He's on west coast time. He's not up at 3am. You s need to calm down with this. I hope you've donated to him.

I agree with the constant requests but since BB is in the best coast, wouldn't that message be sent at 5:42am, not 3?

 

[Bobby's World]

Here's a flip for you:
Buy 2 black ops 2 and 2 black ops 1 and trade both 1&2 as combo towards a game with 40/50% extra bonus. That's $18 / $23(with $5 coupon). So that's like double your money. Also black ops 1 is $5 only so you can get other games you want from 4/$20.

Huh? Black Ops 2 costs $28

What on earth is going on with the GS website? No weekly ad all morning, now every page shows the same Agents of Mayhem crap

Yup.

Good Morning blackbeard,
Could you possibly refresh the sheet if you are awake? Trying to see if the store has one before they open

Please quit asking everyday for him to update the sheets. When GameStops get shipments of Switches I'm sure he will update the sheet and let us know, just like he has done every single other time they've gotten shipments. Please be patient

Or at all. The man has a family and still manages a daily update. Let homie live.

We appreciate you bruhbeard.

Thanks for the informative. I didnt know what time zone he is in. By the way you need to check your math...it was not at 3AM

Give BB a donation and then ask your question

Price drops haven't been updated yet.

 

[jer0009]

Stores are not getting shipments of these hours before they open. They get them around 10:30 am to 1:30pm local time when UPS shows up.
Quick estimate shows it is the same as yesterday still.

Thanks man I hope I didn't bother you. The stores around here don't check in there inventory until around 8:00 pm. Thanks for your hard work on the sheet. Trust me I know how it is and I hesitated to even ask this morning but the weakness of not knowing set in. I'll chill out on asking you to update it.
Thanks again

 

[krishna_malladi]

I say we fire Blackbeard, the slacker; and, whoever is making the most requests for BB to update, gets to maintain the sheets.

 

[jer0009]

I meant the weekly ad on gs.com

 

[jer0009]

Blackbeard.... Thanks for providing the sheet....sent you a tip

 

[blackbeard4886]

TIV changes for today. I noticed they did the same thing last week, instead of changing the prices and TIV all on Wednesday they changed the base values on Wednesday and then the prices changed on Thursday. Lots of 7th gen games are valued at $0.00 as of this morning.

Thanks, I don't know if a GS employee told you they were getting some this week but so far it doesn't look like it, unless they meant corporate was hoarding them in Grapevine as online bundles. This week I've only seen a hand full of stores get 1 and I can't tell if those are returns or not. I don't mind people asking requests just not while I am sleeping I haven't figured out how to automate the program updating the spreadsheet itself not to mention the manual edits I haven't worked out yet.

Yeah, they told me it was supposed to be his week. Who knows though. I wonder if GS is holding stock at the corporate level for a big release.

I have noticed that they are only listing one bundle on their site and the stand alone consoles have disappeared.

Thanks again

Assassin's Creed III is on the 4 for $20 and it got the BC trade bump but no BC tax yet.

Would be nice to actually trade my copy for more than $1.50! Add another to the pile for this weekend.

 

[asgaga]

Was told by a game stop employee they'll have switch for memorial weekend. No clue if it's a bundle

 

[blackbeard4886]

Wonder what they are doing with these pre-owned Switches? I think at least a couple hundred have moved to the warehouse already since I started looking at it.

How could they change prices for games on Thursday if the weekly ad advertises price drops for Wednesday?

​And how could Dark Rose Valkyrie have a TIV if it's not even out yet?

All I can tell you is there was only changes to the TIV today based on my query at 7am PST and last week the same thing happened and prices changed the next day.

Even new unreleased games have TIV in their system. I have to assume the TIV are somewhat based on a computer algorithm.

It was confirmed that five bucks towards Rime on switch will trigger the 50 percent bonus right? It's part of the promo but didn't specify console and I can't find the original post I saw it on. Just trying to prep for the weekend.

 

[Keen314]

I got the 50% bonus from Rime on Switch.

 

[coolrust]

[Faithful]

Noticed mass effect Andromeda got bumped from $15 to $20. Would make it $30 after the 50% boost. Good enough for me!

 

[An actual noob]

I just want my WD2/Blue Yeti to ship

 

[DeskLaser]

Does anyone know what exactly they count as tech for the 50% trade bonus towards tech promo? Would it be anything listed under "electronics" in the app?

I got that to work on Monday and today with no issues. You should be fine.

1 business day processing time, patience young sir. Start getting antsy if tomorrow by EOB it hasn't moved.

[westcoaststyle]

It's two discs on ps3

Caseless trade in?

It's two discs.

 

[blackbeard4886]

Well yeah but they don't seem to be selling them either.

 

[coolrust]

Caseless trade in?

yes

 

[Bocomac]

Man. I could have sworn from when the blops 1-3 collection was on sale, that one system only had two discs. I'm losing it. Sorry y'all.

 

[chnandler_bong]

The version of the Collection had 1 & 2 in the same case and 3 was in a separate case. It wasn't cool enough to be in the other case with 1 & 2.

Black ops 2 is part of the 4/20?

 

[coolrust]

Black ops 2 is part of the 4/20?

yes, black ops 1 is part of the sale but the regular price is also $5.

 

[blackbeard4886]

Maybe they will start getting more shipments in tomorrow? A few stores just got "Low Stock" in IL, OH, TX, and FL which are some of the first stores to get stock from the Kentucky warehouse. Maybe returns or early new shipments?

 

[Sr_Fuerte]

yes, black ops 1 is part of the sale but the regular price is also $5.

Both black ops 1&2?

 

[chnandler_bong]

Both black ops 1&2?

Yes.

for only ps3 and not 360?!

weak, was about to grab a copy

 

[An actual noob]

I know, I know. Just worried because some said that it shipped the same day they ordered! Hope it doesn't get cancelled because I paid with trade credit and I know how much of a bitch it is to get credit back on a GameStop.com cancelled order.
