Out of curiosity, why do you think people pay that much for the game? I understand its rare, but aside from that, why purchase it at that price?

Zelda BotW will most likely be the Wii U's last game. Collectors want a full Wii U set, so it's the last game needed for lots of collectors since it's one of the most uncommon. When you couple that demand with resellers hyping it up as the next "rare" game (on places like this and Nintendo Age), it explains the sudden jump

This happens to lots of games for lots of different systems. The most recent "major" one in the collecting community was Stunt Racer for N64, and the price for that quickly cooled off and is still going down. I suspect Hello Kitty Kruiser will come back down to the $100-$150 range in the next few months, maybe even less

If you're holding onto one to sell, I would definitely do it asap. The one that went for $400 was just shill bidders and that scared some collectors, so they're willing to pay the $200-$250 for a complete copy on eBay at the moment. That window won't last very long though, as people who want a full Wii U set will be raring to get one around Zelda's release, and there won't ever again be a huge influx of people going for a full set until several years after the Wii U is dead

Thanks for the info, makes sense. I couldnt help picturing some soccer moms in a bidding war trying to get the Hello Kitty game for their kids lol

I've always thought about getting that Hello kitty game just for the hell of it. No way I would now, lol. Has anyone played it? If so, is it any good?

 

[Dashey10]

It was originally a mobile game but got ported. It's $10 on the eShop. People say the controls are like a realistic Mario Kart.

You can always buy the digital version for $9.99

It's total garbage. Just picture Mario Kart 8 with Hello Kitty characters instead and with half the tracks, half the characters, garbage graphics, no online, and glitches galore

 

[Djchanclaface]

Time to dump the Pokemon games I guess. Luckily only been holding onto diamond, pearl, and platinum.

Original X1 controllers are still MIA in the trade system right? Anybody traded one in in the last week or two?

 

[Vap]

Damn. That sounds awful. Glad I never bought the Hello Kitty game. Thanks!

 

[ZeroGame]

Worse case scenario, you're out $5, and even then you're not really out $5 since if you don't end up picking up the item they'll just sit on the $5.

That seems crazy that they would offer a %50 boost and let it work with something as cheap as this

 

[stringycupps1]

Out of curiosity, why do you think people pay that much for the game? I understand its rare, but aside from that, why purchase it at that price?

People are nuts. It was $20 a few months ago on Amazon now it's up to $90 there. I'm glad I got mine for about $15 from GS.

Blackbeard, is the Gwent stock sheet up to date or is it a week or so old?  I'm on the road this weekend and through I would check out a couple location that are on my drive.  Thanks!

It's a couple days old but I'm updating it in the next five or so minutes.

Ok its updated, around 30 stores fell off the list.

 

[ritchardf]

got an email indicating 20% bonus towards For Honor starting 2/13. obviously not as good as the switch bonus but as good as it gets if your store doesnt have anything left to preorder.

 

[KingofGames]

Quite a few stores show the Gwent deck in stock. I should do a run after work today.

 

[nietzsche74]

Anyone know if the "Playing with Power" Nintendo book is considered a guide?

 

[kube00]

I saw that the Pro days is an extra 10% Trade in bump. Maybe I'll wait For Honor and trade toward that

 

[ritchardf]

yeah, i think im still going to trade in on pro day because i have some used games i want to pick up and the 10% off those will basically cancel out the extra 10% for honor bonus. i am just wondering if all that will stack smoothly, 10% bonus on top of 10% pur for trading in than 10% bonus on top of 10% off used games with pur. just seems like too much for gamestop's weekend employees to deal with.

 

[kube00]

Can we count on the 30% trade in toward Resident Evil 7 stacking with the extra 10% trade in on pro day?

 

[Kyle1022]

Nope

 

[Confidance]

I would advise anyone who can wait, just wait until Wednesday.

Stealth bump coming on Wednesday?

 

[lusal]

75% Trade Bonus on all games, accessories and consoles.

Trust me...my uncle works for GameStop.

 

[z24buddy]

So, what is the over/under on how quickly GS will jack the price of GTA IV now that it was announced as a BC XB One game? Currently $9.99 for standard edition and $14.99 for complete edition.

My guess is before 5PM EST

EDIT: Episodes from LC is currently $7.99 on XB360

 

[ritchardf]

Starting 2/15, get 50% bonus credit for game and accessory trades towards a Nintendo Switch game or accessory reserve. Ends on 2/26.

talking about this i assume?

A few hours after the annoucement it will probably be a different price in the system but more than likely most stores wont change the tags until tomorrow. So you can get it for the lower price by them having to honor the tagged price.

The rumored/next to confirmed 50% bump on the 15th.

Either way, im willing to bet that even its a pennies on the dollar bump, the bonus overall will be better

 

[Moxieman]

So Blackbeard I am sure you had good reason to disable copy ability on the sheet, but what I was looking to make was a sheet for Wednesday including 50% bonus, $5 coupon, as well as prices to acquire on pro day with 10% extra off, and to exclude all games not sold in stores.

I appreciate the work you do, but that is the info most relevant to me.

 

[Biggquis]

Does GS sell miscrosoft store gift cards?  Trying to figure out a way to purchase he R6 Siege Digital code for $30 with credit.

Sorry about that I have had a lot of trouble with corporate BB spies lately supposedly because of a certain banned CAG. I need to force them to look at the page and not copy and paste the data. PM me if you need downloadable data.

Yes. That will work.

 

[Nick51705]

So I have 2 birthday coupons show up in my app. Unique codes. Is this a mistake or do you normally get 2?

I got 2 unique codes as well this month

No

It doesn't matter anymore anyway.

EDIT - But for the record Kotor is right. GS sells Xbox cash which you can use on the console and at xbox.com (and consequently microsoft.com), but they do NOT sell gift cards that work at microsoftstore.com.

 

[dav2sil]

How soon before your birthday do they send them? I didnt get anything and mine is in about 2 weeks.

 

[saberdragon]

Meh. I went and they didn't have any.

 

[ritchardf]

i think the inventory will be off on alot of those as most of them dont want to actually ring them up for a penny so they just give them away.

They already raised them.

Complete is $35

Regular is $20

LC is $15

 

[chnandler_bong]

Complete is $35

They are on their game today! It took them a full 24 hours to raise the price of Shadows of the Damned.

I received 2 unique coupon birthday codes as well.

The Pro Day page is finally showing on the website but no mention of the 50 dollar gift card with an Xbox One. Was there any other confirmation for that other than the picture of that printed form?

I don't think the $50 GC was part of Pro Day, wasn't it just part of the weekly ad?
