Another thread says there a B1G1 30% off on X1 and PS4 2/13-2/19.

Confirmed it does work.

 

[labrat34]

Confirmed it does work.

was it 30% then another 10% for PUR? or did the 30% that was advertized include the PUR 10%?

 

[zlatour]

It's funny that we even need to ask this. Gamestop has misled people so much that no one trusts their numbers lol

[josekortez]

Does the 40% bonus apply to the purchase of new or preowned systems? Sorry if this was covered, but I'm at work and really can't read yah thread on company time.

GS site says new consoles.

 

[josekortez]

GS site says new consoles.

Thanks.

 

[ZeroGame]

GS site says new consoles.

I think it's a big joke that people at corporate play.

Demand that the employees sell so much used stuff. Give out bonuses and reduce the new price on stuff drastically lower than used.

 

[Djchanclaface]

In typical GS fashion, it only says "new system" on the home page banner but all other mentions of the promo and terms and details say "any system" and do not specify new. Someone has to try it and report back.

Looks like you got slidecaged...

Wait, I thought that was a bad thing...

Now I kind of want to be slidecaged...

 

[sebbydaman]

Sheets doesn't want to show best buy and GameStop tivd -_- want to know if I can move credit or profit from gamestop

 

[skateraXVIII]

Well shit, hopefully we still have that 50% Switch game/accessory bonus coming. A 30% bonus and having to buy/return a console just doesn't do it for me

Lol, this. I was really banking on it, however if it doesn't end up happening I'll just have to cancel my switch/switch accessory pre-orders. Still have another 2-3 weeks.

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

Me also. Even then I'll hold out for a stealth bump. Values are too low for a measly %40

 

[ORANGE ALERT]

Did anyone reliable ever confirm that rumored 50%? I know it's been pretty much treated as fact here the last week or so, but I haven't seen Deader or a usual person confirm it.

 

[slidecage]

lol called them up and they go

NO worry we send you replacement

 

[sebbydaman]

Sheets should show the buy one and get 40% into the 50% at best buy with pur and gcu

How are you accessing it?

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

How are you accessing it?

I tend to have problems on mobile quite often. Used to be easy but that was like 6 months ago.

 

[blackbeard4886]

The amount of data on the sheet between all the tabs is probably too much for most mobile devices. I will try to scale it back.

 

[Vigilante]

Only the most reliable GS source we have:

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

 

[slidecage]

does that 40% more include systems  meaning i could trade a  old 3ds towards  the switch

 

[chrome3333]

No so do you have to put more then $50 down on a system preorder?

 

[Kyle1022]

Pretty sure the guy who first mentioned the Switch game/accessory preorder bonus also was the first to mention the 40% Pokémon Sun/Moon bonus, and the 50% that occurred the couple days before Thanksgiving. So he has a good track record

Last time I ordered something from the website I had a similar incident. Ordered street fighter alpha anthology. Got street fighter anniversary collection. GameStop shipped me alpha anthology, told me to keep the first game.

 

[saberdragon]

Thanks for for updates guys. I'll be trading in Amazing Spiderman 2 if the value holds up on Wednesday. I have a $5 best buy certificate and I'll just use it on this.

At least they sent you set you something XD. I remember buying Toukiden Kiwami used for $5 and they never sent it. They didn't charge me tho.

 

[falsedichotomies]

There's actually some pretty good prices on some weeb games right now as part of this new promo.

$9.99 for Sword Art Online Lost Song, Digimon Cyber Sleuth, and J-Stars Vs+.

$15.99 for the Disgaea triple pack.

Anyone know if Sword Art Online is any good? I think I'm definitely gonna pick up Disgaea and Digimon at those prices.

The Triple Pack has been on clearance for that price for a while, but the Bandai Namco game prices are new.

 

[Helldweller87]

Store i stopped at tonight said the 50% for switch is confirmed. Also the 40% towards new systems does not work on preorders as i tried in store a few mins ago

 

[Deader2818]

I can confirm 50% bonus for switch games and accessories starts the 15th. Nothing about system that I saw.

 

[reaperztoll]

Then it's about to be on like Sasha Kaun!

50+10 or 40+10?

 

[saberdragon]

50+10 or 40+10?

Please be %50+%10

 

[WickedEndoNinja]

thanks whoever mentioned the song of the deep ridez funko on clearance/sale for $5 bucks. Saw a few at my local GS while pre ordering some overwatch pops so grabbed it. Never played the game but is a pretty cool looking funko.

this is the funko, was $5 in store

Dont know If I should move my vredit to best buy or wait until the 50 % promo

 

[blackbeard4886]

Well the opportunities to move GS to BB don't come up as often as BB to GS. I would say just move it to BB while you can and then back to GS.

Now that GS charges tax for me and they have a B1G1 30% off, I'm going to buy a bunch of Bioshock Collections and 2K games! I want to liquidate all my points.

How do you know if they charge tax on your trade in credit? Do you get less trade in credit than people from other states? I live in CA.

 

[Moxieman]

They charge tax when you make a purchase and use trade credit to pay. This is not true in some states.

Thanks for the explanation. They didn't charge me tax. I just made an order today with my trade in credit.

 

[AvatarGoku]

If I go to trade in on Friday and pick up my pre-order of the Xbox one s, I should get the 40% right?

You don't know until you've tried buying something with trade credit. You'll end up paying tax. I mention that fact because stores in Texas are now doing it. I was planning on buying my Switch at GameStop but I have no reason now. Better to buy at Best Buy and get 6% rewards back.

 

[asgaga]

i would just put $5 on this

http://www.gamestop.com/nes/accessories/nintendo-switch-joy-con-strap-red/141934

so you get the 50% instead.

 

[skateraXVIII]

GameStop employee did a mock-checkout to see if the 40% tiv bonus applied using a preexisting console preorder. Unfortunately it didn't. Was surprised he went the extra mile to check. Positive survey incoming for him.

 

[Djchanclaface]

Praise be to Aslan.
