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]

[quote name='arcane93']Oh, sorry. I got so caught up in your little "don't call me El Hoardo even though I clearly know I'm hoarding (otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up in the first place)" rant that I totally missed that you were buying sale games with your "earnings".[/QUOTE]

What is your problem? I only buy one game of each and trade them into gamestop. I don't think qualifies as hoarding. At most sometimes ill buy one for myself and one to trade.

regular, free, shipping takes 2 days processing, and 5-10 for delievery. Most times it could get to you in 3-4 days possibly, but my last order took 5 days.

Yea, I put an order in a couple of days ago at 7am. By 3pm they already had the shipping information for me and it's shipping USPS. Not sure if it's Media Mail (which I was told you can't use on games by my local Post Office and I argued that... but if you did would take 5-9 days), Parcel Post or First Class (my guess would be First Class).

I've noticed on my last couple of order's they've processed them pretty fast.... Fast enough I couldn't even cancel it a couple hours on one. LOL!
 
Got my Disgaea 3 in the mail yesterday and luckily it was a sealed copy. Just waiting and hoping for a price drop on the DLC.
 
Just ordered Afro Samurai

got it for 2.99

Used 15new coupon, added 99 cent used game to push the total over 10.00 and the 15New coupon stacked with a 10 off future order coupon I received awhile ago.

After tax and everything I still had .52 cents of the 10 dollars that didn't get used...it would not take it off the 2.99 shipping total however.

Actually, in most cases of lost cards, you'll have to bring in a copy of a Game Informer you got in the mail so they can get your card number and supply you with a new one. Otherwise, you're SoL.
 
Having fun means you are still doing it, meaning you've done it more then once. If you HAD fun doing it would say you did it in the past. HAVING fun means you did it and plan on doing it some some more...

Your logic is undeniably retarded.

why? most of the time I usually just go in there without any card at all and give them my name and number. And the whole sticker was off my Edge card and they just put another on for me?

do you mean the number is on the actual card, so it'd be different from my issue? if so then nvm and that makes sense i guess
 
[quote name='IronsideGrunt']I am getting impatient as I am noticing a couple of the games I want the stock is getting pretty thin, yet, I dont want to buy it this week and next week it drops.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I feel the same way. The sale is not really worth it for me until they start to mark stuff down, then I'll be happy to give them a little bit of my money.
 
Do you guys know if the gamedays sticker is hard to take off (will it leave any residue?). And is the GD10 online coupon not working anymore?
 
[quote name='mook8515']Do you guys know if the gamedays sticker is hard to take off (will it leave any residue?). And is the GD10 online coupon not working anymore?[/QUOTE]

I have always delt with residue unless your REAALLLL careful and even then if it rips the wrong way your screwed.

HOWEVER, residue has no chance against the mighty GOO GONE (available pretty much everywhere - Walmart, Home Depot etc.).

Remember the residue (or maybe not) that was left behind by VHS tape rental VOID stickers? That stuff got that out pretty easily, so GS stickers are a piece of cake with Goo Gone.
 
I was thinking about getting WoW: Wrath of the Lich King, are PC games guaranteed to be new in the box with manuals and key or do they have the possibility of being gutted like console games? Might just end up getting it from amazon since it's $29.99 with free shipping there too.

Don't do it!
 
[quote name='lakesideflight']sooo pc games are gutted/not completely brand new?[/QUOTE]

I think he was just inferring that you shouldn't buy WoW.

I concur.
 
[quote name='gantt']I had that experience with Persona 4 when it was on sale for $19.99 a month or two ago (before GameDays). One store said it had it in stock, I called, they said they hadn't had it for a long time and people were calling them, but they claimed there was nothing they could do about the system showing that they had it in stock.

People have to realize that GameStop is basically held together with dental floss and monkey poo.[/QUOTE]


Or the employees are to lazy to look in the drawer or system to see if they have the game. There are at least 30 instances where the web site said the store had a game, and the store employee say no they don't have said game instock. Only for me to walk into the store and see the game right there on the shelf. See what people don't realize is most gamestop employees do this. Rather than check, they will say they don't have said game, only for it to be collecting dust on their shelves.

Here is an instance what happened.

When GS sold psx games I asked them if they had Tactics Ogre for the psx, since the website said they did. The employee automatically said no, well since I was going to the mall where the gamestop was anyway in 10 mins I figured I'd stop in. well 15 mins passed since I called and what was on the shelf directly infront of the employee? A copy of Tactics Ogre, whats funny is the game was on the shelf right infront of the register, where the phone is. Clear as day, even Mr. Magoo would have been able to see it. I snidely said to the employee oh thought you didn't have the game. He gave me some bs about it just coming in a few mins ago. I said really, and called him on it, buy pointing at the huge pile of games that came in that day, that weren't price tagged yet. I then called the DM complained, and the guy got fired.

Since that day if a GS employee tells me automatically they don't have something listed on the website as in stock at the store, without checking. i just tell them if I come in and they have it on the shelf I'll just call corporate, and tell them about it. It usually scares them into checking, and 92% of the time they will have said game instock. I only use that threat if they don't check and automatically say no. Even though the website says they have it.

You sound like an amazingly pleasant and fun person. Did it make you feel big and strong to get that guy fired because he might have been overwhelmed? Or did you make that part up (the more likely scenario)? I can't imagine why they don't enjoy dealing with you. Also, how'd you come up with that 92% number? What's your sample size? I'd like to hear more about your scientific study.

To contribute on topic; the manager at my local GS said that a few additional games would be pricedropping at the end of this week, and they might start sticking clearance prices on a few of the games that haven't sold very well despite the sale. The GS near me pretty much has stacks of Wii titles, and very few PS3 or 360 games worth getting.

LMAOROF!!

So is the site always right with used game inventory? If that's the case I'm pissed that most the stores in my area said they had Just Cause 2 :ps3: and when I called they didn't have it. I know that employees will put you on hold to make you think your looking for something and putting effort into it (while over whelmed and helping someone else).

Do you mean additional price drops on the current Game Days sale games, or that they're going to be adding some additional games to the sale?

As for the accuracy of the online stock checker -- I can tell you that it's not always accurate. Perhaps even frequently not accurate when it comes to older/rarer titles. I've gone into GameStop stores more than a few times looking for games that have been listed online as being in-stock, and had very helpful GameStop employees (I know, "helpful GameStop employees" is usually an oxymoron, but there are exceptions) assist me in looking for them for quite a while, only to find nothing.

I rounded out of the 40 past experiences. 3 times they told me the truth, when they automatically said no. I realized it was like 92.5% but I just rounded down. Actually most of the GS employees in my area like me. He was wasn't to overwhelmed to be laughing, and talking with his friends, while the store had 1-2 customers in it. If that was overwhelming him he picked the wrong business to get a job in. The game was right infront of him directly across from the register at eye level if standing up. Recently in the past year and a half it hasn't really happened. If you want I can name all of the games that a GS employee said they didn't have instock just for me to find it on the shelf.

But I also have to admit this was also the place that was stealing pre-order bonuses as well., and has since closed. I used to pre-order with them since I was going out there often to the movies with friends. But since there was a nicer movie theater near my house I have been going to the GS closer to my house.

No it didn't make me feel big or strong. I just wanted the employee to do his job. All it would have taken was 30 seconds for him to check. If you can do that, then lie to my face when the game is instock, and infront of you this whole time. Well then yes I will get mad and call the DM, or corporate. I wouldn't have called the DM on him if he wouldn't have lied to my face and said it just came in a few minutes ago. All he had to do was own up and say he didn't check or just not say anything at all.

I don't know about you bkerlee but I don't like being lied to. You may like it, but I don't. I don't regret my actions that day one bit. so if that makes me a bully then I'm a bully then, cause I wouldn't tolerate being lied to, and called the DM

No not all of the time, but it usually is right. My figures are from me rare game hunting in my area. But usually if they check and they say no then they usually don't have it instock. But if they automatcally say no, with out checking, then you got a good shot at it being instock. Atleast that is the way it usually happens in my cases, when they say they don't have a game instock with out checking, only for me to find said game on the shelf.

I'm just giving you grief; you just sounded like you were really happy to get that guy fired. Nobody likes getting lied to, that's for sure. Its good to hear that you were taken care of by the DM, though. When I worked for GS (years ago, when they were EB) the DM in my area didn't care about anything...he never really did much for customers at all. Actually, that whole job sucked, but anyway...

...I wouldn't be surprised to see a few additional games go on sale in this week's ad, and possibly some additional markdowns on games that are currently on sale. They're probably going to start picking up steam as the promotion draws to a close.

Edit: GS's online inventory isn't good, because it doesn't always account for stolen games/games not checked in correctly/the position of the sun in the third house during the seventh cycle. Depending on the GS, they will sometimes check, but it's best to go in person if possible.

Now to decide if I want to hunt down the Genesis collection or wait to see if it drops a little lower. Decisions, decisions.
 
How come there haven't been reports of further price decreases without the use of codes? That is what they did last year. After a few weeks, the prices would drop little by little.

I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone know if the prices for the Gameday games going to drop?
 
[quote name='lolwut?']Has anyone bought Sacred II or Bayonetta online recently? If so, did you get a sealed copy?[/QUOTE]

I bought the 360 version of Sacred 2 online last week, and it came this week. It was factory sealed.
