GameStop Game Days Sale
Online only: Use coupon code GD10 for an extra 10% off

(3/26-4/25)
Sale is for NEW GAMES/ACCESSORIES ONLY
Begins Friday March 26th and Ends April 25th


Please visit http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/gamedays10/
for the most up to date and accurate list, although if you are visiting before 3/26/10 the sale prices may not be updated yet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS[hiddenlist]
Q. Why is Saw (360/PS3) $24.99 and not $19.99 like originally posted?
A. It seems the price was read wrong at first, or just assumed to be $19.99, as the accurate and final list has it listed for $24.99. The game is still garbage in my opinion, but is an easy 1000 Achievement Points / Platinum Trophy. I recommend renting it, or waiting for a lower price.

Q. WHERE IS THE 10% Game Day Sale Coupon????
A. The past few Game Day sales did have a 10% coupon inside the Game Informer magazines, However the current Game Informer (Portal 2 on the cover) that has the Game Day sale advertised DOES NOT have the coupon. No official word if a coupon will be given or exist at this time. Just keep checking the thread for updates from fellow CAGS. Perhaps it will be distributed in the next Game Informer (in April) or with the Weekly Coupon in the GameStop E-mails.

Q. Will the games be gutted? if so how do I get a SEALED copy?
A. Yes, stores always gut their games to put into the sale bin. YMMV on whether the store guts every copy, or just one of each copy of the game. Best advice, is to get their early on the first day in hopes they did not get around to getting all the copies yet. Some stores in my area seem to hate gutting multiple copies, and generally just gut one copy in general as a standard. Once again YMMV.

It's GameStop expect gutted copies, if anything try to price match with BestBuy since the prices will be posted online here: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/gamedays10/

Q. Why does GameStop GUT their games?
A. I assume it is obviously to prevent theft since they are a small retail store (space wise), and not like BestBuy. It is not cost effective for a company that operates in small locations to use security detectors (more cost), so the GUT method works for them. Just politely ask for a sealed copy if they have it, or just say no thanks. Please don't complain in the threads. Shit gets old. I hate gutted copies just like the next guy, but it is nothing new, just move on.

Q. Are the games on sale NEW or USED?
A. All games/accessories on sale are NEW. If a Buy 2 Get 1 Free does occur during the Game Day sale then that will be for USED games only.

Q. Will the USED prices drop because the NEW ones are on sale?
A. Depends, typically when a NEW game is on a temporarily price drop, the USED copy will stay at its current price. So Assassins Creed 2 which is on sale for $29.99 NEW during the sale, may still have a USED price of $54.99. However, there are times when they will drop the USED price as well to reflect the NEW price drop.

Q.
Where is the Buy 2 Get 1 Free on Used Games?
A. As far as I recall, GameStop usually holds a B2G1 Free at the beginning and/or end of the Game Days sale. I just got this list from fellow CAGs Driftninja & arcurifisher, and just organized it. Although the other threads have not 100% confirmed it as of 3/25/10, I think it is pretty safe to say there will be a B2G1 sometime during this Game Day sale. Check back for updates.

Q. These games on sale are horrible, any chance of better games being added?
A. Yes, I agree a good portion of the games are horrible, I mean "My Baby First Steps" seriously?. GameStop is known to add / remove games during the Game Day sales, so yes some new titles could be added, but don't expect it to be anything great, but you never know, maybe this year...

Q. Why were there so many threads on this sale?
A. Not sure why since I didn't make them, but don't flame the thread creators because it is just people trying to contribute to the CAG community. Just be polite please, and hopefully we will have a single thread to follow during the sale.[/hiddenlist]

Visited my neighborhood GS, but nothing there on my list except for a gutted Persona 4 which I decided to hold out on in case I can find a sealed one in another store.

Decided to order online instead using the 20XBOX 20% off code so I don't have to deal with the hassle of hunting down sealed copies.

Scored Call of Duty: World at War XB360 $17.99
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger XB360 $17.99
Call of Duty 4: Game of the Year Edition PS3 $19.99

Would have liked to get COD4:GOTY on XB360 to get the additional $2 coupon but unfortunately it's unavailable online. Hopefully they all arrive sealed. Have anyone ever received a gutted copy when ordering new games online? Sorry for asking, but this is my first order with them.

I answered this question earlier, but I'll answer it again.. yes there have been instances of gamestop.com shipping "new" gutted games, but in most cases they ship sealed games.
 
Picked up :ps3: BlazBlue after returning GoW3:UE. I have to say I'm pretty disturbed that the guy opened the sealed box and dumped everything out to make sure I wasn't scamming GS. Who would want to buy that now? Anyways, been looking forward to BlazBlue for awhile now.
 
ok - i was waiting on RE:Umbrella to go sub-$20, so I picked up the following Wii games...
RE:Umbrella
House of the Dead Overkill
Ghost Hunter
Rabbids Go Home
BUT, I chose the longest delivery time so that I could get further in Just Cause 2 before they arrive!
 
Thanks. Didn't want to read through all the pages for this sale. Hopefully they come in sealed. I know of reading horror stories regarding ordering used games online being severely scratched up so I never ordered from them for years. Maybe with new games, things will be safe.

The prices of the games were ok at best but when you factor in a coupon code is where it made it feel like a real deal. I picked up 3 new games (to get the fg10 coupon to work) and a used game. 4 games (3 which were new) w/ free 3 day shipping for 74 bucks I can deal with any day.
 
[quote name='ajumbaje']It's probably been talked about to death, but I just don't like them gutting the games for this sale then selling them as new[/QUOTE]

I honestly think one of the main reasons they do that is so people don't go and take them back to walmart and profit off of it (Can't lie... I've done it a few times myself. Not like Walmart is truly losing out and I'm a "cheap ass gamer"...LOL). Even though Walmart will only give you a gift card for the value of the game (in my area you can have up to 3 non-receipt returns a year w/ drivers license) you can then go and blow that on more games if you're like me.

I've been lucky so far and haven't had any problems with their used games.... If there is, their return policy is great and you can always take them back to a store (if there's one in your area).
 
[quote name='theking20']wth? it says my order of left 4 dead 2 shipped and the DC# is there, but when i clicked it, it said "Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site."
has anyone else gotten this message?

should i place a call to the customer service?
because after checking, it refunded me my gift card i used on the order, this is crazy, hope my order goes through, i want to play it again[/QUOTE]
Might wanna wait for tomorrow to roll around first before doing anything. Mail carrier sites tend to be nutty, especially after hours, on items regarded as "shipped."
 
I love all the Gamestops around my area. Had to go somewhere to run some errands so I figured I would drive to the Gamestop near where I was going. Went in and noticed that there was one gutted copy of each game. Turns out that this is one of the stores that guts only one copy and leaves the rest sealed. Ended up picking up that COD MW1 for $20 sealed. Also had a sealed Heavenly Sword.

Why would Gamestop care what you do with the games once you legitimately buy them?

Gutting is their lame way of handling theft, pure and simple. There are plenty of better ways they could handle it but it's how it is.
 
Thought the Gamedays sale would suck, but its been good. Got Persona 4 (non-gutted, still shrink-wrapped) for $15 from the store and managed to jump in on Left 4 Dead 2 for $18 online. Hoping more unexpected deals pop up.

How did you get Persona 4 for $15? I thought it was $20. I'm still looking for a non-gutted one myself but I have several more stores to check out.

Funny comment from the salesguy I spoke with. When I asked if they had a sealed one, they said "There's no way we still have a sealed copy. We open them up for the Game Day sales". Crazy way to run a chain. If you've got them sealed, leave them sealed. It's just wacko.
 
It would make sense for them to gut 1 copy and keep the rest sealed since they are either in the back or in the cases behind them. But that's not how they do things apparently. I've seen parents who come in to buy their kids a new game and they don't buy b/c its gutted. Especially if its a gift who wants a gutted game.
 
so how do people get away with 20xbox when u read the coupon plainly

Coupon 20XBOX - 20% off all in-stock XBOX 360 titles. Valid for first 2,000 customers only. Expires 11:59 am on 3/24/10.
 
[quote name='ajumbaje']It's probably been talked about to death, but I just don't like them gutting the games for this sale then selling them as new[/QUOTE]

They actually gut games just for this sale? They brought mines from the back sealed when I went this mornin'. As much as I hate goin' to GS these days, they never sold me a gutted game no matter how old it was.
 
As I mentioned before, I had some orders using the FG10 code canceled recently.

I did an order with a less lucrative code last night at midnight. It has just been reported shipped. Has anyone used the more lucrative codes and had their order shipped?
 
[quote name='kryptonic']I've been lucky so far and haven't had any problems with their used games.... If there is, their return policy is great and you can always take them back to a store (if there's one in your area).[/QUOTE]

It's nice to know. I purchased my first used games when they had their last B2G1F sale and I just like to buy them in-store. I'm so anal about these things, I try to find cases that are new-looking and check the quality of the discs before I leave the store. Anything with severe scratches I avoid. Yes, they are pretty good about returns and exchanges regarding used stuff.
 
This may have been mentioned in this thread, or another one, but for anyone who doesn't know, Amazon is matching the price on Bayonetta.

Gutted/"Gamestop new" copy + tax
vs
Brand new sealed copy w/no tax & free shipping

I had to go with Amazon on this one.
 
I'm headed to Gamestop right now to see if they got anything left for me. I hope they at least have some Halo 3 action figures in stock.
 
I got Blazblue and COD: World At War. $42.00-something with tax, which is not bad I guess.

I was going to buy Fallout 3, but something tells me the GOTY Edition will be on sale in a few months, and I don't want to spend half of my MS Points on DLC.
 
Got Bayonetta 'new' though the outer plastic was missing and the security sticker thing on the side was replaced by other stickers. I looked at the game and it looks new with no marks on it and the manual too so that's fine with me.

Well if you were sitting on some credit like a lot of people are after the 50% trade in promo and live in a state that doesn't charge tax on credit then it's pretty even I'd say. Plus if you're lucky enough to have a Gamestop like mine that only gutted one copy for display purposes and kept the rest sealed, even better.

I think we need a designated Gamestop thread Mod, to prevent all these posts about how they suck, how other places have better deals, etc etc. It gets pretty annoying to weed through all those posts when you're just trying to be thankful. Take it for what it's worth people and keep your negativity to yourselves! Please and thanks!
 
Picked up Afro Samurai & Bayonetta..I got there when they opened and the guy just gave me the copies he was about to open either way I wouldn't mind..they've always been good with returning stuff if it doesn't work at my GameStop.
 
Picked up :ps3:Blazblue and :ps3:Disgaea 3. Blazblue was sealed but sadly Disgaea wasn't but I can't complain at the price really.
 
So there's no B2G1F? That sucks... I really could have used one since my local GS has 3 games I want (all complete too).:whistle2:(

This year's sale really sucked harder than last year's. At least we got a B2G1F then.:whistle2:/
 
Wow... hearing all of these "they were out" and "I got the last copy" stories... I'm not going to disclose where I'm at, but I'm glad to live in an area where I'm sure there aren't any CAGs, or very many anyway. That is, at least if I can go by the one thread about what area you represent.

I never really have any of these "already gone" or "last copy" issues.
 
Ordered BlazBlu and Dissidia at Game Stop online, the B&M didn't have any sealed copies of either. I can wait a couple of days to experience opening it myself...
 
I picked up Alone In The Dark, Spider Man, Fallout 3 and Afro Sam, all for the 360. I would buy more, but my backlog is huge.
 
ok so if i buy CODWaW at that price what are the chances of a new edition with the map packs will come out soon..

all of that Fallout 3 DLC is on sale %50 off on XBL this week for Gold Members...think about it
 
For anyone who doesn't want a gutted copy of Bayonetta, Amazon is selling Bayonetta for 39.99. Might as well order it from Amazon to insure that you are going to receive a new sealed copy. I picked up XMen and Saw for 48 and change. Very good deal.
 
Placed my first online GS order.

:360:Left 4 Dead 2 - $13.60
:ps2:Indigo Prophecy - 7.55

Total (after tax and shipping) = $22.81 (paid in credit)

Designated Gamestop Thread Mod?
LOOOOOOOOOOL

its bad enough that we have gamestop managers posting and defending their store and sales.

and Heavens no!
Why would a forum about video game deals ever have posts pointing out that other places have better deals?

Cheapy, where did you ever go wrong?!
 
Should just have a GS subthread for big GS deals like this where people can complain about everything. Anyone complains people can just post a link response to them and have them go there instead.
 
That's why people make multiple threads actually. What is the point in coming in and shitting all over a thread on a round the clock basis? Don't you think people already know what to expect when shopping at Gamestop? Sure other places have better deals but as I've said countless times, people some times have credit to burn. You think GameStop sucks? Cool story bro, now take that shit to the designated hate thread and stfu. =D
 
[quote name='smarkbran']Fuel Shows for 19.99 on the site but in the op its 12.99? Can anyone confirm the B&M price?[/QUOTE]

$12.99 for the 360 version in socal , I grabbed the only copy which was of course gutted but there was/is a sticker on the cover art spine that wont come off :bomb:

While I am generally tired of the "ZOMG, GS SUCKS!!!" comments that almost every GS thread gets, the one that definitely is not an issue is when someone points out that a game can be had cheaper or for the same price elsewhere. That's simply informing the community.

The rest of the crap, though, definitely got old about a month after I joined CAG...over 2 years ago.
 
Does anyone know if online inventory gets re-stocked?

It's only the first day and some good stuff are sold out. Not sure how this sale is supposed to last a month like this...
 
Yeah I know, but when I'm reading the past 10 pages of the thread that I've missed and see the mention of it being cheaper on Amazon every 10 or so post, it gets pretty annoying. Not only that, but there's even a fresh thread on the first page of the deals forum that says "Sonic Genesis Collection 14.99$ PS3 Amazon" or w/e it gets kind of repetitive. I understand the whole trying to help the community concept, but even then this is a thread for Gamestop deals, not Amazon deals.

Anywho, I just have way too much free time on my hands right now, that's the only reason I've bothered posting lol. If anything, I'm just as bad as they are :p
