Game Crazy May MVP Event - Buy 2 (used) get 1 free

GameCrazy's the best game store there is! I decided to go use some of my store credit for this deal and picked up 21 games! I can't remember them all, but I got:

for 50 + tax:
-Animal Crossing
-Viewtiful Joe
-Campcom vs. SnK 2 EO

for 50 + tax:
-Mario Golf
-Panzer Dragoon Orta
-Suikoden III

for 40 + tax
-F-Zero GX
-Harvest Moon
-Eternal Darkness GC

for 30 + tax
-Pikmin
-Splinter Cell XB
-Armored Core 2

for 30 + tax
-Ico
-Syberia
-MechAssault

for 30 + tax
-Starfox Adventures
-Return to Wolfenstein
-Ratchet and Clank

All the games were in mint condition, not even a scratch on them. You'll never get that at GameStop or EB!
 
I made a trek and it was okay.

I got SOCOM II (mint) and NBA Street vol.2 and Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 for $50.

Street and Hoffman didn't have manuals and were pretty banged up. Not the best deal ever, but three games (one pretty new) for $50 doesn't suck.
 
Bump to remind everyone that Monday is the last day. Also, I was disappointed to learn that they use the normal price, rather than the MVP price for this deal, it cost me an extra $5.

Well, this is a MVP Event

Which means only MVPs can get it, but why would one assume that means it bumps MVP prices up to non-MVP prices?
 
Some stores give MVP prices on top of the Buy 2 Get 1 Free, some don't. It is actually in print that it states you cannot receive MVP discount on top of getting 1 free, makes sense.

SUNDAY is the last day. It ends the 16th, not 17th.
 
hey gizmo, what this i hear about 30% off selected games starting the 21st?? Which games are gonna be the selected?
 
Well, the more I think about it, the more upset I get. It seems like false advertising. Had I bought 2, the price would have been $6 less than what I paid, so it is not buy 2 get one free, it is buy 2 for more than you would ordinarily have to pay, get one free. It would be slightly different (i.e. I would be griping less) if they didn't have stickers on every game that say "MVP Price: $xx.xx". Those stickers imply that that is the normal price for members, and any "event" discount should therefore be taken from that price. I will be writing an email, and possibly a letter, to GameCrazy (no, I won't be mentioning CAG), but I don't really expect anything to come of it.
 
Whew, spent over 2 hours in GC yesterday attempting to use my remaining store credit. Same problem as before. Either did not have the game I was looking for, or they were in such poor condition, I passed. Ended up picking up Top Spin, Pokemon Channel and Crimson Sea at 22.99 each for the buy 2, get one free sale. Picked up F-Zero GX for $13.49 used. Also grabbed new copies of TMNT for XBox, Broken Sword for Xbox and Outlaw Golf for GCN. All new games were priced $19.99, but rang up as much as $20 higher at the register. I will give GC this, they did honor the $19.99 marked price, so I saved an additional $40 on the new games.

I would not recomend GC for used games due to the poor selection and quality, at least for the two locations in my area. I would recommend them for the absolute best trade-in values and for new games a hardware. I'll stick to EB B&M for my used games where the quality is much higher.
