[quote name='Zonic505']Whoops. Looks like only 3 codes this month. But if those release date are true for next month (I know the Dissidia 012 one is correct), looks like there'll be a ton of codes next month to get.

BONUS POINTS WARNING!!

If you register Lord of Arcana by Feb. 16th, you get an extra 50 points!

& now I'm REALLY wishing my Blockbuster & Family Video would carry PSP games for rental....[/QUOTE]

they should be true, next time you go to gamestop, ask for a print out of all the upcoming games for all the systems you want to know of. I ask for them all. That gives all the console, handheld, and PC. When I did it last, forgot about the Nintendo 3DS. He printed that one out too as well, didn't think any sounded/looked like a SE game, so not sure yet..

Supreme Commander 2 PC is on sale at newegg for $4 (free ship) - you can get it for the points perhaps.

Arakias, do you know if its new or not? I was checking that out and can't see if it says its new or used. I'd asume its new, but IDK..

Those of you aiming to hit 1000 points to become ultimate rank this year, please heed my words.


LAst year the goal for ultimate sat at 1000 all the way until the end of february. however in february they recalculated based on the number of titles released and dropped all the required point values significantly. Last year ultimate tier only required 800 or so (i had 880). i suggest holding all points you gain untill it gets closer as they may drop the requirement again. you cans ave any extra points untill next year
 
From what I've heard, they've already done that this year. It was originally 1,600 for Gold, & 1,960 for Ultimate. Near the beginning of Jan., they changed it so it's only 750 for Gold & 1,000 for Ultimate.

But yeah, it would be a good idea to wait until the last week or so. Never know what'll happen.
 
I doubt they will drop it twice. Also, I dont recall them changing the goal last year - I got ultimate - but could be wrong.
 
yeah I don't remember them dropping it last year either, but maybe they did, kinda doubt it though, seeing as they knew all the games there were coming out in year one..
I know you all know it, but if you do need codes, just check my trade list for the codes, I don't mind making trades and helping you out =D

Newegg ALWAYS ships new... only hardware they might ship "recertified" or "refurbished".

I've gone to a couple different gamestops I go to, and not one of them has the mindjack games or the lord of arcana, its crazy. So as of right now I need those codes lol =P And in case you want to know, the PS3 MindJack is 91025

and thanks xycury, I like to know things =P
 
not that any of you really care to know, but I re-updated my code trade list, got a couple codes I didn't have before, meaning FFCC: Echoes of Time (DS) and
Order of War (PC). So just a couple more thats up for trade. Enough codes to get to 1000 points from a brand new SE account.

EDIT: nvm, almost enough to get an account from 0 to 1000. Forgot a couple of the codes are in a trade that only has one of them, so that would mean theres 900 points up for grabs. Hopefully 1050 if I can find the mindjacks and arcana..

does your signature only pop up on one post per page? I don't get it.. It shows the signature thing selected, but usually whenever I post it doesn't pop up..
Looking above on this page only one post on it has my signatuer (hence, thats where I'm thinking only one post per page).

Yes, it only shows up once on each page of a thread.
 
*arm chug*

30points till Gold.
330points till Ultimate.

This is pretty difficult though. I can't imagine what you folks must have went through to get ultimate status for both years. :| I still think this year is gonna be some sort of figurine though.
 
I know what you mean. I'm glad I discovered this thread, as it's really helped me out. I was barely lucky to even get Silver last year.

Wonder how much longer until they announce the prizes. Last year, they were announced near the end of Feb., so perhaps sometime next month?
 
I haven't seen this posted yet here:

Space Invaders Extreme 2 - DS - $10 (Walmart)
Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume - DS - $10 (Walmart)
Pony Friends 2 - DS - $8.96 (Walmart)

I bought the first two. I think these will bring me to Gold. Now, to find out what the Ultimate prize is. I hope it's something as coveted as a limited edition iPod.

Also, thanks for the post about SC2 on the cheap at newegg. I picked that up as well, so I'm definitely Gold.

Wow thats pretty cool.. Thanks for the heads up on those. I already have the codes obviously =P But wouldn't mind picking up the games for that cheap

EDIT: I went to my local Wally World, and checked for the games, they didn't have a single one *tear* =( I asked a clerk that was putting prices on new stock and she said she hasn't seen any lately, oh well I tried..

Crap! That's too bad. :( I guess they're online only. You could have them shipped to store like I did.

By the way, my girlfriend bought me FFXIII a few months ago -- a new copy from the shelf and not a sealed one from storage -- and it didn't come with a code. Are GameStop employees hoarding these codes from new, opened copies? That's not very cool. :cry:

if its an opened copy, its kinda fair game really.. Thats How I take it anyways. If you want the code, better to say something like "Is there a new unwrapped copy?" and if not, then ask if they have the code, some gamestops pull everything out of them.
and of course, if they don't have it, then its your call. If you only want it for the code, try a different store like Wal Mart.

Of course, if all else fails, trade something for the code on this. I got some ;)
 
Valkyrie Profile DS is $10 at Gamestop but not online and store stock is likely limited. You can use their site to find out if a store has it near you but then its also likely gutted.
 
Final Fantasy IV: Complete Collection for PSP is arriving April 19th, so while you can't use it this reward year, it'll help you regain your points for the next reward year.

Update: The 3rd Birthday hits US March 29th, 2 days before the reward year ends.

just like arakias said, buy the game for 4 bucks on newegg otherwise, I trade for guides and such, don't need codes. Got the Supreme Commander 2 and Order of War
 
neir 360 x3

fme ps3
kh bbs psp
crystal bearers wii
space bust a move ds
ffxiii ps3 x3
ffxiii 360
kh 358/2

There's my extras.
 
Is there anything in particular you want for them?

I hope they do another bonus for registering a game, like when registering Birth By Sleep, you got the free theme, or the bonuses for registering FF13 (PS3 was the FF14 beta & item, 360 was avatar outfit, as I recall). I'd totally dig a Dissidia 012 theme for registering it.
 
Hey all. This is your friend zergtillian saying, this site screwed me over... (again) This time for something I haven't ever done, just like the last time, but this time it says its a permanent ban =( Trying to see if they will overturn it, due to the fact, I didn't do anything wrong.
What it claims I did is this, it claims I admitted to stealing from gamestop, and I've done no such thing. I did say at some point, that everyone on this forum here probably takes codes from gamestop. That doesn't mean its stealing does it? I have been told that it was fine by the store manager, sure I built up a friendship with this store manager, but either way he said he was fine with it. That goes the same for the reduced price guides thread. Wouldn't it be considered stealing if you walk a guide up and it rings up a penny? I think so, seeing as they aren't supposed to sell it to you, but guess what, you build up a friendship with the managers and they give it to you.
So therefore I building up a friendship with the store manager shouldn't be considered as stealing.. Do any of you agree with me on that?

I already know this account is gonna get deleted, but hopefully most of you I traded with and see on this forum posting can read this in time..

I've never stolen a code from gamestop. I jotted one down for Borderlands GOTY just for fun, but never intended on using it. So no, not everyone steals.

I mean, I feel bad wanting to trade my disk only copy of donkey kong for a complete one, cause I got it for $18, and that already felt like stealing.

Got it with the buy one get one 50%, and my new game was $39.99, so I didn't even exploit the bug!

Please, don't assume everyone is a criminal.
 
see what I mean though?
I don't think its considered stealing what I've done either. If a manager gives the okay, his job is on the line. So obviously if I was doing something I shouldn't of been doing, why is he still working there? I didn't steal, the worst I did is help out you fellow CAG's with getting to ultimate

I do not. Imagine you bought a copy of FF XIII and the reason you didn't get the code for the free Avatar outfit was because the manager is buddy buddy with another customer who profits off of trading the codes. Not many people would say, "Oh, then ok. That makes sense."

Also, that manager is an asshat. Just because he's letting you doesn't mean it's ok.
 
sorry I'm not getting this correctly =P
are you more leaning towards the banned side or the Un-ban side?
and loads of these games I did buy too as well. Like the FFXIII for 360 for example, I own the game

I don't think that it should be considered as stealing. Seeing as if the game is used, you get the code, odds are its already been used, and if not, then its "Oh wow, they could've used it but didn't" and if its a new game, they have brand new copies behind the counter that are still unopened. So if you buy a game new, thats when you ask for the behind the counter copy (which they usually always do anyways)

Personally, I don't care what you do. If you have an agreement with the manager that you're allowed to take codes, fine. Hell if the manager then lets you take all the manuals out of gutted games, since after all, there's sealed games behind the counter and they never sell gutted games, fine. Just don't make it sound innocent.

But again, that manager is an asshat if he lets you take codes out of gutted new games. And I'm sure you're going to say "but I only did it with used games." In which case, how were you sure you were trading valid codes, then?

There was a guy that worked at Best Buy with one of my friends that got fired a couple years ago for keeping free gift cards that came with purchases and handing them out to his friends. Essentially, you are doing the same thing only you make it worse by taking those codes and trading them for your own personal gain.

Just because it is used does not make it ok. The fact that the game can be traded in with a used code doesn't make it fine for you to just take them if they work. I think the part about this that definitely got you banned was not that you participate in questionable activity, but that you openly flaunt it on these forums by trading your stolen codes for actual items.

You getting banned is clearly based on your poor decision making regarding the whole situation.

I see where you are both saying, and no I do admit that I take from used and new games. But like I said, they do have unopened copies behind the counter, so those unopened ones are more for the people buying them new. Yeah it is kinda mean taking from the used copies that people can still buy, but I'm not trying to make it sound like I'm innocent taking codes from cases. I'm just saying I was given the okay. Everyone on this site that uses the reduced penny guide thread is doing the same thing I am doing. But worse usually, seeing as loads of the cases are people saying how they dumpster dive to do it.
And for knowing if the codes are unused, I know that because I test them out. If they are unused, its says you've already registered this game or it says what game it is.
If its been used it says this game has already been used

Unless a state has specific laws about dumpster diving that makes it illegal, how is it worse?
 
I'm just saying its the same thing. For all I know every gamestop in my state would allow me to take the codes. I talked to the store manager and he was cool with it. He never told me I have to be secretive about taking the codes or anything of that sort. So far as I can tell, just ask your gamestop if they mind and go from there

If you knew it was perfectly ok, you wouldn't be laying it on so thick with the "what these people do is the same or worse even!" commentary.

You're not stating the facts and just sticking to your story; instead, you're trying to compare your actions with what other people do in an effort to downplay them.

How a person explains himself in these types of situations is usually a tell tale sign of what happened.
 
I was wondering how long it would take for this to happen...

Anyway I think I have an extra Dissidia, Front Mission (360 I think), and BBS code. I think I still need Just Cause 2 (360), any of the weird Petz/Pony gamez, FF XIV, and I'm not sure what else there is.

Anyone have a full list of all the games that have codes in them?
 
fine whatever, I don't think what I've done is wrong, I don't think what you guys do getting penny/free guides is wrong either. I am just comparing two alike things.

Wow. Ever heard of the Golden Rule? Your morals seem off to me if you don't think it's wrong. Makes me and probably several other users not trust you.

I knew that employees would take codes, but I never thought that managers were actually aware of it and would let them do it. Someone needs to notify GameStop because they are stealing from games. Though they probably won't care since they're used games. What punks.

I'm currently buying or will trade for codes. I need every code except for KH 358/2 Days, FF XIII (Xbox 360 and PS3), Nier (Xbox 360 and PS3), FF Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time (DS), Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume, Dissidia, Kane & Lynch 2 (Xbox 360), and Just Cause 2 (Xbox 360). PM me if you have any.

Take your mission to ebay, where people who no doubt work with mass quantities of video games, such as GameStop employees, are selling the leaflet contents and other contents by the dozens. In fact, take your mission to every GameStop branch in existence. There is no gray area between customer and employee, so it appears that all employees are stealing by removing the contents of packages.

Now, leave this alone. This thread is meant for information about Square-Enix, not for bickering over the dichotomy of right and wrong.


I'm looking through my history, and I've noticed 130 bonus points in my account. Was this because their members weren't buying much? With an additional 130 points, I'd be a game away from Ultimate this year.

I need a code for Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. I think I have a Mindjack code for 360.
