GS/EB Coupon/Used Deal of the Week FAQs - thanks oscargrouch
  • Coupon is valid in store (B&M Locations) only, it does not work online.
  • Just print the coupon, not the whole ad.
  • Coupon can be printed from this thread by right clicking on the image, selecting view image, then pressing print.
  • Coupon DOES NOT stack with any other offer, except EDGE cards.
  • Coupon will be valid on the start date of the weekly ad, not earlier. (YMMV on if the employees will do manual override, not recommended.)
  • The EDGE card takes 10% from the original price of the Used Deal of the Week, not the promotional price.
  • Used Deal of the Week is considered a promotion so it will ONLY stack with the EDGE Card, nothing else.

[quote name='MasterSun1']35% off with the coupon (and returning GoWIII) is about $3.00 more (no taxes involved), assuming you buy $54.99 games in-store.

B2G1F: $54.99 x 2 = $109.98 x .90 (10% Edge) = $98.98 / 3 = $32.99 per game
vs.
Weekly Coupon: $54.99 x .65 (25% Coupon + 10% Edge) = $35.74 a game

If you're only looking for 1 game, it's a great deal. If you're looking for 2-3, B2G1F is better and you save over $5, which is like a million dollars in CAGland.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the math. Seriously I am quoting it for later use when we see the b2g1 free deal complaining.

Either way I am returning my copy of Final Fantasy that I picked up (used 2 Star Wars BBV trades) before I got the bundle for GOW3 and will pick up Heavy Rain....since I got everything else that is worth a damn now.
 
Since I have GoW III paid off already this coupon could come in handy. Unlike the Bioshock and Heavy Rain coupons this coupon will be there ready at launch, not 3 days after launch when the coupon is useless to me.

What about the online offer for B2G1 free used games? Seems to be a better deal...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assuming you wait for the B2G1 free sale, decide to shop online, and want 3 newer games, this is how it would turn out:

Fairly New Game #1: $49.99 - CAG16 (16% off) - EDGE (10% off) = ~$36.99 + sales tax = ~$40.32
Fairly New Game #2: (same equation) = ~$40.32
Fairly New Game #3: = FREE

+ Free shipping

TOTAL: ~$80.64

~$80.64/3 = ~$26.88 per game

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you bought these using the 25% off coupon above and your EDGE 10% off and decide to shop in-store, you'll end up paying a bit more. See below:

Fairly New Game #1: $54.99 - coupon (25% off) - EDGE (10% off) = ~$35.74 + sales tax = $38.96
Fairly New Game #2: (same equation) = ~$38.96
Fairly New Game #3: (same equation) = ~$38.96

TOTAL: ~$116.88

~$116.88/3 = ~$38.96 per game

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given there hasn't been a confirmation on the B2G1 free sale on used games, you'd be taking a gamble if you decided to wait. I've got my fingers crossed though.. I've been itching to blow my $104 in GS credit on a few games. >:D

The problem is actually finding games you want in stock from online. Not to mention unless you're buying ps3 games they come scratched to hell when purchased online. I don't think I've received a single working 360 game from their online store yet.

I've ordered 3 360 games online from gamestop and all three were completely scratched to hell even though they were resurfaced. I just got them exchanged in store (except for the 1 that no stores have within 80 miles).
 
Also, thank you so much to all the posters above showing that online prices are cheaper than in store. ;)No shit. ;) I hope u find all the games you want online. :lol:
And thanks for letting us know that the price per game with B2G1 is cheaper than 25% off. ;)No shit.;) Every single GS coupon thread and every single GS B2G1 thread always has this stupid debate solved with basic math skills.
 
GS hasn't had a reason to offer X% off coupons without requiring a purchase. Any that I've visited have been very low in inventory since the holidays. Let them build up some stock and we will likely see them again.

[quote name='Jiggadabaptist']Found a copy of used copy of Ico, but with no manual. How important is that manual to gameplay?[/QUOTE]

Not to essential if you can stuck you can always google it.

I'm mostly likely gonna trade in my final fantasy 13 for $45 with promo and edge and buy it back for $35 with coupons. The gamestop I go to has no problem with buy backs.
 
Only good reason to pickup GOW3 at Gamestop is because they're exclusive skin is more badass looking than the Amazon one. Amazon pwns otherwise.

Thanks, was wondering about that... I just wanted to play it, but I can't stand incomplete games... Especially if the manual includes some important tip like how to block or when you can use certain weapons...

Thanks again.

The little smiling and winking emoticons means I'm only kidding.

I must not sleep much because I obviously must have a lot of free time on my hands. ;)
 
Bah, I can't find my receipt for my GOW3 preorder. Does GS need to see the actual receipt, or will they be able to tell through my EDGE card or driver's license? Thanks

So my Gamestop I have GoW III preordered at only has 1 used copy of NBA 2K10 on 360, and it's disc only in a Gamestop case. If I get it with the coupon tonight, could I then exchange it at another Gamestop that would have the game, manual, and original case?
 
maybe I can find some kid who's buying the game to let me use the coupon or something. I don't want GOW 3 but I miss Demon's Souls dearly
 
Picked up GOW III and FF XIII using the coupon today. Only paid $33 out of pocket after trading in some games that were just collecting dust. I know its not the best deal out there but Im happy about it.

uh, 2006? lol

yes
 
[quote name='donut']uh, 2006? lol

yes[/QUOTE]

I wasn't sure because I was using the coupon, if it would cause a problem because the game would be a different price during the exchange than it was during the purchase.

Doesn't matter as I didn't do it. 1. because I forgot the coupon, and 2. I really won't be playing it right now.
 
Since there aren't three games I would want during a B2G1 sale I went ahead and bought GoW3 with FXIII. I then went to return GOW3 at a different store. The employee got really rude with me for not wanting the game. He asked me what was wrong with me and proceeded to tell me how the game was better than sex.

I explained to him why I don't like GoW but he just rolled his eyes. I don't like button mashing games especially when you can't proceed if you don't do them fast enough.

[/QUOTE]

If ANY game is better than sex, then you aren't doing it right. Of course, he works at GS - he's probably never even kissed a real girl :)
 
My 2 gamestops said that they are not doing B2G1 before the game day sale. So hopefully they are BSin.
