ALL INFO AND DEALS FOR GAMERUSH (pm/post with any suggestions)

If your in the Oklahoma City area stop by my store at Nw 50th and MacArthur (for now). If your a flipper/scammer at least spare my store the crap titles unless its for presales...thanks. If your good I may hook up with with a special "modification" to a current deal that you may greatly enjoy...

Please note in the next few weeks I will be changing stores to Hefner and Rockwell. They needed the help and while I like my store the pay raise was justifiable and my current sm is moving to pittsburg.

This is a general range of what GameRush will give you for the game you're trading in. Obviously not all games will be like this, but it should be close.

This is becoming less common very quickly. Probably down to about 50% accurate.

$1.99 / $.25
$2.99 / $.50
$4.99 / $1.00
$6.99 / $1.50

Can't think of anything to pre-order? Here's some ideas that are in the system... Credit to spin 03 and ksuwild25

OTHER INFO

They also have coupons in magazines for great deals, so be sure to check EGM, GamePro, and several other magazines.

GameRush is starting to expand, so check the store locator every once in awhile to see if one is coming to an area near you.

All BlockBuster's should now accept trades, so the trade in prices for BB and GR should be similar, but normal BBs will not always have the deals that GameRush has.

GameRush accepts game trades without case and instructions and the games can be in poor condition depending on the employee.

You must have a BB account and sign a trade agreement to trade at GameRush.

Please be careful if you scam GameRush (by flipping games) they do have the abillity to ban you from all GameRush locations if they want to (and as I have done but that was only because I was tired of crap PS1...).

Release dates - Go by the shipping date. 9 times out of 10 it is not what the Blockbuster computer says. The computer date is when traditional stores can expect to receive their rental games.

Game Rush receives games typically on Tuesday and Wednesday of the games release. Only reason EB and Gamestop get them a day before is because they get special shipments or their dm picks the games up and brings back that evening (or they are near distribution centers).

Some games have street dates but this is few and far between (outrun 2, halo 2, star wars episode 3, doom 3 are it in the past 6 months).

Pariah is getting $35.

I traded in:
Star Wars Episode 3: $35
NBA Live 2004 (x2): $8
Portal Runner: $1

And for $11.00, I pre-ordered Shadow of Colossus and Advent Rising.

Anyone know if they have any Xbox 2 games in the system? I saw the release sheet and they still did not have SW: Battlefront 2 on it.

Anyone know the trade in value of Hitman: Contracts and Deus Ex?
 
[quote name='omfglol']At my Gamerush (Stow, OH) they stated last weekend that the trade 3-get-$5-bonus deal was long since over...not that the deals weren't stackable. Hrm.[/QUOTE]
Who told you that? What did they look like? That's my regular GR and I just went this past Saturday and did it fine. Tall dude with glasses and side burns named John is the manager for the GR section, try and get him if he is there next time. They've been training a lot of new people over the past few weeks so they might just have not known.

OK, so there is a definite trend here in that store policies/deals/changes seem not to be very well communicated to the staff - each deal is YMMV in various ways with different staff around. This happens at all stores to some extent - but it seems fairly rampant at GR these days! Hopefully it isn't everyone being all jittery over Blockbuster's future (just read an article in the paper about some fighting at the board level and concern over the viability of BB - I hope they last until I can get a PS3 or Revolution with all my trade credit :D).

Wrong. Pariah is getting only $26 before bonus.
 
[quote name='io']

So, CoryCubed, the return policy is that new items can be refunded? Wonder why she had to "note it on my account" to allow me to return then? Maybe she was just being careful. Oh well, I'll expect that part to be no problem then - thanks. Any ideas why she said they got in trouble for the double-dipping? This might just be with their manager (who I *never* see any more). This GR is not in a district so I'm not sure who he reports to (ie, no district manager). Edit: Now that I think about it I know the manager has done the stacked deals for me himself, though not in a month or so.[/QUOTE]


New items can be returned only if they are unopened. You can only receive the refund back in the way you payed for it (credit, cash, check, card, etc.).

She probably noted the account as Blockbuster is being really picky lately with "credits" and is just covering her bases. Also if someone tries to say different if its not her checking you out next time its their for them to see.
 
These are the value I got on Sunday. These are before the $5 bonus:

Unison - PS2 - $1.50
Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance - Xbox - $8.00
Resident Evil: Code Veronica PS2 - $1.50
Mega Man Anniversary Collection PS2 - $8.00
Conflict Desert Storm II Xbox - $7.00
Zone of the Enders PS2 - $1.50
Soul Calibur II Xbox - $8.00
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Xbox - $8.00
R: Racing Evolution Xbox $5.00
Primal PS2 - $1.50

These I did on the side towards new games:
King of Fighters: Maximum Impact PS2 - $18.00
Grand Theft Auto III xbox - $5.00
Contra: Shattered Soldier PS2 - $7.00
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty PS2 - $1.50

All in all, it was pretty good.
 
I found out that the GR manager at the store I frequent was fired for stealing credits from customers accounts. Make sure you get all your credit on a value card because once the credit is gone, there is no way for it to be given back since it will only say what was bought but not who bought it. Make sure you know how much is on your account and check frequently.

Yeah there is some infighting on the board of BB corporate. If BB is doing so bad, then why are the people in corporate making fat bonuses? I wish I had a job where I was part of profit sharing... sigh. I just hope BB stays around for a while, I have made some friends with the csrs there.

Anyone know what Donkey Konga 2 is getting? I'm really not digging the tracklist, and since this gives me my 4th set of drums, I really don't need the game.

[/QUOTE]

Just to add something to this.

Some store managers maybe into the old ways or some may get greedy to cut down on their credits. Blockbuster does have a clause stating that credits on accounts are only valid for 180 days.

I caught my store manager last week doing this and I had to make sure she wasn't doing this with trade in credit as for now blockbuster does not differentiate the credit on the account from credits for defective movies and whatnot. Accidents do happen and its very easy to get credits confused on accounts.

This is another reason you should always get a value card.
 
[quote name='omfglol']Tall, glasses, thinning light brown hair--let me return Area 51 for Burnout 3 tho, so eh.[/QUOTE]
That's him. He's the only tall guy with glasses that works there all the times I've been there over the past 6 months. Very strange. He was the one that talked the BB manager through what games I could use to do it for me Saturday. I have no idea why he said that to you.

Yeah, went in today and had no problem returning it and getting $29.99 credited back (this was the Shadow Hearts Covenant that I bought for that much not a trade 2 get new for $30 deal). The double-dip, however, is officially dead here. I think I know why - they shuffled employees all over the region, and the GR got a new manager who I think made the change. I saw one of the GR guys at my local BB today (where he got transferred) - he wasn't happy about changing stores.

Funny thing is this new manager (or assistant manager) came from another regular BB that I traded in a few games to just 2 weeks ago. At the time he knew nothing of the $5 bonus deal and I had to show him the signs hanging above him to clue him in on it. Now he's the GR manager or assistant manager at least (he seems to be in charge of the other people who have been there a while anyway). Wonderful...
 
Well I'm trying to get the last few pre-orders before the deals change.

Does anyone know the trade in value of Rayman DS or Hitman: Contracts?
 
hey guys what's a good game to pick up at TRU using the 20 % off coupon that gets a good trade credit at Gamerush? I need to stock up on games for the trade 3 get a used game for $5 deal.
 
[quote name='jkircos']Does anyone know the trade in value of Rayman DS or Hitman: Contracts?[/QUOTE]

I see Contracts is being sold at $12.99 or so preowned. So I dont think you'll get more than $10 after bonus $5.
 
I saw a used Everquest Online Adventures on the shelf today marked $1.99...a good candidate for the upcoming trade 3 get one for $5.
 
[quote name='Renegade_Zero']hey guys what's a good game to pick up at TRU using the 20 % off coupon that gets a good trade credit at Gamerush? I need to stock up on games for the trade 3 get a used game for $5 deal.[/QUOTE]

Powerpuff Girls Relish Rampage for GC (one TRU near me had it for $9.98 a while back but ran out and at another I just got one a few days ago for $10.98). It trades for $23 with the bonus. Just DON'T GET the PS2 version - it will only fetch $8 or something. I had traded a few of these in very early during the $5 bonus and kind of forgot about it. I should have gotten a few more from TRU - it (still) is almost as good as Constantine (used to be).

So, today I went to the regular BB (with the former GR employee now there) and got $23 for GC PowerPuff, $10 for PS2 Auto Modellista, $12 for PS2 MAT1 (thanks Best Buy and CAG!), and $8 for PS2 NBA Live 2004 ($53 credit for $22 spent, one of my better ratios!). Nothing new about the last 3 - just confirmations on there being no price drops this week. I am surprised they haven't dropped Powerpuff, but I guess the game has been out for a while and probably not that many have come in nationally, so they've had no reason to drop it.

I will need to make another Best Buy trip to get one more MAT1 to save for future preorders, but other than that I think I might take a break from running all over town for a bit!
 
So, the final tally for my preorders and new game purchases during the 2 overlapping deals is:

GC
Legend of Zelda
NCAA Football 2006

PS2
Burnout Revenge
Final Fantasy XII
Gran Turismo 4
Jak X
Kingdom Hearts 2
Psychonauts
Radiata Story
Ratchet Deadlocked
Shadow of Colossus
Star Wars Ep. III

NDS
Kirby Canvas Curse

PSP
Death Jr.
Gran Turismo Mobile
Hot Shots Golf (no double-dip on this one)
Jak & Daxter
Lumines
NFL Street 2 Unleashed
Untold Legends

All for an average out-of-pocket cost of about $13 (so without the $5 bonus the cost would have been $23, which is still good but not quite as sweet - if only I had managed my purchases/trades a bit better I could have gotten that average down under $10!). Not bad. Can't help feeling a bit sad that the deal is over and probably will never be repeated (at least the combo of the two deals at my GR anyway).

If I had to pick between the two, I'd definitely take the trade 2 for $30 deal - so I am very glad that is continuing all summer. It is just that without the $10 bonus per title it makes it a bit more difficult to choose which to get (plus I've been spoiled for so long!). For several of the games on my list above, I have no idea if I'll like them, but could afford to take a chance. I will have to be a bit more selective and get only A-list titles from now on.

Ones I'm pretty sure I want:
NDS - Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, new Mario Bros. (lots of other games I'm keeping my eyes on but I'm worried my GR has stopped getting DS games entirely - no Pac-Pix, no Star Wars Ep. III)
PSP - Burnout Legends, Tales of Eternia
PS2 - Tales of Legendia
GC - Mario Baseball

Must have missed that thread...what about MAT1 at Best Buy?
 
[quote name='Zon27']Must have missed that thread...what about MAT1 at Best Buy?[/QUOTE]

Just that it is $5 after the PS2/PSP coupon that someone posted here (along with any other $9.99 Best Buy game). It just happens to have the best GR trade value of any of the ones I've seen though. Most of them are $1.50 trades, a few $5. It is the only $7 one (that I know of), so it is still worth trading after the $5 deal ends if you need filler. For those who don't know: MAT1 = Midway Arcade Treasures 1. It seems to be a likely price drop candidate though so hopefully anyone who finds out will keep the rest of us informed.

I tried to trade in my copy of Everquest a few months back and they wouldn't take it, said it wasn't in the system even tho they had a used one for sale. Just a warning so you don't wind up wasting 2 bux. ..
 
I HAVE THE NEWS! I'm on an extremely short break so this will be brief.

The Trade 3 preowned get 1 for $5 is confirmed. it is on the new trade flyers as well. I have barcodes and everything. It begins May 17 and should go till September 5!. All the usual restrictions apply and cannot be combined with any other offer.

Also I have semi-confirmation of the other deal that someoned mentioned. My district manager (who just left) told me about it that it was going to be 5 for $25 on any preowned under $10 (9.99 downwards).

There's some other deals as well. All preowned ps1 will go to 5 for $15 and new PS1 is going to be buy 1 get 1 free. A few others but I gotta get back.

BTW I start my new store beginning next week...
 
Thanks for the update Cory. For those of us lacking in the GameRush department, what are the odds that these deals will also be in effect at BlockBuster (specifically the 3 for $5 deal)?

I have a feeling this means that none of the games selling for $9.99 or less will be allowed as trade-ins for the trade 3, get one for 5 promo.
 
hey i have a question about this trade in 3 get a PPV for $5. this might be obvious, but do you still get the credit on the 3 games, or not? thanks, sorry if this is stupid question. great deal if you do get credit

yes, you still get the credit for the 3 games you trade in.

[quote name='Ugamer_X']Are they taking PS1 games for the "trade in 3 get one for $5" like they did last time? Or am I just dreaming?[/QUOTE]

no.
 
[quote name='xspeedracerx']How much are they giving for Star Wars Republic Commando now? I need to know ASAP. Thanks[/QUOTE]

That's three times you've asked...why not just call the store and find out?
 
[quote name='Engineer_J']I picked up DS Star Wars Episode III, even preordered it[/QUOTE]

Yeah, for some reason, the manager at my GR has it in his mind that DS games don't sell. I know I've bought 4 there (2 new, 2 used) but maybe I'm the only one.

According to what has been said previously, you're just dreaming.
No wrestling, previous year sports titles, or pre-current generation games.

It really puts a damper on the greatness of the promo. :cry:
 
Yeah no ps1.

Also my DL mentioned that we'll be having a huge % of sale on a lot of the older new items. No word when that or the other deal starts.

As for the other deals they all begin Tuesday. Also many markets should be getting coupons in their newspapers. (from the look of the paper it was the major gr districts except Oklahoma City/Tulsa area).

Buy 2 preowned get 1 free also begins the 17th.

I'll update the op here by the end of the weekend.
 
damn, wish i werent going to stockton and then to lake tahoe next week. hope there are some pickings when i get back.

Has anyone gotten the midway arcade treasures with their preorder of area 51?
 
I believe it will be good at all stores and I don't see why the barcodes wouldn't work (if they have a gr near by you could just say well I saw it at another store can you see?)

As for the other 5 for $25 deal I don't see why it wouldn't work on the trade 3 get preowned for $5 unless Blockbuster actually took some time to properly configure and update their pos for it.

Yes I got it, I went in there expecting to have to argue about it, but I didn't even have to bring it up, they just handed both games to me. Some however have reported not getting the MAT2, so it is YMMV.

Corey, do you have any specific info on what these coupons are?
 
[quote name='spin03']is burnout legends (PSP) in the system. game looks amazing[/QUOTE]

I asked yesterday and they couldn't find it.
 
[quote name='CoryCubed']Yeah no ps1.

Oh man, I keep trying to get out and they keep pulling me back in!!! The huge % off sale on older new titles sounds great. Combine that with the trade profit I've built up and I could be getting some of these games dirt cheap. Unfortunately I've bought quite a few 'older' new PS2 titles already from Gamerush. Now I need to think about returning a few and waiting for this deal... I had no intention of playing them any time soon anyway. Hmmm... Of course you will post as soon as you know more details, I'm sure. I just wish they had a better selection of Gamecube games. There are some GBA games I might pick up though if the discount is good enough (say at least 20%, or buy 1 get 1 50% which would be awesome for the new games).

I assume, also, that the trade 2 get a new/preorder for $29.99 is remaining in place as you stated a while back? No mention of that recently so I want to be sure.

Thanks for all the info CoryCubed - now to plan if/when I want to return some more of my new games and take a chance on them still being there if and when the discount comes... Hmmm...
 
[quote name='camelking6969']i will have to take a week off work, but could have new xbow paid for in 2 days and a psp and any stinkin games i want:D[/QUOTE]

Couldn't you have done this with the $5 bonus already (Buy cheap new games, trade in at GR)? Or are you talking about doing it for minimal cash out of pocket by flipping games between GR/BB's? I feel bad enough trading in (as used) brand new games I got other places at GR and BB that I don't think I could handle flipping used ones, but that's just me... I'll admit to doing ONE flip - when there were 2 used games I wanted at GR but they had the buy 2 get 1 sale, I picked a third game just to take to the local BB to trade in - I sure wasn't gonna pass up a free game! :D
 
[quote name='camelking6969']hmmmm, i hope block buster stays in buisness[/QUOTE]

If they dont, I wonder who could be to blame...

Oh yeah, YOU.

For god's sake man, dont kill the goose that lays golden eggs. And if you do (which it sure seems you have no problems with, flipper) dont come whining when it all goes down the tubes.
