**UPDATE 1: 3/30/11: The Buy 2 Get 2 Free (GBA/PS2/GC) does not start until April 18th, and ends on April 24th.**
**UPDATE 2: 3/31/11: Apparently the Buy 2 Get 1 Free and 50% Trade Bonus may not (but still could) be happening during this sale. My source tells me that stores received signs and flyers to advertise the two promotions with the power saver sale stuff, but upon further review of the instructions it indicates that stores should hold onto these for future use. So basically that does not guarantee those two promotions will occur during the Power Saver Sale duration, but also does not rule it out from happening. **
**Update 3: 4-2-11: The 50% and B2G1 should be happening next week. My source showed me their managers packet that shows all upcoming promos and such. B2G1 was in there starting next week. The 50% bonus credit was not, but as that person said they always ship signing and never put that in the packet, it normally comes in the form of an email or message board.
**EDIT Update 4: 4-3-11 B2G1F on pre-owned is going to start on the 7th for PUR members
**Update 5: 4-16-11: B2G2F on all pre-owned PS2,GBA, and GameCube games starts 1 day early (Sunday 4-17-11) for PowerUp Rewards Members. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah - the manager here that I like was telling a girl he was going to have her come in this week to sticker all the stuff for the sale. In his words 'You know, the sale where we have to gut like 300 games and put price stickers all over them." I love that guy
I thought about making this thread yesterday when my friend who is a manager told me about the power saver sale but wanted to wait till I had the list to post but alas you saved me some work, thanks!
A couple of titles we were speculating are Borderlands GOTY and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
I usually hate these sales though, and that's coming from an ex-employee. Yeah, there's sometimes 1-2 good titles, but the availability of those are low, and it's only if you somehow missed some of the big titles through the years.
If it's online it's good if it's in store.............It will greatly depend on your GS. Totally ymmv. One GS by me has very few and very crappy gamecube games, the other has a couple decent ones and more selection but I don't know if I can find 4 good games I haven't played.
Last year wasn't great, not sure I picked anything up. But two years prior I got Valkyrie Chronicles on the PS3 for around $20 or $25 and that was well worth it.
Oh I forgot gamestop does the yearly bin sale. I am hoping for a deal on borderlands goty edition. My PC basically died and I want to play all the DLC.
God I love borderlands, but hell any good games really that I don't own and are cheap are fine by me.
Unless you have GS credit or giftcards you missed out on 2 of the 3 last week DA2 not 3 was $30 @ BB w/purchase of Crysis 2. Crysis 2 came with a $10 giftcard & another $10(500 RZ bonus points) for pre-ordering. KZ3 could've been had w/a $40 giftcard and another recent release at TRU on KZ3 release week. I was lucky enuf to get BB to price match the TRU deal and get KZ3 + bulletstorm for $40 ea. & they "charged" me $40 for the giftcard.
