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

I like how you called me out for being “wrong” yet you’ve still yet to explain why the fact they discontinued pro isn’t to save/gain them money.

Having a hard time resisting the urge to return the conveniently split delivery of 10 $30 games for full (pre-50%) off price... morals.... damnit!

What's everyone's success rate for original cases so far? I'm at 7/9 for ps4 games and 1/14 for 3ds games (ouch!) with more to come. Will probably return most of the 3ds games...

Ordered something like 22ish ds/3ds games and ended up with about 5 or 6 original 3ds cases. So approx 20-25% on those. I think it was about 4 or 5 ds games and zero cases, so excluding ds, 3ds was probably more like 30-35% for me.

I can list specifics when I inventory the rest of them if anyone really cares.

Another day, another issue. This time I ordered a new uncharted: lost legacy, instead I got a very used copy of Until Dawn... calling in has been fairly painless, but this is the third mistake now.

I wonder if DS/3DS is so bad because it's like kids putting their games in those multi-game holders and throwing away the original box or something. My brother bought 7 DS/3DS games and only 1 of them had the original case I believe. He has 8 more coming in as well, not expecting much.

 

For me though, success rate has been decent on recent orders. PS4 7/10, X1 2/4, 360 2/3, PS3 3/4. PS3 was actually impressive as multiple games had their full manual/paperwork and one even had a dlc code I was able to redeem.

I will return a few without cases and buy an Xbox card. The receipts are usually my paid price.

I would assume the ds being a portable system and the cases are not along with the cartridges don't need scratch protection like a discs make it the perfect storm for case neglect.

Sucks for me since play time is limited and I actually get enjoyment from the case art on the shelf...

If that’s your sole intent, I personally feel that would be wrong, but not judging.  GameStop is still a professional business that should know what it is doing by this point.  I’ve returned one or two out of a bundle like that, I even mentioned it was part of a 50% off sale to the cashier, and they still just gave me full price back...if I get a junk replacement case and print out cover, it’s going back, and they can refund how they want.  I don’t see anything wrong with that, not much more I could have done, and I knew going in I was only keeping the ones I received complete.  I just got PS4 and switch, and they did really well overall.  First time I’ve ever bought pre-owned from GameStop actually, and I ended up getting like 20!  Kept 17 overall.  Is this one of the better pre-owned sales GameStop has ever done?  Seems like it has to be, I never found enough at a good price prior.

Gamestop throws/threw DS (and 3DS) cases away when they were no longer a hot system, and they needed to condense their inventories to make space. It was and is largely on a store-by-store or district by district basis, but I'd wager than a significant chunk of destroyed artwork and instruction manuals for the handhelds are entirely because of gamestop purging them.

So I ordered Ultra Street Fighter IV and I recieved an Ultra Street Fighter IV case but a Super Street Fighter IV disc.
Does anyone know if I can return and exchange for the correct disc if i find a local store that has it?

For non-system specific sales, In recent years it has been second only to post-christmas sale this year were everything was... half off or buy 2g2 (something of that ilk), with the pro discounts still potentially available.

During the end of the PS2/Xbox generation's run, games got as low, I believe, as 90% off.

Yea, it seems hit or miss on if the packing slip invoice will have the listed price or the discounted price, it makes returning $0.00 games impossible to get a refund for (if it's not possible to get a replacement), but easy to get a refund for more than you paid for it in the other case.

Intent was  the flip to amazon, so if they get rejected they're going back to GS full price since they aren't in stock anywhere near me.  :D/

I don’t think I can call my games a backlog anymore, it’s a probably never log now.  But getting all for a price that I could resell them and more than get my money back, even years down the road, it would be a worse decision to just not get them...right?  I have way too many games now, but such good prices!  I signed up for pro for the first time ever last month too, the extra points I earned more than paid it off and I’m looking forward to the game informer physical subscription, if one eventually arrives, taking awhile.

Yeah, nothing wrong with just normal consumer behavior and what you would have done anyway is my outlook.

Just a heads up since I see a few people have had this issue: If you take too long to checkout after you log in (or haven't logged in to begin with), once you log in to check out, it automatically switches the pickup store to your home store (or store closest to you if you haven't picked one). I only notice because my cart will suddenly say "Items are not available at that location" and I'll notice the store has been switched.

I've gotten more 3ds cases with ds games I have ordered because gamestop is hilarious.  Only 3ds title that came in a 3ds case was fire emblem birthright and it was missing the cover art.  All the others have come in generic cases.

 

ps4 wise I was luckier on that end. 10 titles order 8 in their original cases. dq heroes 1 and 2, south park fractured, monster hunter world, kh2.8, digimon next, penguin wars, world of final fantasy all in cases world to the west and jump stars in generic cases. I did have some back luck with dq2 since the case was smashed on the bottom right corner.

I ordered two Switch, two PS4, and one Xbone game. Only the xbone game didn't have the original case/artwork. As an added bonus, it's also scratched to high heaven and the layers are starting to separate on the edge where a decent chip is missing from the disc. COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE THOUGH.

Wow got a crazy deal on the 5 for $25 games. Somehow I added Animal Crossing New Leaf to my cart for 3.95 as well, I was like boom let me get that.

You sure you aren't confusing it for another game? It's $19 and doesn't qualify...

I'm not getting free shipping with the PS Vita games sale (although the banner says free shipping over $35), and CAG16 doesn't work on other pre-owned games in my cart at the same time with the Vita games.  When I remove them, both pop up.

I looked over the last couple of pages and did a search but wasn't able to find the answer.  Before all of the stores were shutting down I was able to use the five dollar monthly coupon on a $10 PSN card.  Has anyone tried doing that since the stores have reopened?

Called customer service this morning, it was painless really, hold time was only like 5 minutes and the dude took my info and said I would get an email conf and replacement in 7-10 days. He offered me the option of refund or replacement, I wanted the game.


Well that was botched. Got the replacement today, had a case this time. The back cover art was ripped a bit and liquid damaged. The cart was in worse shape than the original. One of the plastic pins (for lack of a better word) that separate the metal contacts was broken off and the two on either side of it were bent outwards.

Well looks like a trip to my store now.

I was able to. Did $5 off $10 PSN credit in May. For June, I did the PS Now sub. The associate had to get help because it has to be the SKU that prints the code on the receipt. Physical card didn't discount the $5.
