Hoping Gamestop follows suit and offers a $10 bonus for pre-ordering these. Since my GCU expired I've been mostly buying games at Gamestop since I still have Elite Pro and there is a store less than a mile from my house.Posted on the pre-order post but I know this will have a lot more traffic:

Hoping Gamestop follows suit and offers a $10 bonus for pre-ordering these. Since my GCU expired I've been mostly buying games at Gamestop since I still have Elite Pro and there is a store less than a mile from my house.
Went into Best Buy yesterday and saw at least 4 different games I would have bought if I still had GCU. I left the store without buying anything.
I've noticed I havent been buying as many games since GCU ended myself. Altho I have been placing pre orders on my girlfriends account since hers is up in april.
Maybe GCU ending is a good thing, I'll spend less cuz I'll buy less games.
But I agree, gamestop and Amazon will get more business from me
Pssh, true CAGs quit Amazon after their 30% discounts ended.It's funny how many CAGers quit amazon after they dropped their 20% discounts. When my GCU eventually runs out I may just simmer down and slowly stop buying games in general. I'm tired of games today that released half assed, broken, or incomplete, to be patches 6 months to 12 months later and sold as half price as a "COMPLETE EDITION".
Didn’t someone recently order a game, picked it up in store and the manager etc opened the game right there in front of them?Gamestop has faults, but their pre-orders in store are always in pristine shape for me vs bestbuy...
I rarely used the 20% discount with Prime since I had GCU, but wish they offered it now. I order from Amazon often but rarely is it video games.It's funny how many CAGers quit amazon after they dropped their 20% discounts.

I agree. Gamestop also has a solid rewards system and tend to carry a lot of games that Best Buy does not have. I also feel like I need to enjoy a retailer for video games for as long as I can since they likely won't around too much longer.Gamestop has faults, but their pre-orders in store are always in pristine shape for me vs bestbuy...
you're rightDidn’t someone recently order a game, picked it up in store and the manager etc opened the game right there in front of them?
I do remember someone posting that..
you're right
but that hasn't happened to me, or I'd no longer shop at that store. I'm one of the few who doesn't have a shady gamestop anywhere around me. Nice workers at the ones I go to.
That was definitely an outlier. I worked at Gamestop for 7 years and that's definitely not the norm, although they did do some questionable things when I worked there. The stores I go to now also have very friendly employees who aren't pushy at all which is a big reason I continue to shop there and hope they are able to stick around for awhile as a company.you're right

Yup that was me. South Park TFBW Gold Steelbook edition. I just wanted the season pass so I wasn't too upset.Didn’t someone recently order a game, picked it up in store and the manager etc opened the game right there in front of them?

Sent from my SM-N950U1 using TapatalkIs Best Buy still doing the save $1 if you switch to store pickup? Doesn’t seem to be working for me.
Yeah, but what was happening to me was that the $1 off wouldn't show up on the app or mobile site. Had to go to the desktop site on my PC for it to show up. Has been happening for my last few orders.Is Best Buy still doing the save $1 if you switch to store pickup? Doesn’t seem to be working for me.
I looking forward to not hoarding every $20 and below game from BB when my GCU ends. I just got my email yesterday reminding me I have just days left and here is a 25% code for one video game. The last month I’ve been buying any low priced game I thought I might play.Not having GCU saves me so much money by not buying anything from BB anymore. So their plan is working.
I've had to exit checkout, and start new for it to show sometimes. (Both iOS app and PC website) And a few times if I used the $1 pickup any rewards cert i tried to use got removed from being used as soon as I hit place order.Yeah, but what was happening to me was that the $1 off wouldn't show up on the app or mobile site.
