GS FAQ

Where is the weekly ad?

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.

Where are you guys getting that there will be a b2g1 sale this week? I went in store and asked and the clerks said that its not happening. I find this crazy bc I cant recall a b2g1 free not happening black friday week
 
It's not Black Friday yet. Store employees aren't supposed to divulge anything that isn't public info. Check back Friday.
I know they shouldnt but they were willing to talk about the confidential store circular they had and said it mentioned b2g1 free anywhere. Like you said tho, we will see friday

You're highly unlikely to get any information like that out of an employee you don't have a relationship with. To further confirm what I posted a couple of weeks ago: Had a different employee from a different store tell me the B2G1 on preowned is Friday and ends Monday.

I'm waiting for this too, but capcom usually makes a gold edition disc version with the DLC included as a code. I haven't seen this yet in the US. What gives Capcom?

They're been slow with physical versions of their games lately. Probably RE4 Complete Gold will come out in March as an anniversary edition
 
I did a online order for store pick up but realized I likely won't be able to pick it up in the 3 day window. I saw the order status has a cancel option but it basically just says to call the store to cancel or wait 3 days and it'll cancel automatically. Is this a pretty reliable thing, that it'll just cancel and I'll get my refund? Or is this one of those things where it's kind of iffy? If it's automatic and I can avoid calling the store, that'd be gravy.
 
Order 1, $78.33: Silent hill 2 remake, LOU part II remastered, epic mickey rebrushed (Sw)
Order 2, $69.33: Cyberpunk ultimate edition (Xbox DLC on disc), rise of ronin, metroid prime remastered

Some of these games will also be on sale at Walmart on BF and brand new, but I have GS credit, so I would rather use that.
 
Hard to decide. Silent hill could be $30 again and brand new. Thinking of pulling the trigger on SH2, x2 astrobot (one as a gift) for $30 each. Rise of the ronin, dragons dogma should be $30 somewhere. Already got fantazio, sparking zero and stellar blade. Star Wars outlaws? I’ll wait longer lol. Just hope I have some luck getting the original cases
 
Man the B2G1 is tempting, and if I could get a PS5 disc drive, even more so, but I just don't want to deal with the potential used game, incomplete or not working properly bullshit. It wasn't worth my time last year.
 
So a new Gamestop guessing game for the B2G1 free??

Get this message at checkout but it doesn't actually tell me what game is out of stock, lol:

One or more of the products selected cannot ship to the address entered. Please review shipping address or products selected.

Is Brothership one of them? It happened to me and then I removed that game to get the error gone. I’m assuming Brothership preowned sold out.
 
Just recently finished Stellar Blade, it was a really great game overall.

Strong nods to Nier Automata, which I loved. I am curious to see how this new DLC turns out (for Stellar Blade).

I will say, the last boss almost ruined the game for me. The next to last boss was pretty difficult also, but I was able to handle that one after a bit of practice and looking up suggestions on setting up your character for the fight. But wow, the last boss was pretty ridiculous with a gigantic spike in difficulty.
