Just wanted to report that the coupon did work (+25 bucks on the Wii, +30% on games)

The 30% worked as keyed in, the 25 didn't, but they did it manually. Wii trade in value was 75 bucks w/ coupon.
 
Base trade in values for 360 - I traded these in yesterday

UFC 2010 - $10
Call of Duty WaW - $10
Orange Box - $7
COD 4 GOTY - $2.50
Assassin's Creed (Platinum Hits) - $2.50

I got $55.20 after EDGE and 5 for $20 promo

Not too shabby
 
Sorry if it was already posted and I missed it but....they also have a promo where if you pre-order any game from a B&M store you get a coupon code for $5 off a gamestop.com order. You get a code for each pre-order. You can also get god of war 3 for free w/ purchase of a refurbished ps3 console.
 
Updated lists and database, changed promos over and title & finally removed the BBCode. Got enough people saying they preferred the old style over the BBCode formatting.
 
TIV 9/26

360 RB6 Vegas 2 $3
360 Dead Rising $5
360 GTA IV $5
360 Shrek the 3rd $3

Possibly because this is not really a print out coupon, it was handed to me in store and i scanned it onto the computer. Glad to see it is working for those who don't have the exact coupon that is handed out -- i assumed they had these coupons at all gamestops, but i guess not?
 
I got a question about the new power up program(sorry if answered)

They give us a welcome B2G1 free, well i was wondering, do we have to use that B2G1 free right then and there or can we save it for later use, because i read in a pamphlet they had about something that we have 60 days to use any certificates...and, i know this is highly unlikely, but are we allowed to use this B2G1 online? Thanks CAGs.

My B2G1 was only valid for 30 days, but I was in a test market so that was a few months ago. It could have changed to 60, but mine was 30. It actually should print an expiry date at the bottom of the legal mumbo jumbo.

And no, you cannot use it online. Gamestop stores and Gamestop online are two different companies owned by the same corporation. Which is why the prices in store a lot of times don't match the prices online. At least that's what they tell you... :bouncy:
 
Yup here it is:

Wierd, mine expires like november 30th or something.
 
When you sign up for the PowerUp Pro card (previously Edge discount) the B2G1 offer is added to your active offers after activating your account at the PowerUp website.
If you got your card in say, August, your coupon should show that it is good until the end of October.

I couldn't get the scanned coupon to work. Bummer. Here's what I traded:

Green Day: Rock Band - $13
Dragon Age: Origins - $8
Burnout Paradise - $5
Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions - $22
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future - $20
Dragon Quest IX - $20

One oddity was that my store was no longer taking DJ Hero. It's not a company-wide policy so YMMV.
 
"hich is why the prices in store a lot of times don't match the prices online. At least that's what they tell you... :bouncy:"

They tell me it's because they account for shipping online. When I say that I just tell them that all orders over $25 are free shipping because there's been a code active for just about ever.
 
Wow... this is something new to the GS experience for me.

I've never had a problem until today. So I go in and pick up my DR2 CE for the PS3. I rushed home to drop it off because I need to run errands. And guess what? No game disc. I'm dumbfounded. Anyone else have similar experiences?

The store told me to call customer service. The CSR told me to contact the district manager.

I was in such a rush that I forgot to check the receipt for my NInja DLC... which wasn't there either. So far I am 0-2 today!
 
TIV (9/28/10)

Xbox 360:

Burnout Paradise: $5
FIFA Soccer 10: $4
FIFA Street 3: $3
Pro Evolution Soccer 2008: $1.50

Forgot that FIFA 10 would drop that much after FIFA 11 released today. Would have been better off trading in last week with the Trade 3, get $10 deal instead of the 30% coupon. Oh well, you live and learn I suppose.

the no DLC on receipt doesnt surprise me, they forgot to give me my Reach dlc code too.

but no disc in the case? was it sealed?
 
Traded in on COD spec ops- 25% + %10

360
Halo Reach-40
Crackdown 2-$22

So basically made a little money off the BB deal.

It was sealed dude... no response yet, but I did send the email late.

Hopefully I'll get a response tomorrow. Sucks because I was looking forward to playing this today.
 
No luck with the $25 extra on PS3, coupon didn't register in the system at my gamestop. Manager told me he'd call me tomorrow after he spoke with customer service, who are busy today with training. =P
 
Where do I get this extra $25 hardware coupon? Do I just bring in the system to gamestop and they'll have a coupon there for me?

It appears to be YMMV on if your store has them. The printouts of the image included don't appear to be working at the stores.
 
Ok, thanks JP. I have some more annoying questions for you lol. If I do find a gamestop that has the coupons, would they add $25 for every system I have? Because I have a wii, PSP, and PS3 that I'd like to sell. Would my best bet be to go to 3 different gamestops??
Also, the extra $25 deal is good through Oct. 1 so does that mean if I go to Gamestop on Oct. 1 they'll still accept the trade?

Your best bet on multiple systems is to probably do separate transactions. The store shouldn't care about doing that if they have the coupons. When promos end on a certain date you can go the day off and it'll still work.
[quote name='darthballz']The +$25 for system-trade coupon says through october 17 on it. Is the 10/1 a typo or do you know something we don't, OP?[/QUOTE]
It's 17th, I'm just horrible typist/proofreader.
 
Traded in for Dead Rising 2:

Base TIV / TIV after 10% Edge & 25% towards DR2

:wii: Super Mario Galaxy 2 - $25 / $33.75
:wii: Mario Kart Wii (game only) - $16 / $21.60
:wii: Wii Wheel - $2 / $2.20
:ps3: FEAR 2 Project Origin - 6 / $8.10

Not bad. I picked up DR2 and about $5 credit to spare.
 
Just to let you guys know, I was just at Gamestop and tried to use the $25 extra coupon when trading in my PSP. The manager at the store called his boss when the coupon wouldn't scan, and his boss told him it was fake. I dunno if that's true, but they definitely didn't let me use it (and I didn't do the trade in).

Damn that sucks. I just called 2 local gamestops and asked them if they had any of the coupons and they had no idea what I was talking about. I guess we're both screwed.
 
Is it generally accepted that the bonus trade offers are only good toward console versions of a game? DR2 PC @ 39.99 would be easy to hit with a trade, but somehow I doubt it's valid.
 
Just as an FYI according to my Gamestop they do not take XBOX Vision Cameras or wired headsets anymore.

Correct. They no longer take PC games in for trade and haven't for a long time now.

I'm not sure we're on the same page - I don't want to trade in a PC game, I want to know if trading in a game (Super Mario Galaxy 2, et al) can be used with the promo toward the PC version of Dead Rising 2 instead of the console version. The ad doesn't state it...I should probably just call.
 
Sorry. I misunderstood your post there. As for the offer though, I don't see anything saying the bonus offer only includes the console versions, so give it a shot.

Worst come to worst, couldn't you just trade in towards DR2 console version and get a gift receipt? Then return it and get the PC version. Although I suppose that requires multiple trips/stores.
 
Also, considering how much credit I have at Gamestop and what my trades would get me anyway, and the PC version having no achievements, maybe I should just not think so hard.
