[quote name='MetalSlugger']I find it hilarious that they're having a weekend "spend your tax return" sale weeks before anyone will get their refund.[/QUOTE]

How about us poor suckers who owe the IRS? Does that mean I can sell GS my stuff for too much money? But actually if you efile and choose direct deposit it doesn't take all that long to get a refund anymore.
 
[quote name='crimsonassassin']What DRM does the D&D games use?[/QUOTE]

All are DRM free save for NWN 2, which uses Securom with unlimited activations. The client is only needed to download the games and doesn't act as an extra level of DRM.

Thanks to asheskitty for doing the research.
 
[quote name='starmask2k3']U forgot the B2G1 free on used games[/QUOTE]

There is no B2G1F on used games nationwide, except on PS2. Your store may have been doing one just for the weekend.
 
Great deals - i plan on taking advantage of the wii game, get 1/2 off 2nd so that i play all the wii games that i have missed out on so far, and in for a copy of Bully
Thanks OP!
 
[quote name='MSUHitman']When's the last time you've seen Bully or Witcher 2 XBox 360 disc versions for that price? Many of those PC downloads are also around the same as sale prices on Steam/Origin. Getting a free game with a full MSRP purchase of Far Cry 3 is also not the worst thing in the world.

Just wanted to post some other GS deals for those w/GameStop credit.[/QUOTE]

Got Witcher 2 for 10 dollars at Bestbuy.

Wait, there's a B2G1F on PS2 games?
 
[quote name='Vinny']Wait, there's a B2G1F on PS2 games?[/QUOTE]

My store has been doing it since Christmas. Maybe it's only select stores?
 
[quote name='Drclaw411']Is it weird that I refuse to buy used handhelds because of fingerprints?[/QUOTE]

You should really be worried about fecal matter.

They are when this goes live
 
[quote name='panda911']You should really be worried about fecal matter.[/QUOTE]

anyone know how to disinfect 'pre-owned' product? anti-bacterial wipes are OK for the case, but i'm talking about the insert, manual & disc. sunlight? ozone wand? auto-clave = no; stuff wouldn't do too well afterwards.

i normally buy new when available, but some titles are OOP, or available only as gutted GS 'display' copy. TIA.

These prices were live Sunday and no B2G1F going on, except for PS2.
 
[quote name='finstersucks']Most people who are broke and stupid spend their tax returns before they get it. Go to a cash advance or payday loan store and see how busy they are.
Btw I that Jackson Hewitt commercial.[/QUOTE]

I don't know if that's happening this year, since the IRS isn't even looking at tax returns til Jan. 30th at the earliest. Not sure how that affects anticipation loans.

Regardless, I agree that the name of the sale is a big fail on Gamestop's part. Doesn't change the actual sale itself, but it is pretty amusing.
 
[quote name='Vinny']Wait, there's a B2G1F on PS2 games?[/QUOTE]

PS2 and PSP games. Most stores have signs up, a couple don't but the sale is everywhere I've been to for the past couple weeks. You also can mix and match between the systems. Not sure if there's an end-date or if it already ended because I wasn't out this weekend.
 
Would this be a good time to buy the used vita? if you subtract the 39.99 tag of the memory card from 189. it would be 150 for the vita itself. should i wait?

If you are going to be a PS Plus subscriber, the sooner you get one the better. There are plenty of "free" games and you may miss out on some by waiting. Also, any future price drop probably won't be so significant that you'll be kicking yourself. It might be a $50 drop around E3.
 
[quote name='stillsmokin60']What's the point of a tax refund sale when the IRS doesn't even start processing returns until the 30th?[/QUOTE]

simple the american past time of maxing out the credit card
