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?

got a pro day ad infront of me, it list $50 gift card with purchase of a new xbox one console.

 

[illidin]

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

The only thing on the weekly is the 50 extra trade. I wish it was there then I wouldn't have to wait.

 

[saathe]

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.

Thanks!

Great I haven't been to a store recently so haven't seen the print ad just noticed it wasn't on the website page. Thanks for the info.

If I'm trading in a PS3 ($45 value) but I don't have a Dualshock 3, only a generic third party controller, will Gamestop dock me the full value of a used controller ($45), effectively giving me $0 for my system?

 

[Nick51705]

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

Pretty sure I got mine late Jan but it's good until the end of the month. I just assumed they sent them to all Feb. birthdays at once. Mine is the 12th.

I exclusively trade in 3rd party controllers with my console trade ins. Question here for me is that not all ps3 models came with dualshock 3 controllers so I'm not sure if one needs to be traded in with it...

Pretty sure GS won't (isn't supposed to) take in any PS3 w/o an official DualShock 3. Only systems I know of they would take with 3rd party controller are original style 360's with a wired controller (plus you lose about $5-$10 in trade value) & maybe Wii's.

A cashier tried to get me to buy a used version but it was out of stock so I got a new copy XD

 

[Moxieman]

Well with blackbeard's help I did the math and- there is nothing really worth boomeranging from pro day to 50%+$5 except sun and moon.

 

[ATL80]

I heard of gamestop doing a 50% extra credit trade in bonus. Does anyone have some info on this?

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

 

[ATL80]

Does anyone have a full list of deals for gamestops pro day?

look a little harder! Paper Mario, I see you!

 

[saberdragon]

Should I trade these Wii U games in on Pro Day or wait for the 50% extra trade in credit ? Mario Party 10, Super Smash Bros. ,  Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, and Nintendo Land.

 

[ZeroGame]

I would wait

 

[saberdragon]

I would wait

I don't want to risk the games dropping so much in value. I don't plan on keeping them.

I would wait. Worst case scenario you'll either make the same amount or hopefully there's a stealth bump paired with the bonus. I think trading in on pro day with the current values is not a smart move. My opinion

Fine. I can try out more of the games. I just know that Smash for sure will get a Switch port and there's Splatoon 2 coming for the Switch.

Just wait. Be patient. It will be worth it

Ok, sell them

 

[skateraXVIII]

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

I'm not sure what you mean, but you only have to put $5 down on pretty much any of the Switch preorders (games, accessories, etc.). That's pretty much how it's been with all these pre-order bonuses. If they ask you to put down the whole amount, just be like "nah I'm sweet" and go to another GS that will allow you to only put $5 down towards a pre-order.

The preorder item in question was a $7 grip for the joycon. It just seemed wild they would offer you a bonus and let it qualify for that cheap of an item.

I would gladly buy those from you at PRO day trade value if they go down next week. You can't lose.

 

[saberdragon]

The values aren't looking much better on ebay XD

We'll see how it goes lol

 

[Djchanclaface]

Has PROday discount on used stacked with CAG16 before? It would be good to load up on retro if so. Also might help make some boomerangs more worthwhile.

 

[Moxieman]

I would be 43.99 on Pro Day and trade in for 43.20 before coupon. Not a resounding deal, especially in all the states that charge tax on trade credit.

CAG16 is online only...

 

[Djchanclaface]

So that's why that GS employee got annoyed when I started writing it all over his face...

Yes. Is it not online too? GS site says on the PRO day page:

Discounted prices will be reflected in cart on 2/11

Dig deeper. Paper Mario, HeartGold and SoulSilver. B2G1 trade in with %50 bonus

Where are you getting this B2G1?

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

Is it amateur hour? http://m.gamestop.com/pages/sale/proday

 

[Moxieman]

Edit: That's the one time coupon you get for renewing.

 

[astros75]

So dont you have to factor in the cost of renewing your pro membership? You do realize the B2G1 is for renewing right?

Now I do. Apologies

 

[Keen314]

This is why I only drink pasteurized OJ.

 

[zlatour]

Hit the pro renew up with dem sweet flip points...

 

[astros75]

Now I do. Apologies

It's cool, we're all here for the same cause. Although I was tempted to toss that "amateur hour" right back at you lol

Anytime I ever hear amateur hour I think of Kramer with the Merv Griffin set lol

 

[saberdragon]

Sweet. I'll get that Buy 2 get one free from the renewal. When does the coupon expire?

The last time this happened (in November) it was sent in January.

I just called a cashier and they said it would take 24-48 hours to show up on your account.

 

[saberdragon]

Yo-Kai Watch Medals Pack Series 1 are being sold for $0.78 at gamestop. They have some at my local store so I might get some.

Yes, when you renew/start a PUR account you receive a B2G1 coupon within 24-48 hours. I thought there was something special for Pro day. Maybe I'm insane, who knows...

I might renew my PUR account some other time if I can get the coupon any time that I renew. My wallet is running dry.

You will always get a B2G1 with a renew.

Ok. I'll renew some other time then.
