GS FAQ​

How many copies of a game can I trade in?
​You are allowed to trade in 4 copies of a game (per system) within a rolling 30 day period.

What do I need to trade in an older console?​

​​

the console, power cable, av cable, and controller; sometimes they don't care about USB charge cable but ymmv. 3ds xl trade would be console, charger, stylus. Some have reported being charged refurb fee for a stylus, but again ymmv (answer stolen from anarchyburger)​

FAQ will be entered when those questions get asked frequently.​

I bet Gamestop is increasing the MSRP to those Xbox One backwards compatable games right now. I give it before the end of the day.

 

[skateraXVIII]

GFY GS!

Yeah I'm gonna go out on a branch and say it's not GS's fault, and instead due to your own negligence.

 

[rdigit]

So just hit up a Cali GS and was told Im banned, lol. Called CS and they have no clue either. Any possibility it has to do w being from Out of state? Im certain I havent traded over $2k in last 30days. Oh well, time for countermeasures, renew pro, get b2g1, then go Elite.

GFY GS!

Were you participating in CSAC promotion? Did you get more than $500 cash?

Yep picked up the most of the upcoming bc games, lol sucks that they don't carry mercenaries: playground of destruction and that's the one I really wanted.

Never ever have done cash!

 

[rdigit]

Never ever have done cash!

Interesting! Check your receipts. I got my first ban when they accidentally marked me trading in the wrong item, and that put me at 5 of that item.

NICE gta is on sale for 30$. been waiting for this......finally its paid off!

 

[Dranakin]

New weekly ad is up: https://www.gamestop.com/weeklyad

Notably, the TiV for the consoles are directly listed, so they should hold at least until April 10th (GameSpot had an article stating that the values should hold until April 15th).

As mentioned by Gamespot much earlier and now confirmed by the new weekly ad, the TiV for current gen consoles at GameStop will hold until 04/15.

 

[ZenithRequiem]

Anyone know what’s required to trade in an elite controller?

 

[WWF]

Feels like there was a long run of weeks where the Xbox X had a bunch of freebies. I regret not getting that good eBay one weeks back.

I suppose they think taxes are coming back so they can sell em plain.

Maybe a month from now it’ll get the big spring price drop the old model was used to.

Funny you mention this. I've been waiting for them to drop the price of the used version, so I may actually pick it back up.

Did the extra 50% trade in California end yesterday? Can't locate the email details anymore..

 

[arsenalcrazy8]

Anyone not able to order off the GameStop website right now? It seems to be more frequent this happens. I keep getting an error at checkout. Same thing happened last week but it cleared in 24 hours. I don’t think I’m banned...

No, it ends on the 22nd.

Worked for me going through the app.

 

[arsenalcrazy8]

Thanks, worked for me finally after the umpteenth time of trying. I removed one specific game and then it went through though not sure if it was a coincidence.

 

[johnnymavrik]

No, it ends on the 22nd.

Thanks!

I have a B2G1 coupon for finally renewing pro and wanted to make sure I could get some credit loaded beforehand.

Is GS still doing the 4 for $10 or 4 for $20? Is it just in store or is it also online?

 

[starmask2k3]

whens the great deal on a xbox one X and trade-in deal on trading an xbox one S for an X

 

[Sigma]

Is GS still doing the 4 for $10 or 4 for $20? Is it just in store or is it also online?

The one by me was still doing 4 for $10 on $4.99 or less PS3/360 games. I was unfortunately not able to find 4 games worth getting the other day. Mostly old sports games and everything else on the end cap worth getting was $9.99, but they weren't doing the 4 for $20 on them.

 

[FamedGuardian]

The 4/$10 is advertised in today’s ad, so it should last through next Tuesday.

website says only in stores

 

[Macedon911]

Target trade in website glitch. Works only on front-page. 

https://targettrade-in.com/online/Home/CategorySelected.rails?enc=rS0NYl9Jkk64EJYo/UNjiQ==

If they honor their prices, it could be a great way to move GS > Target credit (doubt they will but it is worth a try). You can pull it up on your phone to show it in store.

Example:

Battlefield 4 trades in for $26.97 if you open the link up from the video games trade in home page.

[WWF]

Weird. Battlefield and Creed cost too much to make it worthwhile unless you just wanna move credit.

How would they ring up prestige COD different from the base game? Do they expect you to trade the camera and wrist band thing, or just the steel book and game (cause that’s the hardened edition basically which trades for less.)

I’d happily rebuy a $16 copy of the base game, toss it into the steelbook I kept, or even the jumbo box the camera came in, and get $52 for it.

 

[Kotor15]

Black Flag for $29.99? Damn, Gamestop has a time machine back to Black Friday 2014.

 

[Larry Davis]

When trading in a console, do I need an HDMI cable? And if so, will any one do? I don't have the original, but I do have a spare one clearly marked as "DISH Network" on the cable :v

You need it, any will do.

 

[Larry Davis]

Alright, thanks.

 

[The 7th Number]

Can i buy the digital deluxe version of God of war in store? And will the 40% trade in bonus count towards the dd version?

 

[fredyyy]

silly question, is there a limit on how many times I can re-new my elite membership?

 

[gamerdad101]

Not that I've found. One of my accounts is good through 2025. You may get an employee that will say something but you would be hard pressed to find someone to deny you since it's good for their numbers.

 

[Jurai]

picked up Wipeout Omega Collection since Gamestop New is cheaper than anywhere else, and the physical is seemingly going OOP, turned out to be Gamestop "New" but at least the dlc code was good

 

[kube00]

Anyone know when the 4 for $10 ends?

 

[rdigit]

Just received my first "new" game (aka not factory sealed) in the mail today. Very annoyed, definitely returning.

 

[lildirtygamer]

Anyone know when the 4 for $10 ends?

It's either 4/22 or 4/24, can't remember exactly. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[MellowSky]

I'm about to hit the $500 cash limit on my account. Am I able to use my brothers account to trade? My stores check I.D for cash trades only. 

 

[WWF]

Minor stealth bump? Lego Marvel, Zero Dawn, Paradise Remastered among those I noticed, but not the usual Zelda, etc.

 

[Helldweller87]

Yeah there is defiantly a bump. PVZ2 on xbox jumped up to a $18.50 base.

 

[mychalmatthews3]

Is there anyway to check all the Gamestops for a certain item?

 

[Joe Fongul]

https://www.gamestop.com/trade/Browse/N-0Z1z13laj?Ntt=mwtapril18

This might help to fish out games with the Stealth Bump currently

 

[FamedGuardian]

I really hope this isn’t the extent of the mid-month bump...decent TIV on PvZ2, but I’m hoping Zelda goes back up.

 

[cancerman1120]

Most of what I own took a big shit in TIV today.

 

[xactoly]

Yes Mario, Yes! A bump for Mario is Odd-Eye-See!

 

[buddha_mjs]

Whats the deal with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 for PS3? The app says base TIV of $5, Elite value of $12. The website also says $12 elite but $10 base. Something special about this shitty sports game I don't know about? Tiger Woods in the news again?

 

[buddha_mjs]

Now that I'm looking, I see lots of Elite pricing weirdness... mostly on ps3 games. Sonic all star racing transformed base $10 Elite $14.40. Assassins creed base 75 cents elite 60 cents. Advanced warfare base $1 elite 90 cents... weird.

 

[rdigit]

Base is all that matters as far as I'm concerned. Also don't trust app values, especially if you saved them. Double check on site

 

[beaubalon]

Values suuuuuuuuuck right now. Wait for a real bump

 

[FamedGuardian]

Wondering if this “bump” is because of the cash=credit promo right now. GS doesn’t want to hand out a bunch of cash...my guess anyway. Hoping something good happens after the 22nd.
