if a game is guaranteed $25, does it still get a boost with a preorder?

Do we no longer get a buy 2 get 1 PO coupon when renewing Power up membership?

[jkimrey]

Does it show up in the app?

It's been about a month since I renewed.

Nintendo game? Be patient. It'll go up over 30 bucks before long.

Ive got 3 copies of the same game, two for PS3 and 1 for Wii. I should be okay trading them in all at once right?

Also I was really hoping the values might creep back up

ymmv on the 2 for PS3. I've got shot down in the last but other have had luck. Depends on the employee.

Official policy is only one title per platform at a time. So PS3/Wii at the same time should be fine, but you'd be better off trading in the second PS3 copy at a different store or at the same store but at a different time.

It says on the website that deadpool is $25 but the ap gives me less. Whats the deal? Will the $25 stack with the 20% bonus for preordering?

 

[MichaelBarroso]

if a game is guaranteed $25, does it still get a boost with a preorder?

It does not. I just tried this yesterday with smash bros. for the 3DS. It was showing up at $26.80 and when the employee added the Pre-order, in my case Doom, the price for Smash bros. came back down to about $22. Hope this helps.

Best Buy is having a sale which leads to some credit movers if you need it.

S4: Until Dawn $15.99 + tax - > $18.70 ($22.1 with 20%)

S4: Bloodborne $15.99 + tax -> $17.60 ($20.8 with 20%)

 

[ritchardf]

the $10 off coupons are up (energizer charger, remote control, both for ps4)

also, is the manage reward preference new? i dont remember it being there before but i dont pay much attention. if it is, way to add something that literally no one wants, auto issuing certificates. at least there is an option to stockpile points and it appears to be the default for Pro Members.

If you havent renewed or are just a basic member and have some points you might want to check your account, because from what i understand sometime around may 20th they will auto issue a reward certficate for basic members. sounds basically like best buy and their auto issuing for non elite/elite plus members.

 

[MSUHitman]

if a game is guaranteed $25, does it still get a boost with a preorder?

I think it should at least get 20% extra of the base amount. The $5 or so boost (to get to $25) may stack, not for sure.

Main account is unbanned. It has been a long 90 days lol.

Rite Aid has a $8 reward for buying $50 worth of Gamestop cards this week.

 

[whitereflection]

It used to be $5 reward for $25 card, wasn't it? Stingy.

For a non Rite Aider like me, what are there rewards points good for?

 

[detectiveconan16]

I think it's because we're in the middle of the year or something, the deal goes back up to 5 per 25 as we get closer to Black Friday.

 

[inky1600]

For a non Rite Aider like me, what are there rewards points good for?

Anything in the store other than the ovious exclusions:gift cards, alcohol, tobacco, etc. They're also good at other stores too:macys, ExxonMobil, even at&t

 

[irishsoccermbw]

For the eBay rollers, 6% ebay bucks through May 10th on items $50 and up.

Looks like I got that, too! Thanks for the heads up.

Gamestop doing overnight for Uncharted 4?

 

[Donut2922]

Gamestop doing overnight for Uncharted 4?

Most of them are.

 

[ritchardf]

Gamestop doing overnight for Uncharted 4?

just got back from gamestop and they were talking about it. they said only 6 showed up for battleborn and that they really dont get very many people in at midnight except for the call of duty games, but they have to do it anyway.

 

[ariel.rosales3]

The area GS here in Maryland get the choice to do them. However, the District Manager strongly encourages them to have them for all big name games. I was surprised they had one for Twilight Princess HD. Two people came for that.

Kicking myself for not checking GameStop.com for the $25 trade in for PS3 deadpool last week.  That would have been sweet.

I am almost 100% certain (like others here) that it was a typo and was supposed to be the / versions, not the / versions.

 

[Liquid Metal]

If its a typo its still on their website

 

[chnandler_bong]

If its a typo its still on their website

Yep, and seeing as how the and versions have the same TIV and the and versions have the same TIV, it's still a typo.

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

It's not valid anymore. Who cares.

 

[jcp42877]

Was there some promo I was unaware of? I went in GS about 30 mins ago to trade in a used Dualshock 4 for credit towards the UC4 Dualshock 4 expecting $26.95 TIV w/ PUR (per their website), but after it was all said and done, I got $40.25 for the controller, only costing me $27.xx for the new one.

Wasn't sure where the bonus $10 promo on the receipt came from, but for all y'all who are unawares, used DS4's net over $40 in credit at the moment, so take advantage.

Only when you buy a Uncharted controller or headset.

Ahh..explains why the rep tried to offer me the UC4 Gold Headset and the game as well...declined of course, seeing as how my copy is slated to get here today via UPS, and I just bought an Astro headset 2 weeks ago.

 

[Bobby's World]

How does the DS4 TIV go from $24.50 base to $40.25 with the $10 bump?

 

[no658ea3]

How does the DS4 TIV go from $24.50 base to $40.25 with the $10 bump?

$27.50 and then the 10% Pro card to $30.25.

Then the $10 is added.

 

[Bobby's World]

$27.50 and then the 10% Pro card to $30.25.
Then the $10 is added.

Thank you. The app is showing the wrong value

Sales probably low, games coming out at terrible time right after uncharted 4 and with overwatch coming soon and getting good publicity from beta

Right??? Why in the world would you release a game NOT in the fall AND right AFTER a major exclusive platform... Which is arguably the biggest exclusive release of the PS4 to-date, when the title (Doom) itself had a mediocre last release YEARS ago? Terrible, terrible idea.
