides now?
Mine worked last night fine (automatically) 2 360 titles, and a vita game.Do cross console purchases work without overrides now?
yes, I confirmed that today. In-store price of Portal 2 is $19.99So portal 2 IS part of the sale? Cuz on TRU website it says its $30. If so this is great news if my store has it. Cant check til 6pm EST cuz im at work.
So basically your PM'd item did not become part of the deal, you just paid $20 for it - you still had to pick up 3 non-pm'ed, under $20, items for the computer to trigger it.I went in this morning and tried to get PS All Stars Battle Royale ps3 (pricematched to gamestop $20), Minecraft and Hitman absolution 360
Manager did the override for PSABR but system didn't discount to $10 each. I added Portal 2 for 360 and all the 360 games went down to $10 each.
Im ok with that those 4 for $50 though...especially because I found a Skylanders lightning rod purple variant!!
Yeah - I decided to go try to PM a few games I had bought for $20 at Target and BBY -- but no go. The manager was not willing to double dip in addition to the PM.So basically your PM'd item did not become part of the deal, you just paid $20 for it - you still had to pick up 3 non-pm'ed, under $20, items for the computer to trigger it.
I'd like to PM a couple items for the 3 for 30, but it sounds like you need to double dip with the PM and then getting the promo to drop it to $10. From what it sounds like, the computer doesn't automatically do this and would require a double manager override.
