Don't be these guys and if you do please record it, thanks!

Though that was funny, I don't blame the girl for calling the police. They did nothing "illegal" but gloating about getting them from their dumpster. Come on. You're just asking for trouble.

Do you really think the call from the police was real?

Went over with a stack of 360 and PS3 games that have been gathering dust and a dozen disney infinity figures, walked out with The Division and $120 in credit.  I'm going to wait a day and return the Division to a different store

Based on various trade promotions the last 6 months, I will have $350 in Gamestop Credit once I return the Division.  I never spend a dime there because of GCU and Prime, and it just feels like throwing away money to buy a game at full price .

Just heard about this, but if you like the employees at your store wait until after the 18th to return it. Deader mentioned some contest about selling copies of the division. Can't remember the specifics, but I came away with thinking I was going to wait until after the 18th before returning.

Does this affect the employee if I return it to another store? I actually have an excuse to return the game- I don't have PS Plus right now because I am primarily a PC gamer, and the game clearly states on the box that Plus is required.

 

[Dbill309]

Am I the only person that sold the division for $50 and just took the $10 loss? The 50% coupon was more than worth it to me. 

 

[aircobra]

I have a 50% coupon I am not going to use. Will let it go for a few bucks. PM me if you are interested.

If you return it (to any store) it will be one less game that they have sold toward their contest. You can return it where/when you want, but if you like the people at your GS the I just suggest returning it after the 18th. If that's not within the return period then return it sooner. Wont make a big difference.

That means finding a buyer, meeting with them, and etc. that's more of a hassle for me and I would be losing $10.

I wouldn't even be able to find one honestly. Everyone in Houston apparently loves to lowball and get upset when I don't want to sell a new game for $30.

Yup...Take no L's!

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

I actually plan on keeping the division. Trading in 3 copies of resident evil games (3 different games) that I got for dirt cheap. I also plan on buying a X360 black ops 1&2 with a $10 pre owned coupon and splitting those up

Nice idea, any other decent boomerangs and/or coupon-to-credit converters?

I wish I knew, I only found that because it's worked before.

 

[Kurosaki-san]

Out of curiosity, if you include a accessory like a XB1 remote does the 50% stack with it as well? Anyone tried yet?

anybody else waiting (and hoping) for a phantom bump on friday to use their division coupon with?

I bet just about errbody.

I was really thinking about waiting until Friday to trade for the chance of a stealth bump. I decided to just trade my games in today because there is a chance that trade in values might go down. One of the games I traded in went down a dollar from yesterday to today.

I think FC Primal tanked...I could have sworn yesterday It was a $40-43 trade with coupon. $20 base now.

yeah I traded it for $40 after bonuses on Monday

Amazon is giving $35 and some change for

Yup, traded mine today because I ran out of time yesterday. Still made a profit on it but sucks to lose that 18 dollars.

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

Lol this backfired on me, there was a 4 for 20 last month and I forgot how many of these black ops 1 I traded in

 

[Mister Squirrel]

Maybe someone knowledgeable can offer me some advice...I want to trade in my entire Wii U collection of games and accessories and older Wii games with the Division 50% boost. I have some decent trade value fetching games (Nintendo 1st party for example).

My question is: should I wait until Friday for a possible bump or go first thing tomorrow in case of a drop? Also am I definetly able to return the Division because I already own the disc haha sorry if this was a redundant post but I'm new to gamestop's trading as I've always just hoarded my games.

 

[Bobby's World]

That was quick. I'm glad that I finished it last week and traded it in yesterday for $40

 

[blackbeard4886]

According to my archive it was $25 base yesterday 4/12

 

[angel98]

According to my archive it was $25 base yesterday 4/12

$25 base = $40 after bonus

Sound about right

 

[Bobby's World]

GTA V dropped $1, it was $23 base yesterday

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

I'm having a conflict of interests! Dark souls 3 or the division, which should I get? If

 

[bengi15]

I'm having a conflict of interests! Dark souls 3 or the division, which should I get? If

they are different genre. do you like shooting game or killing monster monster?

i would lean toward ds3 since i think the division is just another co-op shooting not much replay value, but ds game generally has high replay value and i like ds 1 and 2

if your friends have division and they are still playing, you can go with division but they are probably high lv by now.

dark souls for solo and the division for multi

I feel like 1st party Nintendo games are generally safe from tanking, and plus they are the games that are more likely to get a stealth bump if there is one this weekend.

Also, you will be able to return the disc, just don't do it right away at the store you bought it from. It's best to go to another store altogether. If you only have one GS in your area, I would wait a couple of days to return the game.

 

[frosty47]

That HAS to be one of you guys... "two digital copies are better than one!"

Or Cliffy B??

 

[applecider]

GameStop sure picked a poor time to respond to my request for a replacement card. Sent the request mid-February and honestly forgot about it until receiving a reply 40 days later. Should receive it in a speedy 3-4 weeks.

Can't view my active offers anymore, just redirects me to card activation. First world problems.

Thanks! I did an exchange for dark souls. I decided I'll get the division as a downloadable down the road

 

[MSUHitman]

I actually heard from an associate that you don't get powerup reward points anymore for purchasing gift cards. I'll be bummed if that's true, but at least we can still get them.

GS gift cards, not the others.

 

[SigV]

If people are uneasy about returning the division after using a 50% coupon an option is to hold on to the game and do an exchange when uncharted 4 comes out

I'll even walk you through the conversation

U: I would like to exchange this game I bought a few weeks back for uncharted 4

GS: Did you pre-order uncharted 4?

U: No u motherlover

GS: Well we have one copy we can sell you, but next time you need to preorder.

GS: Is there anything wrong with this game "the division" your returning?

U: No, I bought it but just didn't have the time to play it

GS: Oh ok, here you go. Would you like to preorder anything? Be sure to tell GS how we did and you could win one $25 dollar gift card.

I died when I read motherlover :lol:

 

[whswhsjohn]

is it allowed to use multiple pur pro coupon/offer codes in one transaction? for example, $10 off coupon and b2g1free coupon.
will system nullify one or another? or maybe gs employee refuses to use multiple coupons?

 

[Biggquis]

FYI a lot of games took a dive since yesterday so double check before you go to the store

 

[Bobby's World]

if you have 3 $50 games, the $10 off will make a game $40. The B2G1 makes the cheapest game free.

 

[Hernaju]

I believe the system will take the amount of money off of the free game in that instance, however you can do a $20 off coupon plus any other amount besides $20. Hope that helps.

 

[Bobby's World]

Any big ones?

Edit: I didn't notice any changes in my list, but it must be to combat the $10 extra for 2 next gen games

It works but you need to be aware of the order it applies. If you use a B2G1 and a $10 off, it will apply the $10 off first. If the games are the same price, then the coupon goes to waste.

 

[whswhsjohn]

Thanks a lot for all the answers!

Anyone ever have something like this happen to them?

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/691087-playstation-4/73587894

Just curious, if this story is true, aren't IDs required to cancel preorders? I know not all counties require IDs for trade-ins, but I was almost positive that IDs were required to cancel preorders.

I cancel them all the time. No ID.
