50% off Select Pre-Owned Games at GameStop, 4/8 to 4/28

Ceol_CAG

CAGiversary!
EDIT: Hello! Turns out there's a big fat full list that I didn't know about. Figures, since I have no clue what I'm doing, that I'd fudge it up. Apologies, all! All new titles that weren't previously listed are now in orange. Maximus was kind enough to take a picture of the flyer with the full list (Thank you!!!), so you can also take a gander there:

[quote name='MaximusDM']My store had fliers. I took one and scanned it.
Sorry about the creases.

Back says the offer is valid through 4/28/13 and it stacks with your PowerUp Rewards for an additional 10% after the 50% is taken off.[/QUOTE]


EDIT 2: I have learned how to edit titles to reflect the dates. Whee.

EDIT 3: Red is now orange, because it really was quite terrible looking.

This is actually my very first thread after much lurking and sparse posting here and there, so... yay. Quite glad to contribute after discovering a lot of fantastic deals from fellow CAGers. Let me know if I'm "doing it wrong", as they say on these strange internets.

GameStop's going to be doing a 50% off sale on certain pre-owned games starting this coming Monday, 4/8 and lasting until 4/28. Lots of crap, admittedly, but there're a few gems in there. And I have the full list!

Stores will be setting up "dump bins" for these titles, and from what I understand so far, they won't be marked as the 50% off price, but will ring up as half off the price on the sticker.

This deal works online! If you do "Pick Up @ Store," you will get the discounted price when you pick up the game.

And just for reference, since I'm not sure how well-known these acronyms are... KNR = Kinect Required, MVR = Move Required, MVC = Move Compatible, MP = Motion Plus.

Very few games that are worth people's time. If I didn't already have Conduit and Cursed Mountain I'd pick those up.
 
I was out today and saw a complete Haze so I picked it up. Can't wait to look like a broke douche tomorrow when I do a return/rebuy for $1.50
 
One of my local stores had the steelbook for Cursed Mountain, priced at $9.99 like the regular version. I'll pick that up if it's still there/on sale.
 
[quote name='strait edge follower']lair and haze are supposed to be two of the worst ps3 exclusives ever, i think ill finally find out for myself lol. than again i just beat bioshock infante and playing junk games after finishing that masterpiece might not be a good idea. i wonder if the birthday coupon stacks with this. oh and guys get bulletstorm, fun game ![/QUOTE]

Can't speak for Lair, but Haze is truly horrible. Save your time and money. I bought it for $3 thinking "how bad can it really be?" and played it for 15-20 minutes before I couldn't take anymore. Traded it in to best buy for $2 and was just happy to get rid of it. I would have thrown it away otherwise. Easily the worst shooter I've ever played.

both lair and haze are bad. lol
 
I went out today and traded $80 worth of games in... then used that credit to buy some of these used games netting me the 50% trade-in bonus for the trades.

I will take every one of the games that I bought today back tomorrow, return and then rebuy to get them at 50% off.

Not sure what the final savings will be, but it will be less than just going in tomorrow and buying hem at 50% off and hoping the few gems that I was going to buy were still there.

Lol im the only one thats gonna defend Haze against at least not being worth $1.50. The gameplay is average and graphics are all right. If you really like fps its playable.
 
So if Continuum Shift stays the same price for 360 it'll be $6.50 before PUR and 20% coupon. I'm not much of a fighter fan but I do like anime. Tough call.

This. People act like its Turning point fall of liberty bad, its just had some much hype because it had free radical associated with it, and its just failed expectations all over the place.
 
I saw some stores have setups for the sale (no games out though). Hope someone posts the prices (either original or sale price), thought the OP would as it seemed the list was copy/pasted
 
[quote name='strait edge follower']love me some 2d fighters. i might get blaze blue as i beleave its made by the makers of the wonderfully crafted guilty gear series :)[/QUOTE]

if you don't care about getting the latest version go for it, cause it's three renditions behind haha

Each GameStop has a paper that lists the games... Pretty much like what the OP did.

If you want the prices you could always just goto their online site and do a search.

I didn't see any paper list. Only some of the stores that had setups had signage alluding to a 50% off sale.

I guess GS promo/sale/price drop memos aren't like other retailers that list actual prices. I'll likely check instore anyway.


Also is it me or was Gamestop's Spring 2013 sale much worse than previous years.
 
[quote name='gotdott']if you don't care about getting the latest version go for it, cause it's three renditions behind haha[/QUOTE]

3 huh ? that is alot lol. well i figure that after all of my discounts it will be super cheap to balance that out. as long as its good as guilty gear im in !

yea for casual play $5 or so sounds about right. eventually you can get extend, extend 2, or phantasma when they're up to super phantasma extend xii ;)
 
[quote name='GEMONYTE']Sale is live online.[/QUOTE]

Its a little odd...Games look to be half off and then another half off.

Example...El Shaddai for 360 is marked $15.00 down to $7.50 and then is half of in the cart making it $3.75.

Same goes for all the others I've tested...

It is effectively 75% off the original marked price on the website...

Yep, hope it's like this in store, not ordering from Gamestop online anymore, never know what the condition will be.

I already have Kinect Adventures but if it's 24 cents in store tomorrow, I might buy all of them lol
 
Seems like there are games included in the sale that are not on the op list. Resistance 2 will show $1.75 if put in cart.
 
[quote name='TwistedShade']Homefront PS3 is showing the Discount too down to 2.50$
And earth defense force, (360) down to 4$ with it.[/QUOTE]

Stellar price on EDF
 
Actually it looks like the Discount is being fixed when you go to check out. Redsteel 2 jumped back to 5$ Also no free shipping and it's 3.50$ for the cheapest option.

First time I've bought used in forever.

Picked up Deus Ex and Never Dead ps3 for $9 + 3.50 shipping.
About 6 bucks each in the end.
 
saver worked for me....and each game discounted twice (75% off). Lot of good stuff actually. Resistance 2 for 1.75, child of eden for 4 bucks...
 
Saver worked for me too, 16 games for a little under $34 shipped. I hope I don't get stuck with 16 disc only games. Going to be a nightmare trying to "trade cases" for all 16. I'm going to buy Akai Katana in store.
 
Cancelled and redid my order.
For $2 bucks more plus Saver, I added Red Steel 2 and Cursed Mountain.
4 games for $14.

Thanks OP, but I have one quick question for anyone that shops often at GS, if I receive any "disc only" games can I go to a local Gamestop to return & get a refund or rather an exchange?

I rarely buy used since I'm always afraid of gutted games, and not sure if Gamestop rebuffs games or not. But what the hell, I'll take my chances at this low of a price. In for Gingerbread Man.
 
Official Recommendation List

:360:
Battle Fantasia $2.50
Eat Lead $3.50
Call of Juarez Bound in Blood $4
Battlefield Bad Company 2 $4
BlazBlue $6.50
Akai Katana $7.50 (SHMUP)
Earth Defense Force 2017 $7.50

:ps3:
Lair $2
Resistance 2 $3.50
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 $4
Star Wars Force Unleashed $5
Bulletstorm $5
BlazBlue $5
Dragon Age Origins $5
Deus Ex $7.50

:wii:
Blast Works $2
Table Tennis $2.50
de Blob $2.50
Wii Music $2.50
MLB Power Pros $2.50
Boom Blox $3.50
Gummy Bears Mini Golf $3.50 (actually I'm just adding this for fun)

I'm a nut about having my games complete in original boxes/art/manual but I can't beat these prices so I am gonna take the gamble. Not sure if the system is broke or what with the 75% off but I'll find out tomorrow at the store as I sniff around for those unavailable online along with finding out if it rings up as 75% off at the store.
 
[quote name='Olengie']So from what I am seeing right now, there are more games 50% off other than the ones listed in the OP?[/QUOTE]

Yes. However I am not seeing this double discount thing people are reporting.
