Weird my store isnt having a midnight for RE7, but are having some weird Pro opening from 9-10pm to get it early.

 

[Plankfan]

Rookie question: I have 3 3DS systems I want to trade in. Is there a limit on how many I can trade in at once at a specific store? Thanks!

I was told as long as they aren't the same paint job or model you're cool. If there is a switch preorder bonus you are going for then you need to do them individually so you get the proper bonus

Thanks for the answer. They're all different (white new 3DS, black XL, black OG). I probably need to order chargers for each of them...

Yea, chargers and stylus are required. The switch trade in bonus goes until Sunday I believe. An extra $30 each. And with anything just ask them if it's ok that you do that.

I wasn't planning on doing the Switch bonus since I did my preorder at Amazon, so I guess I can't really benefit from that bonus if I'm trading straight for credit lol.

 

[DaShaka]

Has anyone successfully traded in an Xbox or PS4 and got the extra $75 bonus when Switch pre-orders were no longer available at their store? I noticed the promo wording has changed online from "Extra $75 towards Switch Pre Order" to "Extra $75 towards existing Switch pre order"... I assume I'm out of luck at this point for the extra $75...

 

[Kyle1022]

You won't need a charger with the white new 3DS, confirmed by an employee in this thread and by 2 employees at my store. They may try to tell you that you need it but you don't. And yes you'll have no problem trading those three at once but as far as I know it's still unknown whether the Switch promo works on multiple systems in the same transaction

 

[blackbeard4886]

OK I can get inventory estimates again on demand if anyone is curious, now in half the time and using a larger sample size thanks to GS exposing their server for queries. 

Currently working on getting locations with in stock retro games since that was taken away from the webpage but easily obtainable now with the server.

If you already have an existing Switch preorder and haven't paid it off yet then the promo will work through the 22nd. If you don't have a Switch preordered yet then you're out of luck

 

[blackbeard4886]

I think someone said a few days ago that it only applies to one system per transaction. Correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct.

 

[alucardus]

Yep, won't work. Always leave some wiggle room on your preorders and in your backseat when on a date.

Good to know. Already paid my Deluxe edition off (was doing the extra 20% along with the free tshirts promo and the guy just applied the credit to the preorder). Wasn't going to fight him about it as he was a nice dude and I'll get a gift receipt when picking the game up and returning it another day.

Question: is it possible to move like $5 off the paid preorder to another preorder game to take advantage of this 50% promo? Not a big deal either way for me as I already did a few trades past couple weeks with the extra 50% and the 20% with weekend boost. Just curious if anyone has done it successfully.

Just remember, besides the computer system everything else is some sort of ymmv. Ask ahead or just go somewhere else if you have problems.

I wasn't getting all of my trade value towards the switch and home boy was arguing. I figured I would just come back later. The trade I did today went fine after the associate used her brain and found the "EBC" code to give me the missing $25 on my trade in.

Could you retrieve this sku for me?

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords

I cannot locate this sumbih anywhere. Thing is though, I have it in the app as tradeable but no one in the store could locate the trade.[/quot

thats been trading for $20 on Amazon lately.

Shit. I guess I'll be camping outside GS this weekend.

I think GS lost money on Song of the Deep they seem to have a lot of on sale or clearance merchandise left. Here a few examples I found while testing the server code.

Just had bb chat deny me a price match on madden 17. Their excuse, they dont price match prime exclusive items. I tell them that anyone can buy it. They say no, because it has prime on it it means prime only.

I told them that last time they denied me because it didnt have prime on it so by their logic it wasnt shipped by amazon.

He says again, its a verified prime only purchase so we cannot match.

Best buy is the worst on this price match shit

no kidding. first rep I tried said that. didn't bother arguing. next rep did the PM. I was however more prepared and introduced the PM saying this is not a Prime Exclusive deal, etc.

 

[blackbeard4886]

Looks like most stores are already stocked with copies of Resident Evil 7. Both have the same estimate of new copies for the standard edition. Judging by this I should be able to do the same with the Switch closer to when that comes out.

Looking to order a couple older new games off gs.com. I'm going to assume there is a decent chance that I get resealed. Anyone have experience with getting resealed copies?

 

[Bing Chameleon]

I just tried to return a shirt I got off the "trade in a game get a free shirt" promo and was turned away. I had gotten it for my brother who didn't like it so I figured I'd take it back and get another one. The employee at the store had never heard anything about the promo (along with the other 2 stores I'd went to) so I'm just gonna have to go to my home store and try it. Just giving anyone a heads up who may try as well.

 

[Keen314]

I think the Madden TIV dropped a few bucks this afternoon. Around noon I looked it up and it was $22 base, but by the time I hit up GS after work it was $20.

 

[dios]

I never buy pops, but I liked Song of the Deep and I remember seeing a big pop for it with the Girl in the Sub and thought it looked awesome.

I went to a gamestop randomly yesterday and saw they had a few of those pops and it was on sale for $9.99.

Just a heads up in case anyone was interested in it. I bought one lol it looks neat.

 

[Sunrisecityrider]

I know the perfect employee to award one to in my district.

I think we all have a few nominees

 

[Confidance]

So this 50% deal on RE7B is intriguing. Of course, im not a GS employee or tech, but the likelihood of GS loading a targeted promotion at 9 local time is low at best. To load a promo, the code would need a rewrite, and a refresh, which would momentarily disable or improperly jack the system. Again, im not in their tech deprtment, but thats a weird time to load a promo. Couple that with targeting a 3 hour window nationwide while the timezones differ peaks my pessimism.

Furthermore, guests who have the game preordered at mall stores that refuses to remain open past 9pm would be screwed.

I think this promo will be all day. At least, I hope so. I left a penny balance on my game for just that possibility.

My guess is it will be something they have to scan. That will leave a minimal impact on the system then and it's probably already in.

So I would have to call on Monday to see if they will have the %50 extra trade in credit promo. I called a store and they said they would be closed by the time this promo would start. I really need this promo.

 

[dVeLoPe]

so i traded in an OG xb1 today for 175$

is that a good deal? i should have sold it back in black friday anyone remember what they were going for then?

paid 250$ for it dec 2014 and got 40 hours out of need for speed 2015 so id say the 75$ loss isnt too bad

reason for selling is i already own a S version and i want to upgrade to scorpio holiday 17s

Thanks for the heads up. I am in the same boat, I have never owned any figures, but I do like the look of this one to go with my collectors edition.

I know people where saying how bad the new page to check in store inventory on the website and now I see why. They don't even show if it's low stock or in stock anymore. That's gonna make it a pain in the ass when looking for multiples.

 

[dVeLoPe]

how do i see the page where it shows the trade in values of the top $$ stuff or did they remove that

I'm betting that the 40% bonus will just apply automatically when an RE7 game purchase is made in the same transaction as the trades. I don't think they'll have to scan anything. They're only selling RE7 from 9pm-Midnight on Monday right? So there shouldn't be a complicated timeframe issue: any trades applied toward the purchase of RE7 on Monday would get the bump, but they're only selling the item during that timeframe which is why that's the only time they're advertising the bump. Also, if it's like past purchase-dependent bonuses, it won't matter if your preorder is paid off or not - you'll still get the bump when the purchase is added to the transaction. Guess we'll see...

 

[dVeLoPe]

on the site it says you get 50% extra ''when you trade'' from 9pm thru midnight does that work with consoles aswell???

If it is automatic I am wondering if it will be active at 6PM PST

 

[bengi15]

so there are 3 hour to trade since my gamestop close at 9:00pm open at 9:00am

 

[Miami Flash15]

so there are 3 hour to trade since my gamestop close at 9:00pm open at 9:00am

pretty sure they're going to be open beyond normal closing time of 9. 9 PM - Midnight local time (3 hours).

 

[dVeLoPe]

i meant when its those 3 hours will they take consoles for +50% TIV

The email says it is games and accessories only, I believe.

After the 50% early release RE7 trade promo ends on 1/23, the RE7 power trade promo will be increased to 30% (40% with PUR Pro) starting 1/24. It will be good until 2/5.

I want this promo but not Resident Evil 7.

 

[Kyle1022]

Hey blackbeard, with the new website have you figured out a way to check in store stock for items where you can't normally check in store stock? I'm trying to see if any nearby GameStops have a new Galaxy N3DS XL, but doing the old trick of replacing the correct item number and SKU on a different URL gives me a picture of the item I'm looking for with an error message that says "Availability cannot be checked for this product"

 

[Confidance]

Thats my point. If its geared and tied to the pickup of re7, then it cannot happen until they decide to sell the game. When the first pickup happens, preorders are no longer possible if that makes sense. At least thats how it used to go when i managed one years ago...

Yes, just would need to know a zip code but I would say your chances are slim as only 3 in 300 stores had them in stock.
