man, most of their stock is out now... what happened???

I checked the site just a minute ago for PS2 games.  Out of 1400ish preowned games and accessories, 2 are available online.  I think someone realized what a bath they were taking and decided to fix something.

They probably just destroyed everything rather than continue to hemmorage money on shipping. Now I kind of wish I ordered more.

Yeah. Shipping literally killed it.

That and maybe the high return rate they were having from people like us who were unhappy about the condition their games arrived in. Hopefully they at least fulfill the orders people already have in. Out of the 17 games I ordered last week, only 7 have shipped.

Well, even if they stopped selling. I just got an email that another item of mine has shipped. So fingures crossed.

Their shipping really didn't make any sense. I ordered 22 games and got 18 different packages. From a business standpoint, that makes no sense in any way.

 

On the bright side, got all my games now. Three needed cleaning or UMD case swaps, but at least they all work now. Bummed that I didn't get a single one with manual or cover art though.

I hope that the gamestops ship their extra games to their main warehouse, and then from there they relist them back up online...

I think GS should fulfill orders that were previously made.  That would be the right thing to do ...

Update - Of the 17 i most recently ordered, 8 have arrived, 1 will arrive today and 8 more have not shipped yet. On the down side, 4 of the games that havent shipped yet are the 4 PSP games that rang up free from the two 4-packs I bought with the B2G2 promo, so those better not get cancelled!

On the positive side, Sakura Wars for the Wii came Complete with case and manual and looks pretty much new!

I've received 11/22 of the PS2 games I ordered on October 1st. The others haven't shipped yet.

Anyone having issues with check out picked out about 15 DS games and now I just get a "Oops!
We've encountered a problem processing your order. We have not charged you and your order has not been placed. Please try again or contact Customer Care at 1-800-883-8895." message every time I try to check out. Tried 3 different payment methods and got the same thing.

I had that issue when checking out some ps2 games a week or so ago. It had to do, I think, with some games not being instock but also not getting removed from my cart.

 

 

Also, the site has just been crazy slow for me the past month or so. I would assume that could be an issue also.

I went by a GameStop the other day, and they had a few big boxes full of PS2, DS, PSP games etc. all in those yellow disc envelopes sitting on the side of their counter. Other GameStops probably have those laying around somewhere. Maybe hiding them in the back.

Glad I got all my games. Kind of hesitant to place any more orders now...

Fuck it I give up. About 20+ things I would like to get but if there site is going to act like crap and pop up an error everytime I check out then it ain't worth the hassle. I'm guessing it's like you said a few of the games in my cart are out of stock and the systems fudging up. Did a quick search and all games are still "available" on their product pages so it would probably take a lot of guess work to find which ones are the issue :P.

Rather than shipping from a warehouse, they were pulling stock from GameStop stores that still carried the software and having those stores ship out as needed.

It has been mentioned before in this thread but I feel it is worth mentioning again. Check your credit cards and PayPal statements if you bought mass quantities from GameStop. GameStop has tried to charge me twice some things. They bill me when the the original order is placed for the full order and than they bill me again when some of my items ship. These are usually the items that they seem to take forever to get in the mail. As an added bonus I received a GameStop gift card in the mail for $1.95 and I have no idea why.

Yup, Gamestop charged my PayPal account twice and I've filed a dispute.

Well this is odd. I wonder if GS reprinted Dragon Quest IV. Before this restock only 4 stores had copies. Now,almost every store in Phoenix has one. With packaging is a different story.

I absolutely hate GameStop's disc/cart-only reprints. Cave Story 3D and Dokapon Kingdom will never be CIB in my collection, and I hate that.

Every GameStop around me has at least a copy of DQ4, so you might be right about something weird going on. My guess is that this isn't a real reprint just like the Nier restock, but rather just a bunch of old stock being sent to stores.

Wouldn't surprise me if these were all new copies of DQ4 with their cases thrown out to save space. After all, DQ4 was overprinted, sold poorly, and was clearanced out at a lot of places (the opposite of DQ5 which was underprinted due to sales of DQ4), so this could just be overstock being cleared out of the GS warehouse.

Sorry to hear that, mate.  Hope you get that sorted out.  I've been keeping a close eye on my charges.  I do see Gamestop put on pending charges, but I've noticed that a lot of those never get posted.  

 

To date, the amount charged is correct.  Hopefully, it stays that way.  I've got 20 games pending. Frankly, don't mind if they just cancel them all at this point ...

I know. That was what I meant. It doesn't make sense for them to ship out 18 different packages costing $2 and change each when the customer has only paid $3.50 for shipping.

Not again. Learn my lesson last month. Bought like 15 games and sent 10 plus packages spread over several weeks. Was worry they over charge. And all of them in crappy condition. Yes. it is cheap but not worth the hassle for me. Thank you for the update tho.

I was really amazed that all of the ps2 games I ordered were shipped out in just a bubble mailer with no case, yet arrived fine via UPS.  I had someone do the same thing with the USPS and the disc arrived in 2 pieces.

few more ds/psp games recently came in stock for shipping.  Someone sniped God Eater Burst from me as I was checking out  :-({|=

2 more of the games I ordered 2 weeks ago have finally shipped. That means I still have 6 more to go - 3 PSP games and 3 more DS games.

I was able to snag a couple games I've been looking for, like Magician's Quest DS.  Saver and Cag16 stacked this morning...shockingly.
