GS FAQ

Where is the weekly ad?
They ended the weekly ad for more rotation of deals. Please check the homepage and deal link for the current deals.

I can't find a trade in value for an item?
It might not be tradable or calling a store to find the value may be the only option.

How many copies of a game can I trade in?
You are allowed to trade in 4 copies of the same game (same system) within a rolling 30 day period.

Can I use the $5 monthly coupon on gift cards?

Yes you can in store but not online please note not all gift cards will apply to this rule.

I have a $XX.xx pre-owned reward certificate, and I want to use it on a B2G1 transaction. Should I?
It depends. If the three games are equal value, do not use your certificate. The value of the certificate would be applied to the free game, which would not benefit you. If one game is more expensive, you can use the certificate to make it the same value as the other two games ($5 reward certificate applied to transaction with two $10 games and one $15 game would make all three games $10).



TERMINOLOGY AND LINGO:
ASL/SL: Assistant Store Leader, Store Leader; manager positions at GS.
B2G1: Buy two, get one free.
GS: GameStop
JD: Junior detective, an employee who is out to get someone
LP: Loss Prevention; this is the department that actually bans accounts after being flagged.
TC/TiC: Trade credit.
TIV/TV: Trade in value, or what a game currently trades for. When posting a TV for a game, always use the base value.

Currently, a Pro membership costs $19.99. You can shave off another $5 when you buy any new game. Ad shows $10 off, but promo discounts from regular price of Pro sub. So basically:

$19.99 Pro sub without buying a new game
$14.99 Pro sub with buying a new game
 
It is a good deal but I need to cut myself loose when my sub runs up early next year and go Pro less if I can help it

Such a chore to use the monthly $5

Especially since ‘retro’ has been all but cleared out and they’ve made centralized retro stores that have paltry selection that I’ve seen no more cheap ps3 finds with relative ease like a short period of time ago

they were available like 14 hours ago
 
I see they marked down the PS5 Disk version to $425 and Digital for $375. The Fortnite bundles weren’t popping up. I was thinking about grabbing one.

I may need to trade in some old stuff for some extra credit.

Really, this should've happened with both companies a long time ago. In general, Gamestop should've carried official repros a long time ago. Every once in a while a mom and pop shop will carry these, but mostly it's using website the vast majority of people that shop at Gamestop aren't aware of. I feel their general customer would impulse buy official repros because they remember playing on those systems when they were younger.

100%. They should use that meme money and buy LRG. They need each other. Limited Run GameStop.
 
I think they have to scan something. It's not supposed to be used on PS5s, but I don't think the POS will block it. Employees are supposed to deny it for PS5 systems.
Yes, you are right he scanned the barcode for the PS5 BF bundle it came up to $425, then he applied the $25 off code that dropped it down to $399. So then I guess the deal is YMMV. If it helps, the $25 promo # on my receipt is 30034.

Anyone randomly get an email saying “thanks for renewing pro your card on file will be charged”. When you didn’t renew pro and don’t have a card on file on that profile?

I had auto renew off but for some reason got the email and was actually charged. May be best to not have a card on file.

If subbed to PS+, you might get another slight discount depending on which games.
 
Just got back from Gamestop. I bought the BF Fortnite PS5 Slim Disc version and the price came up to $399. The $25 off of $250 promo applied.
Did you order it online and pickup in store or just bought it in store? It shows the PS5’s as eligible for $25 off of $250 but it’s not working now.
 
It worked on the regular PS5 Disc console but didn’t work on the Fortnite bundle. I also grabbed some cool stuff on clearance. Solid deal for $399.99. Didn’t have to pay tax since I used $340 in trade in credit.
That's odd that it didn't work on the Fortnite bundle for you, but it did for me. They must have changed something in their system during the day yesterday because I went right when the store opened at 12pm. Glad that you were able to get the deal for $399.99.

I was surprise. I called the store just to check and they mentioned the Fortnite bundle being excluded. I don’t play Fortnite anyway, but I’m extremely excited about a $399.99 PS5 without tax. Sales tax here would have made it close to $435.

Hopefully a few of the games get a bit cheaper. Stellar Blade, Pokemon: Legends of Arceus, Metaphor, and Dragonball Sparking being $30 or less would be wonderful.
 
Sigh. Lucky for those that traded in the OG First Version Phat PS5 models for $410 back in late August. 😭

Count me in. Sold my OG back then for $410 credit. Still have midnight slim and now 30th slim.

Saw someone traded in the phat PS5 today and he was quoted in the $200 range with store credit. When they opened it, tons of dust came out of it from the inside. Literally chunks of dustbunnies. The guy claimed he never played it too. It was gross.
