So is there any way of finding out what games will be on sale before Friday?

Nice, I forgot about this.

Bad thing is last time there was a game I wanted (maybe two years ago? it was Valkrie Chronicles or whatever for $15), in-store they were all pre-opened, so I passed. But there's always online...

Noob question. Does the B2G1 free include the games that are on sale?

I think Red Dead will drop back to 29.99. I also agree with alanamaslama that Fable 3 will probably be cheap.


I wouldn't touch RDR for $30 knowing the greatest hits/GOTY edition is so close to releasing. Once they announce the next wave a GH's there will be B1G1 50% off or B2G1's sales right away.

There's almost always at least 3-4 actual good deals on new games during these. There's usually also tons of "deals" on used games but if you pay attention you'll find that most of those games officially drop in price in a week or two after the sale ends anyways.

Don't count on games that are really new like Crysis 2 and DA 2 though...

And I was going to use Friday to do some work. Now it looks like I'll be dragging myself to Gamestop to pick up a few GBA games before they get rid of all the good ones.

Might check out the GBA selection! Hopefully I'll find some Fire Emblem copies lying around somewhere.

B2G2 PS2 would be awesome.

Of course they would run this right after I buy a stack of 3DS games!

It's funny because most people who dislike GameStop love this sale and most GameStop employees who love themselves hate this sale.

Irony. I love it.

I hope they bring back the 50% bonus trade in promo. If I remember correctly, they've had it going on during past Power Saver sales.

Maybe then I could get Cooking Mama for $1

Yes. Just that the free game has to be the cheapest one in the bunch.

One employee told me how he thought he heard about Black Ops getting only a $10 discount. He also mentioned that the deal was going to be its longest running sale yet and be "about a month long."

I doubt they will since the Xbox 50% promo ends on Wednesday. Then again, maybe they'll have a PS3 one? :shrug:

Sale games are new. B2G1 are for preowned copies so no.

I stopped in a nearby GS today and the manager told me that his B2G1 starts this Friday, and that was all stores as far as he knew. Time to spend some $$$!

Two of my GS near me were told by corporate to trash the manuals and cases to used PS2, GCN, and DS games. I don't know if it is true for all stores, but these two stores had disc/cart only for those systems.
