Would it be worth it to trade in my Xbox one controller for one of the Halo ones that has the 3.5 mm headphone jack? Like is that the only thing different about the newer controllers or are the triggers and such built better as well?  I mean i know obviously id be getting a new controller and a limited edition themed one but trying to decide if I wanna spend the 30 bucks on a new controller.   Thanks

 

[Donut2922]

They don't really track. They just check on Monday to see which transaction had the highest trade in amount.

So if I make 3 separate trades of $40 each, I'll still get beat out by the person that makes a single $50 trade during the same week?

Yep.

Yep.

Thanks. Good to know.

Well I've been eyeing the Zestiria CE Strategy guide and I wondered has anyone used the $20 Strategy Guide coupon from PUR? Does it only work with guides $20 or less or can it take $20 off any guide?

It takes $20 off any guide or makes a <$20 guide free.

Perfect, well I finally know what to do with some of these PUR points; seems the employees always act sooo amazed that people can amass more than 20K worth of points. *sigh*

Thanks Vig! Always watching out for the CAGs

Doesn't the Lunar White one have different grips or something?

I got around 4600 points when I traded in my xbox one ($225) and the wired headset ($6)

 

[fatmanforlife99]

I got 9800 for trading in my white Xbox one for the Halo bundle all together.

 

[lakerfanalways]

Is 225 the limit as to how much Gamestop will give for a Console? Mine is the black console 500gb originally part of the Assassins Creed Unity bundle but its still just the basic black console..I guess 4600 on top of the 6500 I have now I can get one of those 10 dollar certificates to use in store I just hope that Gamestop has some good XBOX ONE black Friday deals since Best buy wont take back my console

the TIV is $200. You got $225 a few months ago.

Oh I see..any chance of the value going up before black friday or is 200 the best I can hope for at this point? Just want to upgrade to a better console so am hoping that black friday gamestop will have some good deals on either the halo 5 console or the holiday bundle..best buy wont take my console back since its not on their list but they only give 145 anyway but best buy always has good black friday deals while gamestop is well sort of eh when it comes to deals

I honestly think $200 would be the best you can get at this point. I mean one of the deals leaked for black friday and one of the rumored bundles is the GoW bundle w/ Fallout 4 and an extra controller for $300.

Yeah that is what Im thinking too..200 is a good deal and the best I can hope for right now..the thing about that GOW bundle is that I already have a 500GB console I want to get a 1TB console so either the Holiday Bundle or the HALO 5 bundle

 

[Deader2818]

$200 is about the best you will get now that they sell xbox one used for $299.99

Why so keen to get a new system? With the loss you're eating to go to 1TB you could buy an external hard drive and the codes from someone who gets the holiday bundle. More space, less expense.

Went to buy a shell card with my tic and was told I can no longer purchase shell or iTunes, I believe, with tic or gc... Has this happened to anyone else

So it's only a few POSA cards you can't buy with trade credit.

Or the employee was lying

My friend told me a store told him Amazon and Visa gc (never seen those) was on that list... Won der are they phasing out Posa purchases with tic

 

[ThatOneGuyWho]

If that's the case and all stores aren't allowing you to buy gift cards with TIC, I'm just going to have to buy and resell. It's a hassle but few good deals at Gamestop to warrant wanting to actually buy anything there.

 

[Deader2818]

Did they try or just tell him that?

At the moment, the new "POSA card" policy hasn't been enforced at every location. But it looks like it will be very soon. My district just started following the policy recently. According to my DM and LP Manager, the only POSA cards that can be purchased with GCs or trade credit are PSN/XBL/Nintendo eShop cards and restaurant cards.

Thanks for the update! That all makes sense, except the restaurant cards part. But oh well. Looks like the time to cash out is now then.

 

[GamerDude316]

Guess I'll be buying some Shell cards tonight to cash out.

So basically the pos wont block it just depends if the store wants to block it.

 

[no658ea3]

The restaurant cards are a little strange. But at least we can buy those still with no problems.

 

[WhatsYoFlava]

Welp going to pay a visit to my local store soon and hope I can cash out

 

[Geco17]

Gotta get them Taco Bell cards so I can get a Gold PS4 that was made from mobsters!

 

[lusal]

This is kind of concerning as it limits our options as to what we can do with our accrued credit. 

With Black Friday deals coming up I'm tempted just to leave it there. Historically, however, GameStop's Black Friday deals have been moderately lackluster.

Decisions...

 

[amusedtoe]

Glad I've only got like $30 in credit right now.

Question though.  Since the Helldivers discount is in the form of a coupon would I be able to use a PUR $10 off coupon with it?

 

[no658ea3]

Do you know if employees get the discount on Black Friday sales?

 

[RoodyPooUS]

Good thing I only have ~$50 Credit at GS, time to spend less and less there

 

[Deader2818]

I dont see why not.

 

[dyeknom]

My store let me have a Shell card two days ago.  An amazon card yesterday.  I hope they don't phase them out -_-

 

[sovereignNX-73811]

Hubert how much have you left? Lol. Managed to build mine back up to about $200 but some of it went away after picking up the Zestiria guide and Dragon Quest Heroes. Might end up attacking that light blue Vita after all, bwahahahahaha! Maybe Steam or Amz credit....

And follow up on Vigilante saying the DQH CE isn't worth it: I got to see it up close and personal yesterday...for an extra $40-$60, that's as meh as a CE can get.

 

[lusal]

Do they have eBay gift cards as well?  Is it a YMMV thing?

 

[Miken]

Cashed out all but 100 credit on gas cards.  Amazon TIV thread should be seeing quite the activity pick up soon once this policy goes live.

 

[Katsumi]

Yikes! Thank you for the heads up.. I will try my store today and try to cash out the majority of my trade credit.

 

[Deader2818]

Ill be in a bit too see what's up but I dont think this is company wide.

 

[sovereignNX-73811]

I don't think I've seen any eBay cards here in Phoenix so I'm guessing it is indeed YMMV.

It just hit me........Do any of you buy games to collect/keep from GS?

I have about $420

 

[AndyD33]

Got the first half of an order from GS.com

Rugby 15 for XBO, was shipped from a store and came tagged as used but still had the MS seal sticker on it, and inside it was new.

I'm sitting on $840. $200 of it is spoken for (if the order is honored) in Astro Headsets.

Edit: Probably shouldn't have started this e-peen circle jerk.

Yeah that is the only concerning thing, the black Friday deals for gamestop are usually Eh, nothing special but maybe this year since Dell is having a really good XBOX ONE black friday special maybe other stores will be doing the same. Even last year Best Buy didnt do anything special and Gamestop is the only store that will give me 200 bucks for my console

 

[WhatsYoFlava]

Just got back from my store. New policy is already being enforced

Amazon/Kindle, Shell/BP Gas, Vanilla Visa, Apple iTunes were the only cards excluded on the list

 

[Geco17]

Well, hopefully we can move GS credit to BB this Sunday.

Shoot. Well, there goes that option. Wonder if Steam still works though...
