I think I know what could make the $5 coupon for the people who couldn't apply it. I first tried ordering without registering an account, but I made an account and it worked. If it still doesn't work after registering, you should sign up for their newsletter, and it should work. I don't know if it's a for sure thing, but someone on SD suggested it and it worked for me. Let me know if thats the case, Im curious :D
 
Aww great I just went to check on my order status to see that two of the three games I bought are out of stock. What happens now? Will my order get canceled or put on hold until they get the games?

Well, the thing is, the out of stock that you see in your order, is the actual status of the game currently, so it has nothing to do with your order. That happened to quite a few of my games, but it had nothing to do with my game being out of stock. When its in the cart, it just shows their current stock of the game, not if your specific order of the game is out of stock. So I wouldn't worry about it. Normally when they don't have your game, they actually do send you an email that it is no longer in stock and will refund you the price of the game that isnt in stock. They generally don't do the ship it when its in stock again since they are a used game store, and they never know if itll come back in stock again, so they generally just refund you the money for that game thats out of stock. Until then, you should be okay.
 
That was odd...
I got 5 emails back-to-back each saying a different game has shipped "separately." Are they really each going to come in their own package? I thought an older post mentioned that, but I didn't think much of it. Kind of wasteful, but whatever...

My e-mail just got flooded with their automated messages. Don't really care I guess.. I do need some extra bubble mailers to ship out games and stuff. :lol:
 
Sounds like it. They ship from whichever Hastings location has it in stock. Consider the nice assortment of reusable bubble-mailers as part of the deal.
 
This is a really good deal for blu-rays that seems to be flying under the radar. There are quite a few cheap blu-rays that don't show up when you search by lowest price. Here are some that are less than $9 before discounts:

Haunting In Conn.
Get Smart
Body of Lies

plus more titles in the $10-13 range like Boondock Saints, Underworld 3, Old School, 40-year old Virgin, etc.
 
[quote name='gohastings']We have 150 stores in the midwest[/QUOTE]

Can we assume that all of the games in this sale come with at least the case, if not the case and manual? The notion of disc-only games does not excite me. ;)
 
How are most Music CD's? Pretty damn nice prices but I'm afraid they'll all have cracks and wear&tear. Any info is appreciated, thanks!

@birdfart


40 Year Old Virgin is $9.39, pretty nice price. Thinking about picking that up with Knocked Up and something else.. any recomendations for anything under $15? I would've gotten Tropic Thunder but it seems like its sold out :(

ordered ninja gaiden sigma, ratchet and clank, and lair all for $36.30. For $12.10 a pop its a great deal considering lair is still full price in most stores and finding used ratchet for $12 is pretty hard to do. Lets just hope its in decent condition

Considering they are PS3 games, you should be good. Blu-ray discs have protective coatings on them and 99% of the time dont have scratches. If there seems to be one, you most of the time can wipe it away as well as fingerprints without scratching the disc.
 
This place burned me. I ordered two games last week. One came and the other did not. I then get an email saying that the game I ordered is now not available and will not be shipped. Sure I got a refund for that game, but I ended up paying 3.00 or so in shipping for a 2.00 game. I will never use that place again.
 
For the $5 off code instead of writing "may or may not work" you should put "may work after making account or signing up for newsletter". I placed a order for $30 thinking the $5 off code just wasn't working for me and only found out it might have worked after reading this entire topic.
 
My experience has been decent. I have picked up loads of graphic novels and games in the last couple of weeks. The games have been in great shape only had one missing manual so far. The cases have ranged from almost new to EB/Gamestop used quality. I have had one error with a diet book being sent instead of a graphic novel but they gave me a refund. Also, their prices fluctuate daily and they do not price match/negotiate their own prices on pending orders. I ordered a game and it dropped $6 bucks and since it hadn't shipped I asked them to match the price drop. They didn't match the price drop so I plan to return the game for a refund. The customer service was ok even though I didn't liked the outcome.

Received 4 of the 9 games I ordered today. Only one of the games were in acceptable condition. The other three.. were a shit show. One game looked like a dog took a shit of rocks on the disc and then proceeded to chew up the cover art. The second game game in a DVD case that was sticky as hell. I just imagined that the DVD was used for an old porno or something. The last of the three was missing everything.. besides the disc which was scratched to death. I am sooo not looking forward to the other discs that are coming.. should I call customer service?
 
Got my first game today - Grandia III. Pretty much near mint, a little wear on the case but nothing too bad. They even shrink-wrapped it to make me feel all special like I was opening a new game. This is my first time ordering from them, so far so good.

Yeah. Demand your money back. Make THEM pay return shipping too. What a joke. I'm glad I didn't waste my money on this. I'd rather gamble buying online from GameStop with B2G1F over this.
 
I got my first of 6 today: Ominusha Dawn of Dreams. Like bvharris's, it was pretty much near-mint.
Mis0, sorry you didn't have the same experience.
 
^^ Got the ship notice email Tuesday night, got the game Thursday afternoon. But the other 4 I was emailed about have yet to arrive. I think they come from different locations.

Well.. at least some of us CAGs are doing well with gohastings.

The thing is, if the games were a little bit older or more rare, I probably wouldn't have minded the bad condition.

But come on.. Kingdom Hearts--shit show, Unlimited Saga--shit show, Arc the Lad: End of Darkness--shit show. The oldest game out of the bunch (Gauntlet: Dark Legacy) was complete and acceptable though. BOO.

I'm just hoping that I got the bad end of the stick in the beginning.. and everything else is at least COMPLETE. :bomb:
 
I have a Hastings in Helena, Montana and aside from running the only Blockbuster in town out of business they are pretty good. It's like a Book/Music/Game/T-shirt/DVD/B-R/Electronics/Music Instrument/Coffee house - store all in one. The most interesting thing about the store is that all of the Used merchandise is side-by-side with the brand new stuff. So, if I don't want to get that $25 special edition DVD I can grab a slightly-used version for $12. I have never ordered from them online.

Only thing about the games (aside from no used PC games) is that when they come in used, they get wrapped in a sealed plastic bag that says "used" and you don't know what condition the disk is in. But SOMETIMES they have already run the disk through a buffer and it looks spotless or it was well-taken care of/not played much.

I hit the Buy 2 deal a couple months ago (they have been running it all Summer) and picked up some titles that I wanted to play, but while at checkout I made them open 'em up so I could see before buying and sent the CS person back twice on Soul Calibur 4 (XB360). The first two disks were garbage, one case didn't have instructions and the third was perfect. So, you are taking a chance, but maybe they do online sales differently. They need better handling when a disk is traded in to when it hits the shelves. Easy to tell if a used book is ok, but a little more time and work to buff a disk. I personally don't like buffed disks because the new buffers shave a tiny layer of plastic off to make it perfect again. Unfortunately this means the disk is also now thinner. (That said, I have never had a disk break on me, ever.)

Their old gaming-centric website, playhastings.com has now been merged into their new/old non-gaming, gohastings.com ..playhastings.com had great deals on selling your used games and you could get discount coupons from the site that you could redeem in store. I have not noticed any thing like that on the new/old site.

Hope this helps some people make informed decisions. I like the store, but YMMV.
 
Tried finally ordering after couple days of choosing what to get, and then it won't accept any of my cards, tried couple different ones. It says they're all declined, in fact, I used em today over at Amazon. Any clues on what to do?
 
Ordered 9 games.

6 on Tuesday around 5PM, and 3 on Wednesday around 3AM.

Received 3 games on Thursday. Discs all looked flawless aside from 3 fingerprints on one of them. Artwork and manuals all included. One manual looks like it got it's ass kicked though.

Was expecting far worse, my definition of good condition from my experience with eBay was many minor scuffs and scratches but still playable.

Hope the other 6 are in as good condition as the first 3.

Same thing happened to me; the charges were eventually removed after a few days, but the money was temporary deducted from my account. Not sure why the site would decline good cards.

Weird. Not too sure what that is. No one had this problem in the previous hastings sale, so not sure what is going on. This could be a result of the maintenance they did earlier this week on the site and it may screwed up their checkout system. You should just give them a call and see whats up.
 
I might bite on a few things today just to test it out. Never ordered from them before and hope the games come in decent condition, with manual and case. Fingers crossed.

Contact support and ask what the heck is up.
 
I ordered 3 PS2 games from them the first time this came around a couple of weeks ago. SSX3 came complete in mint condition, but was in a rental DVD box. NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 was the greatest hits version, came complete in mint condition in a PS2 case. Sega Genesis Collection came pretty scratched up, but seems to play ok, missing the manual, and in a DVD box.

I called Hastings about the missing manual and the rep said that since they guarantee complete games, she was going to credit me back the price of that game and I could just keep the copy I got.

I noticed that the credit just showed up on my credit card...sweet!

Thanks for your post. I'm going to order from them tonight I think. The part where you said they guarantee complete games sold me. That's why I was on the fence. I didn't want to just get a UMD if I bought a PSP title, like is sold so often on Half.com and eBay.

Also, is that $5 off $25 coupon code before shipping or after? If I hit 25.xx post-shipping, I wonder if it will let me use it. I did notice that the sale stacks, so if you order 6 games, two of them will be $1 (the cheapest of course).
 
Just received another game (Grandia II) which was so mint that the registration card and product catalog were still tucked in with the manual. Disc looked like it had never even been played. I guess I'm just having good luck so far, I'm 2 for 2 on near-mint, with one more incoming.
 
I called them too. Got a refund for 3 of the 4 games. I told them that I'd be willing to ship it back to them for the cost of shipping and the girl was all.. no thanks. She sounded hot.
 
After checking if they charged the card after the site declined the card, I found out they did but its pending. Called customer service and they told me it would go away in a couple of days.. Damn really wish my order would go through. Whatevers, pretty good deal imo but the whole experience with this site sucked. Only if I had a Hastings around here. I guess I've got to pass.
 
[quote name='Crimsonscyes']When did you place your order?[/QUOTE]
Late Monday night. I got the shipping email almost exactly 24 hours later.
 
Got my first 5 dvd's yesterday all in seperate bubble mailers:
Pom Poko & Whisper of the Heart: Like new with slipcovers
RE: Degeneration :br: like new
Happening :br: like new except for broken case
Speed Racer :br: eh, case broken, feature disc so-so, digital copy disc and game disc some radial scratches and unknown foriegn materials on label side...
Expecting another batch today.
 
I ordered a used games and a day later the price for that same used game went up by $6. Does that mean I was able to buy the game while they were having some sale or should I be worried about the disc being all scratched up since I bought it for $6 cheaper?

Unfortunately hastings prices fluctuate a lot. But it has nothing to do with the condition of the game you are receiving. I've ordered a total of 12 games from them, and a few of them the prices went up after I made the purchase, but the quality was all about the same for me.
