Didn't they give you a digital code for free and refund you or something?

Yeah I'm pretty sure I read that Virtua got kickbacks from both Gamestop and MS. Didn't he get a free game and $75 gift card? Lol

I just called my store to see if you could trade four on the Infinite Warfare list to get the Legacy Pro edition and they tried it out and found that it would only boost the value of two of the games, not all four.

That just made a possible deal worthless. Cant fault them for figuring it out but it just lost them potential trade
 
You all must know that Infinite Warfare deal is because they are less then 6 months away from WWII and still have a ton of new inventory they need to sell. On top of that they have a ton of pre-owned copies too.

Why waste employees time testing shit traded in to see if it even works if the consumer will do it for you, and waste their gasoline and time driving in to complain the 15% of the time they end up with a broken item? It's the same ideology that made Walmart realize they make more money when the store is a mess and clothing is piled up out of order by people who tried shit on and just out it back on a random hanger in a different section, because the money lost of stolen socks and undies and even stolen clothes (made in China for $0.01 per month salaries) was far less than paying someone to organize and keep track of it, or security to stop shoplifters ($7.25 per hour)
 
Is there any way to check trade credit history?

On Monday, I traded in some games and made a purchase. After all was said an done, my trade credit card had $17.xx on it. Today, I traded in some more games and received $60.51. I just checked the balance and it says I have exactly $60.51. I didn't make any other purchases, so I have no idea where the other $17 went.

Is there any way to figure out what happened to the missing money. Is there a number I can call or should I just drop them an email on the website? Or would it be best to go back to the store at which I trade my games?

The stores in my area received testing machines for all controllers. Plug it in and it has to pass that all sticks and buttons register full movement with no drift. If it doesn't, they won't take it

Will roll out nation wide thus year. Also tests phones and will test consoles later on.

Yes I understand that. I was speaking in retail dollars if that makes sense. Trade them in for 60 value which would purchase infinite warfare, and then trade that in for 16.50 without bonuses. Then again, I'm sure you could just wait for that game to be $20 at best buy. Unless you want to risk a return, which I don't think I'm willing to do

That's not a deal. That's you spending money to trade towards a shit game and then trading that shit game back for less money than it costs for the original 2 games(BOps2 & Mafia3).
 
So after renewing my pro account last weekend, today I woke up 3 coupons for buy 2 get one free preowned item. All 3 coupons have different codes, hope they're all valid.
 
I still have the same code that I possibly used. CS gave me the code before it appeared on my account. I'll wait to see later on if it works.

I know people have been having different results with OG PS4 trade-ins for $200, but has anyone tried to trade in an OG 3DS for $100? I think I'm gonna give it a shot sometime this week, seems like a decent amount for a non "new" 3DS.

No you idiot because other people go in pay for those and get broken shit because of you. Can't wait for year end when this fuckery stops.
 
Gamestops are all getting some device that will allow them to plug in a controller and see if its defective. If the machine says its fucked, its fucked and they can't take it in.

What part of them giving me a refurb do you not understand? Why would you buy a controller with missing buttons? They send it to the warehouse to get it fixed. Direct your nerd rage elsewhere plz.

That's a lie as defective items get hit with a fee or just have a different price. Lol is this forum overrun with raging junior detectives?
 
Hey 'beard, wondering if GS is showing an unusually high or disproportionate number of 360 Black Ops One & Threes. Have people been trading all three or just the two that don't work on XB1, or just Blops 2 because it fetches more?

Hoping all three get a stealth bump this month. Three will never get the Back Compat boost cause there's already a next gen version of it. Maybe I'll hold onto my copies of BO1 in case.

It's not a lie. Damn you are dense. All gamestops will have these controller testers by years end. So the crap you are doing will stop.

I got $100 for my "old" 3DS XL and $200 for my 500GB PS4 toward a PS4 Pro.

But then again, I have really, really cool people working my local GameStop. I traded in an Xbox One controller toward an elite controller today, and they gave me the guaranteed $50 and on top of that, the clerk scanned the magical $5 coupon (I didn't have one on me, he just used one on the counter) to get me additional $5 off.

So obviously broken things will not be taken? Like my dead cracked iPad didn't get me $25 a month ago? A dollar less if I didn't have a cable?

I'm not saying controller testers will not happen, because I have no idea if they will or they won't, but what I'm saying is GameStop currently will happily give you credit for broken items ACKNOWLEDGING that they're broken. Now you may think that might change, but with the pricing actually built into it's trade system and most fine print on promotional items expliciting saying "you may receive a lesser value for defective systems", Im pretty skeptical.

Now that might seem fucked up to you, or maybe to your store, and they certainly have a right to deny a trade, but they/those stores don't and that's what matters.

Soooo sorry not sorry, cry moar.

I don't think the problem is trading in defective controllers if the controller is marked as defective and sent back to the warehouse because those are either fixed or taken apart and used as parts to refurb other controllers. The problem is someone trading in a defective controller and the employee not defecting it and putting it on sale as soon as the customer leaves.

Got a $65 gift card to buy halo wars 2 digital as advertised on the box.

I mean if they allow it why not get the $50 back?

In the person who will one day have karma coming to them's defense, this is partially why they have the whole "bring it back in X many days" thing. That said, still a chance it doesn't get detected making them, to quote a nine year old, a "big poopy head."

Just fyi because of assholes like you (assuming you really do that) I was baited into a trade ban over a defective controller. Thats really not cool

You bitch at what he is doing but try to hold the moral high ground for taking advantage of other gamestop loopholes (which is what got you banned, your actions)? It is not like he is asking how to bake a 360 so it will pass as not having a RROD. Heck I just traded a bum PS4 controller in a couple of weeks ago because the material on the stick had ripped, the lady just charged me a refurb fee and I agreed. Granted the likelihood of it just end up bagged on the floor is high but that is gamestops fault for their policy. The Dead Rising 2 HD I was going to flip to at the same time she tried to hit me with a refurb fee when I had just bought it less than 1 hour prior at another store for scratches on the top of the disk, I declined as she would have just put it back on the floor and I was interested in playing through it again.

They do want your defective stuff they just don't want it hitting store shelves without being refurbed first. This machine stores will be getting should help eliminate employees not defecting broken controllers.

 
I don't give a shit if someone trades in a broken controller with a refurb fee on it. I care when someone tries to hide it and get full price so they toss it on the shelf and people buy broken shit.
