I don't understand how two of my orders say "waiting for product availability" but yet they can still be ordered online. Is GS selling product they don't actually have in stock? Customer service said they would call me back with an answer. I doubt they will, lol. Maybe that YouTube guy, C.....331 will make a video on this.

I suspect the lists are old/incomplete/won't be used. I don't see any 2020 releases among the titles. 

MWT1120 (as in Nov 2020, so maybe Halloween weekend?) shows some 2020 titles, but nothing too recent... Paper Mario, Tsushima and TLOU II being the newest I think.

outside of I think a few local retailers (like H-E-B plus) doing $99 Black Friday sales for 4GB 360 and 12GB PS3, no they never hit $99. Official last MSRP drop was $199. There is a very good chance Xbox one and PS4 are already at the lowest MSRP ($299) that they ever will be. Used market tho should see prices tumbled as we progress into next gen as people forget about current gen.

Yep, I think I may pickup a PS4 (hopefully Pro!) used from the next Amazon warehouse sale if they drop to ~$100 range. GS refurbished scares me, though my Wii U is still kicking (touchpad is borked). Will pass on PS5 until its library is more mature... and I have a higher resolution TV

Same, common titles that are till in-stock - my guess is the system for ship-from-store that was closest to the designation address was down / broken and they're just waiting for them to come back online or confirm stock.

The majority of my stock are low value relying on a +5, though a MWT would still be nice for the first party   flips

Get over it. FedEx sucks. FedEx only picks up from stores 1 or 2 times PER week. Delivery is going to SUCK! Get used to "Label created" for a good while, if you buy from GameStop, much. "Label Created" is where your packages will spend half+ the delivery time, because there is no driver to pick up "your" package (and no driver wants to get involved - they don't care.)

UPS was a better service, but that's a different topic.

PS - the FedEx delivery days are wrong, you'll get them yesterday, today, or tomorrow, or weeks down the road. I don't work for FedEx, just sayin'. FedEx blows.

You didn't quote the right person there bud.

[2changz]

Did you get an email saying it was ready to be picked up?

I got 3 of them within the 3 days I placed the order. Then when I went to the actual store, they couldn't mark it shipped, and I haven't gotten any emails since then.

[friggotha]

Disregard.  Unnecessary post.  My apologies.

[2changz]

If you didn't get a 'ready for pickup' email, I am not sure why you're calling the employee stupid.

The thing is I got those emails 3 times. It was ready the day I placed the order but I couldn't make the drive out until the weekend.

[DisGonnaBeGood]

I assure you, I did.
 

What are you even talking about. I didn't say anything about Fedex, or "label created" in my post you quoted. I did however mention that my order has 7/11 items "awaiting product availability". So yeah, NOT THE SAME THING.

Am I an idiot for taking part in their buy 5, get 50% off used sale? I know they've been doing it off and on for awhile. Found 5 games and not really worried about them being a better price on BF, but if they're "new" (Gamestop new) on BF that's less likely to be a trash disc or caseless, right? Is this considered a good deal or nothing to get excited by?

GameStop deals can be good.  It's mostly luck though.

There’s not much use speculating on the list. It stays 90% the same month to month. What matters is the change in values which we won’t know until the bump is in effect.

[shadowysea07]

But this happens all the time. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com?

That doesn't mesh given that amazon has a price guarantee so whatever you order it at is how much it will cost unless it goes lower then they will adjust it.

 

What you are talking about must be extremely ymmv or at least I have never encountered or heard of it happening before.

 

 

You ever hear of the Amazon preorder guarantee?

Exactly.

They've been complaining about fedex every chance they get lately for whatever reason.  And they are a regular so they certainly can't argue that ups is any better than fedex when both have been equally bad this year thus far.  The only thing ups does better is more frequent pick ups from the stores.  But that didn't mean much months back when many were closed or are still closed.

Looking at their other posts they may end up getting suspended or banned soon if they keep escalating in behavior.

[friggotha]

Half the battle is getting the package in the mail first and foremost, my good sir / madam.  Having it sit for days waiting to be picked up, is days wasted, turning a 3 day delivery into a potential 7+ day FedEx nightmare.

[soonerdoc]

Yes, it is.  There is a $5 eshop code that prints on receipt.  

 

He asked if you can walk into the store and buy a $5 eshop card. You cannot. You may be able to buy a code at the POS for $5. You may be able to order a $5 digital code on the website. But you cannot walk into a gamestop and walk out with a $5 eshop card.

 

I am waiting for you to show me a picture of the $5 eshop card you bought in the store. Whenever you’re ready. 

[soonerdoc]

Gamestop sells them on their site, so...

 

Link?

[sleepwalkingninja]

Link?

You can clearly type, so I'm sure you can find it without help.

[strikeanywhere]

Good to see things are back to normal around here.

[Davem]

eShop cards - some values are only available digitally (like the $5, $45, $70, $99). I'm sure if you could authenticate a legit physical $5 eshop Toad card, you could totally flip it on eBay for $500!

I've never understood why there's a $45 denomination and a $50 one

I’m sure this has been asked before, but I can’t seem to find an exact answer-
On the 30% trade towards preorder bonus, can you trade in excess of the items value?
For example I’d like to preorder dark souls for ps5 & trade in my PS4 pro which with the bonus would be roughly equivalent to selling it on fb marketplace, which I really don’t want to deal with.
I’ve seen some posts that say you only get the bonus up to the value of the game, which I don’t recall being true.

Yes, you can trade in for more than the game's value, but this won't apply to you because consoles don't get the preorder bonus, only games.

30% bonus is only on game trades. Weekly ad fine print: "Offer valid on game trades only."

[poet17eric]

For October 13-14's promo "spend $75, get $10 gift card" was there any wording "while supplies last"? On the screenshot helpfully shared a page or two back, I didn't see anything like that, but was just told that through help chat. This is the second time I've tried to get an adjustment.

 

First missing Game Coin, now this, I was planning on trying to get a couple $30 coupons for spending $300x2 on next gen games/accessories but if wrestling with CS is going to be like this? Geez!

[TheLegendofTyler]

I woke up this morning and for some reason I'm really wondering what everyone's opinions are on $5 eShop cards and FedEx... All opinions are welcome!

Thank you! I was looking for that and still didn’t see it, sorry about that!

[Shojsauce]

For preorders you get the points when you pick up the item not when you pay for it right? I'm currently sitting on 26k points so between that and coupons and preorders for a ps5, series x, cyberpunk, black ops, nba 2k, and spiderman I think I might be in good shape to get a free game next month. 

[mchittumjr]

Just got my $10 off $60 coupon for downloading the Gamestop app. Not sure if it matters, but I deleted the app went through the email to redownload and turned on notifications. Came via messages looks like unique code and not listed under my active offers. Cant be used on gift cards, preorders, new hardware, and digital products. Has to be used in the app. Expires 10/31.
