This is a great time to clear out accessories for a 50% bonus. Goodbye extra joycons I never use...

I might be this. Every time I pick up a cheap Wii it comes with a million different accessories.

Do we have confirmation that this is live in store?

So has anyone don't a trade and picked up a $10 PSN or Live card?  Is that a real promo?  Don't really want credit but would grab a $10 card if it makes sense.

 

Want to trade God of War.  $30 base (I bought it used so no $40 coupon).  Is the current promo 40% on top of that (I am Elite).

 

$42 sounds a bit too good to be true. 

For me - the cashier had to add one of the cards to my checkout and the promo automatically added itself. It worked after I asked to try it, and what the best trade in promos were, mentioning this one and it is on the website, and he denied it existed/was active...

I'm waiting to trade until Saturday, just in case it is Pro Day.

I never ask anymore. Most of the time, I know more about their job than they do.

I’m guessing it will be the 19th. They really like to build it up...so we’re extra disappointed when the ad finally leaks

I just got back and got $45 for a game (God of War) with a $25 base.  Someone printed out the promo (was hard to read) and hung it on the rack with the gift cards.  They were out of the $10 PSN cards.  Wasn't sure if they code they printed would work.  Asked the cashier who didn't even know about the promo.  He put a $10 PSN code in and it came up to $45 minus $10 for the PSN card.  

 

Not bad I paid $43.99 for it last week.

 

$30 base

  $3 Promo #21451

  $6 Promo #21220

  $6 Powerup Card

$45 total

Yes. Boosting base values is what trade promos do. I would guess you'll get around $45 for it taking into account the 10% with the 40% boosts.

$45 was it.  Thanks.

Just traded in some games and accessories 10% + 40% PSN card bonus are stacking.

Based on the timing of the last Pro Day, it seems like next Saturday will be the day.

Received $49 in trade credit for God of war today with my "$40" guarantee code. Didn't finish it, but will pick it up again once it's cheaper or when there's a b2g1 deal.

I'm considering doing the same...any reason why you traded it now versus waiting til it's closer to the 13th when the 30% expires?

I just got a bunch of the Pokémon mega construx sets for a pretty good discount. The middle evolution sets were $4.xx and big Gyrados was $20. I have a bunch of them now.

Looks like the original evolutions are still $11. My store didn't have those, but the other sets were cheaper than the site too.

They end up pretty rad when they're done.


I should have scooped up the Call of Duty Mega Bloks and Mega Construx sets before they clearanced those out. Little bad asses are the closest things to G.I.Joes you can find these days. Good score on the Pokemon sets though!

Call me crazy, but it looks like the prices of used top tier games has been raised. With Elite Donkey Kong is listed at 45.59 on the app...Nothing like paying for a deeper discount then raising the base price.

Yep. 56.99 now looks to be standard used price for switch games at least.

Also some games are on sale, that wasn't last night. MHW dropped down to $40 new, PO dropped as well. Also some POPs were showing up in a cart for $3.50 but now most is showing $8.98 online/incart 

 

Have the gift card issue been resolved yet? I tried using my online and it was a no go. Do I go in the store and called CS?

Reading the Gamestop Reddit and even the employees aren't happy about it. They know that it's become damn near impossible to sell pre-owned over new with such a small difference. Add in that stupid warranty and you're paying the same price.

Whoever buys the warranty should have their heads examined.

Pretty close to getting the Platinum in god of war. Just need some of the collectable trophies and I'll be done. Great game. I don't have a $40 trade coupon so I'll trade towards psn credit I suppose.

One of the new workers tried to convince a guy he needed warranty. Guy said no. Employee tells him it’s totally worth it, because even though he takes care of his stuff, last week he’d bought a game and it worked, then just sitting in its case it broke 🤦🏻‍♂️
