NEW Gamerush Deals thread - This place still rocks

I guess they might think those titles might not sell as well, but then business sense would say duh if people already paid for it get it for them you wouldnt have to worry if the game would sell since its already sold. But most of the mainstream titles they pretty much are guaranteed to get, which I think is still very good.

That was why people were saying that when you are preordering, you should go by the Gamerush preorder list to make sure they are going to get it. I know when I was doing the preorder trade in deal, a lot of stuff I wanted to get was not on the list and they were very strict about not letting me pick any title and making it $30 like in the offer. So I was forced to get about 3 or 4 games that I would have waited on but still overall it was a good deal.

[quote name='Joe Fongul']I am none too happy with GR at the moment, because I just had another prebook go awry. I prebooked Shin Megami Tensai: Nocturne but was told that they would not have any copies of the game what so ever. So I then went and transferred the prebook over to Taiko Drum Master which they had 4 on order. Well...I called today and was told that they would not be getting any copies in at all.
Out of the last 5 prebooks since Sep, I have only been able to pick up one (Paper Mario), the other four (Gradius V, Monster Hunter, SMT: Nocturne and Taiko). Not exactly the greatest deal ever now is it

Those are pretty non mainstream...i haven't gotten T3 redemption, Otogi 2, or Neo Contra...the rest I have

My local GR is accepting preorders on the Nintendo DS . I preordered one since i've been wanting a GBA:SP and never got around to getting one. $10 down (my store credit) and pay the rest with my store credit later.
Now to pick up those GBA games i've been wanting to play for cheap.
11-21 is getting close.

11-1 is the experation date on the $8 per dvd trade in deal![/quote]
I was told today that 11-1 was also the end of the +$5 per game traded in. He said that one of the next months promotions was buy 2 get 1 free on preowned. Seems about the same as buy 1 get one 1/2 off to me but someone may like it. He didn't know about any other deals. As with alot of GR deals, this may be YMMV.

Well I heard that one or both deals may end by the end of the weekend so I took my last 4 DVDs and 10 games to get credit. I just wanted to confirm what I had heard and the manager agreed that it would be over next week. I only asked about the +$5 since I did not have any more DVDs to trade in.
I am wanting several new games for Christmas and I wanted to have enough credit built up to get them. The 2 deals are the best for building up credit up for new games. I finally got enough ($380 after todays run). I was hoping they would add the tade in one get 10 or 20 off any new game. A similar coupon has been showing up in some magizines but I have only been able to find one. I need about 7.

i talked to a CSR and they told me a promotion that is coming up. I think it would take the place of the +5 trade in promo. The promo is that gamerush will beat any other stores trade in value by 10%, kind of like a price match thing that we've seen at CC's and BB's.

There is an option on the menus at Blockbuster to match a competitor's trade-in price.
I could be wrong, but I believe the $8 per DVD deal runs another two weeks. Same with the trade 3, get an extra $5 per game. I'll check the calendar at work tomorrow.
Each Gamerush store (at least in my area) is only alloted 5 DS preorders. One guy came in to our store today and preordered two. Since we only had two left I preordered one after I got off of work. The minimum amount you can put down is supposed to be $25.
And lastly, if you're going to preorder games from Gamerush, stick to the mainstream titles. We do not order many of the niche titles, even games like Karaoke Revolution. Unfortunately, if an item shows up in computer we're still able to accept preorders for it, even if we're not going to actually get any in stock.

I preordered 1 and only had to give $10 down, i'm going back in tomorrow and cancel my wwe: raw vs smackdown preorder and just use that $53 towards the DS and go ahead and pay off the DS with more credit. I'm gonna rent it and see how good it is, with GTA:SA last week and Halo 2 next week i'm not gonna play wwe that much..... I'll have to ask how many other preorders they have taken for it but the guy guaranteed i would get it on release and he's the head GR guy at the location.

in regards to the question about Dead or Alive: Ultimate, check with an official gamerush employee.
i was at gamerush last wednesday, and i asked one of the employees if he could check on a game (Dead or alive). so he looked it up, said they didn't have it in, i asked if they would even get it in, he said no. i figure no big deal.
i go back on friday to rent something else, and just on a whim i happen to ask another dude (he actually specializes in the gamerush section) whether they would ever get DOA:U in, he said they got it in on wednesday and if i wanted it i could purchase it. so i did
the odd thing was they had no display cases, no advertisements, no rental versions, nothing letting anyone know that they had gotten the game in and were selling it.
also, one thing you can do is go to www.blockbuster.com. then go to the games section, type in dead or alive, find DOA: U and do a store look up. it will tell you whether the game is CARRIED at any particular store. it doesn't necessarily mean the game is in-stock at the store, but at least if it says "This title IS CARRIED at this location" you know you have a chance.

Just got back from GR, and before anybody has a problem, realize that I asked at each step if I could do each deal and the 2 GR employees discussed it at each step and reviewed the terms of the deals.
Traded (prices are all after extra $5, and yes they did the thing of you only get the extra $5 for the three games, any additional would not get the extra $5 so I kept another game I was going to trade)
GTA double pack (GTA 3 and Vice City) for X-box got $25
X-men Legends X-box $35
Star Wars Battlefront X-Box $40
plus $6 tax, so I got $106 in credit
They also had a deal posted in store, get any new game for $29.99 with a trade. I asked since I traded 3 games, could I get 3 games for $29.99 and he said yes (and yes this was a GR person, not just a BlockBuster person). However, he said I could not use the Mortal Kombat CE as one of them, but they did have a newly traded in pre-owned Mortal Kombat CE that had everything with it, for $54.99. To which I replied can I use this trade 3 get any PreOwned for $10 coupon in addition to all the other deals on the Mortal Kombat CE, to which he said sure.
So I picked up
Paper Mario $29.99 after discount
DOA Ultimate $29.99 after discount
BloodRayne 2 (X-Box) $29.99 after discount
Pre-owned Mortal Kombat Deception CE for $10 after coupon,
total $99.97 +6 tax = $105.97
so I actually left with a little bit of credit added to my account and 4 killer games.
Unfortunately I wanted Bard's Tale, but they only had it for rental and had not received the for sale copies. I asked if I could purchase 1 of the rental copies and found out that the GR employee did actually know how to say no after telling me yes on all the other things...

I used the trade and get any game coupon to get Mortal Kombat CE for 39.99 today. Interestingly enough they rejected my KOTOR as a trade because they had too many.

I used the trade and get any game coupon to get Mortal Kombat CE for 39.99 today. Interestingly enough they rejected my KOTOR as a trade because they had too many.
I traded in 4 games today and 2 dvd's today. I picked up 2 of the "best of 2004" games for 50% off with two trade in's. Best part is, I think I got the $5 extra combined with the 50% off deal because some of the trade-in prices seem kind of high.
Here is what I traded. I think these have the 5$ extra added
Lord of the Rings ROTK (GCN, player's choice) $13
Pikmin (player's choice) $12
Kill Switch (PS2) $17
Max Payne 2 (PS2) $8
Picked up Psi-Ops and Chronicles of Riddick for 50% off. They were both marked $29.99 but I think Psi-Ops rang up as $19.99, because after the 50% off I got both games for ~$27 including tax.

I went back in today to trade off the last of my dvds i dont want for $8 each credit, the movie deal ends tomorrow the guy said they dont promise a minimum now.
I used that credit towards my preordered DS and asked about the number of systems each store would get. GR guy said his store is guaranteed to get as manyu as they have preordered by their customers, up to a certain number. But their supplier is making them show proof of preorders so they dont have a bunch of extra systems and the rest of the country is hunting for them. BS? I don't know but he said they had only preordered 5 systems and i'm #5 since i did it yesterday. SOOOOOOOO i wait..............

sword of mana is $20 new or $15 used at my gamerush
I picked up the used copy, it looks like it was never played. They mislabeled unreal 2 at $15 instead of $22 and it looked like it was never played either.
So i got sword of mana mint for $15 and unreal 2 mint for $7.50(buy one get one 50% off)
this seems like a decent deal to me, esp considering all the GR credit i have right now.
I need to thank all the cheapasses who just buy games to trade into GR in my area, bc I have been reaping some of their trade ins.

[quote name='drfrielgood']There is an option on the menus at Blockbuster to match a competitor's trade-in price.
I could be wrong, but I believe the $8 per DVD deal runs another two weeks. Same with the trade 3, get an extra $5 per game. I'll check the calendar at work tomorrow.
Each Gamerush store (at least in my area) is only alloted 5 DS preorders. One guy came in to our store today and preordered two. Since we only had two left I preordered one after I got off of work. The minimum amount you can put down is supposed to be $25.
And lastly, if you're going to preorder games from Gamerush, stick to the mainstream titles. We do not order many of the niche titles, even games like Karaoke Revolution. Unfortunately, if an item shows up in computer we're still able to accept preorders for it, even if we're not going to actually get any in stock.[/quote]
Hey Dr. Do you know when Gamerush is going to take pre-orders on the PSP? I've got $300 in credit burning a whole in my pocket...

Alright, a couple updates on the deals:
Trade 3 games, get an extra $5 per game ends on 11/8.
Buy 1 used game, get 1 used game 50% off also ends on 11/8.
On 11/9 the following promotions begin and will run until 1/10:
Buy 2 used games, get any used game for free. This temporarily takes the place of the buy 1, get 1 half off deal.
Trade any 3 PS1, PS2, GCN, XBox, or GBA games, get any used game for $10. I cannot believe this deal will include PS1 games. This will definately be awesome!

The trade 3, get a used for $10 is good at all Gamerush locations.
The trade 1 get any new game for $29.99 ends for some locations and then will start up at three or four different markets. None in Michigan, sadly.

Went yesterday to trade in Wario World ($13), DMC2 ($13) and Voodoo Vince ($12), and use the trade 3 get a PO for $10 to get Fable. Unfortunately they didn't have any copies of Fable that they could find, which royally ticked me off. the computer said they had 2 in stock.
So, I just got Onimusha 3 for $10 and Viewtiful Joe (GC) for 1/2 off which came to $7.50.
I still have $19.50 from this run and $40 from an old run, but i'm pissed they didn't have Fable or any newer pre-owns. oh well.

Oh, real quick.......on the trade 1 get any new for $30......won't work at my local GR. They lady said they didn't have that deal running. I wanted to get Shadow Hearts: Covenant.
I go to the Shelby, MI store. Generally okay on the quality and quantity of games, but definitely not great...FYI.

so trade in some new releases like fable or some other pricey game for $40 then buy it back next week for $10 after trading in 3 shitty psone sports titles. Of course, this is a good way for them to flag your account and ban you from the store *lol* but hell, at this point, i mean, i have gotten so many great deals from them, getting banned wouldnt be the end of the world.
Some folks are not fanboys and will trade in high dollar games for $40 credit. (check this thread out if you dont believe me)

I only wish I could abuse a deal... I have been limited to using any promotion to 2 times a month tops, this included the +5 deal. My other gamerush limited me to 2 of any single game ever, which killed my sports trade in loophole, and they have also begun rejecting games if they have too many of a single title in stock.
