Anyone think the flash sale will pop back up this week or is this gone for good?

There's been a version of Half off 20 and under 3 or 4 times now over the last month and a half. Above that, it's harder to tell.

[IMikeU]

I believe cag16 is back.... does anyone know if the Sony $8.99 titles apply for the B2G2 in the store?

[Zenax]

Whatever their plan is, it looks like they are trying to drain stores of old inventory for a restructuring. They clearly want to get rid of PS3, Xbox360, and lower valued current gen games with all of these "flash" sales. I went into a store and was surprised to see no collectibles or Pops, just games and digital currency cards.

I had to go into my local store a couple of days ago to buy a DS game cause their website still continues to suck. Guy working there told me that I should get anything I have an interest in because they're getting rid of the DS/3DS section "very soon." I assume that means 360 and PS3 stuff are on the way out as well then.

[IMikeU]

I could see some 360 sticking around due to bc, ds probably done with due to repros, ps3 gone due to not being bc. 3ds may stick around a tad, but with no new games... everyone has moved on to the switch.

If they drop last gen systems, I'll bet they also stop doing "retro" as well and just deal in the more current systems. Their retro reserves are basically completely depleted by this point as it is. It would be an interesting approach.

Really wish they would have spaced out the 50% off Flash sales a bit. There were a couple of games I wanted that were 29.99 (Control, for one) but I didn't want to put in another order after taking advantage of the <=24.99 Flash sale a couple days prior. Wallet needs a break and I haven't been making progress on my backlog because of Rocket League, lol.

Well fwiw I am pretty sure he was talking about in store, not in general. I would guess they're just going to ship off all the old stuff to a warehouse and continue to sell it online. At our store there are barely any older games left anyway so I am not surprised they're planning on getting rid of the rest of them.

[detsportsfan3]

I would expect another B2G2 on last gen soon. Clears out old inventory and forces you to buy 4 games.

GS is removing games from their search engine as well.

 

Kotodama 7 Mysteries is apparently removed from their catalog.  OK, kind of a sexist game anyways, since you can only undress ladies..

 

If you do a Trade search for "Switch", then filter to only games, the search result result is terribly low (it will only show games they will do credit for).  Pretty much only games worth a decent amount on the open market.  You'd get more cash than GS credit at a Mom'n'Pop game store.

 

My feeling is that when business' gets too picky on what they accept (and what they turn away), people will learn, and just go elsewhere to unload future stuff all at once.  Of all the games I'd like to trade (DS, 3DS, PS3, Switch). GS would only offer me like $18, with the bonus, for 3 or 4 games out of 20.  Not worth the gas.  I'll just sell the Switch games to a Mom&Pop for double+ the total GS offer, and donate whatever they don't want -- poor GS.

Don't think they're removing any games, just think their search results and website in general are a mess.

It seems like in the recent year they’ve been making a lot more changes to save themselves money. Aka, removing pro discount, disabling promotion stacking, increasing minimum free shipping charge, etc. it wouldnt surprise me if the days of getting $10 for a game they sell at $5 is over.

[aircobra]

Removing Pro wasn’t done to save money. People need to remember that the majority of their trade-ins are from people that want quick cash. For every one of us that trade-in a $2 valued game for $7, there are 10 people that trade-in the newest release for $20 cash, that they then turn around and get $55 for.

So, Gamestop only wants to buy games it can resell for good money. huh. what a weird business model.

Are you forgetting that pro also removed 10 percent off preowned purchase price?

Just stop. You're not right when it comes to thinking they removed the 10% to save money.

[Kpjcelj]

Can you explain why they did it then?

[RunningMan]

There is a ...............

Yo, thanks for your clear outline, got 11  games, shipping from 3 different locations, will post if complete, nothing spectacular or steelbook, but I'll still report on completeness.

[strikeanywhere]

Lol. Daily deal is 5 - 9.99 and under games for 25 dollars. I guess if someone REALLY wants that fifth game at the reduced price...

 

Also Fallout 76 for 4 dollars.

[bonesawisready]

Would that 3.99 FO76 be in store too? Don’t want to order onljne it I can’t find it with a case

No. Gamestop's in-store prices only matched DotDs during the holiday season last year.

Can you not just do store pickup if they have it cased the way you want? I have done an online order for pickup while in a store. I told them what I was doing and they held it while I browsed around, it was under 10 minutes for it to hit their system. I have called and asked if something was complete as well and they held it for my pickup order to come through...that was during curbside pickup only in my area.

Yes, you can do this. However, the system isn't consistent in how long it takes for a store pickup order to appear in that store's orders.

[bonesawisready]

I ordered a copy of Fallout for store pickup and at the last second it changed the store to one across town. Do I have to call them to cancel the order?

[SephirothWF]

Anyone know how to buy the preowned coupons on the website? They aren't showing up for me.

I knew I should have cashed out sooner... gone from the site and the App. I'd say the pre-owned coupons are likely no more.

How is the Fusion U Headset?

 

I'm looking for a good starter headset for console gaming; the xbone did not come with one and the x360 does not fit.

 

I really didn't care much for the x360 headset but they got the job done. I have a set of Turtle Beach Earforce X12. I keep adjusting the volume so I can hear the game and chat but to avoid the static noise with the x12.

picked up my order from last weeks buy 2 $14.99 games for $15 got Everybody's Golf PS4 and Escapestists 1 and 2 PS4 both came in generic cases but since today they are letting people in store I was able to fine the case and original art work for Escapestists 1 and 2 it was a new to used copy now all I need to do is fine a store with the original art work for Everybody's Golf

[bonesawisready]

So I have to drive across town to cancel an in store pickup that somehow got put at a store across town. Called them and they said either come there or wait 7 days for a refund so I guess I will just wait. Really dumb that I can’t cancel the order on the website

It's been like this for the last 15 years at least.
