[quote name='vicious7171']Better than paying $40 including shipping for a used copy on amazon. It's not a terrific game, but it's the best version, especially for us with Xtreme legends. It's not a steal, it's just one of those games that are damn hard to find for cheap.[/quote]
Alright, if you were lucky enough to nab DW5:XL at TRU for clearance or somewhere else, fine, but why not just buy DW4 for half the price? :p

EDIT: I agree though. This is the cheapest I've ever seen it, but, damn. I think I can play my DW4, XL, and DW5:E while I wait for it to hit the cheap mark.
 
I spent about $150 today. They pretty much had everything I was looking for and I was the only one there at 10AM, which was good because I snagged their only copy of PopoloCrois for PSP they had.

No Castlevania Double Pack even though I bought it at Best Buy via GGC when it came out, so no big loss there.

All their games were in the bin for the most part still shrinkwrapped. A few accessories like the 2GB sandisk card for Wii and the Nyko controller pack I had to ask about since they were not in the bin, but was able to get them no problem.

Overall, it wasn't an awesome sale by any means (this IS GameStop after all), but still glad I went when I did and was able to get everything I wanted.
 
[quote name='briansraregames']And they still have my $300...[/quote]
ROFLS
Maybe you can take it as a learning lesson and learn to read where it says "no resellers" . It might save you some tears next time.
 
Picked up 4 Gamecube games at goodwill yesterday for 21 something, traded them in to GS and bought: Armored Core: FF, Outrun 2006 and PoPoLoCrois. Ended up walking out with 5 dollars in credit.

Anyone know if the animated Spiderman UMD is any good? Is it the cartoon they used to play on Fox? I might pick that up too...
 
For those of you saying that their stores didnt have the UMDs. Look around the store a bit more. They may have put them in another area like mine did.

I didnt see any at first either but they are stacked all together in a big box vertically with only a few of them having titles showing so it was hard to find them.
When you walk by them it looks like a bunch of clear plastic cases with a few having stickers with titles on them. Very easy to miss.

They weren't in the big box area with all the other games.
 
[quote name='eugaet']Hmmm. That doesn't sound like good odds that I will get my game then. First time ordering from EB/GS online...do I have anything to worry about?[/QUOTE]
No, why would you?
 
I nabbed myself a 2 GB PSP card for $30. I could have probably gotten a better deal online, but I didn't feel like rummaging through a bunch of websites and sketchy Ebay listings to find the best deal
 
[quote name='briansraregames']Just curious too, what have you guys been seeing as far as gutted vs non gutted games? I went to 4 local stores today and 3 of them gutted every single copy of every single game on sale, even the 4.99 UMDs. I can't imagine how long it took to do that, what a waste of time.

The other store figured out that they could save a lot of floor space by gutting 1 copy of each game for display and keeping the rest in the back.[/quote] The stores that I've went to here had nearly all of their games new and sealed. The only gutted ones were Xbox 360 games, but I bet those were gutted prior to this sale anyway.

Just Indigo Prophecy (PS2) for me for $10.

I picked up the same three games :D You can't go wrong for $10 per game! And all three games are pretty good at that from what I've seen/heard.
 
I went to check my local GS to see if they got any UMDs, apparently they're suppose to get that shipment on monday -_-' Well, I guess I might just order online then, just dont like waiting 2 weeks to get it....
 
Anyone with a hankering for a good story without so much turn-based battling should get Indigo Prophecy for $10 like I did. Its presentation and plot make it more like an interactive movie than a game - and it was definitely worth the purchase. It got best story of 2005 from Gamespot and it shows from the first few minutes of playing.
 
[quote name='CZroe']Man, that Castlevania double pack is hard to find. I sure hope they didn't overestimate their warehoused stock because I had to order it online. Forgot to pick up a Sandisk 2GB SD card (Wii-branded), so I guess the $2.99 shipping isn't too bad for two items.

BTW, the same Starcraft set is $7.4X at some Target stores.[/QUOTE]
In store, I nabbed FF XII CE, DW VIII, Castlevania CoD, and Space Quest Collection. Everything else I found interesting I had already paid less for elsewhere (Condemned: CO, Starcraft, etc) :D Well, except Sonic Heros, which I paid $5 for and got TWO "Disc Two" discs inside (had to trade them for a gutted copy).

My experience with FF XII CE since launch has shown that most have bashed corners and scratch marks and today's was no exception. It had a big dent in the middle of the top edge, so I swapped it out for another on my way to work (different location).

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness was loose in the sealed case and was very scuffed/scratched up, so they better let me swap it out in the morning.

I'm sure I'll get over it, thanks for your concern though.
 
Does anyone know if the Psyclone PS2 Wireless Controllers are any good? I stopped by a GS today, but they looked tiny and uncomfortable.
 
got nyko theater experience psp($20) but it didn't work, exchanged it and got an old version. My first one was the revised one, anyone know how to tell the diffrence? packaging is the same.
 
[quote name='Dante Devil']Has anyone played Condemned for the 360? I willing to bite on the price, but want to know if its worth it.[/QUOTE]
It's one of my favorite games on the 360, actually. I wasn't expecting much, so it was a pleasant surprise. I'd recommend it if you like creepy atmospheric games.
 
3/4 gamestops I went to had all their games gutted daym no way I was going to buy a new game if it's already opened!
 
just a brief FYI It appears that the stores that were running the buy 2 get 2 dvd sale have bumped it up to buy 2 get 3 free. At least the two stores in my area that previously had the B2G2 did.
 
sexcellent day
went to circuit city to return Oddworld stranger's wrath for 12.98 and some tax (its bound to come lower @ EB/GS)
went and returned Space Rangers 2 @ Big Lots (Starforced)

Went to my PC-specialized Gamespot (mighty big) and got
WCIIIx Frozen Throne
Rise of Nations
Starcraft
Magic the gathering

Im sketchy about starcraft, because I already bought a battlechest LONG time ago but misplaced the Brood war disc, anyone else got an extra broodwar disc so i can buy off of you all? of course, under $10

BTW everyone getting Castlevania Dual pack. that is a really good pair of games, but you really have to wait till you play aria of sorrow, easily the best of the two
 
Thanks for the Heads up on this

Went looking for Champions: Return to Arms

Ended up leaving with

Champions: Return to Arms
Castlevania Double Pack
Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast (PSP)

Didn't see a single 4.99 UMD and the Manager at my store didn't think he had any (?)

My store had all of the games on the floor sealed I could see alot of games getting shop lifted. With the limited room in the store they probably should have just put out 1 gutted copy of each game on sale instead as afew others saw at their stores.
 
Why are people complaining about not finding the CV 2 pack when its still available online? Coupon code SAVER will get you free shipping, and the game won't have a GS sticker on it.

I gutted 0% of the items at my store. I didn't want to, and I made the point clear to my manager. He ended up agreeing with me, so now we've got all the games, and they're all sealed.
 
Corp. wants the games gutted so people don't pocket a bunch of games. But if the display is right in front of the register and there is always at least 2 people working its not really needed.

The store I went to today had all the UMDs & accessories sealed but most all of the games were gutted.

Nope, that's bull. Corp only wanted the games that are more than $19.99 gutted. They said DON'T gut games less than $19.99.

Thanks, I guess I'll pick it up tomorrow.
 
I'm glad I finally got Castlevania 2x Pack. But what does everyone mean when they say the games were gutted? My copy is still in its shrinkwrap.

It means they were opened and the discs kept behind the counter. EBStop thinks this is somehow an acceptable way to sell "new" product.

Some stores did it, some didnt. I went to 2 in my area, searching for UMDs that didnt come in yet, one had them all out still sealed, the other had them gutted (Even overheard some employees talking about how all the sale games were in a bin so they didnt need to look in the drawers)
 
[quote name='Jesu']I went to get FEAR for 360 and they said it's still $49.99[/QUOTE]

when i went it wasn't even in the bins. i had the guy ring it up along with my copy of quake 4 straight off the wall and they came up on sale. i'd say go back and have them ring it up if they didn't last time.
 
the gamestop I went to in the mall and eb was in there also, had all their games sealed, while the one's located next to shopping places plazas, had all their games gutted guess, they did have some shop lifting trouble in the past, but there is security cameras and all..

They did scan it to find out the price. I have the worst luck.
 
I was able to get:
Popolocrois
Armored Core
Resident Evil
Resident Evil Apocolypse
You Got Served

I'm going to check tomorrow at Gs because the guy said there would be more movies...I hope he's not lying.

Yeah, I went to two separate GSs today, and the first one gutted the Outrun 2006 I wanted (bought it anyway), and when I got to the second one (just happened to be going by), I stopped in and sure enough: all the games there were wrapped.

The weird thing about the first GS (my usual one) was that *only* the PSP games were gutted...everything else was wrapped. I ended up buying a wrapped one from the second store and they were willing to accept the one that I'd bought 1.5 hours earlier as a legitimate new return, which I appreciated.

I thought about buying the Castlevania Double Pack and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, but I also bought Loco Roco at CC today, and Daxter and Syphon Filter at BB today (all games $10), so I skipped the stuff for the Nintendo systems.
 
[quote name='reibeatall']Nope, that's bull. Corp only wanted the games that are more than $19.99 gutted. They said DON'T gut games less than $19.99.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for confirming - I thought that might be the case. Both stores I went to gutted virtually none of the games and I thought that was a bit unusual for GS.
 
[quote name='Damian']It means they were opened and the discs kept behind the counter. EBStop thinks this is somehow an acceptable way to sell "new" product.[/quote]

thats horrible, i want a new game not an open game case
 
Nothing in this area is getting gutted. They even had the PS3 games in the regular bin with all the rest of the sale games, all sealed.

I picked up the following UMDs sealed today:
Ghost in the Shell
Cowboy Bebop The Movie
Steamboy
Night warriors Darkstalkers Revenge
The Fifth Element

I past on some other good titles too, mostly I would have got Appleseed but I didn't want to spend more than $25 on UMDs that I'll probably only watch once, heh.
 
You know, about 3 out of 4 of my local GS stores have told me that their 'cameras' don't really work, especially the one(s) where I still get the pennied items from. I doubt the employees would risk their DM seeing a security video of them giving out products they're supposed to destroy if they had to worry about such a thing.

So, for the people who said the employees mentioned the cameras, maybe they meant the other mall cameras? With knowing how cheap GS is on trade values, I'm pretty sure they don't want to have to spend the $$$ on cams too.

what's the point of putting in cameras if it doesn't work? Back then I remember asking an employee to check out the prices on some guides. He went ahead and say I could have them as they were pennied out. Nowadays I give up on hunting for pennied out guides as gas is expensive.
 
Hey guys! I went to my favorite GameStop to take advantage of the extra $20 on console trade-ins. Figured it's the last chance to get rid of my GBA SP and my micro for a decent return.

As we all know here in the CAG war room, the published ad only excludes "game boy color and original game boy advance." For some reason, though, the GameStop computers are *not* applying the additional $20 to GBA SP and micro trade-ins.

The guys hesitated for a minute but ultimately punched it through with a manual override (*that's* why it's my favorite GameStop.. the guys who work there are genuinely cool about stuff).

So anyway, I think we may need to call a YMMV on this deal or at least throw a caution flag.
 
I went to a GS near my house in Wash, DC area and everything was gutted, even my $9.99 copy of Castlevania I bought. It is in a rather ghetto area though (Bars on windows and doors for example) so perhaps thats why they did it. But yeah, they just put little white stickers over the edge and stuff, but the sticker was easy to remove and then could easily be put back on...

I'm not condoning this, but the flaw in this is that someone could buy it, play it, then 'return' it by putting the sticker back on, then the gamestop/eb could re-sell it as new again?

If they are gonna keep the discs behind the register...why not just keep the whole thing there...I don't think this is the best way to handle it.
 
[quote name='FaintDeftone']I picked up the 2GB SD Card for my Wii. Great deal.[/QUOTE]
Not really. I mean, if you need one right away it's almost equal to anything else you can get B&M right now (OD has one for $20 this week too, 110% price match it somewhere else). You can routinely get 2GB SD cards for much less than $20. There's not even any online deals right now that I know of and you could still do better.

Here's one at Amazon for $14.99
You could also potentially GCO this one at Buy.com to $15.01 shipped.

Not trying to crap on your enjoyment, I'm just saying we're CAG and our standards are a little higher for a "great" deal.
 
[quote name='cdrober']If they are gonna keep the discs behind the register...why not just keep the whole thing there...I don't think this is the best way to handle it.[/QUOTE]
If you go to a REAL game store (come on people, they still exist!), they will usually have the whole place surrounded with glass cases to display their games, as well as several racks behind the cases.

For some odd reason this is too much of a complication for GameStop, although I think it's bull. They should treat their products better (pitching used DS game cases to save room is beyond idiotic). Only put used game cases on the floor and surround the rest of the place with glass cases and a walkway behind for employees :)
